Why were they even charged in the first place?
First, this implies the Judicial System in the United States was not a joke before this.
It's been a joke for alot longer then Trump being famous, let alone in office. Or rather, it's had laughable issues long before this anyway.

Now, as to why they were charged.
With Conspiracy?
They shouldn't have been. At all. Unless something hasn't been revealed to the public, there is no evidence to back a conspiracy charge. Conspiracy implies premeditation and co-ordination. A grand jury refused that twice before it was accepted.

The other charges, are actually rather common against protestors. Moderate chance of success.

The only reason for the conspiracy charge is that the six people in question were unmasked at the protest, and could be identified, and someone decided to target them because of that.
Media organisations, political opponents, companies, people who have sued him, etc. all being targetted by an obviously compromised legal system.

Those "don't tread on me" and 2nd Amendment circlejerkers who were preparing to fight an oppressive government are all MIA or even worse, the foot soldiers of a fascist movement.

Trump, 79, Sets Alarming Medical Record as Health Concerns Mount
A top doctor called the revelation “extraordinary.”

Records-obsessed Donald Trump has a new one to add to the list, but it’s not so flattering.

The president, who turns 80 on Sunday, spent three hours at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on May 26. He emerged after being pricked and prodded by some 22 specialists, an apparent record.

A Washington Post analysis of public statements by the president’s personal medical team found that was nearly double the number of physicians involved in his last physical. Last year’s check-up saw him examined by a comparatively meager 14 doctors.

The figure of 22 is also the highest number of specialists present at a single examination of a president, the Post reported. Another record for Trump.

“It is an extraordinary number,” said Jonathan Reiner, who served as cardiologist for Dick Cheney, the late vice president, and keeps a watchful eye on Trump’s health on CNN. “What specialties do they represent? Why so many?”

The White House replied to the Post’s findings by declaring, “The involvement of multiple specialists reflects a comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation consistent with best practices for executive-level medical care.”

“We have nothing to hide,” a White House official added. But it was Reiner who sounded the alarm before the check-up at Walter Reed, Trump’s fourth medical evaluation of his second term.

“This White House just doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge any physical ailment, but older people develop medical issues, and the president is almost 80 years old,” he told The Washington Post the day before the visit. “There just seems to be a lack of candor from the White House.”

Indeed, after the check-up, Trump crowed that he was in “perfect” health. “Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center,” Trump wrote on Truth Social that afternoon. “Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff! Heading back to the White House.”

His personal physician, U.S. Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, said Trump “remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function.”

Notably, Trump called the trip his “6 month physical,” while Barbarella described it on official documents as his “annual physical examination.”

The optics don’t match the brags. Trump has a seemingly permanent bruise on the back of his right hand. The White House blamed it on excessive hand-shaking, then one emerged on his other hand. He has a litany of other issues, too.

He often displays a wonky walk, skin issues, leg-dragging, cankles, a propensity for anger, and impromptu naps, and his freewheeling, often seemingly nonsensical rants don’t paint a picture of the “perfect” health that he and the White House claim.

An April poll conducted by Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos found that fewer than half of U.S. adults believe Trump has the mental sharpness or physical health to serve effectively as president.

“I think concern for the president’s physical health is probably at an all-time high, and I think advanced physical age is the No. 1 concern,” said Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who served as a White House physician for more than a decade under Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

The White House insisted to the Daily Beast that the aging president remains in “excellent health.”

“President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and the legacy media intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people,” spokesman Davis Ingle said.

“President Trump is the sharpest and most accessible president in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises, and he remains in excellent health.”
More reason to hope that one of his organs goes on strike.

Being Trump, he'd probably just treat that as any other business strike and ignore the reality. :wanker:

The only thing notable is the sheer magnitude of delusional and cirlejerking in this Administration.

So, the doctor that is employed by Trump said 'perfect health'.
All evidence says otherwise.

Hmm, who to believe.

Now, big question is, is lying about the health of the president well, a criminal or civil offense in anyway?
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

Trump literally falls asleep during press conferences and public meetings.

The Duce has cemented his place in American history forever. He has not only lost a war in just three months, but unlike other times when the forces of the land of the not-so-free/home of the not-so-brave run home with their tails between their legs, this time is going to cost the taxpayers a $300 billion war indemnity!

:shock:
:lol:

And that's before Iran starts charging tolls.

This is, however, the best possible outcome after the Axis of Epstein started this war, since the alternative would be invading a country the size of the US west of the Rockies with 90 million people. After the Army parade last year, where they trudged along like a defeated army being herded off into POW camps, I'm glad this wasn't being considered. And since Iran can crank out drones faster and more cheaply that we can build interceptor rockets (and Iranian drones were still hitting targets in spite of US air defenses), an endless bombing campaign wasn't going anywhere either. This also leaves out the dog that hasn't barked yet: The mid-term elections. It terms of human lives and taxpayer dollars; this humiliating surrender might be just enough to save Trump from spending the next few years in an orange jumpsuit...

Except that unlike everyone else Trump has used and later kicked to the curb, Bibi the Baby Butcher and his minions have political clout and won't hesitate to use it. For starters, Israel has already carried out numerous massacres in Lebanon and claimed Hezbollah's retaliation means Iran violated the truce. :wanker:

More importantly, most of Congress is on the payroll of AIPAC and right on cue, they're calling Trump a pussy (which he is). When Dems attack the GOP from the right, you know that the attacks are sponsored by AIPAC. Just ask James Baker.

If the Memorandum of Understanding/Instrument of Surrender holds, Trump just might have accomplished something. As bad as his fumbledicked war with Iran is, it's been less murderous than Von Reagan's Einsatzgruppen in Central America, the Bush family's (and Clinton's) depredations in Iraq, Obama's Timber-Sycamore scheme that turned Syria into a human slaughterhouse or Genocide Joe Biden's holocaust in Gaza.

It seems weird that you're listing this as a contrast. No question Biden enabled and supported the Gaza genocide, but it has continued under Trump (and all the stuff in Iran and Lebanon could probably be described an extension of it).

Most of the slaughter in Gaza happened while Biden was in office. Not to worry: Trump has two years and seven months to top him when Mileikowsky gets around to finishing off the survivors.

Israeli politicians openly say genocidal shit about a thousand Lebanese mothers having to weep if one Israeli mother has to weep (for soldiers killed invading and ethnically cleansing Lebanon).

Basically, the IDF has decided to emulate the Wehrmacht in terms of ethnic cleansing and reprisals against civilians if anybody decides to resist.
