The motion also included new details on how Trump's relationship with Pence deteriorated, with the former vice-president telling Trump to stop repeating false election fraud theories and move on. 

The documents released on Friday include transcripts of interviews with the 6 January House committee that investigated the US Capitol riot, parts of Pence’s autobiography and fundraising emails sent to voters. 

It is unclear if the 6 January case will ever go to trial. Trump is expected to end the prosecution if he returns to the White House.

He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment.

well dipshit it wouldn't have been released before the election if you didn't stall and contest literally everything in this case. this is quite literally your own damn fault.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

And we knew this was going to come out about now at the beginning of the year. I saw so many experts calling out that the delay measures would put shit like this right at the lead up to the election. Granted they expected trial or deposition stuff, but still, delaying it made a self-own October surprise inevitable.

Any information harmful to me must not be released before the election or it's interference

Any information harmful to my opponents must be released before the election or it's interference

He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment [in his election interference case].

We are 8 years into this and the media still constantly tries to downplay what this shithead tried to do to the American people in his neverending quest of greed and narcissism.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Yet he is looking at 50% of the votes. "The people deserve the shithead they elect".

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

hes never won the popular vote. hes gamed the electoral college which was designed to give those backwoods, propaganda-driven zombies outsized power.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Let it be 45%... What the fuck is wrong with a huge amount of muricans? Completely brain dead it seems...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

only 60% of people who can vote, do. and he got 45% of that.

that is why everyone is yelling 'vote!' from the rooftops.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I know, but that doesn't change the fact that there's a significant amount of people missing a brain... Not that I can do anything about it. And it's not that europe is way better in this regard with the rise of right-wing-populism (but Trump is just idiocracy level).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

a huge part is the passive propaganda machine in the southern united states. its fox news, 24/7 everywhere you go. every waiting room. every bar. for many this is their sole 'news' outlet.

you repeat a lie enough to a person, they will accept it as fact. these people readily admit, 'there are 5 lights!'

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Seemingly, it's sad. I just cannot fathom this, to me when someone is repeating lies I just declare him idiot. What I find concerning is the level, i.e. they don't accept logic facts and seemingly once that downward-spiral occured they cannot get out of their screwed conception of the world. I begin to "understand" why Nazis back then had success with what they did...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

It's because you care more about the truth than being accepted as part of the group. Humans are wired to value being accepted, generally, so most people fall for the idea that consensus is a fact-based exercise.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Bad excuse. Today, Harris 48%, Trunk 46%. That is only a ffing 2% difference.

The USA deserves the shithead they elect.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

Polls mean nothing

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago

At lest 50% of the people are not going to vote for him regardless of what the electoral college ends up deciding.

The people don't deserve what the Constitution mandates and they have no way of changing. The incredibly popular Equal Rights Amendment never passed. It had massive public support. Politicians didn't give a shit because most of them were men. And still are.

As you say this, millions of tweens attempt to film themselves partaking in the latest tiktok challenge in hopes of going viral and starting their career as a streamer.

if he gets the whitehouse then i hope dems get the house.

Using your office to kill an investigation into yourself has got to be an impeachable offence.

3 times impeached president donald j trump.

plenty of time will be left left in his tenure for a 4th too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

No way with this supreme court. They already gave blanket immunity for anything done as president, which is absolutely insane and should have people rioting

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

While I wholeheartedly agree, if it's up to 3 impeachments and still no consequences, then impeachment becomes nothing more than a mark on a dude covered in spots.

Something needs to actually happen for it to be of any sort of threat 🫤

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

even if there are no real consequences at least he can go down in history with a thouroughly stained record

Motherfucker could invent time travel and cure aids and his tennis would still be a stain on history

Gerrymandering makes a Democratic house majority increasingly less likely every election season.

If he hadn't been fighting tooth and nail we could have had the trial over 2 years ago...
