So much that's occurring makes no sense.

 

What really makes no sense is that so many people support a rapist/admitted sexual predator/adulterer/proven fraud over a decent, albeit rather boring, man.  And that they are willing to believe the obvious lies (well, obvious to anyone who's been paying attention and has a modicum of critical thinking skill).

Well, the Rs and Rupert Murdoch have done a hell of a job with their propaganda.

The number of people who believe the lies they've spewed, even after Fox was found liable for them, even after Fox admitted that a 'reasonable person wouldn't believe them', is depressing.

As has been pointed out in another thread, the parallels between Trump and Hitler are frightening.
The parallels between Murdoch and Fox and the Nazi propaganda machine has not been made as often, but it's definitely there.

Trump is being prosecuted for things that many experts say have no basis in law.

Laws against rape have no basis in law?

Laws against fraud have no basis in law?

Laws against interfering in elections have no basis in law?

I can guarantee you that if you or I sold someone a house that we told them, in writing, was a 6000 square foot house, but was actually a 3000 square foot house, we'd be in court very shortly, and end up being fined (at best) or serving jail time (at worst.)  That's the law for little people.  It is actually great to see even billionaires having to obey the law.

Each time a new trial starts his poll numbers improve.

Yep.  Sadly, many conservatives like the idea of being able to sexually assault women and get away with it.

Then he campaigns in his off-minutes at a NY bodega and a construction site. It's as if he's becoming a symbol of the little man fighting the big man.

If a billionaire rapist and fraudster who owns entire buildings and pays through the nose to suppress news stories about him banging starlets has managed to convince you that he's the "little man" - don't talk to anyone selling any bridges.

Quote

It appears that the Supreme Court may rule on presidential immunity causing some charges to be dropped and/or cases delayed.

Yes.  Trump's cronies on the corrupt Supreme Court are working to get him elected.  Although I hear this time it's going to take THREE superyacht cruises to convince Clarence Thomas to support a criminal for president.  So give early, give often!

Quote

One has to wonder if there's a group of Democrats that don't want Joe reelected and they are the ones in the background pulling the strings. 

Funny that.

The people that are closest to Biden are his strongest supporters.  The people who have worked with him, the people who have known him longest, even republicans who have fought with him speak highly of him.  Christine Whitman.  Meg Whitman.  Colin Powell.  Chuck Hagel.  Even Mitt Romney.

The people that are closest to Trump are now his strongest enemies.  Bill Barr, Mike Pence, James Mattis, Mark Milley, John Bolton, John Kelly, Betsy DeVos, and Cassidy Hutchinson.  Even his own family is now warning the country about the clear and present danger Trump presents to democracy.

I will say, McCain was a much clearer speaker.

I would add that even trump's own family never showed up to court to stand beside him to support him. Only his base, with hook and sinker hanging from their mouths. Parrot trump's flim-flam.

But never-mind. Your well crafted arguments bring to mind Plato and Aristotle debating with a stone wall. The stone wall never changed either.

Might want to remove Barr from the list.

Very few of the MAGA morons showed up. 

Few enough that Trumpty Dumpty lied and claimed the 'cops had closed off the streets.'

While some streets are closed for security measures, it's not anywhere near completely closed off.
