What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Admiral Yi]

More he actually is what the right think soros is.

Not really.  Murdoch doesn't throw money around.  The Koch brothers are probably closer to a right wing Soros.  Or that very old Jewish casino owner.

I think that you are correct.  With Koch Bros and Soros, their money follows their ideology.  For Murdoch, his ideology follows the money.

[Admiral Yi]

DeSantis is only recently showing a seriousness for running for POTUS, so it may be the start of laying the foundation for positioning in the GOP primary.

Disagree with this.  The flying of asylum seekers, the Disney brouhaha, whatever anti trans stuff he's done, that's all designed to grab the spotlight and buff his image with primary voters.

Sheldon Adelson.  No longer alive.

He does however have huge power to decide who wins an election.
The powers he does have let him do this much better than just donating to politicians he likes - who ultimately spend the money they get from soros and Co on trying to hire Murdoch and Co.

Donald Trump indictment: Ex-US president to be charged over hush money


Former US President Donald Trump will be charged over hush money payments made to a porn star just before the 2016 presidential election.

The details of the charges he will face have not yet been released.

A grand jury voted to indict him on criminal charges, after investigating a $130,000 pay-out to Stormy Daniels in an attempt to buy her silence over an alleged affair. He denies wrongdoing.

Mr Trump is the first serving or former US president to face charges.

He is also being investigated in several other cases.

Mr Trump's attorney, Susan Necheles, confirmed the indictment to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.

He is expected to surrender to authorities next week, a source told the Associated Press news agency.

The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg - who has been pursuing the case - is expected to inform Mr Trump and his lawyers about the indictment shortly.

Mr Trump - who lives in Florida - will be required to appear in New York City for his formal arrest and first hearing in court.

He faces the prospect of having his fingerprints recorded and his mugshot taken, like all defendants in criminal cases.

[Razgovory]

So it finally happened.

[Valmy]

It's just an indictment. He'll have his day in court.

[Admiral Yi]

The penalty was never going to be the big deal with a campaign finance charge.  It's the arrest, the booking, the prints, the mug shot.  The Rubicon has been crossed. 

Or will be crossed very shortly.

[DGuller]

Would he get strip-searched during his booking?

[Tonitrus]

If he's down at Mar-a-lago, could Florida refuse to extradite? 

[garbon]

If he's down at Mar-a-lago, could Florida refuse to extradite? 

Oh DeSantis has already said that if it came to extradition that Florida would not participate.

Which is why I think this is not a good idea. It's only going to play up his martyrdom. They should really wait for something serious, like Georgia or Jan. 6. He's going to walk away from this and his supporters are going to go on how the Dems keep picking on him but nothing ever sticks.

Can't disagree.

Well it isn't a political strategy coming from a cabal of Democratic operatives. A court in New York is indicting him based on the recommendation of private citizens.
