The political discord in both Taiwan and US make it increasingly likely. Any significant economic event could tip the scales. But we are getting closer and closer. October and April seem to be the best months for weather concerns.

so, is Trump blocked from running for election?

This was nothing but a witch hunt.

Bill and Hillary stole money from everyone, even from the Haitians, and they got off scot-free

I don't see him blocked from running, but I have been wondering about installing metal barred doors on the Oval Office? Can you see home confinement in the White House? I doubt it will come to that. It is unlikely Trump will get many non MAGA votes as a convict. I am wondering if the Republicans would really nominate him with the conviction, or if Trump might nominate someone to replace him if they intend to pardon any federal crimes. He might release his convention delegates to vote for an alternate candidate of his choosing with a deal offered in exchange. Haven't come up with an appropriate deal yet.

Trump has for a long time believed no one will hold him accountable for crimes; He has committed criminal acts freely. We have already seen trials for Trump University, his corporation, EJ Carol, and a half dozen members of his administration acting for Trump's benefit at his direction. Do you really not believe him responsible for stealing government documents, arranging fake electors, the Georgia RICO or the insurrection? I anticipate that when his pet judges eventually can't delay the remaining trials any further, future Trump trials will go the way the previous ones already have. If he can no longer be elected, the delays will eventually become irrelevant.

Not a witch hunt. You might believe it was after watching conservative 'news'. In the Fox v Dominion lawsuit, Murdoch admitted they broadcast not what they believed was true, but what they thought their audience wants to hear, which was what would get them the largest audience share. It was not about Red or Blue but green. Recently, watching the main stream news about the trial, the judge was sold as admirable, the jury dedicated, the prosecution's case through, Stormy and Cohen believable. The conservative press, Trump and Trump's wannabe veep picks reported it very much different. It was Biden's revenge based on imaginary facts. The conservative media just wants the money and market share, while the Republican politicians want the votes dedicated to Trump. The country is divided, and much of the blame goes on those telling the people what they want to hear.

I have been saying that after the peak of recent American crises, the conservative world view collapses. This was most blatant with the Revolution, Civil War and WW II. It's about due again. This domestic crisis should peak between the recent verdict and election day. Everyone might want to get ready for it.

(PS. My spell checker program wanted to correct the above, saying the recent crisis might end on erection day.)

The real story which the MSM newspapers will not publish is the extent to which this judge has aided and abetted the Prosecutor in this entirely phoney prosecution from even before the trial started, not as this piece makes clear, that Trump and his lawyers have helped their own case:

Here laid out in two pieces and in some detail is how Merchan has been tipping the scales:
1) https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/05/ ... ilty-plea/
2) https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/05/ ... -evidence/

Andrew McCarthy, it should be noted was for twenty years the Federal Prosecutor for New York and for ten of those years was the supervisor of that office.

When it comes to coverage of US politics, the MSM is no more objective and unbiased than liberal The New York Times or the ultra far-Left BBC.

An absolute with hunt.

America has collapsed.

The thing is, is that it is all so obvious. It is truly pathetic how many normals fell for all this stupid liberalism, how they so easily disregarded their inheritance, and attacked those that tried to warn them.

I suppose at least a great experiment has been tried, and we can say with finality, that there are VERY GOOD REASONS hidden in tradition to reject mass movements like democracy and feminism, or to ever regard the mob en masse as a worthy self-determining entity. Or anything apart from sacks of potatoes requiring movement from one wagon to another.

Well stated.

Liberalism helped make the world what it is today. We have much to thank for it. But it was hijacked and has become destructive, obviously. Change and adaptation are what humans do best. Too much and too fast obviously don't work well on a whole societal level. We forget the lessons of the past and then get to relearn them. That's what tradition and history teach us. Liberalism will take the back seat as people try to find their place in this brave new world. People's basic brains need a firm place to base their perceptions. Not a psychopathic over-emotional and irrational group thinking cult -like following. It doesn't work for cults or culture. But we a Clash of Civilizations and it's like 2 galaxies spinning into each other. There's good reason to think there won't be much leftover after the history making destruction runs it's course. Wiping the slate clean is a regular feature of this world. Perhaps there's a witness who's ready to try again this failed iteration. Maybe some will be leftover to try again and do better.

I agree with Navigator in that ALL of the political criminals need to be judged equally. There's something very fishy about this whole situation. I don't trust Trump or Biden or and maybe that's some feature by a malevolent party. Diminishing the public power by causing deep divisions is helpful for nefarious actors. Pick your choice of Boogeyman nut there's lots and we're stuck squabbling as the walls are getting stormed by barbarians and we're ruled over by men wearing makeup.

Anyone who really thinks that Trump would have been charged with these "crimes" if he were not the republican nominee is a very dim bulb, to say the least. "Not politically motivated," my big hairy ass.
