    Given the way that any sort of pro-Trump narrative is beng totally destroyed by the events of the trial, Trump has become completely indefensible...
    Thus, places like PF see less of the usual pro-Trump spam littering threads...

    As the nation gets more tuned in to our creeping police state and its persecution of political opponents, combined with unlimited federal A.I. warrantless data mining, Americans minds are quietly made up:
    At the kitchen table level there is nothing more threatening than crooked law enforcement, and everyone with a lick of sense sees what is going on.
    There are also the legal immigrants, many of whom who fled corrupt regimes. They too see what is happening.
    And if no one gives a damn, then we get the government we deserve.
    And BTW, I fully expect our election to be rigged.

    Agree, nothing worse than a politician creating false accusations and getting people to act on them, all so he could keep power.

    ***Anyway, Back ON-TOPIC:
    Pecker's testimony has clearly eviscerated the entire Trump narrative.
    Can't wait for Cohen and Stormy to testify...

    "rigged"?
    How? Exactly?
    "rigged" like a Bigfoot Sighting?
    Cool...:bored:

    And the left knows it will not be. How does the left know that? Because the left won, therefore it was not rigged?
    Critical thinkers do not have that luxury.

    I do love the influx of “new members” that have very similar posting styles and exact commentary as we get close to the election though.

    I wonder if we will see a mass vanishing like we did in 2016 and 2020?

    So? Let me get this straight...I wouldn't want to miss anything...
    Is the MAGA "Narrative" that:
    "Rigged" = Trump Loses?
    And
    "Not Rigged" = Trump Wins?
    ^That is some real Roswell meets Bigfoot Conspiracy-Mongering...:bored:

    wait

    you mean a wannabe or existing politician looks for ways to quell stories that might seem questionable. Queue up Uri formerly from NPR and the burying of negative biden stories

    welcome to politics but Democrats would never do this.............right

    I think now that the Trump trials have started, the normies are getting uncomfortable with what "taking out your opponent" really looks like. Normies are probably horrified. The flame of hate is flickering...
    Anyone who has ever been in court can appreciate how quickly the law can destroy you financially whether you win or lose.

    I have to wonder if Trump didn't have an R beside his name, would he get this kind of loyalty from the following? Would there be a following?

    I don't know the answer to that but unless one is a fool, we've seen MSNBC and CNN do this for Democratic candidates.

    I do love a good hair burning outrage. How dare Trump have a bury deal with a minor news organization, ohh traitor, lol. then you realize it's not illegal and your side openly supports now so the false outrage isn't going to cut it until you demand MSNBC be fair.

    See, when you listen to the right in this country, in the last few weeks most of them are now accepting that Trump will most likely be found to not have immunity, are now just preparing for the inevitable, which is that he actually is guilty of many of these things.

    Are you getting your talking points directly from Trump or does your news source of choice not explain the case fully?

    You and I have zero idea how things are going to go down and BTW, immunity is in SCOTUS. If you are free there is a lot of blow by blow reporting going on right now.

    i have been following this pretty close. The blow by blow is not really the big picture, but some of the things Trumps lawyers are asking/claiming are pretty scary

    Really? A democrat Justice department that let the head of the FBI, James Comey, try to frame the incoming president on day one because Trump was a rookie and would not see the bullet coming.
    And it kept getting worse from there.

    That's an interesting question that I've thought about recently. I suspect that at least 50% of Trumps followers would. That's why other Republicans that have used Trump to gain voters fall short, those voters don't care about other Republicans, just Trump, at least enough to go vote. For many, it's more like a cult following. I know people who have tended to vote Dem over the years voted for Trump. His antics before and after Jan 6th have turned many of them off, though, so it will be interesting to see when the actual election is held. I was hoping for two different candidates, but here we are. Biden exercised his "right" to run again, and the Republican voters mostly chose Trump to run against him, so we are stuck with the two choices.
