As someone that's disliked his fake rich amazing business man BS since 2006 I'm still on the best timeline, because he never would have been exposed as a fraud without this much scrutiny.
You've got to widen your perspective past 2015 when he announced, past 2012 when he fake announced... he's always been a con man.
I remember watching the Flames run in 2004 with a bunch of people and The Apprentice came on and I was disgusted by him then. I’ve never understood his so called appeal.

I dunno... strategically, regardless what he believes, it'll go to court, so wouldn't it make the most sense to push it to after the election with hopes that he wins and then can potentially control the punishment as President vs. an ex-President? Too obvious, maybe?
Very good interview with a former CIA Agent whistleblower who talks through a number of things, including him whistleblowing on the US government for the evil they were doing to prisoners through torture and the US completely ignoring ethical behaviors and international law, as well as Giuliani and Trump asking him for $2M for a pardon when Trump was President after. Pretty wild stuff, especially the part where he says that the CIA is full of sociopaths and psychopaths who have no issues sleeping knowing full well the cruelty they are invoking on other human beings.

Selling pardons? We know it’s happened but corruption around every turn with these guys. Presidents (and PMs) shouldn’t have full pardon powers. Friend, pardon available, otherwise sucks to be you.
JFK shutting down the CIA's Operation Northwoods, which was false flag operations that would be conducted with the intent of instigating war with Cuba, was probably the event which led to the CIA going rogue and becoming the knife in the darkness of the US Empire.

Legal scholars increasingly raise constitutional argument that Trump should be barred from presidency.

Prominent conservative legal scholars are increasingly raising a constitutional argument that 2024 Republican candidate Donald Trump should be barred from the presidency because of his actions to overturn the previous presidential election result.
How would that even work? Who has the authority to make that decision? The SCOTUS? Alabama Republicans are straight up ignoring the SCOTUS when it comes to redrawing districts... Elections are run by the states, the RNC is a private organization. If the SCOTUS says to not allow Trump on the primaries ballot or not on the ballot for president if he's nominated and those directives are ignored what happens? It's not like the SCOTUS can enforce anything.

I was also in the US this week and had a wonderful time. Also had some of the best service from hotels, restaurants and stores I can remember having in years. Crazy expensive but a good time was had everywhere I went.
