The Trump Arrest Thread!

Trump fits the definition of an Anti Christ.

Maybe we're closer to the promised second coming of Jesus.

Trump fits the definition of an Anti Christ.

Because calling him Hitler is passe, I guess.

The Bible describes anti-Christs as being ostensible Christian prophets that “denieth the Father and the Son,” and “who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.” (I John, chapters 2 and 4, II John 1) It would take quite a stretch to make Trump fit that description.

That being said, what most people mean when they speak of “antichrist” is closer to the one the Bible calls the “man of lawlessness” (II Thessalonians, chptr 2). I guess Trump could be that guy. It would be ironic, given that no one can find any laws he’s actually broken. .

Guess we find out in a year or two when all current cases are wrapped up in the courts.

Now there's a mystery child

The highly anticipated indictment against Donald Trump can be revealed today along with a bombshell 13 page statement that lays bare how he is said to have falsified business records in 2017 to cover up hush money payments to squash three scandals the first time he ran for president.

Trump has been charged with 34, Class E felony counts of falsifying business records by allegedly misclassifying payments to his attorney, Michael Cohen, as being for legal services when they were in fact reimbursements for hush money bills.

The statement of facts also describes his 'catch and kill' scheme with former National Enquirer owner David Pecker, whereby his team of journalists and editors bought up unflattering stories about Trump to stop other outlets publishing them, before the 2016 election.

Three payments are described;  the $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, another of $150,000 to a second woman believed to be Karen McDougal, and $30,000 to a Trump Tower doorman who said he wanted to go public with a story claiming he had a love child.

I haven't read the indictment yet but is this a fair assessment?

    Alvin Bragg was able to elevate the 34 counts to the level of a felony by saying they were to “conceal another crime” but didn’t include the crime he claims was being covered up in the indictment because “the law does not so require”

And I thought the only thing they had in common was that they pretend to be fighting Nazis.

[gunsmith]

 I will vote for him, nothing in this or any trial can change that- the economy and scotus /nysrpa bruen/dobbs  sealed the deal for me.   I hope that if he does have some secret kid, that they have a good relationship .
 
 I saw that any R that showed up was screeched at plus I was at work so didn't follow the circus .
No one at my job, populated by 95% blue collar, pays attention but 99.9% of everyone there is pro trump now.
 The Spanish speakers are now 100% for Trump tho.

However, I am planning on switching from registered R to Libertarian
  NV Republicans are always yearning for acceptance by the liberals, never have any spine, I am done with them and will only vote for one if I am sure they won't back stab on gun issues

Welcome to the dark side.

National Uniparty reps will also stab you in the back though, so keep an eye peeled.

Would that be the Anti-Christ or simple the Anti-Paul?

Some are saying Melania has been MIA lately and that she's POed at Donald over this supposed lovechild.

[cordex]

Trump fits the definition of an Anti Christ.

I just can't tell if you're being serious anymore.

Maybe we're closer to the promised second coming of Jesus.

No, I don't think Obama is running in 2024.

On the one hand, obviously, but on the other ... surely she knew what kind of dirtbag she was marrying.  I can't imagine her being particularly shocked about that goober being unfaithful.

That thought did come to me but everyone has their breaking point.
Could be actually nothing though with the MSM making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe she just wants to sit this one out of the limelight for her own sanity.

[WLJ]

Of course if she does leave him what does that do to his presidential chances? Hurt, help, meh?

Is my sarcasm meter broken?  That statement sounds like it should be sarcasm.

If Trump was an antichrist, he would be a lot more popular, especially with abortionist, child grooming set.

Trump is charismatic ahole troll, and that is about it.

From recollection, it seemed like she tried to stay out of the limelight as much as she could while Trump was president. Smart woman. I wish more recent first ladies were like her, instead of pulling the "we are the president" schtick.

First ladies belong in the White House kitchen. First "gentlemen", when we get our first one, should only be mowing the White House lawn and taking out the garbage.

Why should there ever be a first one?

From what I heard on the TV this morning, there is no list or mention of whatever the statutes are that he supposedly violated.

It is my understanding that she lost in court over the whole deal prior to that so all that would have done is got her into more trouble. 


Was there ever any proof that he actually slept with that woman?  All I ever heard is he paid a hush money settlement for her to go away and everyone seems to assumes the worst of whatever the rumor mill says about Trump.

Remember Hillary basically acting like it was she who was elected from day one while Bill was busy picking out interns. It only got worse in term 2.
