Just reflecting, I'm simply floored at how much of Trump's legal pains are self-inflicted.
Point in case, the current E. Jean Carroll damages lawsuit would likely never have happened if Trump just shut up and accepted the previous settlement for $5,000,000.00 last May in 2023. I think it was May. This is a civil lawsuit, and the verdict is already decided by stare decisis with only damages to be decided by jury. Trump is acting like a baby throwing food off his highchair and the jury will crucify him. Also, Alina Habba is no help since she doesn't know how to try a case in federal court and is not "faking" smart as she recently said she could do in an interview. The whole business is like watching "Karen" videos on YouTube.

In a way its saddening. You shouldn't encourage the sick in his delusion, but that's exactly what the mob has done with Trump. It reinforced his delusions of grandeur, which in turn increased his appeal to the mob, which further reinforced him, making him even more delusional and godlike in his perception. Its a runaway-train, and there is no rescue anymore. Many will sooner or later either suffer a mental crash landing that will shake them to their existential bones, or will make them turning ever more sectarian and fanatical in a bid to avoid the first. Which means it raises the stakes, making these people ever more uncompromising and dangerous. Really, its a psychological runaway train. And a lesson in pendulum physics. We have seen decades of leftist extremism ideologically haunting the West and seriously damaging it and turning into state reason. Wokism and political correctness is the hate on the West from ultraliberal roots inside the West, it is self-hate that eats up country and culture form inside, and that takes place throuhout Europe, and the US as well. Trump is not the cause of all this, his rise and triumph is a symptom of a deeply sick society. Both indicate the degeneration of a falling civilization, an eroding culture.

The best defense is a good "offense" taken literally. I'm sure President Trump has a bit of PTSD he's been under constant barrage for so long with some really stupid made up crap.
I wouldn't touch that chick so..... Same thing with the chick with the baby voice.... ...and I'm a slut.

Afraid so, but I do have standards. Those two are below them. AOC is kinda hot though, especially when dancing on that rooftop.

SCOTUS hearing over the 14th Amendment Section 3 issue for Trump is scheduled for February 8th.
Here is a new brief filed by Trump. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketP...e%20Merits.pdf The arguments are the same position that Trump is not an Officer while holding the Office of the President, Trump was not part of the J6 insurrection, riot, peaceful school field trip, whatever, and that he didn't take an oath to support the Constitution even though he took an oath to "preserve, protect, and defend" it. Now we wait for the opposing brief.

Trump mocks Nikki Haley's first name. It's his latest example of attacking rivals based on race

Suppose you are a Trump and you want to keep taxes low for the very rich. In a democracy, this is rather difficult, because the very rich are by definition a minuscule minority of the population. So how do you still get large parts of the electorate behind you, even if it is not in their economic interest to vote for you? The trick is to pit people against each other along nationalistic, cultural and racial lines. With this plutocratic variant of identity politics, the rich have managed to forge a coalition with middle- and working-class Americans, who have had it up to no end with centre-left politicians. The culture war as opium for the people.

A psychological question.
I'm in a debate with a FB friend who is sceptical that Trump should have an IQ around 140. His argument is that Trump is mental and psychological unstable. Can a person be mental and psychological unstable and still have a high IQ ? Markus

[QUOTE=Gorpet;2899964]LOL, If you were to give all our politicians and yours a IQ test. We would find we have the same people who were popular in our high school years.With only popularity and family wealth,Then went to college on the taxpayers dime. Are now dressed up and pretending they have an IQ just above a tomato.And these young socialist,fascist, are very smart cause Benito had an IQ over Adolf and in the end.Their IQ's didn't matter. And so it will be in our forthcoming future.The end of our current Elite's and their vision of world domination will take a while.
