  1. Which poll is she looking at? The polls I have seen say something very different

    1. Please specify the poll(s) you are looking at and then we can conti ue with this conversation.

      1. She implies polling and statistics, yet provides sources for neither. All she does here, per usual is spout Repub talking points.

        1. Concerning doing nothing but spouting talking points…If you scroll down I believe there is a post of yours where you are referring to a kettle and a pot. Maybe you should be a little more self-aware?

            1. Really? You’re so clueless you don’t even see your hypocrisy, but then most libbies don’t so surprise, surprise.

              Go yourself.

        1. Hmm, yet that same poll says 60% support the indictment. What’s your point?

          1. Apparently, that far too many people support abusing the legal system for political purposes.

          2. my point is that people commenting here doubt there is a poll which shows the majority of Americans believe this is political. I found a CNN poll which shows 76% think it’s political.
            Where are the polls that say the opposite?

    2. I appreciate Governor Noem standing in support of Trump. Things would not be such a financial and political mess if he was still in charge. Many did not like his past demeanor. Why not? They hated hearing the truth.

      1. What rock are you living under? Are you a skin head, nazi, white supremist, womanizer, make America white again dumb a** as well?

  2. Oh, dear, the haters are on here today. Bitter angry Democrats who don’t believe in Democracy.

    1. Your usual schtick is getting tiresome. Your dear orange leader is the one opposed to democracy, but you do you.

      1. And your dear old senile “godfather” is tanking this country both at home and abroad. Bless your heart anne.

        1. Like you Repubs love to say, “If you don’t like it here, move.” Have you sent your donation to your beloved dear orange leader yet?

          1. Oh what a verbal scourging!

            And like you dims love to say, BUT BUT BUT TRUMP!

            Have you made your human sacrifice yet this year to the dem god libtard, i.e. abortion?

              1. AAWWW. Did I offend the poor little snowflake with the truth? GOOD!

                Bless your heart ann.

        2. old lunch-pail joe could be worse. a much more pernicious problem is the fractured and less effective state trump’s constant kampf is leaving the gop in. i want my powerful focused party back thanks.

          1. Maybe, just maybe if the establishment republicans would have carried out their campaign promises and governed in the best interest of the country over the last 20 years or so we wouldn’t have seen all this division we have now.

            1. Right? It seems, though, they’re being replaced by the loud voices, like MTG, Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz, who are more interested in banning books, banning transexuals, and now defunding law enforcement. One has to wonder what Govagnome would think of a committee of the US House demanding Pierre’s State’s Attorney come before Congress to answer for prosecution of a state law.

  3. No one cares what the governor of South Dakota thinks about it, so her hubris is quite something. And it’s sad that she doesn’t believe felonies should be prosecuted. Anyone think she’d have the same opinion if it were Clinton or Biden getting prosecuted? Of course not. She’s a political hack.

    1. I care what Gov. Noem thinks, and I live in South Dakota. You’ll have to be more clear about the unprosecuted felonies; they do not pertain to Donald Trump. Do you have someone else in mind?

          1. Of course not. The judicial process should be allowed to roll forward. Hence why Noem’s statement is so foolish and makes plain that she (and apparently you) believe that Trump is apparently above the law.

            1. Honestly, I’m not really looking forward to the Biden and Clinton Trials.

              I am still interested in the new doctor trials, and in seeing what FBI accountability (1/6) looks like.

        1. Alvin Bragg’s presser was much shorter than I expected. I don’t think the reporters’ questions were as friendly as he expected.
          After saying Trump engaged in a conspiracy to influence the election somebody should have asked if he would prosecute the conspirators who produced the Steele Dossier. But they didn’t ask that, they asked what crime Trump and his co-conspirators were trying to cover up, I think he was surprised they asked that, because in the bubble he lives in, everybody “knows” Trump is a criminal. He said he doesn’t need to identify a crime. This is kind of like charging someone with “resisting arrest” without ever explaining why he needed to be arrested. Or the even worse practice of civil forfeiture without ever bringing any charges of a related crime, just taking the property.
          Just because the police can do that, doesn’t make it right.

          Last night on FOX News they reported that since the indictment, 25% of the donations the Trump campaign has received came from first-time donors, and his poll numbers have gone up.
          This business of going to trial in December or January will be entertaining. We’ll be hitting the primary season with daily breathless news reports about Trump. Every single day, they’ll be talking about Trump. The primary voters will feel like members of the jury.

            1. Why not? I also believe the CNN poll which shows 76% of us thing the indictments are politically motivated. So if 76% think the indictments are politically motivated it is not surprising that new donors are chipping in, with 25% of campaign donations coming from first-time donors. Those two statistics are not incompatible.
              If you believe one you should not be surprised by the other.

  4. That the DOJ declined to prosecute ends the entire debate. Those who ignore this and continue to carry on should be forced to wear a big red clown nose.

    1. I’d like to see Thune challenge Trump in 2024, but he won’t do it. Thune passed up his opportunity in 2012, and since then he’s been a lackluster DC fixture, a deeply disappointing agent of the negotiated surrender that has stricken the nation.

      How high’s the debt clock, Mama? Say it’s $31 Trn and rising. Thune has been there for it all. So now tell me what his success has been besides his ability to get reelected.

  5. That would be a great thing, if we could move on with other candidates in mind. Thune would be fine, let’s open the field up. I’m tired of hearing about President Trump’s favorite prostitute, his affair with the Playmate of the month, his 250 million dollars in bank fraud, his intimidation of the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia, his loyal constituents who wreck the Capitol and threaten to hang Mike Pence. Let’s turn the page.

  6. OMG,

    1). they charged him with falsifying business records even though he used personal funds (not business) and didn’t take any tax deduction for the payments.

    2). The long list of counts have no standing as the statute of limitations have expired. The reason they have such limitations is so people can’t be charged with infractions for which the passage of time may not allow them to properly defend themselves.

    3). They didn’t even tie it to a specific felony (State or Federal).

    4). They have no intention of investigating the leak of grand jury matters, which is a felony.

    You just can’t make this stuff up. What an abuse of the legal system.

    1. Watching this crap is fun… Smart money is on the fellow prosecuting, as I am sure he knows the statute of limitations. But hey, keep coming up with excuses for the large orange fellow. After all, I am sure he is doing this all for YOU – just make sure you donate to the “billionaires” legal defense fund… LOL

      Side note, how are you conservative folks not upset that he paid a porn-star to cover up his alleged affair? Y’all moved on waaay too easy from “No way, he never did that” to “hol’up – that happened too long ago…”

      1. Maybe us conservative folks agreed with you all that Bill Clinton’s abuse of Monica Lewinsky was just a personal matter between him and his wife. For all the sleaze that oozed out of the Clinton WH, Democrats still think he was a great POTUS.

        There wasn’t much complaining when John Edwards did the same thing with campaign funds and the DOJ couldn’t get a conviction, but the mess tanked Edward’s political career. Bragg won’t get a conviction here, either. He just hopes the publicity will tank Trump’s political career and glorify his own.
        But Trump’s sex life was well known to the public long before 2016. His affair with Marla and divorce from Ivana was well publicized in the early 1990s. Nobody cared. It seems that in spite of that his supporters believe he was a great POTUS.

  7. It seems most posters here dance around whether or not he did it, and focus on the fact that prosecutors arent charging the “right” criminals, or it’s not a big deal, or what about Hunter. We hold children more accountable than the former president. Marjorie Taylor Greene seriously likened him to Jesus.

    1. Under the Constitution and the principle of the rule of law, the Justice system can only hold people accountable under the law, which means charged with crimes on the books within the statute of limitations. Using it for anything else is an abuse of the Justice system, which is significantly more grave than LEGALLY using his own money to fund a non-disclosure agreement.

      Trying to prosecute Donald Trump for paying hush money to a porn star does not equal taking money from a foreign adversary, not registering as a foreign agent, and misusing the office of the Vice President. So, I believe he paid her money, I don’t see the crime even though I do not condone what he did, and I wonder if that satellite was allowed to traverse our nation and gather US military intelligence because the President/parent wants to protect his only living son.

      1. Trump has been abusing the legal system for decades lol. Also who was the guy that wanted to jail his political opponent without due process? Got his fans chanting it and everything.

      2. Bragg has a problem with the statute of limitations. He doesn’t know what year it is.

    2. Anonymous at 8:13 most posters are dancing around whether or not he did it, because Alvin and the Chipmunks never said what “it” is. We don’t know whether or not he did it because we don’t know what the crime was.

      The Trump haters don’t know what the crime was they were trying to cover up either, but they are sure that whatever it was, he did it,

  8. whataboutism….

    This is the best she can do to, the evidence is there, it isn’t political. She knows this and that is why she brings up the other issue.

  9. it’s thrilling to see the outpouring of support for trump here. it gives you something to do that doesn’t involve new ways to wreck and loot the republican party in the ongoing 2020 tantrum.

    1. i’m thrilled that you think so. it kind of proves my point about how fanatically linked you and the gang are to the cult of personality.

  10. Jumping on a grenade for Trump will not get you any medals, it won’t endear you to him, and it will alienate you from the silent majority of voters (see Mr. Powers’ writing about the Minnehaha County Republican Board) who think Trump should crawl back into a hole.

  11. Such a profound statement! That must’ve taken her hours to come up with… Ha! Even JEB Bush has taken a stronger stand.
