Trump Convicted!

...

 

The old saying, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". springs to mind.

 

...

 

I don’t think @Tishomingo is a sexual predator….

 

So does he go on the list of sexual predators and have to inform his neighbors?

 

I'm not without sin but I'm not a rapist either. Excuse me while I grab a stone.

 

Lmao!!

 

if only it was a conviction instead of just a judgement, unfortunately it means next to nothing

 

That remains to be seen. Try to think positive. Don't forget he faces other criminal charges as well.

 

...

 

True, but they'd enjoy him having to do it anyway.

TRUMP: "Hello, I'm Donald Trump, I'm your neighbor and I'm required to tell you that I'm a convicted sex offender".
NEIGHBORS: (laughing hysterically) "Well Duh!!!"

 

I wish I knew the answers, but a conversation I had one evening over here in the UK sticks firmly in my mind.
Trump had based his manifesto on making the US great again by restoring industry and providing jobs, which would provide the tax revenue needed. We all know that the underlying problem was (and still is) the import of goods from China destroying US manufacturing, while sending US money along a one way street.
The problem was, that his proposed taxes would have derailed the gravy train of the corporations who financially support the US government, sending some of them into bankruptcy.
This was where the country lost it's way, with fake and news not relevant to his position as president capturing the headlines.

Trump was suddenly accused of fondling a woman some time in the past, while companies such as Levi's making billions without manufacturing a single item in the US was brushed under the carpet.

This same situation is also destroying the economy of the UK and other western countries. How can we all be so blind and easily distracted by the media.

PS.
From an article in the news last week, the UK seem to be slowly waking up to the problem. LOL
Probably, too little, too late.

Despite all his bad points, I still think that Trump saw through all of what you accurately described.
Since the greedy corporations fund the government, presidents seem powerless.
While Clinton and Obama helped the people, they did nothing to address the root cause of the problem. China were still free to export to the US and then invest the dollars in the country.
The only solution is to ban the imports and make foreign ownership of property and businesses illegal.

Here in the UK, China have bought a company who I worked for, so now own around 400 premises valued at £31 million EACH. All the profits from these buildings go straight back to China, while their value continues to rise.

 

From your reply, it is fairly obvious that I am not aware of what has improved.
Sadly, the media cannot be trusted to paint a complete picture.
We have at last seemed to wake up to what is going on in the East, You can see my shock in my reply to Zen a few minutes ago.
Regarding cars, the UK were no better. I bought my first Audi in 1969 and have owned Audi VW vehicles ever since. My last VW lasted 19 years and 285,000 miles on its original clutch, despite living in London. Perhaps because I service our vehicles and own the computer diagnostics. LOL
