Found guilty on ALL counts of tax fraud.

This is just the beginning.

On a separate issue the Democrats have won control of the senate.

Simple, really. He appears to understand politics better than his opponents. Unfortunately his views seem to have been justified.

Listening to someone (ERG/Tory) talking about Starmer's suggestions for the House of Lords, it was interesting that he thought it would upset the "political" balance. This person did not seem to understand that the House of Commons is a law-making institution and not, directly, a House of Politics.

Trump, and his supporters, do not understand this either. Of course, politics play a part in which laws they will wish to make or not make. But people tire of of shouty, lying PR eventually, then reality strikes. It will happen. Those who are only in it for the illegal fight will, for a while, slip back into the background. Sadly though, they are always there.

DaisyAnne I read the New Yorker and like this satirist:

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s legal team struggled to explain how the original Declaration of Independence made its way to a storage unit leased by the former President in Queens, New York.

The lawyers informed the Justice Department that they had discovered the eighteenth-century document under a stack of hastily packed items, including several pairs of socks and the Oval Office’s television remote.

“Mr. Trump will, of course, return the Declaration of Independence to the National Archives as soon as possible,” Harland Dorrinson, one of the attorneys, said. “This seems to have been some kind of honest mistake.”

That version of events differs from one provided by a source close to the former President, who indicated that Trump had intentionally taken the Declaration of Independence in the hopes that it had a treasure map on the back.

Totally unbelievable that he has still such a huge female following. How could any sane woman (or anyone, but even more so for women) could still support him (or have supported him in the past).

Did you ever see that photo of a couple of middle-aged women replete with MAGA baseball caps sporting the legend on their (red) T shirts - "you can grab my pussy any time you like Mr President" (he was POTUS at the time)?

I saw that and had one of those moments where words can't convey your feelings.

Someone had written underneath the photo, "he wouldn't be interested in your offer love, you're too old". That some women are so prepared to debase themselves...
