Donald Trump said he did not hand over government records to federal officials when asked because he was too busy to sift through the contents of the boxes.
The comments are an admission that he did not move to satisfy the federal government’s demands.
When you have to go against your boy, that’s a hard question to answer; I’ve never seen a man give up self-respect, honor, or dignity to make another man happy. What else will he do?
Which 4 Years Were Better… Trump or Biden? | Victor Davis Hanson…
Despite the incessant attacks from the establishment, Trump’s record is significantly better than Biden’s… Geopolitically, Economically, Regulatory, Socially, Security…
Less wars, less death, less illegals, way less inflation, less shortages, more energy, more cash in one’s pockets, more trade deals, more peace deals it isn’t even close… There’s no contest…
This current Administration is for the most part fighting 2 wars, while their own country is being invaded… And they don’t even have the backbone to enforce their own borders…
Never ever… Underestimate the short memory of leftist thinkers…

Will Trump Beat Biden? | Victor Davis Hanson…
Although I question if Joe Biden will be the 2024 Democratic Presidential nominee… The US middle class cannot afford four more years like this… America will not survive another four years under incompetent and destructive Democrat control…
It is not about the National polls is about the State polls… Electoral College is what elects the President…

Trump he Outsider… Will he be Able To Clean Up Biden’s Mess? | Victor Davis Hanson…
Being an outsider is quite possibly the main reason the DC political machine reacted the way they did to Trump’s Presidency… He wanted change… He wanted to do things that actually make sense…
What a perfect analogy of Pres. Trump, " The Gunslinger " The Western World and the American people need him in the Oval Office NOW…
You can’t call Donald Trump a Young Gun but he’s absolutely the best US Politician at cleaning house…
He was/is a threat to the bureaucracy… And the money being made from it… As George Carlin said,” It’s a big giant club… And you ain’t in it…”.

No One Wants To Live In Democrat States | Victor Davis Hanson…
The consistent issue with these people fleeing Democrat-run cities and states for Republican-run cities and states is that they do not leave the politics from which they are fleeing when they leave…
These idiots voted for the policies that ruined their original home, flee when it becomes too oppressive for them, but still vote for these failed policies in their new home…
You just want to ask these clowns why they would leave a place over dissatisfaction with conditions only to bring with them the ideology that created those oppressive surroundings…
Unfortunately like locust… They fly to the next field and vote the same way…
Congress aims to overhaul presidential ethics rules with a plan led by an unlikely pair of lawmakers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bipartisan legislation introduced in the House on Wednesday would require presidents and vice presidents to publicly disclose tax returns before, during and after their time in the White House as Congress makes an election-year push to curb foreign influence in American politics.
The proposal, led by the unusual pairing of Republican Rep. James Comer and progressive Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, is the latest effort to bolster congressional oversight of presidential ethics as both parties grapple with congressional investigations into their leading candidates for the White House.
“We both agreed that this was going to be a bill about the future and about restoring trust in government,” Porter told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “It’s not a bill about any past president.”
Democrats on Tuesday introduced rival legislation that would enforce the Constitution’s ban on emoluments, which prohibits a president from accepting foreign gifts and money without the permission of Congress. Proponents of that proposal say Republican Donald Trumpbrazenly ignored the clause while president as foreign government officials flocked to his various hotels and properties.
The release of the dueling bills suggests bipartisan appetite in Congress for revising presidential ethics rules. But those proposals are intertwined with fiercely partisan fights about the conduct of Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden, and it remains to be seen whether any bill can make it through the House, let alone become law.
The White House said in a statement Wednesday that Biden has already complied with many of the provisions laid out in the legislation and “made clear his commitment to upholding strong ethical standards.”
The proposal from Comer, R-Ky., and Porter, D-Calif., is focused on greater transparency and requires the disclosure of foreign payments, gifts and loans made to officials’ immediate family members. Presidents and vice presidents would be required to disclose when immediate family members accompany them on official travel and specify when they do so for official business purposes. The provisions are a direct response to concerns surrounding the business dealings of Trump’s children and Biden’s son.
Pretty much his history since the 70’s but he still will be president
Trump verdict live updates: Trump found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, becoming the first U.S. president to be convicted of criminal charges
Donald Trump was convicted of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 presidential campaign Thursday in a historic trial that saw a former U.S. president face criminal charges for the first time.
After deliberating over two days, a New York jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The prosecution had alleged Daniels was paid to keep secret a 2006 tryst she had with Trump in order to influence the results of the 2016 election, which Trump ultimately won.
Trump’s sentencing has been scheduled for July 11.
The trial lasted a month and a half and was plenty eventful. In addition to the fiery testimonies of Daniels and Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, Trump was held in contempt of court 10 times and fined $10,000 for violating a gag order against attacking people involved with the trial. Many Republican leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, traveled to New York to speak out in support of the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
Trump, who did not testify in his defense, is likely to appeal the verdict. The result may have an impact on Trump’s chances to reclaim the White House, however. Recent Yahoo News/YouGov polling suggested a conviction would hurt Trump in head-to-head polling against President Joe Biden.
Curtin University Dean of Global Futures Joe Siracusa says former US President Donald Trump being charged with 34 counts of falsifying business documents is going to have “enormous consequences”…
People are enraged in America… 45% of the US population that don’t normally vote see this as a setup, a miscarriage of justice… Trump is now a martyr to millions in the United States… His donation site has crashed and his support will skyrocket…
“Americans aren’t as stupid as they look some times… They can see right through this, everyone knows that this is not quite right… Now it’s not exactly a a a two-hour special on television they can see that they’ve been going after Trump… Manufacturing the evidence…”
“People have been elected to office based on how they were going to get Trump… And look I have very, very deep feelings about the State going after an individual…”
“When an entire State apparatus can go after one person and to target him with these kinds of charges is absurd… it really suggests to people that America has reached a dangerous spot…”
“Trump is now technically an outlaw… But you know so was Willie Nelson… He’s not worried…”
Polls for Trump will rise as intelligent American’s see the Lawfare involved. … You got to love how they turned a 7 year old misdemeanour in to a felony…
Biden stopped by Hallie’s home around 8 p.m. for a brief private talk eight days before the 54-year-old first son’s trial is scheduled to stand trial beginning June 3.
Hallie dated Hunter at the time of his alleged gun crimes and is one of a dozen expected witnesses.
Doocy Asks KJP Point Blank About POTUS Visiting Hallie Biden Days Before Testimony In Hunter Trial
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asks Karine Jean-Pierre about President Biden’s visit to Hallie Biden days before her testimony in Hunter Biden’s testimony.
A guilty felony conviction doesn’t prevent Trump from running for president. Under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, there are only three qualifications that need to be met for the office of the presidency: The person must be at least 35 years old, be a natural-born citizen and have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years.
It would be a different story if Trump were charged with crimes of an insurrection under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment; such an offense would disqualify him from holding public office if found guilty.
Its even arguable whether Trump’s court cases hurt or help him. I think Trendswithbenefits is correct that bad court cases actually help Trump, because they highlight existing political corruption and Trump’s flaws pale in comparison to the rot in the system.
Regardless of how anyone feels about Trump, lawfare is bad for the country.
The Democrats could use this situation as a Get out of Debate Free card if they believe Joe Biden isn’t capable of debating a now Felon… Donald J Trump…
“Political corruption and Trump’s flaws pale in comparison to the rot in the system…”
Joe Biden… Although more likely the Secret Service are now so emblazoned with recent fortunate legal events… They fear no consequences from manipulating/intimidating witnesses in broad daylight to Hunter Biden’s federal trial for alleged gun crimes…
Hamas leadership should accept these terms, really not a bad deal, after all, the innocent have been paying a heavy price for what Hamas started, it’s time to end this conflict.
Biden presents new Israel ceasefire plan, calls on Hamas to accept
Talks mediated by Egypt, Qatar and others to arrange a ceasefire between Israel and the militant Hamas movement in the Gaza war have repeatedly stalled, with both sides blaming the other for the lack of progress.
The new proposal Biden laid out on Friday is made up of three phases; the first would be a ceasefire lasting for six weeks.
During this time, Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza and hostages, including the elderly and women, would be exchanged for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Palestinian civilians would return to Gaza, including northern Gaza, and 600 trucks would bring humanitarian aid into Gaza each day, Biden said.
In the second phase, Hamas and Israel would negotiate terms of a permanent end to hostilities. “The ceasefire will still continue as long as negotiations continue,” the president said.
The third phase would include a major reconstruction plan for Gaza.
The proposal has been relayed to Hamas by Qatar, Biden said.
The president called on those in Israel who were pushing for “indefinite” war to change their minds.
Dunno mate - I was married to one for a good few years !
The thing is tho’ it’s more “religious” than logical - Talk to any of our religious members - they are logical and reasonaable people - but on the topic of “Religion” they just are “religious” - nice clever people - good traders - but jeez when the issue of “god” comes up - logic just fies out of the window !
We just have to accept that if we want to talk to them !
How tho’ we can apply that same strategy to dumb voters ? I just can’t answer that !
Pres Trump - did not allow men paying maintenance / Child support to claim tax relief on these payments ! - Clearly inequitable and I Would have voted against him ! - even tho’ I am a true believer - iffn he cannot give that little comfort to those who believe in him - he doesn’t deserve to be voted in !
And yes I know it wasn’t important to him - just a “Detail” in a random bill - Buy Hell he should have made damn sure he WAS aware !
To win the damn election he just has to apologise and say he will make that error good !
