How about next time get your stories straight. And no one mentioned anyone's wives getting raped except you, now. It's still royally fukked up that you would enjoy your buddy beating the shlt out of someone or the thought that your wife would execute someone.

I agree that the Stormy Daniel's thing is dumb; but campaign finance laws are not something I'm going to be moved on. The entire current system pisses me off. I'm all in on nailing EVERYONE that skirts those already egregiously soft laws. Of all Trump’s legal issues, the fraud is, to me, the most likely to be based strictly on specious partisan politics. I believe if he'd never been POTUS, he'd never have been charged. I won't go so far as to say it's about damaging his candidacy, but I'm not going to try to prove someone that disagrees with me wrong. Docs case: sorry but F your Venn. Apparently former government officials making off with docs they shouldn't have is epidemic. Everyone does it, so everyone gets away with it. It’s like a cop trying to stop someone for speeding in heavy traffic when every single car is going 80 mph. No biggie, right? Right. NARA admits that every administration back to Reagan has mismanaged classified docs. EXCEPT, it appears as though custom was to relinquish said docs when officially asked to do so. Obama, Biden, and Pence gave them back, and I'm sure there are more examples. Trump not only didn't give them back, he went through various phases of not giving them back, despite MULTIPLE requests and Trump swearing he didn't have any more. Turns out he did. And whatever he had was deemed important enough to go to the trouble of raiding his home. Do you think that's a decision that was made lightly, just cuz Trump bad? I reject that. Who puts themselves through that shitstorm without justification? Nobody. Crimes committed, no defense. Book him. As to election related and J6 charges: we just aren't going to agree. I will claim I would feel the same if a Democratic POTUS did it. I THINK I would. But I don't know since no other President from any party has EVER done anything remotely close. What I will say is that the overwhelming majority of those convinced that J6 was a collection of patriots being unfairly persecuted and that Trump was completely blameless in the whole affair are disingenuous as fuk. If a Dem POTUS and his supporters did that, you all would be lined up volunteering to be the guys to tie the rope, swing the axe, or fire the rifle at the perps. If the Dem POTUS was impeached for it and then, after being excoriated by his own party for instigating the whole affair, was given a pass by his party in the Senate, spent the next few years getting indicted while continuing to consolidate power within the party and eventually became the nominee in the hope that he would be elected, shut down investigations into himself, then pardoned himself, all while skirting accusations of violent, bigoted speech, threats toward other politicians and public officials, and well known authoritarian desires and behavior, RWM would collectively self-immolate. And YOU GUYS WOULD BE FURIOUS. Trump is the crowned deity of grievance politics and a cult of personality with nothing constructive to offer, and he is vociferously defended by good, patriotic, intelligent Americans. By most accounts, Biden is a better human than Trump, has had significantly more success as president, presided over more worthwhile legislation, and is guiding the US through an extremely tumultuous time; yet few but the hardest of hardcore lefties defends him. Our movies are different at least in part because of the harm RWM has done to the trust factor in so many of the institutions that are essential for American peace and prosperity. It's the duty of our media to question authority and shed light on transgressions from bad actors. MSM is not perfect and has failed many times. But the entire industry is not in Biden’s pocket, defending him no matter what, spinning every little kernel of bad news into some hysterical, far-reaching conspiracy like the RWM machine does for Donald. Yet they are blamed for doing all of that and more. Of course, those blaming MSM are doing so because they've spent the last 25+ years being told that MSM can't be trusted- BY RWM, which of course benefits greatly from that distrust. Many people put more trust in Trump than they do in important, established, revered institutions in our country like K-12 education, universities, local government, federal law enforcement, intelligence, and legal entities; the list goes on. Many are ready and willing to completely demolish those institutions, with absolutely no thought as to what might take their place. In my movie Trump has never shown an iota of worthiness for any trust whatsoever, making these circumstances untenable and dangerous. Good convo, @jerryskids. Thanks.

I don't see a problem with how this was handled if you were respectful about being protective. I would do the same until my daughter is a teenager. A far cry from just beating someone up or, yaknow, executing them.

Proud of your bigoted buddy assaulting someone, huh? Hoping your wife has a chance to commit murder? And you seemed like such a great, level headed guy...

F'n A. Ya beat me to it.

Who said that? When the bank transactions can't show outright criminality, and the testimony comes from literal, convicted criminals, there isn't ENOUGH evidence to impeach.

Since this link doesn't really get to the bottom of it, here's my guess: there is some sort of rule against displaying certain things on your person or vehicle. The kids actions were harmless, but some idjit had a problem with it and complained. The school district, terrified of offending someone (since everyone knows that's the worst crime that can be committed in the 2024 version of America), folded like a cheap chair and told the kid to ditch the flag. Stupid, but all that matters is some special people see this as further evidence of the evil libs and their effects on education instead of an example of blanket rules being enforced without thought to the situation. Mission accomplished. My HS wouldn't allow us to wear hats on campus because someone might have the audacity to wear colors that could be connected to gang activity. In a small, rural, 99.9% white town with zero gangs. While kids had rifles in their trucks to go hunting before or after school. Nuance is a thing we should pay attention to.

Bullshlt. His DOJ either didn't do it because there was no basis, or did, but there wasn't enough evidence to charge. This is not a secret for those not beholden to right wing media. Funny thing is, Biden doesn't interfere with DOJ but MAGAmooks are convinced he does while ignoring Trump’s actions.

Go ahead and quote the statute that states POTUS can unilaterally terminate a DOJ investigation into himself. Or the one that empowers him to pardon himself. I'll eagerly await your pithy, nonsensical whataboutism.

Do I need to explain it further for you, Inspector Clouseau?

Who determines the morals and values you're talking about?

So your preference, while complaining about being a Banana Republic, is for Trump to win the presidency, then pardon himself and shut down multuple ongoing DOJ investigations and prosecutions against him?

Thanks for bringing up the evil, horrible media! What I see in this case is the son and brother of a famous politician dropping said politicians name repeatedly in order to impress those that they're trying to make money with/from. He was joining them for dinner, he was interested in the deal, yadda yadda. But somehow, there isn't evidence the Joe actually took part in any of the business. Looks to me like a couple guys that were using the tools at their disposal to close deals. Unseemly, absolutely. Illegal, no. What we have in the impeachment is hearsay and circumstantial evidence put forward by sleazeball "whistleblowers" with distinct ulterior motives, amplified righteously by right wing media to lather up the right into being absolutely convinced Joe is crooked despite a stunning lack of REAL EVIDENCE. Boss, the media you claim to hate, while deeply flawed, are not the primary perpetrators of backroom collusion with politicos and bad actors to wage psychological war on American sympathies. It's the media outlets YOU trust that are far more open, brazen, and content with being the media arm of a political party. This impeachment is a farce, and none of the MAGAMOOKS will see that, because Fox News and their less reputable ilk will create yet another conspiracy out of thin air to explain how EVERYONE is out to get poor Donald, how the Deep State got Joe off from heinous crimes, etc. They'll present little if any evidence of said crimes other than innuendo and asking select, pointed, rhetorical questions that allow consumers that are predisposed to assuming the worst from everyone that's not a Republican to let their imagination run wild with trash information.

Well done. I admire your resolve. I am but a wretch beholden to my vices it seems.

Incorrect. By all means, nail him to the wall if the evidence is compelling enough. But from what I understand, it just isn't.

I'm old enough to remember OJ being acquitted. Let's see if Donald will be able to say the same.

Translation: the courts are only right when I agree with them, otherwise... BOOTLICKERS!!!!

Name one that actually thinks this and has explicitly stated such. Or are you thinking of all the times MAGAMOOKS claim to know what liberals think but are invariably completely FOS?

Again, you have one in mind that liberals don't believe?

I'm not playing your game today, friend. Your "consistency of thought" is consistent in that you are not inclined to believe those that poke holes in your partisanship. Do you have a whistleblower in mind that you're hoping to spring as a gotcha? We can discuss that.

It's FATHER FIGURE to you, boyo.

When they testify under oath, yes.

The evidence against OJ was nowhere near as solid as the evidence against Trump in most of these cases.

Funny, it was never offered. You're a real hoot.

What does it take to sway YOUR opinion? Let me know.
