Possibly so, but I wonder if the fact that all of the Jan 6 seditionists are serving prison sentences for Donald, if that might not cool that scene down a bit? Of course, there may be some yahoos looking for their excuse to go crazy. I somewhat suspect it won't be like before with his call to arms against the U.S. Government.
Nonsense. The law is the law. Right? It doesn't apply to former presidents? And it's not for paying hush money. It's for lying about it what it was for and committing business fraud. Just wait till the actual charges come out. You can't just say it's about politics, when you don't know what the charges even are.
I understand the tu quoque. And as I said in a former post, high positioned politicians get away with one or two crimes. But Trump is a habitual criminal. At one point the line has to be drawn. And the damage to the reputation is less with Trump convicted than with the notion that the law is toothless in the US. And the danger that future presidents will take Trump as a role model.
I pointed out in the other thread that Trump's case bears a lot of similarities to the John Edwards case...covering up hush money paid to hide an affair, and subverting campaign finance laws to do it.
Nope. Will never happen.Trump Indicted in New York: Donald Trump Is Indicted in New York (Published 2023)
Mr. Trump will be the first former president to face criminal charges. The precise charges are not yet known, but the case is focused on a hush-money payment to a porn star during his 2016 campaign.www.nytimes.com
It begins!
The rule of law applies to all.
If you believe that, then you really don't even believe in the law. Or your Constitution. Only a monarch can be above the law, because, as Goneril said in King Lear, "The laws are mine, not thine. Who can arraign me for 't?" Your Constitution says that America has no King. Why do you want one?
I dunno....the PB's were created as a street-fighting group as a counter to ANTIFA. I'm not sure what specifically the PB's would target or how they would do so, unless they evolve into a true domestic terror group. Some of the militias on the other hand.....
It's more like realizing the actual reality of the way things are rather than the continual platitudes people get fed and the subsequent excuses following as to why it did not come to pass.
Well, they do call him Teflon Don for a reason. But you know, mob bosses eventually run out of luck. I think that Don's luck has just run out. He pushed just a bit too far this time with everything he has been doing with seeming impunity.
Even if he does get 'arrested' meaning he will never see handcuffs and jail time , there is still a formal trial for which "innocent until proven guilty" exists, albiet the modern day template is more along "guilty until proven innocent" if the postings here are any indication of it in the court of public opinion.
