Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

What's the date that it becomes too late to drop out? Labor Day weekend?

I know that states have different rules for removing someone from the ballot. So at some point you just couldn't make a change, and a doubt that it's as late as 60 or even 90 days before the election.

He may be a narcissistic conman but the alternative is much worse. Lesser of evils.

Joe Biden is not a good person.

Trump is a dangerous person. Telling people to inject disinfectants.

He is also a felon.

His connections to Project 2025 are also concerning.

All politicians are eventual felons. It just takes longer for some to get caught than others. Don't be so naive that you think all politicians are good hearted people.

Alan. You're an idiot.

What was the crime?

Feel free to use Google you still won't be able to figure out what crime he committed.

Just like it took 2+ years for the left to figure out the laptop wasn't Russian disinformation it's going to take 2+ years for the cult to find out Trump isn't actually a felon.

Awe that's cute. I've made it. The Letsrun trolls are calling me names.

Project 2025 wants to cut VA benefits including concurrent VA disability and retirement pay.

Are Republicans counting on the inability of Veterans, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen to read?

United States of America v. Donald J. Trump, Waltine Nauta, and Carlos De Oliveira United States District Court, Southern District of Florida Willful Retention of National Defense Information (18 U.S.C. § 793(e)); Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice (18 U.S.C. §1512(k)); Withholding a Document or Record (18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(b)(2)(A), 2); Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record (18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(1), 2); Concealing a Document in a Federal Investigation (18 U.S.C. §§ 1519, 2); Scheme to Conceal (18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a)(1), 2); False Statements and Representations (18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a)(2), 2). Illegally mishandling several classified records after leaving the presidency, taking them to and storing them at his personal estate at Mar-a-Lago. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon set specific parameters for how and when Trump can review the evidence, as well as barring him from publicly discussing sensitive material. Walt Nauta, a valet to Trump, is a co-defendant charged in the scheme to conceal classified government documents from federal investigators. Carlos De Oliveira, a Mar-a-Lago property manager, is a co-defendant. According to the indictment, he told an employee at Mar-a-Lago that "the boss" wanted security video deleted after federal investigators requested the recordings from Trump's attorneys. He is also accused of making false statements to the government. Indefinitely postponed. Originally scheduled for May 20, 2024, Judge Cannon indefinitely postponed the trial claiming that setting a trial date at this point “would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court.” Link

The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump Supreme Court of the State of New York Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree (N.Y. Penal §175.10) Falsifying business records by labeling hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels made through attorney Michael Cohen as legal expenses, when they were not. Cohen paid Daniels, and then Trump repaid Cohen, classifying the payment to Cohen as part of a retainer agreement, when in fact it was not. Judge Merchan imposed a gag order in March 2024, in advance of the April trial date, that bars Trump from publicly commenting on court staff and prosecution lawyers other than Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg if the comments are meant to significantly interfere with their work in the case. Judge Merchan extended that protection to the family members of staff and lawyers as well, and he blocked Trump from making any public comments about prospective and actual jurors. In April 2024, the Judge also extended the gag order to cover both the judge and the district attorney's families, citing recent attacks against Judge Merchan's daughter, rejecting Trump’s argument that his statements were “core political speech.” Trump does not have co-defendant(s) in this case, but a key witness in the case is Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen. Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts on May 30, 2024. He is set to be sentenced on July 11, 2024. Link
The State of Georgia v. Donald J. Trump, et al. Fulton County Superior Court Violation of GA RICO (O.C.G.A. §16-14-4(c); Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings (O.C.G.A. §16-4-8 and O.C.G.A. §16-10-20); Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree (O.C.G.A. §16-4-8 and O.C.G.A. §16-9-1(b)); Conspiracy to Committ Filing False Documents (O.C.G.A. §16-4-8 and O.C.G.A. §16-10-20.1(b)(1)); Filing False Documents (O.C.G.A. §16-10-20.1(b)(1)); False Statements and Writings (O.C.G.A. §16-10-20) Trump and 18 other individuals were indicted in a 41-count indictment in August 2023. The indictment alleges that Trump and 18 other individuals acted as part of a coordinated effort to pressure Georgia state officials to change the election outcome. The charges against Trump include soliciation of a violation of an oath by a public officer, citing Trump's infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump pushed him to "find" votes and reverse his loss in the state. Trump and his co-conspirators are accused of violating the state's RICO Act, bringing in election subversion efforts such as the efforts to copy election data in Coffee County and hearings designed to convince lawmakers to throw out certified results were also part of the criminal enterprise. In March 2024, Judge McAfee dismissed the three solicitation charges against Trump due to lack of sufficient detail as to the nature of the solicitation. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has not yet issued a gag order in this case, but has ordered that parties in the case are barred from disclosing the names, addresses, telephone numbers or identifying employment information of the jury or any prospective jurors. The judge also barred videos, photographs, or any other images -- including drawings made "in a realistic or otherwise identifable manner" -- of those jurors. The order came on the heels of Trump supporters posting online the names and addresses of members of the grand jury that voted to return an indictment against the former president (the names of grand jury members is public under Georgia law). Former Trump attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, and bail bondsman Scott Hall have all entered guilty pleas, after agreeing to testify in any trials related to the case. Ongoing. Trump has appealed to the Georgia Court of Appeals to have Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis removed from prosecuting the case. The Court of Appeals has set a tentative date of October 4, 2024 for oral arguments. The case in the trial court is able to proceed while this appeal happens, but no trial date has been set. Link
United States of America v. Donald J. Trump District Court for the District of Columbia Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 USC §371); Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding (18 USC §1512(k)); Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding (18 USC §1512(c)(2), 2); Conspiracy Against Rights (18 USC §241) The charges relate to Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, culminating in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed a narrow gag order on Trump, prohibiting him from making public statements attacking prosecutors, court staff, and potential witnesses. The order does not prohibit Trump from generally disparaging the Biden administration, the DOJ, and the trial venue, and is still able to argue that the case is politically motivated. The indictment lists six "unnamed co-conspirators" but the names of these co-conspirators have not been disclosed to the public, despite the indictment alleging that these six individuals served crucial roles in the alleged conspiracy. The unnamed co-conspirators have not been criminally charged or officially named by prosecutors. Ongoing. The original trial date of March 4, 2024 was postponed as Trump appeals to the Supreme Court on whether presidential immunity shields him from prosecution. The Supreme Court is expected to rule sometime before the end of this term, ending in June.

Seeing as you're getting your information from a source that tells you Trump told people to inject themselves with bleach it's pretty clear you have absolutely no idea what Project 2025 says about anything.

Trump also doesn't endorse Project 2025.

You're being lied to.

None of those cases have been decided other than the NY case which will be thrown out on appeal. As I said it will be 2 or more years until a cult member like yourself figures out the case was political garbage from the start.

Way to go A-Dolt! Yesterday you cite Vlad Putin as a trustworthy source for truth.

Today you are telling the world they are in a cult if they don’t believe Trump is telling the truth.

You keep doing you.

What happened to Cite the crimes he is charged with?

You said nobody could cite the crimes

Weird

"There has never been a case in American history in which a former official has engaged in conduct remotely similar to Trump’s.
- He intentionally took possession of a vast trove of some of the nation’s most sensitive documents—documents so sensitive that they were presented to the President—and stored them in unsecured locations at his heavily trafficked social club.
- When the National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”) initially sought their return (before learning that they contained classified national defense information), Trump delayed, obfuscated, and dissembled.
- Faced with the possibility of legal action, he ostensibly agreed to comply with NARA’s requests but in fact engaged in additional deception, returning only a fraction of the documents in his possession while claiming that his production was complete.
- Then, when presented with a grand jury subpoena demanding the return of the remaining documents bearing classification markings, Trump attempted to enlist his own attorney in the corrupt endeavor, suggesting that he falsely tell the FBI and grand jury that Trump did not have any documents, and suggesting that his attorney hide or destroy documents rather than produce them to the government.
- Failing in his effort to corrupt the attorney, Trump enlisted his trusted body man, codefendant Waltine Nauta, in a scheme to deceive the attorney by moving boxes to conceal his (Trump’s) continued possession of classified documents.
- As a result, Trump, through his attorney, again returned only a portion of the classified documents in his possession while falsely claiming that his production was complete. The obstructive conduct even persisted from there.
- In June 2022, knowing that he had arranged for Nauta to move boxes to conceal them from Trump’s attorney, and knowing that the government had subpoenaed the security video footage that would reveal that surreptitious box movement, Trump, now joined by not only Nauta but also codefendant Carlos De Oliveira, attempted to have the information-technology manager at Mar-aLago delete the video footage that would show the movement of boxes."

Trump's actual quote available from many sources:

'Trump, April 23: A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting, right? And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that. So that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.'

75 years living in NYC with Democrat DAs - 0 Indictments

Last couple of years after declaring he will run again - 92 Indictments

And for the last time, he is NOT a convicted felon

I also believe Trump has no idea about Project 2025 because he is clueless about most things, but his former staffers and policy heads are all over it and it is definitely going to influence policies he tries to push.
