    Foreign countries literally spend billions on lobbying to have an opportunity to even be in the same room as policy makers. The idea that China wouldn't have paid millions to attempt to influence usa shows how utterly naive you are.

    China literally fast tracked and approved over 17 trademarks for ivanka during the same talk trump was talking to Xi about a possible trade deal. ( https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ivanka-trump-receives-5-trademarks-from-china-amid-trade-talks/ )

    Did I accuse ivanka or trump of corruption? this is what china does. Their entire belt and road initiative was to influence poltiics even though the program has a huge negative ROI. I blame China and our crappy lobbying laws.

    Your entire legal argument for why biden is guilty relies upon hunter biden telling his associates the truth which is hilarious. Any defense lawyer would rip hunter apart for being a druggie who's a sex addict.

    Joe biden doesn't even drink alcohol and would pass a drug test by flying colors. You put his rep against hunter of being a druggie and if you think any jury wouldn't trust Joe than you're genuinely mentally gone.

    You will never win this debate with me and nor will @Os Trigonum @basso . I've spent time researching this.and am aware of the real facts instead of yalls conspiracies.

    Hunter lost his pathway unfortunately long time ago and needs God.

    Just to add, Twitter Community Notes do a pretty good job of engaging with and correcting trolls, misinformation, and other similar issues. If that's something important to you in this age of social media influencing people's thoughts and minds, I believe your return on investment (ROI) would be higher by engaging with the "trollish" or misinformed community on Twitter through Community Notes.

    in addition to the 17 trademarks for Ivanka, don't forget that China also fast track the approval for Trump's escort services in China

    So..............now that he is officially indicted, I have a few predictions.

    • trumps team will fight everything they can to delay this as long as possible
    • they will lose 95% of their claims
    • the goal is to push this back past the elections
    • if the gop wins, GOD forbid its trump, they will stop the case against trump (can they do that?) or simply pardon him before he goes to trial
    • trump will never see the inside of a jail cell
    • he will end up skating through this with his beloved maga cult
    I think on the face of the indictment its a very open and shut case but the trump team will play this out and extend, extend, extend. If it does go to trial I would not be shocked if a maga supporter got on the jury by masquerading as a partisan citizen and will save the king

    I am happy this is happening, but trump is so slimy I am not sure if justice has enough time to see this through before next year's election. I hope I am 100% WRONG and the gop will come to their senses, but we have seen time and time again, they are not for the american people, they want power and nothing else. I need a friggin drink

    https://www.aol.com/news/john-bolton-trump-indictment-devastating-131129949.html

    Trump's ormer national security adviser John Bolton said the federal charges brought against former President Trump last week are “devastating,”
    adding the indictment should result in the end of Trump’s political career.

    [​IMG]
    “This is a devastating indictment,” Bolton, who served under Trump, said Monday on CNN. “I speak here as an alumnus of the Justice Department myself, because not only is it powerful, it’s very narrowly tailored.
    They didn’t throw everything up against the wall to see what would stick that this really is a rifle shot. And I think it’s, it should be the end of Donald Trump’s political career.”

    Bolton said Trump may have taken the documents because he “may have just thought were cool.” He said he would have to see what was in the documents to answer the question of why Trump may have taken them.

    Bolton on Friday also called on Trump to end his campaign for a second White House term, saying if the former president wanted what was best for the country, he would step aside.
    “Donald Trump should immediately withdraw as a candidate for president,” Bolton tweeted. “Criminal charges are piling up around him. If Trump truly stood for America First policies,
    he would support the rule of law instead of continually flouting it. Withdraw now!”​

    Nah, he only has to push it into next April. The Republican primaries are stacked early and 21 have gone to a winner takes all format since 2016. By the end of March, all states will have chosen their candidate except OR, ID, MT, NE, SD, ND, NM, WI, IN, IA, KY, CT, MD, DC, and NJ. (There are also a couple who have yet to set dates.) You need 1,234 delegates (out of 2,467) to win the GOP nomination and over 60% of them will be awarded by April 1. Just taking the winner takes all states, Trump ends up with 1,228. As things stand now, he will either be the presumptive or actual nominee by April.

    The funniest thing is Cubans are the highest demographic of ACA subsidies in Florida since 2021. They're mostly small business owners and have benefitted more than anyone else. Florida is only behind Texas in aca sign-ups.

    Dumbass Cubans voting agsisnt their own interest because of a cult leader. These clowns still worship Fidel but don't admit it. Idiots

    Trump is NOT corrupt.

    That label belongs to DeSantis, who is a minor league Trump wannabe.

    You just insulted a whole group of freedom loving, hardworking people who contributed mightily to America. Ricky Ricardo faints. Good job Joey B lover.

    It's a FACT that Cubans in Florida have the highest aca sign-ups. They're mostly business owners and now under new aca your insurance is capped at your income. Millions of people have access to affordable insurance and the morons will vote agaisnt it.

    Dumb as dirt you right wingers

    I’m not on Twitter and don’t have the time or inclination to join. I do use FB and will engage in there sometime politically.

    I still try to do a lot of work off of social media by donating and campaigning for candidates and causes I support.

    Yea, just throwing that out there.

    I’m on both but I’m not an active user. That’s an understatement. The last time I used fb was probably a year ago. I use Twitter almost daily but only read from a handful of folks. I have zero tweet lol.
