Life Is Beautiful

Yeah, it almost looks like well, you know, political persecution. And no, this is not MAGA baloney, I am someone who thinks Donald Trump committed multiple crimes that he needs (or needed) to pay for, but I am also someone who thinks that bringing them ALL, AT THIS TIME, looks a lot like political persecution. Anyway, would be interesting to see whether his almost imminent conviction on this one case (since the other cases will now certainly have a verdict well after the election) is going to affect him with independents. Will it be met with indignation and refusal to vote for a felon, or with a simple shrug? Nobody can forecast for sure since we never had a situation like this before. Interesting times we live in.

I choose the latter, without hesitation.

I literally looked at his Wiki page yesterday and said to myself: "surely he doesn't have much time left...".

You need a hobby, or to get laid. I suggest knitting .

Interesting. This just adds to my previous theory.

Jimmy Carter is now closer to the age of 100 than he is to the age of 99.

I swear everytime I come back to this forum and to to this particular thread, mymango has posted 13 hours ago.

or maybe, you know, vote against him, as people normally do in elections. No matter how you feel about Donald Trump, a 9-0 ruling should possibly get you to realize that the claims were bunk, because at least 3 of the justices are so extremely partisan they almost always rule in favor of left leaning activists. Anyway, now that people know for sure that it is definitely a Biden vs. Trump rematch, I am curious at how the polls and public perception of these two will change in the upcoming weeks and months.

Some good news for the Trumpster, this will delay the case and final verdict to maybe even after the election, which is what his legal team always wished for. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/02/28/trump-supreme-court-immunity-claim-dc-trial/

Dear God the TDS in here is really getting out of hand , you can say a lot about Trump as a leader but he was without a doubt the most hilarious man to ever become US president. There are hundreds of videos on Youtube showing him literally being stand-up comic funny.

Not really, around this time in 2020 not a single poll had Trump winning over Biden. He was trailing by as much as ten points in 2020 (he ended up losing by only four). He was also losing all battleground states in their respective polls barring maybe one. Now it's the opposite. One more thing. IMO the whole “polls don’t count at all this far out thing” doesn’t work in this instance because nobody is ignorant of the candidates. Yes, things can happen between now and November BUT, both have been presidents for four years and the minds of most people have been made on how they perceive them. If people are indicating that they are willing to vote for Trump… then they are willing to vote for him.

Point well taken, hence why I said if the election were to be held TODAY, Trump would win easily. Nobody said anything about November.

That is not true anymore in 2024: most of the young voters (especially Muslim voters from states like Michigan, most of whom have voted Biden in 2020) are very pro-Palestine right now and are slowly but surely switching their votes to Trump or to a third option as a result of Biden's pro-Isreal stance right now (yeah, I know that Trump is no better in this aspect, but he has the benefit of not being the incumbent right now). There is a reason he is winning with young voters now.

Since mid-January, there hasn't been a single poll that has Biden even remotely beating Trump nationally. Adding West and/or RFK to the equation does not seem to change much of the outcome. Seems like most people have their mind made up on the two main candidates by now. The only good news for Biden is that he seems to be "winning back" PA for now, beyond the margin of error, which still gives Trump a 283 - 254 victory (out of these 283, 21 are "leaning red" while 262 are very "strong red" electoral votes). Based on this, if this election were to be held today Trump would easily win.

Well then he must be a pretty lousy dictator for having waited until the last two weeks of his terms, AFTER losing a fair and honest election, to throw in that famous "insurrection" without guns, but with selfie sticks and a guy dressed as a freaking moose, against the most powerful country and army in the world. If Trump is elected again, and presuming he is able to see the end of his term, he will leave office, whether he wants it or not, on Jan 20th, 2029, not a day later. To suggest otherwise is just ridiculous and shows an utter lack of understanding of how anything in the United States works.
