Shouldn't we all then get the same type of treatment for similar criminal offenses then? After all, no one is above the law. No one. Yeah I don’t know why everyone hesitates to charge or convict a previous president. I understand an ex-president has never gone to jail before, but if he commits a crime, why wouldn’t he? Justice is supposed to be blind. We’ve sent plenty of governors and congresspeople to jail. I’m sure judges as well. Trump has broken so many other norms, why not let him break this particular one as well. I know he couldn’t go in the general population, and he would require SS protection, but really, if we locked Trump in a plain, non gilded room with no access to social media or hamburgers, he’d be miserable. That would be good enough. Confine Trump to house arrest. A rather plain house. Zero fancy. Property fenced in surrounded by security. No electronics or house phones. Visitation once a month. No physical contact with visitors including family. If allowed physical contact, vistors thoroughly searched before entry. Meals brought to him or provide groceries which he prepares himself. That treatment is a hell of a lot better than those incarcerated in jails and prisons.

No I don't agree with the clinton impeachment. Impeaching Biden for what I do not know, I don't think being a babbling idiot is an impeachable offense. Refusal to act what was he supposed to do isn't that what the capitol police is for? Funny how you have nothing to say about trumps mental state. Articulate he is not. He couldn’t talk enough about “padding” a simple screening test on a physical exam, which someone with an Ivy League education should have no problem passing. Biden exercises and rides a bicycle. Trump needed to ride a golf cart up a hill at the G8 in Sicily when the rest of the conference walked up the hill. And it is Biden’s health you question I bet your daughter is an expert in mental hess as others and told you about these issues You mean trying to ride a bicycle . I don't stick up for Trump he is what he is. There you go again bringing my family into a reply. Shows your character I try to be nice but you I don't know you just like to try to get under people skin. I basically said a while back lay off the family. I can see why you post so much if you have bedside manner like to how you push keys on a keybord then you probably don't have too many patients. Good drs you know the ones that actually have patients are too busy to post on forums as much as you. Have a good day. Question what did the little ducky say oh I know Quack Quack Quack

If you want to comment on someone’s health you should learn some medicine. Biden has a stutter. Shows you character that you make fun of that. Just like conservatives had no issue with trump making fun of a disabled reporter. My survey scores are quite good, thank you very much. Part of my bonus is tied to them. I receive almost all of the money that is tied to that. I am more than comfortable with my bedside manor. Comment about medical issues and I will continue to respond. I doubt you know more about them than I do, contrary to your beliefs

I have ADD and my brain can get going way faster than my mouth does. I will trip over or forget words not because I am a blibbering idiot but because I got out of sync. If I am doing any kind of formal speaking I need notes and I talk much more deliberately and slowly than I would if I were talking to a friend. I would definitely make sure to use a prompter if I was in an important position like the president. I WANT someone who is focusing on what he says regardless of the reason. We want to talk blibbering idiot there is countless footage of Trump not being able to form a coherent sentence to save his life. Where is the endless debate about his cognitive abilities from the conservatives?

trumps speech writers kept things simple so he wouldn't stumble over big words. When he went off script he sounded like a kid. Often encouraging the audience to cheer and love him. His own words.
Let's review his successes. His businesses failed. His marriages failed. His tv show failed. His presidency failed. So let's give him another chance. NOT.

My husband fell off a bike and into rip rap, breaking a finger, simply because he forgot to put a foot down when the bike stopped. He was 55 at the time. I saw Biden’s fall, and he was turning a corner, ran into a pack of reporters clogging the road and tipped over trying to stop suddenly. I was much more concerned about Trump having to grab another guys arm to steady himself as he carefully minced down a ramp. He looked very shaky and frail.

Then he had to use a golf cart to get around during the G7 Summit. Everyone else is walking and here comes Trump in a cart. Yet no meltdown from conservatives over how "weak" that made us look?

Russian State TV Host Says 'All Our Hope' Placed in 'Beloved' Donald TrumpRussian state television hosts and commentators have commended Donald Trump—heralding him as "beloved" and referring to him as "our candidate"—just days after the former president publicly praised Vladimir Putin. The footage was collated and posted online with English translations by Daily Beast columnist Julia Davis, who created the Russian Media Monitor watchdog. Her Twitter bio, which says she has been hit by sanctions from Russia, ends with the words: "I watch Russian state TV, so you don't have to." Davis uploaded the clips to Twitter late on Monday night. Her caption read: "Meanwhile in Russia: watch these highlights from today's state TV shows. The Kremlin's pet propagandists hate America, love Trump, find him 'incredible,' say they place all of their hope in him and Russia should continue to support 'its candidate.'" The footage begins with a clip of Trump addressing crowds being shown and then cuts to state TV host Evgeny Popov, who says: "Trump is an incredible guy." After another cut, a panel discussion is shown in which Moscow State University Professor Vitaly Tretyakov said: "I believe there is no real need for us here to rip the masks off European politicians and American ones, to a certain extent—except for our beloved Trump, in whom we place all of our hope that he might sober up America." There is another cut in the footage and state TV host Olgra Skabeeva says, apparently referring to Trump: "As always, our candidate doesn't let us down. We need to support him." The enthusiastic support for the former American president came after he praised Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping during a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. He told the cheering crowd: "I got to know a lot of the foreign leaders and unlike our leader, they're at the top of their game. These are like central casting... nobody [in Hollywood] could play the role of President Xi of China...He's a fierce person. Putin: fierce. They're smart." He went on to apparently praise the Authoritarian regime in China, by adding: "[Xi] rules with an iron fist 1.5 billion people, yeah I'd say he's smart." It's not the first time Trump has revealed his admiration for Putin. He has previously heaped praise on the Russian president, who invaded Ukraine in February sparking a bloody conflict resulting in thousands of deaths, and has seen his country hit by a range of punitive sanctions by the west. Speaking in February, Trump described Putin as "very smart" for how he had played the lead-up to the invasion, saying his strategy was "genius." A month later, during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, he declined to condemn Putin for his actions. Trump had previously praised Putin and Xi during a rally back in 2020 during his presidential campaign against Joe Biden. He said: "One thing I've learned, President Xi of China's 100 percent. Putin of Russia, 100 percent. These people are sharp and they are smart. Joe has lost it, in his best day he wasn't a smart man, everybody knows that." Television is the main news source for most Russians, according to a 2021 BBC report into Russian media, with the top national TV networks all state-run or owned by companies with close links to the Kremlin. The two leading stations—Channel 1 and Rossiya 1—are both under government control. Journalists who criticize Putin or denounce the war with Ukraine have been detained and prosecuted, including Marina Ovsyannikova, a Russian reporter for Channel 1 who made headlines worldwide when she held up a sign during a live broadcast slamming the war and denouncing her "lying" station's output as "propaganda."

[ Start? How many Benghazi investigations were there.? How many hearings about bill Clinton were there? I didn’t realize he wasn’t impeached. All for lying about sex? The allegations against trump are far more serious. Did you agree with impeAching Clinton? Republicans were talking publicly about the investigations the would do starting day 1 of the Hilary administration. There are republicans talking about impeaching Biden. You act. Like republicans didn’t participate in this. They could have helped fix it by convicting trump for the gross detection of duty after the riot broke out. No need to even worry about incitement. There is plenty of sworn testimony about his refusal to act once the Capitol was breeched. Unless they are all liars too No I don't agree with the clinton impeachment. Impeaching Biden for what I do not know, I don't think being a babbling idiot is an impeachable offense. Refusal to act what was he supposed to do isn't that what the capitol police is for?

Those empty folders mean nothing he has already seen them he has seen thousands of classified documents in his four years. Congratulations. In my many years of reading MANY stupid posts from MANY stupid people, this may be the stupidest thing I have ever read. It doesn't matter if he has seen them. It matters who else has seen them and where they are now. There is a very real chance that they have already been given to (or more likely sold to) people who most definitely should not have them, including our enemies. There is a very real chance that foreign agents have been able to access them due to the lax security at Mar-A-Lago, with or without the aid of staff there or Trump himself. Donald Trump already has a history of not only mishandling classified information but giving it to foreign agents, including the Russians. And of course he does, he can't help himself. Donald Trump is only about Donald Trump. That has been true since he was a toddler, and remains true as the emotional toddler he will always be. It is TOTALLY believable that he had documents in his desk to be able to pull them out to show visitors, in an attempt to impress them and demonstrate his "importance." It is even more believable that he had more nefarious thoughts in mind for them. That is who he is. That is who he will always be. Donald Trump has demonstrated to the world for several decades EXACTLY who and what he is. For some reason, you apparently cannot see it. Here's a clue: If you come upon a destroyed structure, with smoke rising from the ashes, scorch marks everywhere, melted residue, and hot spots underfoot, you can reasonably infer that there was a fire. You don't have to actually see the flames to conclude there was a fire there. Stupid is as Stupid does.

I don't think it was exactly like that maybe implied. Why do I get the impression I'm interacting with Marjorie Taylor Greene. LMAO! That is a pretty good comparison.

My job never had anything classified, although I did have to follow certain rules to prevent insider trading. On any given day I saw a few dozen details on items I had an ethical duty to handle properly. Some of my colleagues could catalog more of the information in their heads, could remember the numbers, etc. The rest of us had more limited details committed to memory. I did, however, always know where to look - my notes, old reports and presentations, databases, etc. I often did not know the number, but could pull it quickly.
I can’t imagine how many details and how much paperwork a US President has to deal with on a day to day basis, but even for very smart people I can imagine there is quite a difference between seeing a portfolio with thousands of detailed secrets, being able to memorize the details perfectly and recall them months later vs having a copy of those documents that you could just refer to. Could Biden, Trump, Obama or Bush memorize the full list of names and aliases, locations and assignments of spys? Maybe - but would they also have a perfect index of nuclear secrets? And detailed military information? It seems unlikely that many people have that level of recall AND were skilled enough politicians to rise to the level of President.
Having seen the documents and having the documents are a false equivalency.

Oh my mistake I'll correct myself Biden is a Babbling idiot with a studder. Still making fun of someone’s medical problem, I see. Are you an expert in neurology? Did you feel the same way when trump was unintelligible, or is it only democrats that you have this issue with. Unless you are a neurologist, you have no idea what you are talking about. But since you are a member of the party of trump, making fun of someone’s physical attributes must be second nature

I thought it was pretty tacky when he did it. It is just as pathetic when his groupies do it too.

Somebody here is a babbling trumper. Has trouble seeing the truth. So sad and so predictable. I'm far from being a so called Trumper if there is a real meaning other than in dems little minds. I diddn't want Trump to run but I would never would have voted for Hillary. If we get a chance to have a woman president I would only want a republican. Then after seeing how this disgusting dem congress would turn anything into an impeachable offence is actually quite shameful. anyone who disagrees with you demsters (oh I just made a word for you posters) is a Trumper, the party of Trump like you know more than all the millions and millions of republican voters that realize as bad a Trump is he is still better than 90% of democrats. The only decent democrat since JFK was Clinton, the last time I voted democrat.

The only decent democrat since JFK was Clinton, the last time I voted democrat. have you forgotten Lewinsky? seriously- impeaching a president over perjury (in an instance where the only person harmed was HIMSELF and Monica) seems pretty minor compared to the graft that Trump was impeached for. Clinton was also the last Democratic president i voted for. but i have not voted for a Republican since then either, except in the primaries. neither party seems able to field someone i can agree with. that is what third parties are for. if they want my vote, they should field better candidates. i disagree with you about Trump -vs- 90% of Democrats. i think he is worse than 90% of Republicans, and almost all Democrats. there are a few hideous, refrigerator stuffing exceptions. but most people (over half) in congress are decent people. Trump is utterly indecent. and that is putting it kindly.

Clinton was also the last Democratic president i voted for. but i have not voted for a Republican since then either, except in the primaries. neither party seems able to field someone i can agree with. that is what third parties are for. if they want my vote, they should field better candidates. i disagree with you about Trump -vs- 90% of Democrats. i think he is worse than 90% of Republicans, and almost all Democrats. there are a few hideous, refrigerator stuffing exceptions. but most people (over half) in congress are decent people. Trump is utterly indecent. and that is putting it kindly. I'm not a Republican although I might have been registered as one early in my voting career. I do not agree with Republican values at this point since they seem to mostly be about culture wars and pulling society back. Suppressing black votes while pretending there is a significant voter fraud issue that does not exist. Going after immigrants while continuing to fund the large employers that use them. Forcing births as a feel good fake Christian measure and actively making it harder to raise and fund unwanted babies. Oh and gun rights at all costs because who cares about school children and mass shootings? Need to have "protection" even if it is more likely to be used for suicide or against a family member. Some of the Dem party platform goes too far for me but being an Independent in NJ did not give me much say in any election. Even so, its only recently that it felt like I had any impact on who got elected in state. Many of the places I have lived were and are Republican party controlled cities and counties. One of those counties had rampant corruption at the county level and only because of Trump have we been able to get rid of some of them. Dems are far from perfect, but they at least are not a party of active hypocrites.

Somebody here is a babbling trumper. Has trouble seeing the truth. So sad and so predictable. I'm far from being a so called Trumper if there is a real meaning other than in dems little minds. I diddn't want Trump to run but I would never would have voted for Hillary. If we get a chance to have a woman president I would only want a republican. Then after seeing how this disgusting dem congress would turn anything into an impeachable offence is actually quite shameful. anyone who disagrees with you demsters (oh I just made a word for you posters) is a Trumper, the party of Trump like you know more than all the millions and millions of republican voters that realize as bad a Trump is he is still better than 90% of democrats. The only decent democrat since JFK was Clinton, the last time I voted democrat. No, it's not really. Do you remember when Tillerson tried to tell him "no, you can't do that, it's not legal?" John Kelly also tried to tell him "replace me with a Yes man, and you will be impeached" What happened is he did just that. After seeing how the disgusting Republican party turned from the party of law and order is actually quite shameful. Actually, seeing the Republican party elect anyone who would diss a gold star family like he did....shows exactly what this party of all about. And it's not giving a care in the world about the country.

I think DJ is generous in his assessment. Who is worse than Trump? Boebert? MGT? Cruz? DeSantis? As much as I dislike Cruz I think he is not as bad as Trump. No one really likes him, but they would have not gone around him in his first couple years in office because he was clueless. And luckily one of the people who is worse than Trump, Bannon, has not been a candidate for office to my knowledge.
I did not approve of Hillary's war hawk ways, but to me that is preferable to a man who cozies up to dictators and gives them what they want because they know how to flatter his ego.
If I lived in Washington state I wouldn't need to register for a political party. And with ranked choice voting we are seeing how unpopular some candidates actually are. I lost the link to a nice article on why Sarah Palin lost and how wrong she is about whining like Trump. The author pointed out that many of those who supported another Republican chose the winning Dem candidate over Palin in ranked choice voting. The system worked. Palin, who had a narrow base of support lost.

Actually, seeing the Republican party elect anyone who would diss a gold star family like he did....shows exactly what this party of all about. And it's not giving a care in the world about the country. Actually, it is an old GOP majority Congress that got Clinton for perjury, an impeachable offense, while going after him for having an affair with an intern. Not illegal, not preferred or condoned in the US, until of course Trump. (I wonder who he has been having extra-martial relations with while in office. Its Trump, so it is one someone or several someones.) So the Dem majority Congress used actual laws and real concerns to impeach Trump. Russia was pro Trump, and he could have been not guilty if he and his kids, administration, had not actively worked with them. Yes, he was not responsible for all Russian interference, however he is still culpable for the interference and help he sought. Including asking publicly for Russians to hack servers on his behalf to harm another candidate. All the concerns have been legit and proven. However since we have a shameful butt kissing GOP congress, they refuse to impeach Trump no matter what he does, because its party over country for them. The hypocrisy is very strong in Rubio in defending Trump on holding his Top Secret docs especially contrasted to his vehement anti-Hillary speech over Hillary just receiving low level secret info. The GOP went on a fishing expedition with Bill Clinton expecting him to perjure himself on the stand, which he did. Trump would do so too, except the Repubs are very good at being bad and doing things to avoid the consequences of their actions. Party of responsibility, not.
