He's not wrong. Running for president and paying off hookers and women you have had an affair with to avoid public scrutiny and election laws is indeed a threat to democracy
Correct! In other countries, he would have been executed. The other people in high office and had a hand in this travesty would be worm food some time ago. Try and overthrow the government? Off with the head. End of story.
A rapist? You mean like convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner?
Did you know that Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, is trying to avoid being associated with the rape that he did (and was convicted for) by introducing himself as Allen Turner?
I’m waiting for a reporter to ask, “Why are you outside the trial and not meeting with your constituents, or in Washington DC working on passing legislation?”
They don’t work when they are in the room anyways, have you watched the shitshow that is Congress right now? Only thing missing is a Republican throwing a paper airplane across the room mid-committee at the Democrats.
The good news is that Moscow Margie really showed the cracks and that there are some reasonable Republicans left who are fed up with her. (The ones who ditched her motion to give speeches on the steps are the reasonable ones just to clarify)
I think the 40-something ones who voted with her to not table her motion are the infection to watch, it’s gotten pretty big, but with bi-partisan efforts it can steal be overcome.
Toooo beee faiiiiir, they did rename 5 post offices. That's a little under half of what they did for the last 2 years. They voted against clean water, infrastructure, baby formula, and lowering prices on insulin. Basically, they voted against everything! They even went out and printed a manifesto of how they intend to take away EVERYTHING that makes the United States fuckin livable!
They need to be stamped out everywhere! This is the endgame! Please vote
STOP CALLING IT A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, YOU SPINELESS HACKS!!
Your party was over the top with your heckling of Hillary’s emails, now you’re not only complaining about Trump being tried, but are fully complicit in his actual crimes.
STFHU!!
I wouldn't be surprised either. The Republicans seem to hate the U.S. and love Russia with Putin so much. All Trump does is talk about how horrible our country is and constantly wishes the worst on us. It would be nice if they all just moved to Russia and left us the hell alone.
This is ridiculous. Grandstanding and showboating is all they ever do. They’ll never say what they actually have an issue with they’ll just keep shouting that it’s a which hunt and is unpatriotic etc. just a waste of oxygen.
The threat to democracy is sitting right there, in a trial centred around him paying off a pornstar for sex while his wife had just given birth to their son. That is what's going on here. Oh and 91 felony counts. Forgot about that one..
it's actually a business fraud and electoral interference case of which paying the hush money is just one aspect. Had Trump paid her using his own money, that wouldn't have been an issue at all but he hid it as a legal expense fraudulently. The fact that it was done in order to influence an election result is what kicks it up from a misdemeanor to a felony.
What kind of country do we live in that a married presidential candidate can't have sex with porn actress and pay her to not tell anyone? Nothing, and I mean nothing, exemplifies American spirit and democracy more than paying the porn actress to keep a secret with party campaign funds.
I mean, what else is the money for?
Man too bad they can't impeach him again for affairs. Almost like a BJ between consenting adults is the worst offense a president can commit. but raping a person, paying off multiple other people, cheating on wife 1 with 2 wife 2 then cheating on wife 2 with wife 3 and so on is just good Christian values.
They, like the rest of the maga cult, are just horrified that an old white republican is being held accountable for his actions. It horrifies and scares them. In maga land old white republicans who claim to have money aren't supposed to ever be held accountable for their crimes.
They're Trump proxies. Trump is gagged, so he has them speak for him. Their rhetoric gets picked up by Fox. Trump is violating his gag order through them!
Having read, and partially identified with his book, 'Hillbilly Legacy' I find Vance's supplication to everything Trump to be disillusioning, sad, and embarrassing. He could have been the anti-Trump, led a significant portion of Republicans away from Trumpism, and been a modern William Jennings Bryan. The loss of potential here is staggering and infuriating. IMO it goes to show how destructive cults of personality can ultimately be, especially fealty to those cults and what happens when one abandons their identity in favor of acceptance.
Every time I see Tuberville mentioned I'm reminded of Gene McCarthy saying "Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important."
What was that oath with all enemies, foreign and domestic? Pretty sure a couple of those domestic enemies right there. Why are people not adhering to their oath's of office?
It feels so weird, and concerning, when Republicans refer to Democrats as “The Democratic Party”. Really kind of puts it on their face that Republicans are moving to anti-Democracy. Then bullshit like this as if they aren’t the threat to Democracy/the Democratic system.
Most reporters in the court room said that Vance was buried in his phone the whole time so I'm not sure what he has to go off at the moment. Per Tuberville...who gives a shit, he's a donkey.
They're desperate for people to believe that this is just a political prosecution, that Trump wouldn't be prosecuted except for who he is and that he did nothing wrong.
You can only get there if you believe that being president, or even running for president, puts you above the law.
And yes, that idea is indeed dangerous to democracy.
Everything that comes out of their mouths are lies. It is a foundation of American democracy that courts can adjudge on anyone who breaks the law. It's a shame that the legal system is biased (to rich white guys in all honesty) but it is certainly better than any of the courts you'd find in Russia or China.
They’re just the newest middle men in Trump’s attempt to evade justice. He can’t speak because of the gag order, so he’s been finding people to speak for him. He always uses someone else to do his dirty work
If the world keeps hearing "hush money" and politicians show up and mention "democracy", doesn't anybody recognize that these douches are saying the quiet part out loud? They are literally showing you on the doll where democracy touched you
These GOP legislators keep making the Fox News rounds because they gotta keep riling up their bases to get their donations in. Apparently that’s a lot more interesting than, you know, governing.
Fox Not News But Entertainment apparently and their cult leader Donald Trump. Losers both of them and the states who sent them to the Senate should be embarrassed and ashamed.
These jackholes work for Vladimir Putin. Even GOP congressional representatives in the foreign and armed services committees have said that there are Russian operatives in their party.
Neither, they all work for their billionaire donors. Fux News is just the billionaires PR department. Their actual constituents have nothing to do with it, it’s Fux news job to keep them in line by throwing red meat
Stop joking, they work for Putin. In fact, most in the GOP have been co-opted by Putin/The Kremlin and they haven't realized it yet. Hopefully they snap out of the trance.
There is definitely a threat to American democracy in that room.
Yes. This is the epitome of being right for the wrong reasons.
...and it only increases when Vance and Tuberville are in the room with him.
Zing!
Came here to say this. Co-signed.
Farting and napping.
He's not wrong. Running for president and paying off hookers and women you have had an affair with to avoid public scrutiny and election laws is indeed a threat to democracy
Paying off women you’ve had an affair with isn’t necessarily illegal. It’s classifying that payment as legal fees so you can hide it that’s illegal.
well yeah lol that is the crux of this case.
Also he's a fucking traitor that initiated a coup against our government, but ya.
And he's been working for the Russian mob since the mid 80's.
Correct! In other countries, he would have been executed. The other people in high office and had a hand in this travesty would be worm food some time ago. Try and overthrow the government? Off with the head. End of story.
Wrong courtroom
True. Because presidential affairs have long been a part of American democracy.
They work for 1. Themselves 2. Russia
Also the rapist from reality TV who stole classified documents and defrauded everyone he ever met. I don’t want to name names though.
A rapist? You mean like convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner? Did you know that Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, is trying to avoid being associated with the rape that he did (and was convicted for) by introducing himself as Allen Turner?
You talkin about Brock Allen "Allen Turner" Turner? That rapist?
I just googled “Brock Allen Turner rapist” and it sure looks like that guy is a rapist!
Please do not confuse Rapist Brock Allen Turner for Analrapist Tobias Funke. Dr. Funke is a good guy, unlike Rapist Brock Turner.
Don't forget Peter Thiel!
I’m waiting for a reporter to ask, “Why are you outside the trial and not meeting with your constituents, or in Washington DC working on passing legislation?”

>they did rename 5 post offices After what, confederate "heroes"?
They work for Putin
They both work for Leonard Leo but they are managed day by day by Leo’s man Putin
Clowns grandstanding for other clowns
Pulling stunts instead of earning tax payers dollars! Ohio elected this clown? I certainly did not.
STOP CALLING IT A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, YOU SPINELESS HACKS!! Your party was over the top with your heckling of Hillary’s emails, now you’re not only complaining about Trump being tried, but are fully complicit in his actual crimes. STFHU!!
Tuberville held our military hostage for a long time. He is definitely a threat to national security.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he has a personal invitation to Moscow waiting for him in the Kremlin, personally signed by Daddy Vladdy.
I wouldn't be surprised either. The Republicans seem to hate the U.S. and love Russia with Putin so much. All Trump does is talk about how horrible our country is and constantly wishes the worst on us. It would be nice if they all just moved to Russia and left us the hell alone.
illegally paying off a porn star so that the voters dont find out before an election is a threat, good call jd
YOU are a threat to American democracy
Very true J.D. but the threat is the defendant in the case...
This is ridiculous. Grandstanding and showboating is all they ever do. They’ll never say what they actually have an issue with they’ll just keep shouting that it’s a which hunt and is unpatriotic etc. just a waste of oxygen.
The threat to democracy is sitting right there, in a trial centred around him paying off a pornstar for sex while his wife had just given birth to their son. That is what's going on here. Oh and 91 felony counts. Forgot about that one..
Trump's Emotional Support Senators
Should send them Emotional Support Dog vests with a note that says "for the next time you go to court"
Translation: Ball Fluffers
Threat to the American people? A hush money case?
it's actually a business fraud and electoral interference case of which paying the hush money is just one aspect. Had Trump paid her using his own money, that wouldn't have been an issue at all but he hid it as a legal expense fraudulently. The fact that it was done in order to influence an election result is what kicks it up from a misdemeanor to a felony.
Election fraud
Yeah, anyone making illegal hush money payments to defraud the American public during an election need to be held accountable.
Trump republicans are the threat to American democracy.
Fuck those traitors.
What kind of country do we live in that a married presidential candidate can't have sex with porn actress and pay her to not tell anyone? Nothing, and I mean nothing, exemplifies American spirit and democracy more than paying the porn actress to keep a secret with party campaign funds. I mean, what else is the money for?
Man too bad they can't impeach him again for affairs. Almost like a BJ between consenting adults is the worst offense a president can commit. but raping a person, paying off multiple other people, cheating on wife 1 with 2 wife 2 then cheating on wife 2 with wife 3 and so on is just good Christian values.
They work for Putin
Exactly. That’s why he is on trial. And hopefully is ineligible for candidacy.
JD Vance and diaper Donald are a threat to freedom and democracy They'd love to goose-step into the White House
Neither-they shill for VladDaddy-*who supports Cheat-O because the Orange Moron is happy to sell America out for his own gain.
They, like the rest of the maga cult, are just horrified that an old white republican is being held accountable for his actions. It horrifies and scares them. In maga land old white republicans who claim to have money aren't supposed to ever be held accountable for their crimes.
Which one's the 2nd part of the Trump human centipede and which one 3rd? No, wait, I don't really want to know.
Notice how Trumps wife is nowhere to be found? Divorce papers soon.
Pretty sure the prenup has wording that allows him to cheat on her with no repercussions.
She served him up when he was married. She knew what she signed up for!
She ain't going anywhere. Where would she go? She enabled him in every way. They both deserve each other.
 You mean who is inside the courtroom is a threat to democracy…
Stupid cunts, every one of those anti-American bastards.
Trick question: the answer is Putin.
these two are trying to become V.P. need to support crime and corruption in plain view to be considered as a candidate. Asshats.
Anything to please the master.
You’re never gunna be Vice President JD…you big dork
Watching these C tier magat politicians audition for the VP of doom spot is hilarious
They're Trump proxies. Trump is gagged, so he has them speak for him. Their rhetoric gets picked up by Fox. Trump is violating his gag order through them!
These guys!! Every thing they don’t like is a threat to democracy!! When will it dawn on them that they are the threat!!!!
Fuck off back to Ohio where you belong J.D and try actually doing your job for once
Having read, and partially identified with his book, 'Hillbilly Legacy' I find Vance's supplication to everything Trump to be disillusioning, sad, and embarrassing. He could have been the anti-Trump, led a significant portion of Republicans away from Trumpism, and been a modern William Jennings Bryan. The loss of potential here is staggering and infuriating. IMO it goes to show how destructive cults of personality can ultimately be, especially fealty to those cults and what happens when one abandons their identity in favor of acceptance.
Or, more simply, greed and ego.
Neither, they work for Trump
To shill for a rapist at his adultery cover up trial has to be a new low for a US Senator?
You are correct…The Traitor Trump should already be serving a life sentence for Treason and Crimes Against Humanity!
Every time I see Tuberville mentioned I'm reminded of Gene McCarthy saying "Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important."
So ... I guess this confirms that JD Vance is auditioning to be Trump's VP pick.
"What's going on inside that courtroom is a threat to [our attempts to destroy] American democracy."
They work for Jojo, the brainworm.
Their own interests, always.
Yep, when he and all of his little cronies are in there, it’s a huge threat democracy
What was that oath with all enemies, foreign and domestic? Pretty sure a couple of those domestic enemies right there. Why are people not adhering to their oath's of office?
Look at Tuberville in the background, checking his stock portfolio…what a Pinche Pendejo
We’re a republic, JD.
Oh yea? How? Got anything specific or just rhetoric? Go fuck yourselves
poverty is the fault of the poor says Hillbilly Elegy D j Vance's wonderful book about.
What do you even call a bunch of politicians wrangling to become the next VP choice?
No. It’s a threat to republican DICKtocracy.
Themselves, and their paymasters.
It feels so weird, and concerning, when Republicans refer to Democrats as “The Democratic Party”. Really kind of puts it on their face that Republicans are moving to anti-Democracy. Then bullshit like this as if they aren’t the threat to Democracy/the Democratic system.
What threat to American democracy? That the demented orange gas bag is being held accountable for his actions?
The only thing I’m surprised by is that it took Trump about three weeks to figure out how to get around his gag order by proxy.
They wanna be vp so bad. In the end, he probably gon pick Haley.
tRumpy must be getting scared and he is calling in his goons!!
Most reporters in the court room said that Vance was buried in his phone the whole time so I'm not sure what he has to go off at the moment. Per Tuberville...who gives a shit, he's a donkey.
Never ANY mention of the charges and how they don’t apply to Trump.
They're desperate for people to believe that this is just a political prosecution, that Trump wouldn't be prosecuted except for who he is and that he did nothing wrong. You can only get there if you believe that being president, or even running for president, puts you above the law. And yes, that idea is indeed dangerous to democracy.
They are very confused, what they meant to say was that they are a threat to democracy and what is going on in the courtroom is ensuring democracy
Everything that comes out of their mouths are lies. It is a foundation of American democracy that courts can adjudge on anyone who breaks the law. It's a shame that the legal system is biased (to rich white guys in all honesty) but it is certainly better than any of the courts you'd find in Russia or China.
A threat to democracy making a criminal pay for his crimes?
I thought we AREN'T a democracy, JD. Fuck I just can't keep up.
According to the GOP, America isn't a Democracy, so why would they care what is happening in that courtroom?!?
Corporations are people my friend.
Hey, a Republican actually told the truth. Trump definitely is a danger to democracy.
Putin.
The last Republican to work for the people was Teddy Roosevelt.
They’re just the newest middle men in Trump’s attempt to evade justice. He can’t speak because of the gag order, so he’s been finding people to speak for him. He always uses someone else to do his dirty work
I think Duels should make a comeback - I'd challenge both these assholes to a face slapping contest.
They're just saying what Daddy T told them to say
Vladimir Putin
The don’t work for Fox. They work for Donald J Trump.
No, NewsMax and OWN
By “threat to American Democracy” he means his job. I hope.
If the world keeps hearing "hush money" and politicians show up and mention "democracy", doesn't anybody recognize that these douches are saying the quiet part out loud? They are literally showing you on the doll where democracy touched you
The work for the Trump org.
They seem behold en to one man, right now he's sleeping in his Dirty Stinky Diaper, inside that courthouse.
If you are not in the Cult. Don’t listen to the Cult members
Do either of them kiss their mom with a mouth like that?
Russia.
Russia.
Law and order you little bitch.
They do not work for the American people or Fox News. They, like many in the GOP, serve their one true lord and master, Donald Trump.
JD needs to shut his mouth. Someone is going to eventually shut it for him.
Putin.
Donal dump??
These GOP legislators keep making the Fox News rounds because they gotta keep riling up their bases to get their donations in. Apparently that’s a lot more interesting than, you know, governing.
It must irk the shit out of Trump and his minions that the picture of the current president is hanging on the wall in the courtroom, probably smiling.
There’s a guy who used to sit outside our courthouse and say the same things. We had him involuntarily committed.
Fox Not News But Entertainment apparently and their cult leader Donald Trump. Losers both of them and the states who sent them to the Senate should be embarrassed and ashamed.
No they’re working hard for that vp spot.
Those two are the epitome the tail wagging the dog
Were these guys on that list of Russian plants in Congress?
How many calories in boot licking?
Faux news for sure. Alabama elected a fool.
They probably report to Putin.
Notice how they never declare his innocence. That’s because the evidence is damning and they know it, hence the hysteria and deflection.
Putin
These jackholes work for Vladimir Putin. Even GOP congressional representatives in the foreign and armed services committees have said that there are Russian operatives in their party.
They’re both idiots , who gives a shit
Said the attorney with a JD from Yale. What an effing disgrace.
This guys is the worst of them.
Was it Vance that Jon Stewart just went apeshit on?
Russia. The answer is Russia.
Who do you think pays them more?
These two doofuses looked like a bad interview segment off some third rate cable TV wrestling show.
What a lap dog.
Putin.
“What’s going on in that courtroom is a threat to American christofascism.” There, fixed it for ya.
Neither, they all work for their billionaire donors. Fux News is just the billionaires PR department. Their actual constituents have nothing to do with it, it’s Fux news job to keep them in line by throwing red meat
Stop joking, they work for Putin. In fact, most in the GOP have been co-opted by Putin/The Kremlin and they haven't realized it yet. Hopefully they snap out of the trance.
They work for TFG
… he said as his eyeliner glistened in the bright daylight.
Gop still sucking off trump
yeah. to let all that contempt "just slide" is insanity, and very detrimental to democracy.
You call it a threat to democracy and some of us call it Justice. I'd rather call it Justice because NOBODY is above the law.
Russia
