In other words…he’s anticipating unrest.

Of course he does.

Well…that award effectively means nothing, now.

What do you mean, “anymore”? He’s a moron. He’s never made any sense.

“…Trump’s interpretation…”

Lol! This fuckin’ moron doesn’t even understand basic high school level shit. The US is doomed.

Wasn’t she recently bragging about blowing Trump? A married man? Hmmm. Curious.

It still needs to be presented in court, and debated in front of a judge and jury. That way, it’s all on the record.

I’m talking about selectively assigning who gets their rights protected, and who doesn’t. Who deserves due process, and who doesn’t. The only way any of this can be considered “legitimate” is if it applies to everyone…not just the ones you think “deserve it”.

No, I’m saying that the basic principles of law and justice shouldn’t be abandoned just because there are people in the world who try and game the system.

It seems like everyone these days, agrees with Trump’s vision of what the law should look like. My side gets a pass…and everyone I think is “bad”, gets their rights taken away. People just seem to disagree about who should be punished without due process.

It’s not a “moral high ground” issue. It’s basic common sense. You want a legal system that’s based on facts? You want people’s rights to be respected? You can’t have those things, if you throw them all out the window anytime things don’t work out exactly the way you want them to.

Those are the things you have to fight to protect. If every law that got broken, meant the law was pointless…then we would have no laws.

“Trump floats the idea of starting a civil war.” FTFY.

I’m not saying the system is perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect system. But throwing away the entire concept of due process, just because rich people have the advantage of hiring better lawyers, is not the answer.

There are definitely ways to reform the system to make it more equitable…but skipping the parts where evidence is required for a conviction, or closing all possibilities for appeals? No. All that does is give people like Trump the perfect weapon to use against their enemies. None of us are safe, if we abandon those foundational principles.

It’s funny that Republicans were trying everything under the Sun…including fabricating evidence…to show how Biden was profiting off of his position. And they never actually found anything.

But, here we are now…and it’s nothing but crickets.

Dude. That’s literally the same argument Trump was using for why he should be allowed to just deport people without due process. This is not the “solution” you think it is.

Leniency for China, while he cracks down on Americans.

It means even less, if your first impulse is to toss it all out the window as soon as it’s no longer convenient for you to follow it.

You still need to present evidence, in court, before you can throw someone in (or under) prison. Or do you think Trump is right by arguing that he shouldn’t have to follow due process against HIS targets? The law should be equally applied to everyone…so, if you think it’s ok to simply ignore the process for him, then anyone can simply ignore the process for others.

Guilt by decree is not “justice”.

So…do you agree with Trump when he tries to suspend or ignore the legal process? Is that your solution? Just, “as long as it’s us doing it, it’s fine”?

It’s kind of bizarre to advocate for the very same shit he’s pulling, as a defense against the kind of shit he keeps trying to pull.

Tom Cruise must be stopped!

That’s not how the law works.

No one is “letting him”. There are dozens of active cases against him and his administration, right now. The process takes time, and the media never covers it adequately…but the system is still working.
