Or the Republican party. Trump still has a shot at the Presidency again, in which we're all hosed if he wins, but just imagine the brighter timeline where Trump, the living embodiment of all the worst things about American culture, not just completely destroys himself but also makes the GOP unelectable for a generation. The GOP also being the representation of all the worst parts of US culture. Again, there's still a worst case scenario looming above us but if the Presidential election goes the same way every other election has gone for Republicans since 2020 the vindication will send the collective balls of all of humanity to the edge of the universe.

Haha nice, I registered to vote at the Warped Tour. I was there to see Bad Religion and The Offspring but left before either took the stage because everything was so expensive and corporate. Huge lovely lines to buy water at massively inflated prices. We left after a couple hours and went to smoke weed instead lol

That's what's pretty exciting! We could either end in doom or maybe a near total smashing victory. Or some more middling victory. Various types of victories possible, only one type of real doom.

He would have, and sooner.
He was starting to get felt up by the banks and whoever he owed money to, and going for presidency was one of the possible ways to delay or get out of it.
Even if he lost 2016 it would have made them back a short while so he can get the next con on.

But he won, and the greed dial turned itself upto 11, turning it into it happening today.
If he kept low, did gently caress all while as president, he would be untouchable.
But nope, has to tweet out every second what the brain worms are telling him.

And that'd probably also be another bunch of crimes Trump would be charged with; I'm no expert by any means, but I'm pretty sure that most business owners (or at least, those owning businesses above a certain size) can't just dip into the company's coffers and help themselves to money, without incurring a bunch of legal issues. Trump suddenly having $500 million to pay his legal bills off, with no visible accountability, and after an extended stay by people associated with the House of Saud, would get the feds on him even faster than even the classified documents did.

This is absolutely what he's going to do: do more crimes to pay for these existing crimes. He'll be his own ponzi

Maybe the least visible risks were of things not happening that, with better government, might have happened. A cure for cancer, for instance.

Like this thread way way overestimates how connected trump is to Putin. Putin plays politics and Trump was president so of course he played trump. But there isn’t some deep friendship there

unfortunately, yeah. I think the closest connection is that trungo likes Tucker Carlson, and Tucker recently had a bomb implanted in his skull, the detonator for which is an app on Putin's phone.

He could.
But these are the Trumps.
Don is $360 mill in a hole, and is increasing with the further lawsuits, and has nothing to leave them when he dies.
He could pay of the fine for him, but Don will just end up tweeting how he beat the fine within a day and incur more fines.
And then there will be questions on how did he get it.

I wouldn't be surprised that Jared and Ivanka are ghosting the rest of the family.
They got their poo poo squirreled away in the Middle East.

Depending on how leveraged the properties are that may not be possible. Like he claims to be the owner of his properties but in reality there may be so many liens that effectively it's owned by the lenders, in the same way legally most homeowners have the name on the deeds but they're three mortgage payments away from being homeless.

A bunch of golf courses, a former golf course reclassified as a cemetery to avoid liquidation, and poorly maintained buildings full of decrepit gilded poo poo in locations where the family is utterly despised? Not to mention bailing out the father-in-law who is always leering at your wife will just cause more questioning about your Saudi fun bucks. Doesn't seem worth it unless Ivanka is begging for the bail out and why would she?

Trump with his properties will be like Ric Flair with his old WCW Championship belt: trying to sell it to one person to get money to pay his legal obligations, when it's already being used as collateral for a loan from another person

A real hellraiser


How did Clinton do with black voters vs Biden? I've heard Biden's support with black voters is very strong because he served 8 years working for the first black president without undermining him and coming off as a loyal confidant. I kind of wonder if HRC possibly suffered the opposite and did worse because of how contentious the 2008 primary was, and bailing after the first term.

If someone was going to help trump pay the fine, it would be like selling some fractional piece of an llc with some portion of maralago. It would be a shell in a shell company and be opaque as hell. You all are thinking like non rich people. It might eve let Donnie say that maralago is worth 2 billion or whatever as that would be the assessed value. Now who might give him the money, and would this get caught with all the extra scrutiny, idk
