The time is moving too quickly for Trump...

Just 18 days until his jury appointment. It will be here too soon for him.

On top of that, his $175 million bond is rapidly approaching.

How can he delay his trial this time? Call in sick? He is about to run out of delays and connections.

For a grifter of his stature, selling Bibles would be embarrassing to most con-men, but wherever he can scrape up a dollar is alright with him.

They say "April is the cruelest month". The Grifter is about to find out.

I do not hold much respect for these so-called "Republicans" that criticize Trump...

...but still remain part of that Party.

They just can't bring themselves to leave that sick organization or to ever vote for Joe Biden or a Democrat. They are still clinging to the hem of his garment. They cannot totally cut the cord to that sick cult.

They are still part of the problem. They are still helping to create the division in this country. Ronna McDaniel is only the latest example. She was going to pretend that she was divorced from Trump and the Republicans and was ready to work for the NBC network. But, too many saw thru her scam from the beginning.

Republicans are not helping America, and certainly are not helping the Democrats, in resolving this attack upon our democracy. They are only prolonging any solution by continuing to cling to that decadent and criminal organization called the GOP.

Very few are showing any courage.

Have you got your Bible yet?

This has to be the best grift ever! This is even better than Oral Roberts prayer cloths. For just $59.99, you can own your very own "God Save-the USA" Bible, that has been endorsed by Donald Trump, with a foreword by Lee Greenwood.

Now, if he can only sell a million of those Bibles (allow 4-6 weeks for delivery), he would almost have enough money to cover his bail.

This is beyond embarrassment.

For true Christians, it must hold some blasphemous value?

Trump's criminal tactics are far ahead of the US Justice System...

His strategy of delay has been very effective for him up to this point. He has defeated the justice system at every turn. His many years of challenging court decisions and screwing the system has worked well for him.

However, his hope, and final strategy, is to win or steal the Presidency and to dismiss all these charges that have been placed against him. That is his final victory. Whether that comes to pass is yet to be seen.

But, up to this point, the Justice System has not been able to hold him to account.

Donald Trump has stolen much more than $175 million...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/report-trump-lost-more-1-billion-1985-1994-n1003141

(snip)
WASHINGTON — The New York Times reported Tuesday that Donald Trump’s businesses lost more than $1 billion from 1985 to 1994, based on tax information the newspaper acquired.

The Times said it has acquired printouts from the future president’s official IRS tax transcripts, including figures from his federal tax form.

The newspaper said Trump reported business losses of $46.1 million in 1985, and a total of $1.17 billion in losses for the 10-year period.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Another small example from the Trump University): He was ordered to pay a $25 million dollar fine for ripping people off. Of course, this was after he made profits of more than $80 million. He still came out far ahead on the deal.

The "hush money" case never received the attention it deserved...

It was much more important than portrayed in the media.

Simply because, if it had not been paid, and it had become public information, Trump may never have been elected in 2016. It could have changed the course of history.

But, it was a cover-up.

After all the negative coverage about "genital grabbing", etc., it would not have been a favorable story to try and counter. It should not have been withheld from the public.

For those that say it would not have mattered - that people had already made up their minds - I am not so sure about that.

The idea that Trump and Cohen believed it was important enough to pay to keep it hushed, says a lot about its importance, in my opinion.

How stupid is the "Trump Cult"?

How smart do they think they are?

Just my observation, but they act like they are the most informed voters on earth when they start spouting their propaganda. They are super proud of what they have learned since they joined the "cult". They have an answer for every question. If you think you can trick them into agreeing with facts outside their world, they will quickly inform you that if Donald Trump did it or said it, then he had a very good reason to do so, and they trust him over all the fake news.

Stupidity is to be celebrated, not to be castigated or vilified. After all, why would so many people show up at a Trump rally and hardly anyone shows up at a Biden rally? Answer that, Einstein! Isn't that proof that Trump won the election and Joe Biden never received the votes that they reported?

But, don't call them a "Cult". They don't like that. They are enlightened Americans who realized that there was only one guy willing to "tell it like it is". Why do you have so much difficulty understanding that?

"Your money or your life?"

In my opinion, this encapsulates the day for Donald John Trump:
