Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Without getting into the legality of Trump's catch and kill scheme, it would be good to have an open discussion on the topic. (not that this is possible here)

In the coming days David Pecker of the national enquirer with testify that Trump, Cohen and Pecker had an agreement to seek out and kill all negative stories about Trump by whatever means necessary. Including paying people off. In addition, the head of the National Enquirer would feature negative stories about Hillary Clinton. And that is exactly what happened.

Before you Trumpers say 'no bid deal". Would you be ok with Biden sitting down with leading news publications to do the same? Of course you wouldn't. It would be the leading story in the news for weeks if Biden did this.

It is time that we as a nation took time to grasp that the one guy that has cried election fraud more than any other human being in history, and the guy that has discredited democracy in the eyes of a large portion of this country is exactly the same person that repeatedly tried to cheat in every way possible to win the election.

Trump's re-election will depend on Wall Street too. Everything in the country depends on Wall Street. They run the country. I think your money will be fine. I wouldn't be surprised if we were headed towards another 2008 type event, but everyone will get bailed out and it will recover. We can count on the Wall Streeters to Wall Street. They are 100x greedier than you and I, and their money is also tied up in Wall Street.

To the other stuff, yes. We're gonna have like a psuedo-fascist thing going on. It's gonna be appalling. It's gonna be good TV. Wouldn't want to be a trans person or a poor person or an Iranian person. If someone drops a bomb on us, I don't think it will be in Atlanta so that's cool. It'll be sad and sucky but I think we'll be okay all things considered. We can still touch grass

I think it's more fundamental...trump is actively trying to rip the social fabric. If he wins he'll have zero check on him...he'll think he has a mandate for full-on m'aga and no R will ever stand in his way if he wins. If he wins he'll prove M'aga was the way to go after all, and the 'good' Rs will fold completely.

ripping the social fabric of a democracy is fundamental and radical...it's not always fixable. And trump will want to make it unfixable, as his legacy.

The US will be in BIG trouble if Trump is re-elected. The ONLY reason I am concerned that it could happen is that at Biden's age, anything could happen to him, and it WILL take Biden to be dead or incapacitated for Trump to win, but that for sure could happen...could happen to either one of them as they are both OLD.

Donald Trump is a dictator wannabe. If he's elected again, he won't have any traditional Republicans in his administration, because they have all rejected him, and he will ONLY have lackeys. Anyone who ever worked with or for him in a large role has denounced him harshly. The rule of law will be essentially gone, so that allows him to do almost anything, and really probably anything he wants to do...stay in power longer than 4 years, appoints one of his moron kids to be President when he's done, etc.

Please don't say Trump is a wannabe dictator. It is BIDEN who is behaving like a dictator. The Supreme Court told him he can't transfer student debt people who benefited from that student loan to American citizens who never entered into that agreement. YET, Biden went ahead and did that anyway. He ignored the Constitution. He doesn't care about the Constitution.

if you are dumb enough not to understand that inflation was baked in the cake by the trump admin when Joe took office then you should just continue to stare into Fox's lies. They need your money to pay hundreds of millions of dollars of settlements for carrying trump's water. JFC.

Trump is good for world peace? Ok man. Ok. Ok. You are fine. Just sit down and have a good drink. Just relax. We'll take care of making serious adult decisions.

Obama’s economic advisor warned that the American Rescue Plan was about five times bigger than it needed to be when it was under consideration and would create inflation. Guess what happened? It was too big, and it did create inflation. That’s not my viewpoint. That’s a Biden supporters viewpoint. And, yes, the war in Ukraine has had an impact, but that also rests with Biden. He and Obama’s nation building attempts in Ukraine are a big reason why Russia is in the Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

Heard an interesting and surprising (?) thing on the radio this morning. Lazy me hasn't Googled it, yet, but is it true that Trump doesn't even admit the affairs with Stormy and/or Susan?

Now, because Trump is Trump, I assume that the prosecution has a mountain of evidence with sub-mountains of lies and contradictions. And so one absurd lie might not mean much.

But IF Trump does, in fact, deny one or both affairs, and IF this were a "normal" trial with perhaps a near-normal defendant, wouldn't denying the freakin' affairs(s) be reason enough for a heck of a lot of jurors to decide, "Yep, if he can claim THAT doozy (no affairs/s), then I'm gonna go ahead and believe zero of what the defense is claiming about pretty much anything else" ???

This is why Trump can never take the stand.
1. if his mouth is moving he is lying. This works on Fox News. Not in a court of law with trained prosecutors.

2. Trump would open himself up to an avalanche of damning information to discredit him.

But you are right. In a normal case, the fact that a defendant lied is very bad for him. But in this case every juror and every human being on the planet knows Trump is a prolific liar. We are in a sad place where the entire society treats Trump differently for being a liar. . And he will likely get a pass in this trial too.

Ironically, the bulk of Trumps expected defense will be to discredit CoHen for being a liar.

, larry summers has been wrong 90 times out of 100. Picking one of the 10 times he is right makes you look even more ignorant than you seem to be. Example: Hey! trump told the truth once! I guess that makes him an honest man worth citing in arguments! No, it doesnt. It makes you look like a fool to cite him and ignore that 90% of what Trump says is false.

The inflation surge began something like 3 months after Joe took office. It was coming no matter what Joe did. Pent up demand and broken supply chains = inflation in the US and every one of its peers. It was happening no matter what. Not Joe's fault.
