It’s no-holds-barred banana republic stuff now: Trump indicted by Manhattan grand jury

The indictment comes in a case centered on a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the closing days of the 2016 presidential campaign. Daniels claimed she slept with the married Trump in 2006, a claim the former president has denied. Trump had classified his reimbursement of the payout as a legal expense.

Cernovich notes: DeSantis is listening to the wrong people.

Update: Well, he’s listening to the right people now.

Glenn Beck: “There’s going to be 100 million people that will walk on broken glass and through fire to vote for someone other than this corrupt banana republic administration”

  1. Whatever the charges, a NYC jury might convict Trump.

    An appeal will likely be successful.

    What a mess. Will the voting public see this for the political persecution this is?

    Someone suggested that Trump will be indicted for removing a label from a pillow in 2017.

  2. It worked in Brazil and in Israel. Bolnasaro and Netanyahu are both languishing in jail, alone and friendless.

    …oh wait….

    1. Bare knuckle round indeed.

      Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.

  3. Stormy Dan recently denied the whole affair happened in a written public statement anyways.

    How can this even be a ‘crime’

    1. Vag
      “Anyone can type out a letter and sign it.”
      Still legal tender in a court of law!

  4. Nonsense. The American people can smell FRAUDULENT prosecution a MILE away. And how ironic … this news is announced on the very DAY the “Q-Anon Shaman” is immediately released from jail for “wrongful prosecution”. What was “wrong”? The J6 Banana Republic LIARS withheld exculpatory evidence. This is the game plan of the Marxist Democrat Party. They have no morals. They reject God. They don’t give a shit about the Law or the US Constitution. Look it up … this is another case of “By Any Means Necessary”. These leftists are unhinged and insane.

    As Kate says … PDJT will become more powerful than these Marxists could ever imagine … and his skyrocketing poll numbers bear out this inevitable progression.

    1. Do these dumb bastards not realize that what they are supposedly inditing Trump for has already been decided and was not a crime. Man people are stupid.

      1. The criminals who will be exposed if Trump takes power will not be any more exposed if they loose this case. If they gave a fig for getting caught cheating they wouldn’t be doing this. They own the DOJ, the FBI and most of the judges and if they loose, there is always arkanside.

  5. So what are the odds that he gets arrested and is held without bail because he’s deemed a flight risk by the New York judge. That way he can’t hold any rallies, which prevents him from running a campaign for 2024. Don’t think it could happen, well it wouldn’t surprise me for one minute about how desperate the Democrats are. This makes the Reich courts run by Roland Freisler in the Hitler regime look like pikers. The Democrats have just lowered the bar of American justice and place it six feet under at Arlington.

    1. This is not a far-fetched possibility in light of what Dems and the deep state have shown of themselves in the last 7 years. If I were Trump, I’d consider the DeSantis extradition policy thoughtfully.

    2. He will be the first prisoner with Secret Service guards. At least, he won’t commit suicide in jail. Seriously, he will be released on his own recognizance.

  6. “The end of Trump. “

    I’m more inclined to believe they just martyred him. I read something recently wherein they noted something like 60% of Americans thought prosecuting Trump wasn’t a good idea.

  7. Its Show-Time and as the venerable Ed Sullivan used to say ‘ And to-night we have a really big shoe (show) ‘

  8. Told Yah.
    The Demon Rats are completely nuts.
    They believe their own fairy tales.
    And this last attempt to manufacture a conviction will also fail..

    But as a cloak for the coming election fraud,this is perfect.
    The Just Us System of Demon Rat Enclave ,New York, will drag their “Theatre of a court” out for months,well into the 2024 Election.
    Push polls will be manufactured,citing “Criminal Trump’s slumping public support”.
    And the same techniques seen these last 3 federal elections will be used.
    As the “Polls” are cited as evidence that voters could not support Trump..

    As this fiasco blows up,Trump will campaign on “So innocent,even Kangaroo Courts can’t convict him”.
    Baiting and mocking the Demon Rats until they attempt to murder him..again.
    I think he had better send a body double to sit in jail,because he would be suicided if helpless in Demon Hands..
    The coming Trump campaign writes itself after this.
    Our enemies proudly self identify as Trump’s enemies.
    And Donald Trump’s personality,past business practises and life style no longer matter..
    Either you support the Insane Uni-Party,or you support what they so obviously fear,loath and recoil from..Evil Orange Bad Man..
    Sure hope we are not being played again.
    Great Entertainment.

  9. Not my theory but what do you think: The Deep State Leftards have instigated this phoney prosecution, knowing fully well that it amp up Trump’s base. Why? So as to deter DeSantis, who they consider a bigger threat.

    1. Robert … you’re playing 4d chess … while the rest of us are barking at the Moon

    2. “Not my theory but what do you think: The Deep State Leftards have instigated this phoney prosecution, knowing fully well that it amp up Trump’s base. Why? So as to deter DeSantis, who they consider a bigger threat.”

      That may also be why he gets “endorsed” by Soros, Schwab, RINOS and others (despite acting *against* everything they seem to stand for). I remember Hillary being “endorsed” by a KKK leader in 2016…same type of ‘false flag’ tactic?

      Anyway, I’m laughing at this latest attack on Trump. Let’s see if I have this straight:

      1) Trump didn’t actually do what they are accusing him of

      2) It wasn’t a crime even if he had done it

      3) Statute of limitations had run out even if the above two facts weren’t true

      4) Other justice departments had already looked into it and decided that there was no crime

      (did I miss anything?)

      These people..they just don’t get it. How did they even rise to the positions they are in now? Watch for Trump’s poll numbers to go through the roof.

        1. “you left out the chief witness is a known perjurer and convicted criminal…”

          Oops, yeah, you’re right. Also that Stormy Daniels a bit of a loon, who believes that her house is haunted by a “tentacled thing”…

  10. FFS!!
    Trump is a buffoon, a lying dick and it is pathetic that you defenders of The Great Orange Ranga Tang refuse to accept that plain fact.
    You all need to give your heads a shake.
    And oh, did I mention before that he is also a delusional dolt? He makes our Trudeau look like a genius. And that’s saying a lot.

    1. Yes and Biden and Clinton and Kamala Harris are all so very much better people than he. Such a shame that so doggone many people in the USA can’t see that and express that as clearly as you have. .

      1. @JohnPeg:
        Actually, I have very low opinions of those three you mention. It is scary that this is the best the USA can come up with. Another reason to fear for America’s decline and Chinese ascendancy.

    2. I know right?? What a stooge..way better to be china’s puppet. Biden and Trudeau have been getting paid the hush money, not paying it out!

    3. Trump is a buffoon, a lying dick and it is pathetic that you defenders?!

      that level of argument doesn’t even rise to the level of being wrong!

      1. @Tully:
        It was not meant as an ‘argument’. It is a statement of fact.
        BTW, I forgot to include ‘silly clown’ as one of the apt descriptions.

    4. Turn off CBC, they seem to have taken over that thing you formerly used as a brain and now use as a regurgitator.

  11. Whatever you may think of him, whatever his flaws, Donald Trump is one of those rare men who leave their imprint on history. He is a greater man by far than his enemies, and stands out all the more because this is a time in history where there is a singular lack of strength of character or will to greatness among the world’s elite. This won’t break him. Only death can remove him from the world’s stage.

    He joins other singular personalities like Churchill, Cochrane, Wellington and Nelson in being somehow larger than his peers.

    Remember that Lord Cochrane was indicted – and convicted – for fraud on the stock exchange and dismissed from the navy in spite of his evident innocence. The prosecutor in his case and his supporters were reduced to writing pamphlets justifying their actions, while Cochrane went on to hoist his flag as an admiral.

    Donald Trump may never become president again, but he will go on to become a powerful figure in United States history regardless of what happens over the next few months. He simply has more energy and a stronger will than his opponents. You don’t have to like him to recognize this. Strong men always stand out among the weak.

    1. “Whatever you may think of him, whatever his flaws, Donald Trump is one of those rare men who leave their imprint on history.”

      My thoughts exactly. He may have no self-control and the maturity level of a 16-year-old, but he did do some great things. Could have done even more if he could have controlled his ego long enough to have acknowledged reality more often.

  12. We’ve got him now!!
    But we must be careful, CTV is reporting dRumpf is going to weaponize this.

  13. If … if … the $130k was paid to SILENCE Stormy Daniels … NEWSFLASH !! This is done ALL THE TIME. It’s called a shakedown. Stormy MAY have threatened to embarrass Trump. NEWSFLASH! This is how Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and BLM operate. They THREATEN to call you a “racist” corporation unless you pay them off. $130k? That’s chump change in the arena of shakedowns.

    https://www.breitbart.com/social-justice/2023/03/14/black-lives-matter-movement-received-nearly-83-billion-from-corporations/

    And we haven’t even begun the rounds of “reparations” … first to the black radicals … then to the poor put-upon Native Americans … then to the LGBTQqueersAI2s+/- who were “bullied” (read: ignored) in middle school.

    1. Kenji.

      Remember Congress & the Senate have done the same too, but they used our money instead.
      Release (all) the names.

  14. The US has officially become a banana republic.
    There was a movie from either Brasi or Chile or Argentina in the 60’s of the past century that they liked to show in a communist country about corruption of the ruling class.
    What you saw and heard today follows the script of some 80 years ago in the banana belt actually showed this exact program.

  15. The US is a totally diseased polity — no institution can be trusted — total corruption and politicization of all of them in the service of a greedy and lazy elite.. That’s it for me. Never setting foot in that shit show again. It’s actually worse even than Canada.

    1. I still believe that the US has the mechanisms to turn back this tide. I don’t believe Canada has those means. Which is why I came south despite the Democrats.

  16. I doubt the NY Grand Jury can help themselves. Did their conversations turn to “how many minutes will we be on the air to discuss our reasons for the indictment”? how about, “this time we’ve got ’em, and he’ll never be President again after we’re done with him”

    I doubt the US Secret Service will walk away from this, or will turn him over to the NY Police.
    What will the local NYC police effort do then?
    Did anyone hear Alan Dershowitz talk about this last week on Bannon’s War Room?

    President Donald J. Trump will return to office, and be much, much stronger.

    and I agree with Glenn Beck (and Tucker in agreement) in the above video.
    100 million votes.

  17. Impeachment # ? This guy is investigated more than acthual Hitler and they find nothing, — again.

    Clearly everyone wants a redo of 2020 with the left thinking that the only person a drooling old pervert can win against is a different drooling old pervert in a red hat.

    18 months until the next election. A long annoying 18 months.

  18. Kate, re: DeSantis listening to the right people now? I will suggest the people he is listening to now have told him – “2028”. I don’t believe he is going to run. He’s seeing Trump’s poll numbers, and the MAGA Republicans far outnumber the GOPe squishies. The MAGA hardcores (count me among them) will NEVER vote for DeSantis in 2024. DeSantis has NO pathway to the nomination, let alone the Presidency.

    If DeSantis runs AGAINST PDJT in 2024 … he will have forever tainted his brand … and he will come up short, just like John McCain and Mittens Romney. DeSantis isn’t THAT dumb … he will step aside.

    1. ” I will suggest the people he is listening to now have told him – “2028”. I don’t believe he is going to run. ”

      I don’t believe he had any intention of running. His constituents in Florida would not have been happy, for one thing. For another, he would have no path to victory against Trump, and would only split the vote enough to elect another Democrat.

      ” DeSantis isn’t THAT dumb … he will step aside.”

      Trump should never have launched all those childish attacks against him, then. That cost him support, some of which which may be coming back now thanks to this idiocy from the Manhattan DA.

    2. Ken,

      I heard some time ago that DeSantis said that if Trump ran again, he wouldn’t. Hope he keeps his word, the Republicans do not need a civil war.

  19. “Former President Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury, according to two sources familiar with the case.”

    *Business fraud*, now??

    What’s this all about?

    1. “Trump is one of the very few leaders talking about peace in Ukraine.

      Can’t have that.”

      Yeah, follow the money. Too many people stand to lose millions upon millions of dollars in the conflict ends too quickly.

  20. If Trump is jailed, there better be Secret Service agents in there with him.
    Because Epstein didn’t kill himself.

  21. All that this will do is give DeSantis the impetus to run and win.

    Canadians are colossally stupid but the Americans are quick learners. There are so many times that one can tolerate installed doddering, old fools.

    1. Americans are quick learners
      _____________________________

      Maybe not. We elected O-dumber twice.

  22. “There’s going to be 100 million people that will walk on broken glass and through fire to vote for someone other than this corrupt banana republic administration”

    And it makes no difference at all because the election will be another total fraud like it was last time.

  23. I still find myself surprised how I under-estimate how dumb the Left is. Thought they were going to quietly walk away, but something must have changed the last 2 weeks.
    This guarantees Trump the nomination, which is the outcome the Communists want. (Only because they know they can steal it again)
    I still don’t see DeSantis in the race if Trump is there.
    Two scenarios, Trump is the nominee, Trump removes himself , DeSantis is the nominee. Neither wins 2024 easily because we all know 10’s of millions will rush to vote for the worst performing administration on the economy, foreign relations and justice in the entire history of the country again.

  24. Wow. I sure hope Donald does not commit suicide in jail like that poor man Epstein did.

    For that matter, these swamp people seem very determined to stop Donald. If this jail thing does not work, what will they do next? Kinda obvious, and one cannot talk about such things.

  25. What I think everyone is missing here is that this fiasco is a lose/lose situation for American Justice. If the charges are laid and Trump is arrested and charged there are two options:
    a) the charges are proved and Trump is sentenced, if this happens then either the whole DOJ and FBI are either incompetent or corrupt.
    b) the charges are false and Trump is innocent, if this happens then the DOJ and the FBI are incompetent.

    In the case of (a) after seven years of the most invasive, intensive investigation into any American in history the DOJ and the FBI could find not one felony to charge Trump with yet Bragg finds 34 in a matter of months thus indicating total incompetence in the DOJ and FBI. On the other hand after intensive investigation the DOJ and the FBI did find a chargeable felony but refused to pursue it to protect Trump then the upper levels of the FBI and the DOJ are corrupt.
    In the case of (b) and Trump is found innocent then the DOJ and the FBI are evidently incompetent since they allowed bogus charges to be brought.
    In either case this is a lose/lose situation for both the DOJ and the FBI and the American Justice system is entirely either incompetent or corrupt.

    Either way the American people are equal losers.

  26. I’m no real fan of Trump the man, but am a big fan of Trump the President. During his short time in office, he set the US economy humming, and made great strides in so many areas. As a business man in the political area, he appointed too many enemies thinking they were allies, all due to him not understanding the number of sharks swimming in that political cesspool who were looking out for themselves, and not the American people. The people however recognized him for what he was trying to do, and the current crop of misfits trying to convict him of something or anything, shows how desperate they truly are. I sincerely hope he wins the 2024 race. Because it’s true, he is the only one standing in the way of the globalist WEF agenda! Even if there were no shenanigans going on, it would still be an easy choice between a bumbling senile idiot, or an astute business man. For most that would be no tough choice to make, it will only depend on how much the left can steal the vote AGAIN this time!

    1. “I’m no real fan of Trump the man, but am a big fan of Trump the President. During his short time in office, he set the US economy humming, and made great strides in so many areas. ”

      For sure. From making peace in the Middle East to cancelling the ridiculous Iranian nuclear ‘deal’ to pulling US troops out of war zones all over the world, his foreign policy was superb. He thought like a businessman, not a politician.

      “As a business man in the political area, he appointed too many enemies thinking they were allies, all due to him not understanding the number of sharks swimming in that political cesspool who were looking out for themselves, and not the American people. ”

      Also true. I think that was his ego, and the aforementioned fact that he was not a politician, that caused those mistakes. Maybe he thought he could charm his enemies enough to win them over?

  27. It’s been over 6 years, which is beyond the Statute of Limitations for anything but murder and treason.

    But I’m still waiting for some Demoncrat to push the charges against Orange Man Bad to become a Capital case.
