  1. A jury unanimously found that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll, although she characterized it as a rape.
  2. It doesn't and it is completely irrelevant. The Founding Fathers did not want the government to pick and choose who they grant due process to (and you would think that everyone would want it that way).
  3. No it doesn't His character (or anyone else's) is irrelevant to whether or not they should be accorded due process as required by the Constitution.
  4. Unfortunately, that still is a possiblity and the unlawful deporatations may continue despite the termporary SCOTUS ruling stopping them.

    Do you fear death?

    Alfred Hitchcock was asked if he feared death, his answer: "Death? No. Dying? Yes."
  6. I an sure he doesn't. He seems to fall in with JD Vance who thinks due process is dependent on the situation and the person accused. https://twitter.com/JDVance/status/1912320489261027374 To say the administration must observe "due process" is to beg the question: what process is due is a function of our resources, the public interest, the status of the accused, the proposed punishment, and so many other factors. To put it in concrete terms, imposing the death penalty on an American citizen requires more legal process than deporting an illegal alien to their country of origin.
  7. Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan The Trump administration just argued before the Supreme Court that they have the right to arrest ANY person, US citizen or not, for ANY reason, and send them to a foreign prison ANYWHERE, without due process, and America’s courts have no jurisdiction to stop them. Let that sink in.
  8. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1913237382201266548 The National Intelligence Council determined in a secret assessment that the Venezuelan government is not directing an invasion of the U.S. by Tren de Aragua. The determination is the most comprehensive assessment to date undercutting Trump's rationale for deporting suspected gang members without due process. https://washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/04/17/us-intelligence-tren-de-aragua-deportations-trump

    The silent war

    Yes, It is mostly that tariff thingee that may cause a global recession, combined with Trump's seeming absolute contempt for the rest of the world, except, Russia, North Korea and Israel.

  11. Go to the link in X/Twitter and change the URL from "X.com" to "Twitter.com" (it only works about 1/3rd of time for me and I don't know why).
  12. Wrong about what? I said he was a registered Republican and you said he was a Democrat (which was false per his voter registration).
  13. Dude you said this: Can you admit you were wrong?

    Trump Fact Checking Thread

    https://x.com/ddale8/status/1913031236617986432 Daniel Dale @ddale8 The White House today responded to a fact-check request regarding a President Trump lie by telling another lie. Trump, rejecting inflation concerns, claimed today that gas “hit $1.98 yesterday in a couple of states.” Not true. No state had an average gas price lower than $2.70 yesterday, per AAA data; no metro area in the 500+ tracked by AAA had an average below $2.57; and the firm GasBuddy tells me it saw 0 individual stations selling for under $2.19 in the tens of thousands of stations it tracks. (Certainly possible there’s some extreme outlier somewhere in this large country, and some drivers get special discounts, but that wouldn’t justify the claim.) So I asked the White House what if anything the president was talking about. Spokesperson Harrison Fields provided a statement that not only didn’t substantiate the false claim, which is understandable, but added a new false claim. Fields said that if out-of-touch big-city reporters actually went and visited “the Middle America,” they’d see that “gas prices are at record lows.” Except…that’s not close to true either. Gas prices “aren't near record lows in a single state,” @GasBuddyGuy notes, and that’s true even adjusted for inflation. Prices were much lower during various previous periods, even during Trump’s first term. They were under $1 at times in the late ‘90s, for one. So I had to send Fields a second request for comment, asking for an explanation for the new false claim the White House decided to provide in defense of the other false claim. No response a few hours in. This is really not how almost any office in Washington tends to operate with these kinds of routine fact-check requests. Spokespeople might ignore a query about their bosses’ misstatement, play down the wrongness, pivot to a broader “the real issue is” point, offer attempted defenses on and off record, maybe criticize the reporter. But just making up more stuff is pretty rare, or used to be.
  17. Which of course proves he is anti-Trump...oh, wait...
  18. Exactly. "These people are usually pretty entertaining" (you don't refer to a group you are a part of a "these people" you refer to others as these people) Plus the protest was on the campus of a school he attended, so he probably didn't have to go out of his way to see it.
