ex-President Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at low-info Boomers like my religions aunts. I have two questions:
a) Is anyone here who supports Trump bothered by lies like this?
b) Does anyone know what he's even talking about here? Like is there some grain of truth that he's embellishing on bigly?
No? But for sure democrats are playing the long game which includes formal adherence to the rule of law, while using every legal option they have for their political gain.
Very smart of them and not always expected.
I will never expect anyone with a political appointment to ever act not politically btw (unless I have reasons to expect irrationality).
What they are doing *is legal*, with no ifs and buts, and very "formal", this can gain approva
I wonder what political gain they have or can do .
Biden didn’t even pardon his own son .
There are 4. But we only got one verdict, for which we are still waiting sentencing.
The "34 counts" (lol) of criminal falsification of business records (because it purportedly was in order to conceal another crime, which was never proven), NYS case, Alvin Bragg prosecuting
I’m sure Mike cohen laughing too about those charges ….
They were not a joke to him it seems .
I think because corruption is so high in italy you are transposing Italian issues onto America. Happens a lot when Americans try to understand other countries so I assume this is what’s happening now.
Might be, I come from a low trust society and I don't actually believe high trust societies exist, I think it's all theater at least among the elites.
I don't actually have a model where you can be elite without being deprived of morals toward the general good tbh

Many Americans are still raised to have high confidence in the system, in the sense of American justice system at least. Unfortunately the far left and far right both have their theories about why judges and police are evil that they have pushed in recent years, from fabricated accusations of racism to supposed authoritarian tyranny of the “police state” to now the new thing about a weaponized justice system.
We need to get back to supporting law enforcement while understanding they need more training and more resources.

Politically elected prosecutors were never meant to be considered law enforcement.
Those are transparently political offices used countless times in the cursus honorum of politicians to reach higher and different political postings.
See Kamala.
With a presidential candidate that started her POLITICAL career as the chief prosecutor for the state of California (that what the AG is) how can you even attempt to claim those offices aren't purely political?
Judges and the police are law enforcement the way you intended it in your post though, I agree.
And the left is currently demonizing SCOTUS because for the first time in decades it doesn't rubber stamp their political preferences
Maybe the judge is actually gonna sentence him to some prison time?
would make sense to move the sentencing in that case
"The jury convicted you on 34 felony counts, and you threatened my daughter,
but let's just hold off on sending you to jail until we see if you succeed in installing a fascist state first."

Did you mean to link me something else?
I don't get where there was anything racist in that endorsement of Trump. Unless your argument is that Trump is a racist and endorsing him is thus racist. In which case I find it kind of funny that you equate Dems and Republicans as the same.
Many years ago, PB said he was unfamiliar with Qanon. It was one of the biggest lies he has ever told on the forum.
i find it so weird how nobody will ever acknowledge that despite parroting qanon talking points (even using their specific terminology) verbatim
the funniest denials are when they pretend not to know what qanon means
i think this is how they envision it going down
No one wants a President who goes round sexually assaulting uggos, would be a national embarrassment!
This is what decent persons on the right say when they say they vote Harris

As a conservative voting for Harris, someone asked what policies of hers I actually liked.
I like the one where she didn’t call to terminate the constitution to overturn an election her own legal team repeatedly told her she’d lost.
Mainly that one. When choosing between someone I disagree with on policy and someone that tried to overturn an election to unlawfully stay in power like some 3rd world dictator, it’s an easy choice.

You don't sugarcoat the fact that her policies are terrible (if you are a rightwing person).
Her policies would be fine if she didn’t suggest she would be for taxes on unrealized capital gains.
