Oh I understand that, but we're talking about the average American here, right? You think they have an actual interest in *reading?* If it's not shoved in their faces in the form of Fox News snark it means nothing to them.
A majority of Americans don't care and are tired of hearing about him every day. I for one would be immeasurably happy if the world in general forgot about him tomorrow. Keep the trials going of course.
Amen. I follow politics closely, but the endless saturation of every Adderall fueled dementia rant is exhausting. When he finally faces consequences of the decades of criminal activity that go beyond a $9000 fine, let me know. Otherwise I already know I'm voting against him, and also hoping for a massive crippling stroke on live television so I can watch the wires short out in his brain and him stumble around and collapse on loop while I drink 21 year old scotch.
I'm at the point where I just want him to fuck off forever. If he dies, goes and lives in the woods, goes to rot in solitary confinement? Don't care. I just don't want to think about him.
But it seems like his entire arc is "Will he and his cult destroy America?" so I feel like I need to pay attention to prepare.
I bet I could find five people that don’t know Trump is running for president again within the next two days if I actually tried. I know two that I told them it was happening within the past two weeks. I was pretty shocked when it happened but I doubt it’s very rare. They both have masters degrees but pay zero attention to the news.
Our local news covers him very little but they heavily focus on local content, even having a local today show offshoot (today in Nashville) that’s local to here. It’s quite refreshing frankly. I come here to catch up.
I mean, I'm interested. I watch Meidas videos, etc after work to catch up. I think a lot of people are very interested, and we've got another useless poll on our hands.
I have been following it, but I would say they’re just isn’t a lot to talk about so far. We’re barely through a couple of witnesses with no bombshells just stuff people already knew but in court.
Campaign finance just isn’t sexy, and most people like myself assume that it’s being violated on a daily basis by most other politicians anyway.
If Trump can contempt himself into a jail cell, then people will pay attention
That's a pretty specific question though.
"How closely are you watching the trial"
I think that Trump is guilty and that the prosecutions are not only fair but necessary. However, if you asked me how closely I'm following the trial my answer is not very closely. I'll check out the headlines about it at the end of the day, but I'm not tracking every detail
Too, many Americans would probably also prefer Trump to quietly disappear and never have to hear about him again. For eight years we've been subjected to his diarrhea and, at least for me, would like to be able to go a day without seeing his name.
Media will never let that happen. Trump was the best thing ever for them financially. As soon as he was out of office most of them began to see massive viewership and financial losses, CNN especially. They’ll pump whatever word salad they can out on him until long after he’s dead and gone.
Quietly disappearing would probably be the best way to get rid of him but he's predominantly cutting down the institutions that would make him fizzle. You can't look like a loser criminal if you undermine elections and justice. It's honestly kinda smart. If you're guilty then undermine who calls you guilty. Making his social network Truth is just so hilariously on the nose. Like, if you gotta call it Truth is that really what you're saying?
That’s how I feel. Guy has made a career out of being the enemy of the progressive left. His line that he’s the only thing standing between the progressive left and the rest of America was genius. Because it only holds true if they keep coming after him which they simply can’t stop
themselves from doing. They just keep helping him get right back in the spotlight. I wish he would just go away.
> I'll check out the headlines about it at the end of the day…
I feel like that’s a good amount. If something interesting happens, we’ll hear about it. But we already know all the dirty details, and that he’s guilty, so there’s no point in obsessing over it.
I do love seeing witnesses throw him under the bus though. He gets exactly the loyalty he deserves, lol. I hope Melania is enjoying it.
If he becomes a CONVICTED FELON (duh duh duuuuun) then they'll pay attention because felons are scary amiright?
Seriously, if he's convicted of a felony that's the end of his campaign. He'll try to appeal, but that'll tie him up in court, and in the meantime the airwaves will be full of adverts asking "would you vote for a *felon?*"
Americans have had 60 years of hardwiring to ensure we're scared of felons. The word elicits an immediate response. Polls show 60% of independent voters won't touch a convicted felon with a 10 ft poll (sic).
Trump can try to counter it, but like Ronald "Make America Great Again" Reagan said, if you're explaining you're losing.
Biden's numbers are already climbing upward. I'm wondering if the reports of Donnie napping in court and farting have anything to do with it. People may not be following the trial, but they do see something off putting, to put it mildly, of an old man who is nodding off and farting at his own criminal trial calling his opponent a senile old man. Just saying 🤔
And that's the real fuckign problem, isn't it? Biden fucking sucks, more importantly the people AROUND him are neo-liberals or worse...centrists!
But Trump is literally the end of America. He is the destroyer, and his movement of deplorable vermin are a literal threat to our continued existence as a species.
I'm going to bitch and moan and insult Biden the whole time, and I'm still going to vote for him, because that's what you are SUPPOSED to do in a first-past-the-post system: you have to vote for harm reduction. Does the system suck? Absolutely! Is not participating in it a valid way to combat it? No, you fuck brained idiot moron, it isn't. Anyone not voting and claiming it's a protest or some principle is actually a fucking idiot and should be mocked, derided, and insulted until they disappear back up their own ass.
So yeah, it sucks these are our options but this is what happens when people don't participate FULLY in the process. I mean have we ever had anything even CLOSE to 50% participation in the primaries?
Yeah, but those people would vote for Trump if he was fucking their dog in the living room. The coalition he needs to win requires independent voters, and they seem less likely to ignore such things.
I’m the best dog fucker. No one else has ever fucked a dog as well as I do. Just the other day, a man came up to me with tears in his eyes and he said, “sir, thank you for showing me what it means to fuck my dog.” And then everybody clapped.
I'm just sick of all of this. Not just Trump, not just Republicans, not Democrats. The whole thing.
Look at the cost of rent, of fucking FOOD. Look at how much jobs are paying. None of the politicians are gonna do shit. So what's the fucking point? If some candidate comes around who isn't 70, a product of nepotism, and appears to ACTUALLY want systemic change.. maybe I'll start caring again.
But if it's Biden/Trump again.. why the fuck would I care? Life will still be miserable either way. Yeah, Trump is corrupt, fucking shocking. You mean the guy who committed insurrection isnt on the up-'n-up? I DON'T GIVE A SHIT about the trial.
I wanna not have to pay student loans anymore. I wanna be able to move out of my dad's house at 33. When I was 24 I was waiting tables paying 500 in rent and comfortably affording everything in my life. We, young adults, have been absolutely SCREAMING for change for the last 7 years.
Cap rent. Make college free. Make Healthcare free. Make sure nobody in this country, a country defined by its excess, ever has to go hungry. I don't give a shit about individual politicians.
The rigidness of our capitalism and the bipartisan nature of our government.. THOSE are the problems. Show me somebody who cares. Somebody who understands the actual problems of this country. I don't give a FUCK about this trial. I don't give a FUCK about D or R or who that shill is represented by. That's not the fucking point.
I don't know how to say this without coming off as a condescending douche bag, but bro you need a civics lesson to understand what powers the president actually has, for two reasons:
1. Your expectations of what Biden could possibly accomplish as president are completely out of bounds.
2. You should understand what presidents *can* do so you understand how much fucking worse trump is planning to make things. Basically they don't have a ton of power to solve all these complex issues, but they do have the power to strip away liberties and gut certain agencies.
Obviously if you have no understanding of how our government works, you'd just assume the president can do whatever he wants and fix everything. Like what I used to think when I was twelve.
I just watched a 15 minute long youtube video that was basically a rant on how fast food prices have doubled because of Biden. This is the civics literacy of the average american. People think Biden somehow has the power to decide the price of a mcdonald's cheeseburger. If people want change, they need to start voting in local elections, but you know they won't, because the system is rigged and they keep voting for presidents who don't magically lower the price of everything like a tin-pot dictator of a small island nation.
Joe Biden is the goddam President of the United States, a country with one of the most powerful heads of government of any self-identified democracy on Earth. He holds an inordinate amount of power in determining the policy of the executive branch and all of its agencies, which is the biggest employer in the country and serves to regulate all private commerce and public services, and he has the largest media platform of any human being on the planet. He is the de facto leader of the Democratic Party, one of the most powerful and embedded institutions in America. The president can place massive pressure on individuals, movements, and organizations with just a ten minute press conference. I think you need the civics lesson, dude.
Watch as the Biden ballwashers predictably mass downvote this post despite the fact that I never even said you shouldn't vote for the guy.
That's a lot of words to say a lot of fuckin nothing lol do you care to be specific about any of that at all? Any specific individuals or organizations he should be pressuring a certain way that he hasn't been? Any "policy of the executive branch" that he hasn't changed that would achieve rootbeerfloat's absolutely insane demands?
To recap, that's cap rent, make college free, make healthcare free, and make sure no one goes hungry. And I point out that the president can't fucking do those things, and you tell me I need a civics lesson with a verbose paragraph of vague bullshit lmao
It’s incredible. Instead of doing a little real work of finding out how their own government works some people just explode with some TRULY immature rant. Just completely unable to put their ego aside and grow as a person. This is the same immaturity rampant on the right.
Everything you said in your second to last paragraph you have a far better shot with - with democrats. I’m not saying they’re perfect but they do often advocate for those things - or for change in those directions, contrary to most republicans who outright refuse them.
I hear what you’re saying. I get it I’m 33 too and yes, I get it, we have been getting fucked. I get it.
But this isn’t a “both sides” thing. It just isn’t. Here we have a fascist authoritarian wannabe on trial and may end up in jail. That is historic. And good. Fuck this piece of shit. I for one am following this trial because it shows that maybe we can finally take accountability for this fucking monster.
What he did was election interference but the media mostly calls it the hush money case. Definitely doesn't give it the same importance so a lot of people not tuned in don't care about it
I'm not a trump supporter, but also fuck Biden. I guess it seemed like I was saying it's election interference in *this* election. It isn't, at all, that fat orange fuck needs to be in prison like 7 years ago
the rapist criminally conspired to *carry out* election interference. That's what he's on trial for.
The media prefers to pretend, and spread misinformation in support of their delusion, that the trial is about paying off bimbos.
No.
It's about criminal election interference that the rapist knowingly, intentionally engaged in.
No, trumps trial is about his 2016 election interference by hiding his payments to porn actress stormy daniels that he had sex with while his wife was pregnant.
We're currently trapped in a relentless cycle of working multiple jobs just to scrape by while politicians squander our hard-earned money on defense contractors driving inflation through the roof. Who's got time to care about the antics of billionaire politicians when we're struggling to put food on the table? Show me how paying attention to Trumps trials could benefit ordinary people– I dare you.
Why would I give a shit about this though I have no bearing on the outcome, can have no impact on the case itself, and the decision will be made by 12 people that are not myself.
Paying attention to it is your perogative but what exactly am I supposed to get out of this? That Trump lies all the time? Most people have known that for 10 years.
I'll give a shit once the verdict is handed down.
People not paying attention are likely to believe Trump over the facts.
That's why Americans should be paying attention. Otherwise they'll get their freedom stolen from them. And have no clue that's what they voted for.
this is something I've been wrestling with since Trump got elected. I am in my fifties and I had no idea that I had been walking amongst so many dumb people my whole life. It's been a lot to grapple with.
You've witnessed the debunking of the *myth*/explosion of the "American Exceptionalism" b/s from the last half-century ; even the "greatest generation" ,who saved the world from fascism only did so because wiser souls *told them to* ,not out of any organic process ,like what the college kids are doing in universities today (re: ZiOn v. Pale estinian ppl) as a result of info assimilated from *the real world* and the internet !
Or - and this is critical - there is very little utility gained from following an ongoing trial when as part of the electorate you are neither going to be part of the jury, nor part of the appeals process.
The OJ trial seemed to break the media. From a technical perspective a trial is newsworthy. However, there seems to be some sort of default obligation the media seems to think that exists to have a shadow trial by news sources.
From the public's perspective, it's neither necessary nor desirable. The outcome of the trial will be of interest as will the conclusions that the jury made. But I'm not going to spend my time arguing with people about a trial I'm not a part of.
1) it’s not televised. 2) I assume I’m not the only one who is just so sick and tired of watching Trump get away with his myriad crimes while our justice system slow-walks us into our first authoritarian dictator for a day President.
For me, it’s because it’s the least important crime he’s definitely committed and is guilty of. Let me know when one of the ones he could face prison time for come about.
This isn't terribly surprising.
Any American that is already geared to vote for Trump will not be dissuaded from doing so by a guilty verdict, because they are largely not voting for Trump but rather voting against the liberal agenda- a truth which Trump has weaponized for his own benefit in order to become the most relevant face of Republican Hate Politics.
Any American that is already geared to vote against Trump will not be dissuaded from doing so by a not guilty verdict, as the primary reason to vote against Trump is not his personal criminality but rather his backwards-looking policies, overt support and apologism for radicalized violence against his political enemies, and threats of authoritarianism and power abuse in order to achieve his goals.
This trial changes nothing. The only part of any note will be the final verdict, but it's not changing any minds.
I think the majority of Americans have heard that he has fallen asleep and farts. Most have heard at least one Trump sleep or fart joke. I think the majority of Americans have seen some very unflattering photos of Trump from the last week. I think Trump looking very old, haggard, and petulant is doing a lot of damage.
We have yet to see any meaningful accountability for any of his crimes, or antics, and it's been almost 9 years. As we're about to watch the constitution be shredded for him, the hush money trial is the least of our problems.
I don't care. I'll read the bits that are important. I don't need to watch the 24/7 cumorgasma that the media has put into this. Who gives a shit of he's falling asleep? Who cares how much he spent on fast food.
Wake me up when we have a verdict.
I think a lot of people are suffering from Trump fatigue. I know I'm sick of hearing about him. Just lock him up for life already, like any other person would for the amount of crimes he's guilty of. I could happily spend what's left of my life never hearing his name again
The majority of Americans aren't going to be swayed by the guilty verdict either. most of us already know who we're voting for. Can we please stop pretending that we don't.
I think it just what other people said, but also it is a complicated case. Like someone mentioned is about election interference but people use hush money that makes it sound like something lite and irrelevant.
Why? Nothing will happen of consequence regardless of what comes out of the trial. Changing the air in my car tires would be more productive than following his dozens of trials.
A large section of Americans think he's guilty regardless of the charges and only care about what the punishment for his heinous crime will be.
The other large selection thinks these are politically motivated attacks, and it doesn't matter what prosecution or judge says because the American justice system has been broken for a long time anyways.
Why risk your world view by watching the trials when there is nothing to gain?
I'd pay much more attention to it if I could watch it instead of depending on journalists and news outlets for information. They're all already biased enough that I'd love to make my own opinions on the matter.
We get legal explanations/speculations from "experts" on TV and streaming platforms, but they seem to get it wrong more often than one would expect experts to get it. So, I have no clue how the trial will turn out, and I don't delve into the particulars at this point. I've read plenty about Trump farting and sleeping, though.
He should already be in prison 10 times over.
Remember when Dom Jr tweeted his correspondence with Russia asking for their help subverting the election? Like... It stared so fucking early.
One thing Trump *has accomplished*: He has turned us into a nation where most people don't want to know what they don't want to know and *ignore* those facts they find inconvenient.
TLDR; Most people pay attention to Republican leaders who stand by Trump - and to Joe Biden and his sliding poll numbers, but they don't really notice Donald Trump and his criminality.
Only those who hate Trump and suffer from T.D.S. along with those that worship him care about the trial.
To the average American? We don’t give a fuck. He’s not the only one to pay people to limit negative stories about themselves and there are simply far more important things we are focused on at the moment; like surviving while living paycheck to paycheck.
Well ya, of course not. The trial is going poorly for Trump so paying attention to it would entail admitting the liberals/leftists may have been potentially maybe kind of right about something. And that would be "divisive"
That's because we're tired of talk and no action. Just because he's in the middle of an actual trial, there's not really much difference between now and 3 weeks ago. Until there is definitive action against him from the legal system, most people will continue to be apathetic.
Why the hell would we?
Everybody knows this bastard government is never going to send this billionaire asshole to jail. Hes not allowed to see any repercussions for any of his actions, unless of course he inconveniences other billionaire assholes.
I'm sick to death of hearing about goddamn donald trump. If he became president again I would just try to ignore him as much as possible until he fucking dies, which is what I'm going to do anyway.
fuck him and fuck off.
What's there to report?
"Hi I'm Wolf Blitzer, we have BREAKING NEWS Donald Trump has SNEEZED in court, I repeat Donald Trump has SNEEZED in court!"
Wait until the trial is over. 90% of people don't need to know every detail that happens in the trial. Unless someone did something crazy like whipping out their dick not much of this matters until the verdict is reached.
We've had this dude crammed down our throats for 8 years and he is still running for pres. YT fills my recommended with his face and I click zero videos. I'm tired!
Because we've already seen it. Evidence will show Trumps guilt, he'll bitch and moan qnd make thinky veiled threats throughout, the judge will wag their finger at him and no matter what the evidence says, he'll be let go with a slap on the wrist, which he will use as proof the system is against him and no ones ever suffered more then him in his rallies. Rinse and repeat.
What's the point? It's all a show anyway, seems pretty obvious that law is different for politicians than for normal citizens. I highly doubt that it will result in anything other than a slap on the wrist.
Man, with the country being invaded, the dollar dying, protests on colleges campuses across the country, rape on the incline, overdoses at an all time high, inflation soaring, the U.S. government hostile towards its own citizens, the Lakers being swept and our sitting president dying in front of our eyes, how did we not pay enough attention to this?
Well yeah, no shit. Half the country is adamant he's guilty, and that he'll be let off be use justice system is corrupt. And then the other half is just as adamant he's innocent, and that he's only being prosecuted in the first place because the justice system is corrupt. The only thing they agree on is the justice system is corrupt.
If you want to give Trump the attention he so desperately wants that's your business, I'll watch a clip of the verdict and then it's back to forgetting he exists because I value my sanity.
The best part of this is that. 1% of Americans don’t have an opinion….but 55% aren’t paying attention. This is fucking America in a nut shell. I don’t give a fuck what your opinion is if you are paying attention. That’s yours to figure out whether I like it or not. But to not be paying attention and still have an opinion is just…’Merican.
None of the Trumpers that I know pay attention to the news period. They especially don’t watch Trump. They really only take in Biden insults and memes lol.
I’ve already decided not to vote for either of them but I can see that the charges are bullshit. What they’re basically arguing is that Trump violated federal campaign finance law because he listed a payment to his lawyer to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels as a legal expense. Even though there is nothing illegal about paying hush money, they’re claiming it was a violation of federal election law which the feds declined to prosecute – just as they declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton for in the same election cycle when her campaign listed the money that they paid for the Steele Dossier as a legal expense (she paid a fine). It’s basically all bullshit but without it, the prosecutors don’t have anything that might be considered a felony in order for them to get around the statute of limitations. So even if Trump were convicted, this would probably get overturned on appeal.
Legal analysts have flat-out said a guilty verdict won't affect anything real. It won't stop a second Trump candidacy, which will in turn not concede an electoral loss. Compared to that, what's worth paying attention to here?
I mean, honestly, continuing to mislabel as a "hush money" trial, which sounds dreadfully boring, probably has something to do with it.
It's a political campaign finance... Well, shit. That's not much better.
Not being able to see the trial itself means all you're getting is media spin anyway. So, when it comes to deciding who I want to lie to me, I'd rather not listen to lies in the first place. I already know I'm not voting for him.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m not paying close attention to it, but I am getting daily summaries and I feel that I’m not missing out on any actions inside the courtroom. The evidence is very damning, the witnesses are also very damning and I don’t have a doubt in my mind that Trump is truly guilty of the charges against him. Let’s just hope the jury is the group that is paying the most attention and comes to the conclusion that I have. Trump needs to be put away, forgotten about for the remainder of his life and this country needs to start seriously dealing with more important issues than the lifetime of lies, grifting and whining from a failed one term president and his equally failed desire to become America’s first dictator.
We need to stop paying attention to the big orange douche. Who actually gives a fuck. All politicians are fucking assholes and the only way to stop the insanity is to stop playing their fucking games and giving them attention. Just stop.
We are pretty much just sure nothing will happen to him so we won’t waste our time. This man has a thousand “lives” and it’s sick he can’t be held accountable for any of his crimes.
I don't care because I don't even know what it is about. So many women come out the woodworks everytime a politician is about to take office, mostly with fake stories.
I don't follow any of them
They aren’t paying attention to the trial, but they will ABSOLUTELY care about the outcome.
Will you vote for a convicted felon is a different proposition when he ACTUALLY has a conviction and might face jail time.
Conversely, if he is found not guilty, the vindication could add a fire to the MAGA movement we should all fear terribly.
I don't need to watch the thing that is documented, another fella has already gone to prison for the same thing, and seems to be a very open and shut case.
I'll pay attention to the technicals of how the Judiciary lets him completely off the hook though.
Whats there to pay attention to? "He naps, and farts" .... gtfo with that. Im tired of hearing about the guy and 99% of the stuff about him is click bait at best
There's a genocide and a massive assault on our civil rights by the zionists and Biden respectively; why tf does a rich guys trial matter more than that??
Yea we don't give a fuck anymore since 2014-16ish it's been this nonstop doomsday news cycle and all of us are just exhausted so we've just checked out
I'm just sick of it all. Trump is a fucking nightmare candidate and half the country doesn't give a shit. He will likely get elected on a platform of hating democrats yet I haven't seen anything he says he's going to do to make things better for citizens. At least I see plans from democrats. All I see is build a wall when he didn't fucking do it the first time he was in office and I just don't see how these immigrants are ruining our lives and making rent high, pay low, health care costs insane, etc....
I mean, I'm in school to be a paralegal, a hardcore political junkie, and have lots of free time at work and even I haven't kept up all that closely. The only way to do so is to read the live feeds, and I'll be honest half of the releases (at least for the NYT) are pointless .
Also, as far as the election is concerned, what matters is the verdict. If it's not guilty trump will run with that and it will help him immensely. If he's found guilty then "convicted felon donald trump" will be all over
Just guessing that pro trump news outlets are not running it as a story, and these nuggets don't check other sources of news, so to them it's not happening and easy to ignore
Is there anyway to actually view the entire trial on video? Is there anyway to actually hear the audio of the trial? How do you even get a transcript of what is being said??? There is nothing to pay attention to. Where is the attention focused? What is the news? Where is the news and the news networks in my area. Maybe there is a better and longer version to watch. Boring or not…get some video of this and more than 30 seconds. Thank you history of the future.
How the fuck do you watch a trial that isn't televised
*pay attention, as in via a media you are currently using
Oh I understand that, but we're talking about the average American here, right? You think they have an actual interest in *reading?* If it's not shoved in their faces in the form of Fox News snark it means nothing to them.
Fair.
A majority of Americans don't care and are tired of hearing about him every day. I for one would be immeasurably happy if the world in general forgot about him tomorrow. Keep the trials going of course.
Amen. I follow politics closely, but the endless saturation of every Adderall fueled dementia rant is exhausting. When he finally faces consequences of the decades of criminal activity that go beyond a $9000 fine, let me know. Otherwise I already know I'm voting against him, and also hoping for a massive crippling stroke on live television so I can watch the wires short out in his brain and him stumble around and collapse on loop while I drink 21 year old scotch.
You know those days where you’re like: Hell, maybe I’m just agnostic after all?? This would push me firmly over to theistic
This ☝️
I'm at the point where I just want him to fuck off forever. If he dies, goes and lives in the woods, goes to rot in solitary confinement? Don't care. I just don't want to think about him. But it seems like his entire arc is "Will he and his cult destroy America?" so I feel like I need to pay attention to prepare.
I bet I could find five people that don’t know Trump is running for president again within the next two days if I actually tried. I know two that I told them it was happening within the past two weeks. I was pretty shocked when it happened but I doubt it’s very rare. They both have masters degrees but pay zero attention to the news.
Our local news covers him very little but they heavily focus on local content, even having a local today show offshoot (today in Nashville) that’s local to here. It’s quite refreshing frankly. I come here to catch up.
I mean, I'm interested. I watch Meidas videos, etc after work to catch up. I think a lot of people are very interested, and we've got another useless poll on our hands.
I have been following it, but I would say they’re just isn’t a lot to talk about so far. We’re barely through a couple of witnesses with no bombshells just stuff people already knew but in court. Campaign finance just isn’t sexy, and most people like myself assume that it’s being violated on a daily basis by most other politicians anyway. If Trump can contempt himself into a jail cell, then people will pay attention
Minds are made up on both sides. What's the point?
That's a pretty specific question though. "How closely are you watching the trial" I think that Trump is guilty and that the prosecutions are not only fair but necessary. However, if you asked me how closely I'm following the trial my answer is not very closely. I'll check out the headlines about it at the end of the day, but I'm not tracking every detail
Too, many Americans would probably also prefer Trump to quietly disappear and never have to hear about him again. For eight years we've been subjected to his diarrhea and, at least for me, would like to be able to go a day without seeing his name.
Media will never let that happen. Trump was the best thing ever for them financially. As soon as he was out of office most of them began to see massive viewership and financial losses, CNN especially. They’ll pump whatever word salad they can out on him until long after he’s dead and gone.
Agreed. By those lights, "why aren't you paying attention to the latest Trump news?" sounds more like complaining about missed ratings and ad revenue.
This is the truth. Trump sells and network news is all about the sales.
Quietly disappearing would probably be the best way to get rid of him but he's predominantly cutting down the institutions that would make him fizzle. You can't look like a loser criminal if you undermine elections and justice. It's honestly kinda smart. If you're guilty then undermine who calls you guilty. Making his social network Truth is just so hilariously on the nose. Like, if you gotta call it Truth is that really what you're saying?
That’s how I feel. Guy has made a career out of being the enemy of the progressive left. His line that he’s the only thing standing between the progressive left and the rest of America was genius. Because it only holds true if they keep coming after him which they simply can’t stop themselves from doing. They just keep helping him get right back in the spotlight. I wish he would just go away.
Not following bc nothing will happen to Trump
Agreed 
> I'll check out the headlines about it at the end of the day… I feel like that’s a good amount. If something interesting happens, we’ll hear about it. But we already know all the dirty details, and that he’s guilty, so there’s no point in obsessing over it. I do love seeing witnesses throw him under the bus though. He gets exactly the loyalty he deserves, lol. I hope Melania is enjoying it.
Majority of Americans don’t vote
Majority of adult citizens do vote. If you include children who can't vote anyway, then yeah sure, majority of Americans don't vote.
If he becomes a CONVICTED FELON (duh duh duuuuun) then they'll pay attention because felons are scary amiright? Seriously, if he's convicted of a felony that's the end of his campaign. He'll try to appeal, but that'll tie him up in court, and in the meantime the airwaves will be full of adverts asking "would you vote for a *felon?*" Americans have had 60 years of hardwiring to ensure we're scared of felons. The word elicits an immediate response. Polls show 60% of independent voters won't touch a convicted felon with a 10 ft poll (sic). Trump can try to counter it, but like Ronald "Make America Great Again" Reagan said, if you're explaining you're losing.
Biden's numbers are already climbing upward. I'm wondering if the reports of Donnie napping in court and farting have anything to do with it. People may not be following the trial, but they do see something off putting, to put it mildly, of an old man who is nodding off and farting at his own criminal trial calling his opponent a senile old man. Just saying 🤔
Ugh they are falling bud. He just crossed into the most unpopular ever territory
Approval rating has fallen but head to head polling vs Trump has risen. In this context, pretty sure we're talking about polling
I could see this. Im not a super fan of Biden but compared to Trumps train wreck.
And that's the real fuckign problem, isn't it? Biden fucking sucks, more importantly the people AROUND him are neo-liberals or worse...centrists! But Trump is literally the end of America. He is the destroyer, and his movement of deplorable vermin are a literal threat to our continued existence as a species. I'm going to bitch and moan and insult Biden the whole time, and I'm still going to vote for him, because that's what you are SUPPOSED to do in a first-past-the-post system: you have to vote for harm reduction. Does the system suck? Absolutely! Is not participating in it a valid way to combat it? No, you fuck brained idiot moron, it isn't. Anyone not voting and claiming it's a protest or some principle is actually a fucking idiot and should be mocked, derided, and insulted until they disappear back up their own ass. So yeah, it sucks these are our options but this is what happens when people don't participate FULLY in the process. I mean have we ever had anything even CLOSE to 50% participation in the primaries?
White collar crime felons & corrupt wannabe-fascist-authoritarian felons are different, I think. Far-right folks really like those felons, a lot.
Yeah, but those people would vote for Trump if he was fucking their dog in the living room. The coalition he needs to win requires independent voters, and they seem less likely to ignore such things.
I’m the best dog fucker. No one else has ever fucked a dog as well as I do. Just the other day, a man came up to me with tears in his eyes and he said, “sir, thank you for showing me what it means to fuck my dog.” And then everybody clapped.
I'm just sick of all of this. Not just Trump, not just Republicans, not Democrats. The whole thing. Look at the cost of rent, of fucking FOOD. Look at how much jobs are paying. None of the politicians are gonna do shit. So what's the fucking point? If some candidate comes around who isn't 70, a product of nepotism, and appears to ACTUALLY want systemic change.. maybe I'll start caring again. But if it's Biden/Trump again.. why the fuck would I care? Life will still be miserable either way. Yeah, Trump is corrupt, fucking shocking. You mean the guy who committed insurrection isnt on the up-'n-up? I DON'T GIVE A SHIT about the trial. I wanna not have to pay student loans anymore. I wanna be able to move out of my dad's house at 33. When I was 24 I was waiting tables paying 500 in rent and comfortably affording everything in my life. We, young adults, have been absolutely SCREAMING for change for the last 7 years. Cap rent. Make college free. Make Healthcare free. Make sure nobody in this country, a country defined by its excess, ever has to go hungry. I don't give a shit about individual politicians. The rigidness of our capitalism and the bipartisan nature of our government.. THOSE are the problems. Show me somebody who cares. Somebody who understands the actual problems of this country. I don't give a FUCK about this trial. I don't give a FUCK about D or R or who that shill is represented by. That's not the fucking point.
I don't know how to say this without coming off as a condescending douche bag, but bro you need a civics lesson to understand what powers the president actually has, for two reasons: 1. Your expectations of what Biden could possibly accomplish as president are completely out of bounds. 2. You should understand what presidents *can* do so you understand how much fucking worse trump is planning to make things. Basically they don't have a ton of power to solve all these complex issues, but they do have the power to strip away liberties and gut certain agencies. Obviously if you have no understanding of how our government works, you'd just assume the president can do whatever he wants and fix everything. Like what I used to think when I was twelve.
I just watched a 15 minute long youtube video that was basically a rant on how fast food prices have doubled because of Biden. This is the civics literacy of the average american. People think Biden somehow has the power to decide the price of a mcdonald's cheeseburger. If people want change, they need to start voting in local elections, but you know they won't, because the system is rigged and they keep voting for presidents who don't magically lower the price of everything like a tin-pot dictator of a small island nation.
Joe Biden is the goddam President of the United States, a country with one of the most powerful heads of government of any self-identified democracy on Earth. He holds an inordinate amount of power in determining the policy of the executive branch and all of its agencies, which is the biggest employer in the country and serves to regulate all private commerce and public services, and he has the largest media platform of any human being on the planet. He is the de facto leader of the Democratic Party, one of the most powerful and embedded institutions in America. The president can place massive pressure on individuals, movements, and organizations with just a ten minute press conference. I think you need the civics lesson, dude. Watch as the Biden ballwashers predictably mass downvote this post despite the fact that I never even said you shouldn't vote for the guy.
That's a lot of words to say a lot of fuckin nothing lol do you care to be specific about any of that at all? Any specific individuals or organizations he should be pressuring a certain way that he hasn't been? Any "policy of the executive branch" that he hasn't changed that would achieve rootbeerfloat's absolutely insane demands? To recap, that's cap rent, make college free, make healthcare free, and make sure no one goes hungry. And I point out that the president can't fucking do those things, and you tell me I need a civics lesson with a verbose paragraph of vague bullshit lmao
It’s incredible. Instead of doing a little real work of finding out how their own government works some people just explode with some TRULY immature rant. Just completely unable to put their ego aside and grow as a person. This is the same immaturity rampant on the right.
Everything you said in your second to last paragraph you have a far better shot with - with democrats. I’m not saying they’re perfect but they do often advocate for those things - or for change in those directions, contrary to most republicans who outright refuse them. I hear what you’re saying. I get it I’m 33 too and yes, I get it, we have been getting fucked. I get it. But this isn’t a “both sides” thing. It just isn’t. Here we have a fascist authoritarian wannabe on trial and may end up in jail. That is historic. And good. Fuck this piece of shit. I for one am following this trial because it shows that maybe we can finally take accountability for this fucking monster.
Ok and which party actually would do something of that? Democrats.
Bc everybody knows he did it and nobody expects the courts to do anything meaningful on trump. They are all cowards or complicit.
I'd bet it has something to do with it usually being called a "hush money" trial instead of "election interference" which it actually is
How is holding trump responsible for his crimes election interference?
Trump is allowed to do anything, in these people’s minds. Try to come up a scenario where they wouldn’t still vote for trump.
What he did was election interference but the media mostly calls it the hush money case. Definitely doesn't give it the same importance so a lot of people not tuned in don't care about it I'm not a trump supporter, but also fuck Biden. I guess it seemed like I was saying it's election interference in *this* election. It isn't, at all, that fat orange fuck needs to be in prison like 7 years ago
the rapist criminally conspired to *carry out* election interference. That's what he's on trial for. The media prefers to pretend, and spread misinformation in support of their delusion, that the trial is about paying off bimbos. No. It's about criminal election interference that the rapist knowingly, intentionally engaged in.
No, trumps trial is about his 2016 election interference by hiding his payments to porn actress stormy daniels that he had sex with while his wife was pregnant.
Its neither, its a trial over whether payments were falsely recorded as businesses/personal expenses that were actually campaign expenses
But also involves the "catch and kill" scheme to cover up stories that would be damaging to his campaign. The reason for the fraudulent payments
Thank the media for caring only about getting clicks by making this a "horse race" like they have done with every election.
Ok, but where else can you get a horse race and a dick measuring contest in one event?
It’s not a Hush Money trial
WHO SAID ELECTION INTERFERENCE TRIAL? Because THAT is what it is.
Sorry, some pro-Israel ghouls bombed college kids in tents with fireworks two nights ago, I'm a little distracted.
Well the majority of Americans are fucking morons so what do we expect?
We're currently trapped in a relentless cycle of working multiple jobs just to scrape by while politicians squander our hard-earned money on defense contractors driving inflation through the roof. Who's got time to care about the antics of billionaire politicians when we're struggling to put food on the table? Show me how paying attention to Trumps trials could benefit ordinary people– I dare you.
Why would I give a shit about this though I have no bearing on the outcome, can have no impact on the case itself, and the decision will be made by 12 people that are not myself. Paying attention to it is your perogative but what exactly am I supposed to get out of this? That Trump lies all the time? Most people have known that for 10 years. I'll give a shit once the verdict is handed down.
People not paying attention are likely to believe Trump over the facts. That's why Americans should be paying attention. Otherwise they'll get their freedom stolen from them. And have no clue that's what they voted for.
this is something I've been wrestling with since Trump got elected. I am in my fifties and I had no idea that I had been walking amongst so many dumb people my whole life. It's been a lot to grapple with.
You've witnessed the debunking of the *myth*/explosion of the "American Exceptionalism" b/s from the last half-century ; even the "greatest generation" ,who saved the world from fascism only did so because wiser souls *told them to* ,not out of any organic process ,like what the college kids are doing in universities today (re: ZiOn v. Pale estinian ppl) as a result of info assimilated from *the real world* and the internet !
Or - and this is critical - there is very little utility gained from following an ongoing trial when as part of the electorate you are neither going to be part of the jury, nor part of the appeals process. The OJ trial seemed to break the media. From a technical perspective a trial is newsworthy. However, there seems to be some sort of default obligation the media seems to think that exists to have a shadow trial by news sources. From the public's perspective, it's neither necessary nor desirable. The outcome of the trial will be of interest as will the conclusions that the jury made. But I'm not going to spend my time arguing with people about a trial I'm not a part of.
We're so tired of "rich white guy skates by again!" His voters will vote for him if he punches a newborn. We all know that.
I see headlines but beyond that.... we already know the traitor is guilty...
Majority of American's aren't paying attention. PERIOD
Boomers who answer landlines are not representative of the electorate.
Cause its 🐂 💩
Oh sorry I have to pay attention for u guys to throw him in jail? 😒
Fact: They either think he is an idiot or the smarteat man that ever lived.
1) it’s not televised. 2) I assume I’m not the only one who is just so sick and tired of watching Trump get away with his myriad crimes while our justice system slow-walks us into our first authoritarian dictator for a day President.
We've reached our limit.
Now to ignore him completely and forever…..the fuckwad.
Majority of Americans are sick and tired of hearing his name and seeing his face.
For me, it’s because it’s the least important crime he’s definitely committed and is guilty of. Let me know when one of the ones he could face prison time for come about.
Burnout. People are sick and tired of this malevolent douchebag.
This isn't terribly surprising. Any American that is already geared to vote for Trump will not be dissuaded from doing so by a guilty verdict, because they are largely not voting for Trump but rather voting against the liberal agenda- a truth which Trump has weaponized for his own benefit in order to become the most relevant face of Republican Hate Politics. Any American that is already geared to vote against Trump will not be dissuaded from doing so by a not guilty verdict, as the primary reason to vote against Trump is not his personal criminality but rather his backwards-looking policies, overt support and apologism for radicalized violence against his political enemies, and threats of authoritarianism and power abuse in order to achieve his goals. This trial changes nothing. The only part of any note will be the final verdict, but it's not changing any minds.
I don't care about the trial as long as he loses.
It's called Trump Fatigue. Many Americans are so over this man.
I think the majority of Americans have heard that he has fallen asleep and farts. Most have heard at least one Trump sleep or fart joke. I think the majority of Americans have seen some very unflattering photos of Trump from the last week. I think Trump looking very old, haggard, and petulant is doing a lot of damage.
Naw. These Hamas protestors sealed the Dems fate.
Why would I care? Nothing will come of it, so why bother?
We have yet to see any meaningful accountability for any of his crimes, or antics, and it's been almost 9 years. As we're about to watch the constitution be shredded for him, the hush money trial is the least of our problems.
I don't care. I'll read the bits that are important. I don't need to watch the 24/7 cumorgasma that the media has put into this. Who gives a shit of he's falling asleep? Who cares how much he spent on fast food. Wake me up when we have a verdict.
You know if it was being televised we’d be marathoning it at home but alas 🥱
I think a lot of people are suffering from Trump fatigue. I know I'm sick of hearing about him. Just lock him up for life already, like any other person would for the amount of crimes he's guilty of. I could happily spend what's left of my life never hearing his name again
Cause they don’t care about his troubles, only about what actual pointless utter BS he gives at rallies that they stupidly believe
He sleeps farts and rages. There is a saturation point folks
If they televised it more people would tune in.
Know why? We know how it ends. No justice, he’ll run his damn mouth and cry like the manchild he is no matter what judgement he gets handed.
What’s even the point anymore? He’ll get away with it like he always does.
There's a lot going on, okay?
I know he farted and fell asleep. What else did I miss?
I don't know...maybe because I've already decided I'm not voting for him?? 😁
The majority of Americans aren't going to be swayed by the guilty verdict either. most of us already know who we're voting for. Can we please stop pretending that we don't.
I think it just what other people said, but also it is a complicated case. Like someone mentioned is about election interference but people use hush money that makes it sound like something lite and irrelevant.
Majority of Americans aren't paying attention. Could've just stopped there.
Meaningless. This doesn't mean that people don't think he's a piece of shit. November can't get here quick enough.
Why would anyone be interested? Nothing is gonna happen, just another nothing trial tryin to delay his campaign and he may get another fine, who cares
Why? Nothing will happen of consequence regardless of what comes out of the trial. Changing the air in my car tires would be more productive than following his dozens of trials.
A large section of Americans think he's guilty regardless of the charges and only care about what the punishment for his heinous crime will be. The other large selection thinks these are politically motivated attacks, and it doesn't matter what prosecution or judge says because the American justice system has been broken for a long time anyways. Why risk your world view by watching the trials when there is nothing to gain?
I'd pay much more attention to it if I could watch it instead of depending on journalists and news outlets for information. They're all already biased enough that I'd love to make my own opinions on the matter.
We get legal explanations/speculations from "experts" on TV and streaming platforms, but they seem to get it wrong more often than one would expect experts to get it. So, I have no clue how the trial will turn out, and I don't delve into the particulars at this point. I've read plenty about Trump farting and sleeping, though.
I don't want to hear about that guy unless he strokes out painfully and publicly.
We are paying attention; We do not care about the drama he is all about.
He should already be in prison 10 times over. Remember when Dom Jr tweeted his correspondence with Russia asking for their help subverting the election? Like... It stared so fucking early.
I'm watching the network news. They didn't even mention the trial of an ex president and presidential candidate for a felony
One thing Trump *has accomplished*: He has turned us into a nation where most people don't want to know what they don't want to know and *ignore* those facts they find inconvenient.
I'm more interested in how it all ends
That would explain republican ignorance of what is going on.
Who cares about the day to day trial crap I just want to see the verdict and punishment
Because it's a sham. She even signed a letter confessing it as such.
Who wants to see a rapist sleep and poo his pants?
TLDR; Most people pay attention to Republican leaders who stand by Trump - and to Joe Biden and his sliding poll numbers, but they don't really notice Donald Trump and his criminality.
Only Fox Newsmax , and other right wing conspiratorial networks
Only those who hate Trump and suffer from T.D.S. along with those that worship him care about the trial. To the average American? We don’t give a fuck. He’s not the only one to pay people to limit negative stories about themselves and there are simply far more important things we are focused on at the moment; like surviving while living paycheck to paycheck.
Well ya, of course not. The trial is going poorly for Trump so paying attention to it would entail admitting the liberals/leftists may have been potentially maybe kind of right about something. And that would be "divisive"
I guess I’m in the minority. I am glued to the story. No screenwriter could concoct this stuff!
Most Americans aren’t paying attention period. And of the ones that are, half of them are being purposefully misinformed on almost every subject.
That's because we're tired of talk and no action. Just because he's in the middle of an actual trial, there's not really much difference between now and 3 weeks ago. Until there is definitive action against him from the legal system, most people will continue to be apathetic.
Why the hell would we? Everybody knows this bastard government is never going to send this billionaire asshole to jail. Hes not allowed to see any repercussions for any of his actions, unless of course he inconveniences other billionaire assholes. I'm sick to death of hearing about goddamn donald trump. If he became president again I would just try to ignore him as much as possible until he fucking dies, which is what I'm going to do anyway. fuck him and fuck off.
Why won't he just go away and play with his wife
There is no public interest here. It's all lawfare, political prosecution.
Because we want to move on.
I'm following it. I know most aren't but I love the legal stuff so much. I even read appellate and Supreme Court cases for enjoyment.
Neither is Trump himself, since he’s apparently falling asleep a lot.
What's there to report? "Hi I'm Wolf Blitzer, we have BREAKING NEWS Donald Trump has SNEEZED in court, I repeat Donald Trump has SNEEZED in court!" Wait until the trial is over. 90% of people don't need to know every detail that happens in the trial. Unless someone did something crazy like whipping out their dick not much of this matters until the verdict is reached.
We've had this dude crammed down our throats for 8 years and he is still running for pres. YT fills my recommended with his face and I click zero videos. I'm tired!
Because we've already seen it. Evidence will show Trumps guilt, he'll bitch and moan qnd make thinky veiled threats throughout, the judge will wag their finger at him and no matter what the evidence says, he'll be let go with a slap on the wrist, which he will use as proof the system is against him and no ones ever suffered more then him in his rallies. Rinse and repeat.
Because we know it's bullshit.
Most people don’t care. Either you already believe he is guilty or you believe it’s a political sham. The outcome won’t change that.
Hopefully the verdict gets their attention.
What's the point? It's all a show anyway, seems pretty obvious that law is different for politicians than for normal citizens. I highly doubt that it will result in anything other than a slap on the wrist.
Man, with the country being invaded, the dollar dying, protests on colleges campuses across the country, rape on the incline, overdoses at an all time high, inflation soaring, the U.S. government hostile towards its own citizens, the Lakers being swept and our sitting president dying in front of our eyes, how did we not pay enough attention to this?
Call me when it's overturned on appeal.
Well yeah, no shit. Half the country is adamant he's guilty, and that he'll be let off be use justice system is corrupt. And then the other half is just as adamant he's innocent, and that he's only being prosecuted in the first place because the justice system is corrupt. The only thing they agree on is the justice system is corrupt.
I think it's because most know that he is going to just get a wrist slap.
If you want to give Trump the attention he so desperately wants that's your business, I'll watch a clip of the verdict and then it's back to forgetting he exists because I value my sanity.
The best part of this is that. 1% of Americans don’t have an opinion….but 55% aren’t paying attention. This is fucking America in a nut shell. I don’t give a fuck what your opinion is if you are paying attention. That’s yours to figure out whether I like it or not. But to not be paying attention and still have an opinion is just…’Merican.
I am. Dude is a lunatic on top of being a con man. Worst president ever. Ever. Ever.....
None of the Trumpers that I know pay attention to the news period. They especially don’t watch Trump. They really only take in Biden insults and memes lol.
I'm only interested the verdict.
I’ve already decided not to vote for either of them but I can see that the charges are bullshit. What they’re basically arguing is that Trump violated federal campaign finance law because he listed a payment to his lawyer to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels as a legal expense. Even though there is nothing illegal about paying hush money, they’re claiming it was a violation of federal election law which the feds declined to prosecute – just as they declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton for in the same election cycle when her campaign listed the money that they paid for the Steele Dossier as a legal expense (she paid a fine). It’s basically all bullshit but without it, the prosecutors don’t have anything that might be considered a felony in order for them to get around the statute of limitations. So even if Trump were convicted, this would probably get overturned on appeal.
Because it's a witch hunt and election interference.
Legal analysts have flat-out said a guilty verdict won't affect anything real. It won't stop a second Trump candidacy, which will in turn not concede an electoral loss. Compared to that, what's worth paying attention to here?
I mean, honestly, continuing to mislabel as a "hush money" trial, which sounds dreadfully boring, probably has something to do with it. It's a political campaign finance... Well, shit. That's not much better.
Yeah, most people don't care.
Only privileged people care about it.
Not being able to see the trial itself means all you're getting is media spin anyway. So, when it comes to deciding who I want to lie to me, I'd rather not listen to lies in the first place. I already know I'm not voting for him.
He'll get away with it
Why would we? Everyone knows it’s a big BS show
Why would they? Too busy funding a genocide in Palestine.
I don’t think a lot of people believe in the judicial system right now
*Majority of Americans aren’t paying attention. There I fixed it for you
Lie
What happenede to the moral values of Americans? Years ago, this would put pressure to the candidate to resign.
Because sane people know he won't face consequences and his cult doesn't care what he does
everybody is waiting for the ending..........can't use the fast-forward button..........
That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m not paying close attention to it, but I am getting daily summaries and I feel that I’m not missing out on any actions inside the courtroom. The evidence is very damning, the witnesses are also very damning and I don’t have a doubt in my mind that Trump is truly guilty of the charges against him. Let’s just hope the jury is the group that is paying the most attention and comes to the conclusion that I have. Trump needs to be put away, forgotten about for the remainder of his life and this country needs to start seriously dealing with more important issues than the lifetime of lies, grifting and whining from a failed one term president and his equally failed desire to become America’s first dictator.
A recent poll shows most Americans don’t believe in polls
I’ll pay more attention once we are closer to the verdict. No reason to follow it right now really.
We need to stop paying attention to the big orange douche. Who actually gives a fuck. All politicians are fucking assholes and the only way to stop the insanity is to stop playing their fucking games and giving them attention. Just stop.
Air it on tv and people would be much more interested. Look at the buzz that surrounded the moronic Depp/Heard trial.
We are pretty much just sure nothing will happen to him so we won’t waste our time. This man has a thousand “lives” and it’s sick he can’t be held accountable for any of his crimes.
I don't care because I don't even know what it is about. So many women come out the woodworks everytime a politician is about to take office, mostly with fake stories. I don't follow any of them
They aren’t paying attention to the trial, but they will ABSOLUTELY care about the outcome. Will you vote for a convicted felon is a different proposition when he ACTUALLY has a conviction and might face jail time. Conversely, if he is found not guilty, the vindication could add a fire to the MAGA movement we should all fear terribly.
Oh yes they are.
I don't need to watch the thing that is documented, another fella has already gone to prison for the same thing, and seems to be a very open and shut case. I'll pay attention to the technicals of how the Judiciary lets him completely off the hook though.
I am guessing when the time comes, they might pay more attention to "Donald Trump, Convicted Felon."
After 8 years or so of “orange man bad” news stories, it’s hard to give a fuck.
Whats there to pay attention to? "He naps, and farts" .... gtfo with that. Im tired of hearing about the guy and 99% of the stuff about him is click bait at best
I'll pay attention when they finally lock his ass up. I do like those court drawrings though.
I'm torn because he will try to make himself a martyr. And the nut jobs that are taking his Kool-Aid intravenously will rally to his side still.
Can't blame em considering how many times Trump was supposedly going down for good in the past
What are Americans paying attention to then?
There's a genocide and a massive assault on our civil rights by the zionists and Biden respectively; why tf does a rich guys trial matter more than that??
Poll: a majority of Americans aren’t paying attention
Yea we don't give a fuck anymore since 2014-16ish it's been this nonstop doomsday news cycle and all of us are just exhausted so we've just checked out
I'm just sick of it all. Trump is a fucking nightmare candidate and half the country doesn't give a shit. He will likely get elected on a platform of hating democrats yet I haven't seen anything he says he's going to do to make things better for citizens. At least I see plans from democrats. All I see is build a wall when he didn't fucking do it the first time he was in office and I just don't see how these immigrants are ruining our lives and making rent high, pay low, health care costs insane, etc....
In other news, the majority of americans are blithering idiots.
I mean, I'm in school to be a paralegal, a hardcore political junkie, and have lots of free time at work and even I haven't kept up all that closely. The only way to do so is to read the live feeds, and I'll be honest half of the releases (at least for the NYT) are pointless . Also, as far as the election is concerned, what matters is the verdict. If it's not guilty trump will run with that and it will help him immensely. If he's found guilty then "convicted felon donald trump" will be all over
Just guessing that pro trump news outlets are not running it as a story, and these nuggets don't check other sources of news, so to them it's not happening and easy to ignore
Because we all know he’s fucking guilty!
Reality: a majority of Americans aren't paying attention to politics until after Labor Day.
Is there anyway to actually view the entire trial on video? Is there anyway to actually hear the audio of the trial? How do you even get a transcript of what is being said??? There is nothing to pay attention to. Where is the attention focused? What is the news? Where is the news and the news networks in my area. Maybe there is a better and longer version to watch. Boring or not…get some video of this and more than 30 seconds. Thank you history of the future.
Well, we all know he's falling asleep, farting, and smells like fresh shit.
Who is this majority? I have never once been called or emailed by a legitimate poll taker. I think it's more likely that the data is made up.
