If it gets him out of the election then I’m good. The Republicans need a viable candidate to beat the joker in the WH.

Man Conservatives love their boogeymen. Who will be the target when George Soros dies? What makes his political spending any worse than that of Leonard Leo or the Koch’s who most certainly have their own agendas when they back candidates?

He is NOT a smart man.
For reference:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/19/what-trump-has-said-central-park-five/1501321001/
tl;dr Trump took at ads for the death penalty for the five who were accused and "convicted". The real rapist admitted and was was proved to be the culprit. The five men were exonerated. Trump doubled down that they should be punished for something.

Hard to judge fairness when we haven't yet seen charges or evidence
--yet all manner of Republican leaders and celebrities are stepping forward to do that right now.
Anyone who breaks the law should be "fair game" for prosecutors, don't you agree? That we have never had such a scofflaw president before should not exempt this one from rule of law.
Perhaps if Nixon had not been pardoned, Trump would have behaved better--or never been elected.
The party of personal responsibility ought to be concerned about "fairness" as well,
and stop supporting someone who publicly breaks the law again and again while his party rushes to protect him.
Last I checked, President Trump has never been convicted of any crime. He bears the same rights we all do:
Innocent until Proven Guilty
If he is convicted, then we can discuss an actual crime that was proven he committed.

If he's convicted his supporters will support him even harder and people like you who vote GOP because they are millionaires are more likely to get stuck with more democratic rule stuffing up your wealth because the GOP has lost control of the unwashed peons they held captive for 40+ years.
You have more money than me, so by American standards you can dismiss my opinion but any modern day Republican will benefit you. Trump needs you more than you need him. Supporting Trump who is more likely to help Biden pilfer your pockets for 4 more years simply baffles me.
This is like watching democrats insist on running Hillary in 2016. You're bending over backwards to make it harder to win.
To;dr. You are rich, any Republican will benefit you. Stop empowering the one who has proven he can lose to Biden.

It's politically motivated on both sides. What the hell isn't these days?
Lets also be clear that Republicans have gone after Trump in various capacities over the years and such cases were also deemed by Trump and his supporters to be politically motivated witch hunts.

Exactly. He's been accused, investigated and indicted.
So why are people calling for a war to defend him?
He will still have a trial and an attempt to defend himself.

I posted in the other thread that DeSantis said he won't help extradite Trump because of course he won't.
However...

I assume Trump is going to tell people that DeSantis could have stopped this but didnt. He could continue to shovel dirt on ol Ron.

So based on your prior post. You do believe it's politically motivated.

Can you operationally define politically motivated for me? I feel like I may be general in my view of the term than you.

Question was simple enough & you answered by somehow equating it with Republicans went after him too.

As was mine. There is no sense agreeing or arguing about this being politically motivated if you and I won't reach common ground on what we mean by it.
I mean, how could anything involving Trump not be politically motivated? Just saying that this is politically motivated is a politically motivated action.

I didn't come here to argue. Although that's what always seems to happen. Which is why I haven't posted much lately.
Truth told I'm in a better frame of mind when I'm on the sidelines.
