A bombshell filing out of Donald Trump’s election subversion case was unsealed Wednesday, revealing a trove of damning allegations about how the former president acted on and around Jan. 6, 2021.

Among the nastiest accusations in the 165-page document was how Trump allegedly reacted to learning from an aide that his vice president, Mike Pence, had been taken to a secure location in the U.S. Capitol for his safety.

Trump’s alleged response to that news: “So what?”

    In order for any of this document to contain “damning allegations” would require anyone who is already voting for Trump to have morals, critical thinking skills, and/or common sense. I would argue the influence this entire document has on voting intentions is in the single digits … and not percentage points.

    That said, I’m still glad they released it.

      In this case, “damning allegations” refers to legal damnations, not popular opinion.

        I would love to believe that, but laws don’t apply to the wealthy and powerful in the USA. Trump has committed countless crimes and he is still running for president with a coin toss chance of winning despite sedition and treason. I’ll eat my words if he is ever convicted of anything that actually puts him in jail. But I highly doubt this document changes anything.

      I’ve written about this story so many times since 2015.

      Conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Donnie after the ‘pussy grabber’ tape came out.

      Another panelist kept saying ‘pussy’ over and over.

      Finally the MAGoo woman had to ask her to stop using that offensive term.

      They know what he is, and they don’t care.
