First polling since Trump's conviction shows a majority thinks it was decided fairly and Biden moves into the lead but it's still basically a tied race.
The hope for Democrats is that their lead will increase more once it moves from registered voters to likely voters. Most early polls are surveying everyone without factoring in whether they're actually intending to vote.
- they need to drastically decrease border control and let more bodies inGnash
- I hope Trump wins, just for the lols.PhanLo
- everything they've done to bring him down has back-firedGnash
- taking a criminal to court is what should happen surely? He is a criminal Gnash?PhanLo
- What have "they" done that backfired? I guess you can rule out the nearly half billion dollars he owes and the 34 felony convictions.CyBrainX
- And what's the alternative. Giving him more free passes? How did that work until this year when they finally stopped?CyBrainX
- he deserved jail the moment he mocked that diasabled journalist in front of a camera.... fuck this guy... disgusting piece of flippin sh*t should rott in jail..neverscared
- "everything"Gnash
- “They” investigated his role in Jan 6 and made it clear he was responsible. Thats about it.monospaced
- Gnash as much as I'd like to believe Trump is invincible I remember you said the same thing about the 2020 election. "No one can beat Trump."yuekit
- He’s easily beat. People just need an cognizant alternative to vote forGnash
- Instead of trying to destroy him, perhaps offer something worth voting forGnash
- "Trying to destroy him" is a little over-wraught isn't it? Trump actually did bribe the porn star to suppress information before the 2016 election, lie aboutyuekit
- his business valuations, defame a woman he sexually assaulted and raped, and try unsuccessfully to carry out a coup after losing an election.yuekit
- Isn't it peak victimization to say that the person who did all these things is being unfairly targeted?yuekit
- did I say he's unfairly targeted? no. just that this strategy is useless. much like your argumentGnash
- It's not a strategy. He actually committed those crimes.yuekit

“The enemy within”, this growing obsession with Trump.
Aurélia END France Media Agency
A concept with almost religious overtones, reminiscent of the raging anti-communism of the 1950s: for several months, Donald Trump has mentioned in his speeches an “enemy from within” as vague as it is sinister.
“There is Russia, there is China. But with an intelligent president, it’s actually quite easy to manage,” he said, for example, in an interview broadcast on Fox on Sunday.
“The enemy from within, on the other hand, they are going to destroy this country,” added the 77-year-old Republican tycoon, presidential candidate in November, in his first interview since a New York jury found him found guilty.
In November, during a rally in New Hampshire, in the northeast of the United States, Donald Trump said: “the threat from external forces is much less worrying, dangerous and serious than the threat from within ".
In the same speech, he used the term “vermin” to designate his political enemies, being criticized for drawing on the vocabulary of the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century.
In February, during an evangelical convention in Nashville, Tennessee, the former president did it again: “It is the people inside our country who are the most dangerous,” adding: “To emerge victorious from This fight, as with the battles of the past, we need the hand of the Lord. »
In a recent interview with Time , the former businessman, multiple defendants, used the same rhetoric: “The enemy from within, very often, is much more dangerous for our country than the external enemies that are the China, Russia and others. »
McCarthyBut who is this “enemy from within” that the billionaire designates to the vindictiveness of his supporters, and to whom he attributes the worst intentions?
“It is not only directed against [democratic president] Joe Biden, there are also more and more threats against the judicial system, judges, prosecutors,” notes Rebecca Gill, who teaches political science at the University of Nevada.
During his speeches, Donald Trump accuses this “enemy from within”, in bulk, of persecuting him, but also of wanting to open the floodgates to illegal immigration, increase taxes, undermine traditional values...
“This resonates with what we have heard in the past from fascist and authoritarian governments,” notes the academic.
The term “enemy from within” appeared with a bang in American political life in 1950, in a speech which revealed to the general public a certain Joseph McCarthy, senator from Wisconsin.
His name is associated with what has been called the "witch hunt", a hunt for communist sympathizers in the American administration and, more broadly, in all sectors of society.
According to Leonard Glass, a psychiatrist who participated in a collective work entitled “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump”, published in 2017, the concept as used by the Republican candidate has the main objective of inflaming his supporters.
“Army of God”It is “a repetitive invocation which stirs up suspicion against all those whose views are different, and which makes them responsible for all evils. They are not seen as compatriots deserving of respectful debate, but as vile usurpers,” he analyzes.
Victoria Johnson, professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Missouri, distinguishes behind this figure of the “enemy within” a binary message intended for the Christian nationalist right: “Either you are with God or you are with Satan . »
“It’s an electoral strategy,” she says, noting that Donald Trump himself was “clearly not a religious person.”
She recalls, for example, that a former national security adviser to the Republican, retired general Michael Flynn, organized a "ReAwaken America Tour", intended to raise an "army of God ".
During these meetings, homosexuality, immigration and progressive ideologies are violently criticized, while Donald Trump is presented as the first defender of Christianity.
One of the ex-president's sons, Eric Trump, chose a religious term to react to the guilty verdict pronounced last week in New York: he felt that his father was becoming a “martyr”.

"Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company."
- would be on point if he did bribe them, doing something criminal, and still getting convicted 34/34 :DNutter
- Probably all the cheques will bouncePhanLo
- Gonna be hilarious watching his house of cards burn when he loses in Nov. All these suckers will be torched.formed
- I saw this yesterday. I don't know why but I was surprised. Now, that he's more vulnerable without his crime family in congress protecting him...CyBrainX
- there's no telling how many other cases will come up. I know all the cynics think he's invincible but I don't see him not dying in prison.CyBrainX

- Burn it all down! Woohoo!PhanLo
- Yes of course this would happen.nb
- Democrats pretend to be innocent, but they OFTEN push the line of what is generally accepted in politics and then...nb
- ... they whine and moan when the Republicans steal their playbook.nb
- Another Trump ex-con. He might be the worst of them all. I'm not even sure if he's out of prison. It's so hard to keep track of this crime family.CyBrainX
- he looks like a sentient bollock grown in a bottle of whiskeyPhanLo
- he looks like if testicular cancer was turned inside out and made into a muppetjbasnight
- @jbasnight hahahahaPhanLo
- @nb, your false equivalency is straight out of Tucker Carlson's playbook.CyBrainX
- Bannon is actually headed to prison. I think he's going through appeals now but he's supposed to serve a few months in prison like Peter Navarro did.yuekit
- For refusing to cooperate with the January 6th investigation.yuekit
- It’s not false equivalency. I’m not even suggesting any form of equivalency. You can’t just apply terms to anythingnb
- Also please note that the NYT is using Bannon but is clearly saying he is “one of many republicans”nb
- Bannon is a scumbag of the highest order. But even if he died tomorrow, this escalation of politics will not fizzle.nb
- For the record, I believe Trump should be charged with treason for J6 and he should be banned from all public office.nb
- If Trump commits a crime, he should be charged for it. Doesn't have to be treason.yuekit
- And if Republicans react by trying to launch politically motivated cases against Democrats I don't think that's turn out very well for them.yuekit
- Ok. Prosecute a democratic leader. Bring actual evidence and charges that can hold up in court. Go ahead. What’s stopping you?monospaced
- For what? Seriously? If they had something they would have brought it years ago.monospaced
- They’ll find something.nb
- Again, just saying we should try to send Trump to jail for J6, and for stealing classified docs. But not for this relatively minor campaign finance fraudnb
