...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
, making him the first person in U.S. history to serve as commander in chief and then be charged with a crime, and setting the stage for a 2024 presidential contest unlike any other.
The indictment was sealed, which means the specific charge or charges are not publicly known. But the grand jury had been hearing evidence about money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, allegedly to keep her from saying she’d had a sexual encounter with Trump years earlier. Trump advisers were discussing a possible Tuesday surrender and court appearance, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
Trump, who is campaigning to return to the White House in 2024 and leading in most polls of Republican voters, is also the focus of criminal probes in Georgia and Washington, D.C., related to his efforts to overturn President Biden’s 2020 election victory and his handling of classified material at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida home and private club.
Those cases have raised serious questions about national security and the basic functions of democracy. The New York case, in contrast, stems from a hush-money scheme and Trump’s conduct before he became president. The charging decision comes after weeks of speculation about whether and when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
...Soros-financed, -owned, and -operated woke Manhattan DA. A prosecutorial loose cannon who feels entitled to pick and choose which laws to enforce and can't be bothered to respond civilly to Congressional inquiries unless they're from Dems...might take such a momentous step toward a courthouse showdown with one of the most combative politicians in modern American history.
Being charged with — or found guilty of — a crime does not disqualify Trump from running for office. Still, the indictment suggests a remarkable possibility: a soon-to-be-77-year-old running for president while simultaneously seeking to beat a conviction. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and says he did not have an affair with Daniels.
I genuinely fear for Trump's safety. These SOB's will stop at nothing.
