We know that Trump will exit the courtroom every day to find a phalanx of reporters waiting to transcribe his every utterance. The country would be well served if, for once, the elite political press restrained themselves and didn't show up. I know it's likely far too much to ask, but imagine his reaction if he were to emerge and find nobody waiting, no cameras, no nothing. It might just save democracy.
Absolutely could not agree with you more on this!! I understand Biden’s team not wanting to take the bait, but allowing only one narrative is detrimental to the truth and democracy.
I’m wondering who decided Biden’s team completely overlaps the Democratic Party. Sure, TFG has swallowed the RNC whole. But that’s not true for the other party.
Keeping Biden and his campaign out of the fray is a good idea. But the rest of the party should be pushing the history of this case on the daily.
Nazi Stephen Miller and fatso sleezy creep Steve Bannon should be in JAIL as they are a huge part of this plan...makes me sick...Dems are so effing quiet
I also think it’s not as much that the Democrats are quiet as it is that the media loves all of the shock and awe they get from tRump… sells more papers. Reasonable responses are not as exciting as the insightful gobbledygook that he spews. I blame the media for capitalizing on his insanity… Instead of real journalism.
Trump has made a career off of cheating in taxes, business, not paying vendors and workers, avoiding settling lawsuits but eager to sue others, lying, discriminating against black tenants, and of course, avoiding the law. To think this is the best the GOP can come up with is beyond understanding and logic.
This is why the trials must be televised! I agree the President must stay away from the trial. It only gives trump something to point at to substantiate his claims.
We just need Democrat surrogates out there day after day countering trump’s lies.
Excellent time line on the FACTS in this case. It will be interesting to watch the trial as it hopefully will move on to a conviction and finally sentencing of this criminal ex-president, and the worst one in our nations entire history!
I'm not sure I realized that DOJ had been involved in this, but what is happening now is totally the state of NY - both the indictment and the trial - and totally out of the purview of Joe Biden, That, to me, is a point that should be emphasized by the Dems.
If Biden himself wants to "stay out of it" all he really has to do is keep pointing out that neither he nor DOJ has anything to do with this case.
Democrats in CONGRESS can address the lies more fully. As well they should. Possibly his campaign as well, or parts of it. For example the DNC or any number of Democratic media could post ads pointing out the idiocy of the "weaponizing" argument. All Biden has to say is that he approves this message.
And the CORRUPT lame-stream media will echo his statements every time he opens his mouth, after of course cleaning up his gibberish to make it sound reasonable.
It’s ok for Biden to call out fascism and threats trump made to judges etc. Biden should show appropriate anger at such an existential threat like trump.
Even without including his nazi hero worship, malignant narcissist psychology says it's highly predictable that if hitler did something, it almost guarantees trump will try it too, or already has.
Some folks say that we must vote him out and yes that is a must, but the DOJ must convict and incarcerated him as well after the election. I just want the DOJ to do its’ job.
We should never have been put in a situation to vote him out. He is technically ineligible. We just refuse to follow established law. A deadly insurrectionist and convicted rapist should be in prison not on a presidential ticket! This is what happens when we repeatedly refuse to hold criminals accountable because they are in the highest positions. They should be the most exemplary people to obey all laws, not shielded from committing the highest level of crimes! Dems should have poured into the streets after Al Gore was removed from his rightful place as our elected president, winning popular and electoral votes!
@ seeking reason That election was a turning point, followed by 9/11 when so many gleefully abandoned the constitution and the law to “ protect “ us. And now we have seen how little the law means when we have a leader who simply ignores any norms that have been followed. Maybe he will be brought to Justice but I have many doubts. Money is law and violence can be used to enforce that law. Will we pull out of this downward spiral with the November election? Only if the MAGA cult suffers an historic defeat, which is then followed with massive prosecutions of the high and the mighty. The DOJ is afraid to do that.
No disagreement here. There was a fear of how it would look to the international world if we admitted our president was corrupt. And yet that very action brought in a giant opening for Fascism. As if this looks great to the international community. 🙄 Those of us who are sane will suffer for the reputation of shocking stupidity in terms of letting criminals in Congress and on the ballot. And allowing an endless multitude of children to be shot and our unbelievably frosty cold reluctance to change despite this.
Dean I heard this live when you were discussing it on your show but you gave more detail there of the facts. I’d like to have those handy. Can you go through it again here or attach a clip of your show?
I REALIZE THAT THIS WILL BE frowned upon, but one difference between these two is that Hitler actually believed what he said and started with the labor unions (well, Republicans do that too, I guessw). Also, many scholars of the time (keynes, for only one example) predicted what the treaty would cause. With Trump, reality is a manufactured "alternate-reality)".
Yes Mr. AbsurdTimes your statement SHOULD be decarded and frowned upon; you DO know that BOTH hitler & trump are insanely stupid believers in their own manufactured faux brilliance, in short they were/are insane.

Exactly . I agree, media should b ashamed to b there recording all his b.s.

I guess that’s our job. 🤔😉😊

Kathleen, 🎯
You are correct. Those no good for nothing bums are attempting to burn down the house!!
Trump has made a career off of cheating in taxes, business, not paying vendors and workers, avoiding settling lawsuits but eager to sue others, lying, discriminating against black tenants, and of course, avoiding the law. To think this is the best the GOP can come up with is beyond understanding and logic.
Damn you Merrick Garland!!!
He definitely bears culpability in the mess! 3 years of NOTHNG!
This is why the trials must be televised! I agree the President must stay away from the trial. It only gives trump something to point at to substantiate his claims.

Biden needs to stay above the fray but the rest of the party can do plenty to change the narrative.

For the American people and the British, we NEED Joe Biden to win, we NEED trump in prison for the rest of his sorry Life. Then we can Relax.

As Kellyanne said Alternative Facts…🙄
