Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the 2024 election.

WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election

I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?

If it was because of his antics with Hillary Clinton I would agree. But this is not it.

I'm applying the old saw, "It couldn't have happened to nicer feller"

The reasoning behind this are his antics surrounding Clinton probably caused me to be exposed to Trumpets antics for four long years, and now that Trumpers antics have turned around, and are criminally investigating him, I say, "it couldn't have happened to a nicer feller"

Has this guy ever said anything with talking about either how great he is or how bad someone else is?

Couldn’t just say “Thank you great state of Florida”

A stretch of road in Palm Beach, Florida, has been renamed “President Donald J. Trump Boulevard.”

The Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted Tuesday to rename a four-mile portion of Southern Boulevard that runs between Palm Beach International Airport and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

The president praised the move in a post on Truth Social.

“It has been brought to my attention that the Great State of Florida, which I won BIG three times, and where I am a proud Resident, has renamed an important four-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard, in Palm Beach County, to ‘PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BOULEVARD,’ Trump wrote Tuesday night. “Thank you to Palm Beach County, Governor Ron DeSantis, and all of Florida’s great State Lawmakers, on granting me this wonderful honor! I LOVE FLORIDA!”……..

I don’t think he violated any laws in 2016 anyway. Not after either. Won’t stop this Admin from making up something though.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Rex Tillerson and how he pegged Trump very very early in his first term. The guy is a forking moron.

Oh, I've seen all of the quotes you've provided. What I haven't seen is you actually rebut the statements provided by Rob, whether in your own words or with someone else's thoughts. Do you have anything to rebut the view of the Founding Fathers re: the office of President?

From Justice Joseph Story, a man educated by the founders. A Justice of encyclopedic knowledge of the constitution.

“And the clause of the constitution, now under consideration, does not even affect to consider them officers of the United States. It says, "the president, vice-president, and all civil officers (not all other civil officers) shall be removed," &c. The language of the clause, therefore, would rather lead to the conclusion, that they were enumerated, as contradistinguished from, rather than as included in the description of, civil officers of the United States. Other clauses of the constitution would seem to favour the same result; particularly the clause, respecting appointment of officers of the United States by the executive, who is to "commission all the officers of the United States;" and the 6th section of the first article, which declares, that "no person, holding any office under the United States, shall be a member of either house during his continuance in office;" and the first section of the second article, which declares, that "no senator or representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.”

IT.WAS.STRAIGHT.UP EXTORTION.
There isn't any other way to describe what has happened here.

U.S. law forbids both accepting a bribe and soliciting a bribe, yet they’re not exactly the same offense. There is an important difference between a police officer who takes money to let a criminal escape and a police officer who uses the threat of arrest to extort money from an innocent citizen. Paramount did not come up with the idea to pay Trump $16 million; Trump decided to squeeze Paramount for the money. What’s going on here is extortion—and it does not get any less extortionate for being laundered through Trump’s hypothetical future library. A systematic pattern has emerged: shakedowns of law firms, business corporations, and media companies for the enrichment of Trump, his family, and his political allies. Every time targets yield, they create an incentive for Trump to repeat the shakedown on another victim.

This time, it was Paramount’s turn. Who will be the next target of an administration that governs by Mafia methods?

 

[LA 2 L.A.]

How do you miss the long history of debating this question.

You keep doing an equivalent of "I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm rubber and you're glue it bounces of me and sticks on you, I'm not listening, I'm not listening, nana nana boo boo, I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening...."

That's not debating. I dare not call it what it actually is, but it's definitely not debating.

 

[LA 2 L.A.]

Nobody is saying there can be no business engaged in.

Sendai absolutely, without a doubt knows that's what people are saying. They are intentionally being dishonest about what they know people have said and are saying.

Yet this interpretation is directly contradicted by the words of the Founding Fathers.

Once again, you keep posting the opinions of people who didn't write the thing as though they negate the words of the people who did write the thing.

The IRS under Donald Trump’s administration will now allow churches and houses of worship to endorse political candidates from the pulpit without losing their tax-exempt status, upending decades of federal law intended to prevent campaigns from using them as a political tool.

The statements were included in a court filing Monday night as part of a settlement with two Texas churches and Christian broadcasters, which sought an even wider exemption that would open the door for any nonprofit groups to endorse politicians.

Those groups initially filed their lawsuit last year during Joe Biden’s administration. At the time, the Department of Justice emphatically rejected claims that tax laws violate churches’ First Amendment rights.

But under the Trump administration, government lawyers compared campaigning from inside a church to “a family discussion concerning candidates.”……..

The president has long promised his evangelical base that his administration would repeal the Johnson Amendment, which would require an act of Congress or aggressive executive actions that would almost certainly face another wave of legal challenges.

Repealing the amendment would allow churches to not only openly endorse candidates but turn them into potential fundraising powerhouses.

Churches, unlike other nonprofit groups, are not required to file 990 forms that disclose key financial information to the IRS, allowing them to operate with a lower degree of financial oversight — opening the door for houses of worship to function more like political action committees.…….

Churches can now endorse political candidates, Trump’s IRS says

Critics fear the Trump administration is opening the floodgates for houses of worship to turn into political fundraising tools

www.independent.co.uk

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday welcomed the Internal Revenue Service's decision that houses of worship could endorse political candidates to their congregations without risking losing their status as tax-exempt nonprofits.

"I love the fact that churches could endorse a political candidate," Trump told reporters at the White House. "If somebody of faith wants to endorse, I think it's something that I'd like to hear."

In a court filing on Monday to resolve a lawsuit by two Texas churches and the National Religious Broadcasters, the IRS said traditional religious communications are exempt from a decades-old provision in the U.S. tax code that bars nonprofits - religious and secular - from endorsing political candidates.

The Justice Department under Democratic President Joe Biden had defended the law's constitutionality in court, saying Congress was entitled to refuse to subsidize political activity through tax benefits.

Trump has criticized the law. During his first term in office in 2017, Trump signed an executive order aimed at easing the ban on political activity by churches.

"Those people were not allowed to speak up. Now they're allowed to speak up," Trump said. "I think it's terrific."................
