Donald Trump

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Stop ignoring your instincts.. Anyone can make a graphic that hows Fox news 10 football fields left of center.

That bias chart is a joke.

Honestly ask yourself.. is the democratic party actually left? or it's center right and Trump is way way way far right?

Ignore your instincts at your own peril!

Although I'm not familiar with the content of many of the outlets in the bias chart, the chart strikes me as fairly accurate, although I might quibble with some entries, moving them one spot to the right (e.g., The Wall Street Journal).

Perhaps you are viewing the chart through dated glasses. The USA has shifted to the right under Trump. What was centrist 10 years ago is now left-leaning or left.

It’s a very sobering read, let’s hope to fuck he doesn’t win, though will no doubt claim if he loses that the election once again was “stollen”.

If Trump loses the upcoming US Presidential election, he'll likely spend the rest of his life in jail.

Should Trump win reelection, there's going to be hell to pay. First off he'll pardon himself for all federal charges. And do whatever it takes to avoid jail in any state (e.g., Georgia) case against him. This will generate massive unrest in the populace. What next transpires is anyone's guess and will likely depend on whether or not Democrats control both houses of congress.

If he wins and the Dems control the Capitol he'll just keep issuing executive orders, by passing them completely and expect his pals on SCOTUS to ok it when its taken to them.

Shouldn't any SCOTUS judge appointed by Trump have recused themselves as obligated to one of the parties to the case?

He didn’t appoint them. He nominated them and Congress confirmed them. Same as Nixon did three of the the justices who were on the bench for US vs Nixon (and voted against him).

Point still stands about recusal.

One judge is involved in the Jan 6 insurrection by association.

It’s a bonkers system. Everybody identifies justices with a particular president.
The British ‘‘Don’t ask, don’t tell.” system is far superior! Judges just emerge.

I thought the monarch and PM together appointed judges with NO electoral oversight/consequences.

Is his wife on trial? Not saying the MORAL and judicially-appropriate thing to do isn’t to recuse himself, mind.

But not in US vs Trump.
