Pelosi Commits an Act of Hypocrisy, Trump Commits a Felony -- America Focuses on Pelosi

[Sunstone]

I'm not going into detail about what Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Trump did within just this past few days because precisely what they did is not the topic of this thread. The topic of this thread is why is Ms. Pelosi getting all the attention when Mr. Trump seems to have committed the greater transgression? Is it because American's are far more scandalized by what someone who does not routinely flaunt the rules does than they are by someone who daily flaunts the rules?

Whatever the case, this is a sign we're screwed.

Which felony are you referring to this time?

 

[Polymath257]

Which felony are you referring to this time?

Encouraging voters to try to vote twice.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Which felony are you referring to this time?

Telling people to vote twice.

 

[metis]

Encouraging voters to try to vote twice.

Yes, and that is a felony as well as voting more than once.

OTOH, to defend Trump, we have to remember that laws and the Constitution don't apply to him.

Made doubly worse because she is a woman. There is a higher standard for women in power than there is for males. Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue, and get applause. Pelosi relaxes and doesn't wear her mask, and it's a scandal. It speaks for itself.

Completely out of context as has been shown (he didn't), plus, technically, telling people to do anything is not a felony. Nice try...

What is Complicity or Accomplice Liability?

Complicity is the act of helping or encouraging another individual to commit a crime. It is also commonly referred to as aiding and abetting. One who is complicit is said to be an accomplice. But, even though an accomplice does not actually commit the crime, his or her actions helped someone in the commission of the crime.

The concept of accomplice liability means an accomplice faces the same degree of guilt and punishment as the individual who committed the crime. Indeed, accomplices can face the same penalties, including prison time. The key consideration is whether the individual intentionally and voluntarily encouraged or assisted in the commission of the crime, or (in some cases) failed to prevent it.​

Ignorance is bliss.

Technicalities? Really?

Some of his followers will try to vote twice. Just like they tried to drink bleach. he was encouraging this. And THAT is a felony.

Hey, you're right! Now come and arrest us (hahaha)...

You actually believe that serial liar, listen to what Trump said, he committed a felony by recommending his supporters commit felony voter fraud, no matter what this ditzy blond says

It's not about what I believe. It is about what he gets convicted of. You or I may believe he committed a felony, but that is nothing beyond personal opinion until he gets convicted.
And yes, I understand he will probably never be convicted of it. In the meantime you can claim it all you want, it doesn't really mean much.

Written like someone who thinks he's above the law and does not care what laws Trump breaks because he's der Fuhrer.

 

[sun rise]

But to the OP, I did see a lot of headlines about Trump's latest trampling on the law. But maybe the TV did cover it differently than an online news search shows.

[Revoltingest]

Which felony are you referring to this time?

Even so, felony or not, there's plenty of focus upon Trump,
far more so than on Pelosi, who only rates one new thread.
It seems there's much objection to addressing what Pelosi did.

The real defense for Mr. Trump is the fact that he was likely completely ignorant of the law himself when he made the mistake of opening his mouth and using words yet again. And the evidence for this sort of ignorance being displayed by Mr. Trump simply abounds. He doesn't know what he is doing, and pretty obviously doesn't know much about virtually anything practical. My eight year old wouldn't have known any better in the exact same way that Trump didn't know any better in this instance. And that's not even exaggeration or hyperbole.

I take it you plan on committing voter fraud by voting twice??

Might. How about you.
