I believe Trump believes that he is above the law

and many of his followers also believe that

it's not that they think he's really innocent of the crimes he's been charged with

it's that they don't really care if he's innocent or not

even if he's guilty he's still their man

one man - viewed by many to be ABOVE THE LAW__________________truly incredible

it's a once in a lifetime thing

Political persecution.

It has nothing to do with crime.

They know he’s a criminal.

They just feel he’s their best (only?) chance at regaining power so they ignore his crimes.

If folks really believed the fake criminal news, then Trump wouldn't be ahead in the recent polls.

"Target will close nine store in four states, including one in East Harlem, New York and three in the San Francisco Bay Area, saying that theft and organized retail crime have threatened the safety of its workers and customers. The closings, which will be effective Oct. 21, also include three stores in Portland, Oregon, and two in Seattle...Target described the decision as "difficult." "We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all," Target said in a statement on Tuesday."

That would be true in a free market. It is not a free market once the government enacts union friendly laws.


What laws would those be? I'm not opposed to collective bargaining, as a rule; I'm opposed to most unions, individually. Depends on the Union and whether or not it's just a grift.

If you don't believe the N.Y. fraud case is legally valid, then you're either mistaken or deliberately lying. Of course, it's not a criminal case.

That's most people on the right though. You're not an idiot, but most people on the right are either idiots, or they are dishonest about stuff like that. Of course Trump is a swindler, criminal, liar, fraudster, possibly rapist and probably thinks of Ivanka whilst banging whoever he's banging at that moment, but even all of that doesn't mean that they're not unfairly going after him for certain things. Unfairly in the sense of they wouldn't go after most other people for the same.

So, just call it what it is---he's a p.o.s., but you prefer him to the alternative. It's fine. I don't deny climate change; I simply don't gaf about the environment.

Why do you think he's ahead in the polls?

He's a living martyr in the eyes of some. Honestly, it would make the most sense just to have someone from Secret Service take him out flagrantly. It's true that he would be an actual martyr then, but the Democrats wouldn't care and most Trumpanzees wouldn't do anything about it and don't like any of the alternatives anyway. There would probably be a few of them that lose their shizz and commit some random killings. Collateral damage. Totally worth it if it means the Feds kill Trump, imo.

Still much prefer he die of natural causes.

You believe the poll numbers are fudged?
