The government manufactured crimes in most of the cases (especially in New York). They were charging him with things that they would not charge others with who committed similar offenses (see the list of other presidents and vice presidents who committed similar confidential documents offenses).
Which other former president or vice president refused to hand return confidential documents as soon as the government requested them?
It's worse than that, Trump filed a false affidavit saying all classified material had been returned while he was actively hiding documents.
There is no chance he isn't convicted if that case goes to trial.
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered former Donald Trump attorney and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani to turn over all his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the control of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, t...

At the end of Trump’s term, he directed the CIA to send him the materials collected about Russian interference in the 2016 election, information classified at the highest levels. He said he was going to declassify and release it. He did not. The binder has never been found.
From Reuters, December 2023: “The Russia materials included highly classified raw intelligence gathered by the U.S. and NATO allies, fueling fears that the methods used to collect the information could be compromised…” From CNN, December 2023: “The intelligence was so sensitive that lawmakers and congressional aides with top secret security clearances were able to review the material only at CIA headquarters…”
While I think the Project 2025 stuff and the people behind it is worrisome, I doubt Trump cares much about it if it doesn't have anything to do making him more rich. True, I am banking on him f&cking it up for them by being who he is. Maybe he won't get in their way and he will let them execute their plans. Its possible, but I am just going on how he has always been.
While true the military reports directly to POTUS most of the people at the top of the military are not going to go along with Trump becoming a dictator. While I am sure there are some convincing arguments for how it could play out and that could happen, I guarantee you that there are plans for such an event already. Special instructions on how it would be handled that I don't presume to know but I am certain they have already gone through this scenario and will not go along with a rogue president.
Translation: He might go along with "worrisome" Project 2025, but would probably screw it up and that is good enough. He might try to sieze control of the military to become a dictator, but there is probably a protocol for stopping that. So let's risk the country as we know it?
Do you have data on who the most frequent posters in the past week are (like one of your visual charts)? I've seen more and more manic, m aga spam lately and wonder if it's an illusion or real.

Not sure where you got that from what I said. Honestly, people like you are just as awful as Trump cultists just in the opposite direction. And you should blame yourself for being the kind of reactionary that fuels the M@GA cultists. I watched Trump get elected in 2016 in horror all because people couldn't just STFU about him and ignore him. He is not a serious person and never was. Everyone taking him serious is why we are here. But oh yeah, I am totally going to vote for Trump because I am not brainwashed and sticking to all the same Dem hivemind talking points.

I have to say, I feel the same way. It's like they've shifted into overdrive lately. I don't know if constantly posting Russian propaganda gives them more hope of a Trump win, but they do seem rattled a little bit.
Flagpole's arrogance deserves endless mocking. And the best part is that it will be coming from the lib side. I can just sit back and watch the fireworks!
You and Flagpole both seem very confident in your predictions.
Will you guys put your posting here on the line? Loser leaves town and no longer posts on LRC?
I take that both of your silence on this matter means that your two are not as confident in your predictions as your posts indicate.

Not sure if this is what you meant but I don't see any indication that "keep dreaming" is advocating for voting for Trump. He seems to simply be expressing doubt that a Trump win would be as catastrophic as many fear.

Sad attempt to create an illusion of Trump momentum. This isn't going to be close. Trump is going to lose YUGELY.

Exactly. I am in no way advocating support for Trump.
Definitely, I do not believe another Trump presidency would be good for the country.
I am just not buying into the Hitler comparisons and hanging on every word he utters as if everything that comes out of his mouth isn't complete BS.
