Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Rinaldo Nazzaro, the American nazi living in St Petersburg, Russia, is featured in several stories this morning, including the Spokane paper. He bought land in Washington State for paramilitary training.

Putin’s traitors sure get around.

Weirdly enough, some here have decided that it's not appropriate to call Trump a criminal. How is that?

crim·i·nal

/ˈkrim(ə)n(ə)l/

a person who has committed a crime.

The definition isn't "someone who has been convicted of a crime". If he had been (and when he will be), I will call him a "convicted criminal".

So, what crimes has Trump committed? FELONY campaign finance law violations. Not indicted ONLY because he is a sitting President. Cohen is in prison for this where Trump is "Individual-1". He did that with regard to the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. He did it again when he solicited live on camera help from Ukraine and China for dirt on Biden. These are crimes. Soliciting foreign interference in a US election is a crime. Makes him a criminal. NO ONE is saying he didn't do these things.

Beyond the above slam dunk, The Judiciary Committee has determined that Trump has "committed multiple federal crimes".

The GAO has said what Trump did with regard to holding up aid to Ukraine was "illegal". Trump was accused of "illegal" activity with regard to his Trump University and had to pay $25 million in a civil suit.

Trump advanced his personal interests/wealth with regard to The Trump Foundation which is ILLEGAL, and his foundation was dissolved because of it, and he and some of his adult children (which ones, you wonder?) are under investigation right now regarding the foundation.

Beyond all that, he is being investigated right now for additional state and federal crimes. Even if those investigations come up empty, he has already engaged in criminal behavior described above. With the FELONY campaign finance law violations alone, he is a criminal. He will end up in prison unless he dies before the process is complete.

Florida is solid red this cycle. The election will be won/lost in the Midwest.

Why did both the governor's race and senate race go to a recount last year?

And don't forget Arizona.

The Democrat candidate can win the whole thing without flipping a single sate in the Midwest.

Trump has to defend a number of close states that he won last time., with few states available to gain that he lost.

And now he's talking about making cuts to social security and medicare along with the removal of medical coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.

Attending an anti-abortion rally isn't going to close his losing margin with women.

People don't like his personality or his policies.

Flagpole, you make some great points in that one does not need to be convicted to be a criminal. Please answer the following yay or nay ...

Have you ever gone 1 MPH over the speed limit?

Have you ever not come to a complete stop at a stop sign?

Have you ever not used your blinker to change lanes?

Have you ever paid a maid or a landscaper or anyone else in cash and not reported to the government?

Have you ever entered a school zone, not realizing it, but you were a little over the speed limit?

Have you ever not reported ALL of your income, even unknowingly?

If you answer any of those in the affirmative, then YOU, my fried, are a CRIMINAL. Yes, I don't know one person who has ever not gone1 MPH over the speed limit. So YOU, Flagpole, are a criminal unless you are able to answer all of those in the negative.

I think it was you who pointed out how the Climate Crisis will hurt Tiny in November?

This is even more true in Florida where residents are keenly aware of stronger hurricanes, sunny day flooding, and coastal erosion due to the warming planet.

Tiny's "Climate Change is a Chineese hoax" is not going to play well in Florida.

According to the Tampa Bay Times:

You are talking about polls, not facts! Remember when Katrina hit and Climate "Scientists" were promising us more and even more ferocious hurricanes? What Happened to that? Well Wilma in 2004 was the last major hurricane (Cat 3 or higher) to his mainland US in 10 years! Seriously, enough with this Global Warming stuff!

Like it or not, the Climate Crisis will be the dominant issue for the rest of this century.

Deflection. We are not talking about me. If you want to equate going 1 mile over the speed limit to FELONY campaign finance law violations that carries up to 5 years in prison for each count, then you are beyond unreasonable. Again though, we aren't talking about me. I am not the President of the United States. My conduct (which is as close to pristine as can be), even if it were horrible and grossly unlawful, has no bearing on what someone else does or is doing, and it is not as important as that of the President of the United States. Your view on Trump is shameful.

Doesn't matter what you think, polls are showing the country is more concerned than ever about the environment. Trump has ONLY stacked his chips on his 46%, that's already a losing bet statistically. His assumption that all who voted for him are extremely ignorant mouth breathers may backfire bigly. Some thought he would play president after winning and act like a leader of all americans - they have inevitably been disappointed with his extreme hard right stance. He can't win again with 45-45% if Dem turnout is solid.

Do you ever talk about the great improvement that the Us has made in cutting its C02 emissions? Or that the main culprits are China and India and nothing will make a difference until those 2 countries make drastic changes (which is unlikely to happen)?

I was obviously wrong about FOX. Last night they chose to air it's normal propaganda instead of showing the raw live footage of the trial. They figured tzees wouldn't find it important to watch only the third impeachment trial ever play out. Hannity and Carlson went on to call it a nothingburger and went on about their trash. But hey that's business right.

I never made a post about the climate crisis hurting Trump.

But since you brought it up, it may depend on how hurricane season goes this year.

Sometimes nothing major happens or the major ones stay at sea.

And sometimes you get a couple of big ones hitting Florida hard.

I don't if that will swing Florida, but I am sure Trump is rooting for the storms to stay at sea.

Florida is the craziest state, though.

With 29 electoral votes, it's the largest swing state.

It has a major metro area in Miami and cultural diversity.

Then there is a pan handle bordering Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi and the vote that way there.

A bunch of old people.

And Disney World in the middle.

There are 27 Congressional districts with 14 Republicans and 13 Democrats.

The two senators were split before Republican Rick Scott beat the Democrat last fall in a recount.

The fact that Democrats can win the presidency without winning Florida with a couple of other paths but the Republicans almost have to have it doesn't bode well for the future of Republicans if they don't change their platform.

He's already gone over all that with more than a dozen times, but you are too stupid to compute any of it. So why should he bother.

The thing is Trump doesn't talk about that.

Now and then he says things like we have the cleanest air ever. Everyone's talking about how clean our air is.

But he never talks about his efforts to cut CO2 emissions.

He says wind mills are bad. They kill birds and the TV goes of when the wind doesn't blow.

He says solar is bad because the TV goes off when a cloud comes in . (He really cares about TV)

His official position is that there is no climate issue and we don't need to do anything about it.

The US effort in cutting emissions has come mostly from the private sector and local governments under Trump.

I hope no one has gotten their hopes up on witnesses being called. It isn't going to happen as there is very little sign from the base of supporting removal. The GOP will block all attempts and they won't even try a fantasy football style pitch for Hunter in exchange for someone else - they have nothing to gain from that. The winning game for them is to just shut this baby down asap.

Katrina - Cat 3 - 2005

Irma - Cat 4 - 2017

Harvey - Cat 4 - 2017

Michael - Cat 5 - 2018

These are just US mainland storms. If you include all US territories the number goes up (for example Maria - Cat 4 - 2017)

Also, Wilma was 2005. Just do a bit of research before making incorrect declarations.

You just confirmed my assertion. I said after Wilma there were no major hurricanes for 10 years. Nice use of Google though! Actually 12 years!

Then in the general election the Democrats platform will be that the Republicans wouldn't even allow witnesses or new evidence in the impeachment trial.

What helps with Republicans base in the primaries, hurts them in the general election when it comes to covering for Trump.

Here are the fall ads:

Susan Collins voted no to allow witnesses in the Donald Trump impeachment trial.

Cory Gardner voted no to allow witnesses in the Donald Trump impeachment trial.

Thom Tillis voted no to allow witnesses in the Donald Trump impeachment trial.

Martha McSally voted no to allow witnesses in the Donald Trump impeachment trial.

Joni Ernst voted no to allow witnesses in the Donald Trump impeachment trial.

John Cornyn voted no to allow witnesses in the Donald Trump impeachment trial.

Mitch McConnell is a douche.

There's already an ad about Susan Collin's Kavanaugh vote
