    Sure sounded like you agreed, or approved at the least. Interesting that you only bring up your criticism of Adams now.

    That said, let's not pretend why the rest of MAGA world now loves them some NY Democratic Boss Eric Adams or Chicago Democratic Boss Rob Blagojevich. Intellectual bankruptcy perhaps?

    As I said last post...I am not sure what to make of it yet. In a vacuum, it could be something I disagree with. Guilty people should be punished, and they should not be let off the hook for no reason. I believe there is a reason Trump is letting these guys off of the hook. I just don't know that reason yet. I don't have all of the information involved in why Trump made the decision. It entirely depends on why Trump made the decision. If you've watched any kind of crime show people get immunity and deals quite often, but the deal is made because it is worth it for the DA's office. Without knowing much at all about what kinds of conversations have happened between these two men and Donald Trump it is difficult to rush to judgment. Sometimes we just don't have all of the information to form rock solid conclusions yet.

    There is a reason why Trump is letting them off the hook. First he really doesn't consider corruption to be a criminal act and in the case of Eric Adams, he's a Democrat supporting Trump's deportation agenda and he flew down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring of the Dear Leader.
    Two days before Trump's inauguration.

    Same reason for everything he does: Trolling.

    I mean, do you take any of this seriously? Panama? Greenland? Canada folded into the US? Every day, something even dumber to top the last unproductive dumbass idea. This isn't policy. It's trolling. Which is all MAGA is capable of doing.

    That is a projection. It could be trolling. Or it could be more strategic. Time will tell. Or we may never know.

    That is your goal. Claim a strategy. Then, when it doesn't show up, forget about it so as to not make you question other things.

    His "strategy" is that he likes corruption and doesn't think it should be a crime.

    are you really that blind to the facts or just choose to ignore them lest they upset your reality?

    See, I don't even think it goes that far. Think Okeechobee. He just likes to troll the system.

    I tend to view it from the perspective of him making it legal to bribe foreign officials and his role as a licensing brand for white collar criminals, which is really the only successful business that he has run in the past few decades.

    Probably splitting hairs, but sounds like a minor league version of Menendez.

    Not what the indictment or the superseding indictment (if it would have been filed) said. Keep in mind that Acting US Attorney as well as the Assistant US Attorneys responsible for prosecuting Adams had impeccable conservative credentials they weren't exactly partisan Democrats.

    Omg the gymnastics people will go through to protect Trump. A few weeks ago this board was applauding this prosecution now Adams, a corrupt Democrat, is some kinda hero? Lmao trump supporters are ridiculous.

    Absolutely hilarious.

    Yes, this. And this makes clear why at least 7 prosecuters in the SDNY have apparently resigned over the decision to not prosecute Adams. Including Republicans.

    You see, those prosecutors just really want illegals to be allowed to come to New York! They hate America, and they saw Adams .......
    ... .........ROCK THE BOAT!


    Is it all clear what you should believe now, MAGA?

    It's either all of that ^^^ or ..... the felon you're in a cult to, as with his sycophants lackeys, is a criminal.

    Hmmm?
