The way you worded the original statement!
What??? And it is still unclear to you or are you just having difficulty adjusting your original misunderstanding in light of my clarification because you can’t admit that you did misunderstand?

This indictment is just one more in a long string of attempts to keep DT off of the ballot in 2024.

It is a nothing burger. It will do nothing but make him stronger.

When Biden "won" the election in 2020 the media should have let DT slip into the ether... not to be mentioned again, ever, until he announced a run in 2024.

That would have been two years of nothing.. If they really thought that the people didn't like him.. he would have slipped below the waterline and out of the lime light.

But, nope... they have had DT as the front and center of many news headlines and attempt after attempt to pin something on him has left them with the proverbial egg on their faces.

This will be no different.

If they truly believed that he would lose an election in 2024.. they should have let the people descied. These last few years of trying to nail him on one thing or another... proves that they know he's strong in the next election and they are scared.

From:


George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said in a Fox News interview shortly after the indictment Thursday that “[Bragg] is attempting to bootstrap [a] federal crime into a state case. And if that is the basis for the indictment, I think it’s rather outrageous.”


“I think it’s illegally pathetic,” Turley added.

Nope. This indictment will have zero impact on DJT's attempt to get on the 2024 ballot. There is no "not under indictment" requirement for office or ballot access.
It is a nothing burger. It will do nothing but make him stronger.
Except his poll numbers are down among independents. We'll see how this plays out.
When Biden "won" the election in 2020 the media should have let DT slip into the ether... not to be mentioned again, ever, until he announced a run in 2024.
Except Trump spent the last 2.5 months in office (from the loss of the election until Inauguration Day) attacking the electoral system and the vote engaging in what really appears like criminal activity. (Charges pending)
That would have been two years of nothing.. If they really thought that the people didn't like him.. he would have slipped below the waterline and out of the lime light.

But, nope... they have had DT as the front and center of many news headlines and attempt after attempt to pin something on him has left them with the proverbial egg on their faces.
It's Trump who can't give up the spotlight. It's an addiction for his ego.
This will be no different.

Prosecutors investigate crimes. There are multiple crimes tied to Trump and his associates. Are prosecutors just supposed to ignore those crimes with the hope Trump will go away?

I find Turley legally pathetic.

Or perhaps it is an attempt to uphold the law, and make law breakers accountable.

It is a nothing burger. It will do nothing but make him stronger.
If the allegations are true, then he has broken many laws. Including trying to cheat the 2016 election with illegal campaign contributions and lying on his financial documents and accounting practices. Should a future, current or ex president be held as above the law?
When Biden "won" the election in 2020 the media should have let DT slip into the ether... not to be mentioned again, ever, until he announced a run in 2024.
Real media companies are not concerned with trying to influence elections, their only concern is reporting the news. An insurrection is news worthy, criminal investigations into famous people are news worthy.
If MAGA Republican supporters are more keen to vote for a criminal president, then so be it. That is their choice and is not a concern of media companies.
If they truly believed that he would lose an election in 2024.. they should have let the people descied. These last few years of trying to nail him on one thing or another... proves that they know he's strong in the next election and they are scared.
Or perhaps the justice department and the intelligence agencies discovered Trump had illegally removed classified documents from office and taken them home, and perhaps he and his lawyers lied about it and refused to return them.
And perhaps the crime that Cohen went to prison for where he has co-conspirator "individual one" means that the "individual one" person should also be held accountable as noone is immune from the law, not even an ex president.

I'm all for credible allegations supported by evidence being investigated and charged and brought before the courts. I don't care who they bring them against. All are equal in the eyes of the law.

So far, that's not true.

When Biden "won" the election in 2020
Why the quotation marks? Do you know something the rest of us don't know?

the media should have let DT slip into the ether... not to be mentioned again, ever, until he announced a run in 2024.

That would have been two years of nothing.. If they really thought that the people didn't like him.. he would have slipped below the waterline and out of the lime light.
There was the little matter of inciting an insurrection, and the stolen classified documents.

But, nope... they have had DT as the front and center of many news headlines and attempt after attempt to pin something on him has left them with the proverbial egg on their faces.
To which proverb are you referring?

This will be no different.
Different from what?

He probably recognizes some facts ignored by the left . One fact is this was not the most secure election ever. There has been fraud since elections began. Proven fraud on both sides for many years.

And yet, Biden won the election by a huge margin, and none of Trump's fraud claims were proven true.

Yep that is what they said. The problem is you can’t believe much of anything the government tells you,
Especially true when Trump was part of the government.

Then maybe you should stop voting. "They" might inject a location tracking spy chip into your hand when you touch the machine.

I believe you mean "counter" as "cancelling" someone else's vote would be voter suppression. I doubt we live in the same state, so our votes couldn't "cancel".

No I meant cancel. The state matters not in a presidential election. I cannot prevent you from voting that would be suppression. I can make your presidential vote of non effect, that is canceling.
