RaiderHaters Revenge 4,348 Posted March 4, 2024 3 minutes ago, Mike Honcho said: Need to correct myself, it wasn't a jury trial, but a trail before a judge. Anderson v. Griswold As to your question---no I wouldn't be okay with it, but that's because the premise is ridiculous...and again, all I'm doing is pointing out that SCOTUS did not say they were disputing the fact finding of the lower court on the issue of insurrection, which I found interesting. I see, I am of the opinion that in order for any president to be charged he has to be impeached, otherwise I would be all for charging every president for war crimes I am not sure if thats how the supreme court works honestly, maybe the only topic to be discussed was the 14th and the states having election rights if the president isnt an officer than the other ruling by a judge is irrelevant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, that's a million times worse. One is a bunch of people (morons they may be), making a flailing attempt at change is way better than the government acting on it's citizens in an unlawful manner. They State of Colorado literally convicted a citizen of a crime that he was never charged with or tried for. That my friend, is an example of Communism. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBayXXXVII 2,545 Posted March 4, 2024 2 hours ago, Fumbleweed said: I think Trump actually has an outside shot at winning Colorado. I don't think he can get 45% of the vote there, but I could see several states in which he gets 41% or so and all the third candidates swallow up 20% of the vote, leaving Biden with only 39% (approximately). No way Trump wins in Colorado with just him and Biden on the ballot, but with other options, those sensible enough to know that Biden is not capable of leading a country while Trump is not their choice will simply go with a different, third option, candidate. I think Virginia, Minnesota, and a few other states are in play for this very reason. I don't see that happening. I have a hard time believing that the non-R/D candidates could combine for any more than 8 to 10% in any state, especially in blue states. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,275 Posted March 4, 2024 2 minutes ago, RaiderHaters Revenge said: so you think that a court in Alabama can charge Obama with murdering an American citizen? The courts have recognized that the President has immunity from suits arising from actions relating to "official duties". So if Obama walked out of the W.H. and shot somebody just because he felt like it, I think he would absolutely be charged. If Obama ordered a military strike and an American citizen died because of it, no he wouldn't be charged(unless there were some incredibly extenuating circumstances.) You really think, that a president could engage in my first example and if the house and senate didn't impeach and find him guilty, that he couldn't be charged? That's what a King gets to do and we revolted against that very idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His speech on Jan 6 was not in an official capacity as POTUS, since he was addressing a crowd of his supporters in an attempt to get them to march to the Capitol. One can disagree with that last part I suppose, but if you think it's cool for a POTUS to do that, you don't want a president, you want a king. Or a dictator.

I'm not a Trump guy, but you have to remember how crazy that time frame was. Most of us went to bed thinking Trump had won the election only to find the next morning that all sort of votes had come in throughout the night under odd (at best) pretenses. Add to that all the voting irregularities and the crazy ballot harvesting and the whole election just smelled fishy. I think if the shoes were on the opponent's feet, he would have done the same type of thing. The election didn't feel right and it still doesn't to a lot of people. 2 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get this line of reasoning, but it only means you weren't paying attention. Trump and his team, especially that gutter dwelling drunk Steve Bannon, telegraphed their entire playbook before voting even started. It was well known that the absentee ballots would favor Democrats, since the GOP had been waging war on it for months telling Republicans not to vote that way. It was also well known that those votes would be tabulated after in person votes in most districts. BEFORE the election, Bannon told his listeners the plan. It was 100% telegraphed to maximize outrage without any proof whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be the first time they assassinated an ex-President. They can't repeat the JFK thing, because Trump won't be appointing an LBJ or even a Pence this time around.
