Trump heads to the witness stand as new polls show him leaping past Biden in key swing states
A year away from Election Day 2024, former President Donald Trump is set to testify in a civil fraud trial and separately faces more than 90 criminal charges, setting up the possibility that a convicted felon tops the Republican ticket next November.
A year away from Election Day 2024, former President Donald Trump is set to testify in a civil fraud trial and separately faces more than 90 criminal charges, setting up the possibility that a convicted felon tops the Republican ticket next November.
But it’s President Joe Biden’s political prospects that are plunging.
In another extraordinary twist to a 2024 campaign season that is more notable for court hearings than treks through early voting states, Trump is expected to be called to the witness stand in New York on Monday. This is hardly typical activity during a post-presidency. But Trump was, after all, the most unconventional president.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is the embarrassment that is America now. We will probably never recover from this.
In my outsider opinion you have one more chance. This is it. If you can repel Fascism this time it will get easier next time. If you don't, I fear for us all.
Unfortunately, nobody is an outsider anymore.
Wish i could do some laughing and mocking besides all the crying but with afd(german far right/fascists largely) on the rise and the conservatives moving a step into their direction every other week there is really no energy left to laugh at anything.
So the 2030s are just gonna be a repeat of the 1930s?
Hopefully not but it sure seems like people fancy some fascism all arpund the globe. I find it kinda hard to not fall in to doomerism these days. Just gotta believe extra hard but i am running low on hopium and copium.
Same here for what it's worth
You think you recovered from slavery or the genocide of the indigenous people, but not trump?
I’d argue we haven’t “recovered” from those at all. Racism of still very much a factor in our politics and culture and, sadly, indigenous people are a small enough group that we kinda ignore the embarrassment without really doing anything about it beyond it contributing to relative small racism and legal battles.
I mean the US is pretty much the wealthiest and most productive society in the history of the world. Yes, our collective souls are stained forever by the sins of our fathers, but that's hardly unique to the US.
Trump is actually going to usher in a new era of darkness which is going to be as bad as anyone alive has ever seen. I get that some people are still in denial, but this real.
What are you talking about? Still with the usa number 1? You are delusional.
I'm sorry that objective measures of economic output upset you?
I got some bad news for ya buddy, Biden signed off on more land than trump to be used for fossil fuel extraction. Doesn't matter who's in charge when we're heading full steam ahead towards a climate apocalypse thanks to capitalism! Choo Choo!
