Not entirely true. Republicans vote in legislation/policy to stick it to Dems without ever thinking about how it will impact them at a future date in my opinion.
Not entirely true. Republicans vote in legislation/policy to stick it to Dems without ever thinking about how it will impact them at a future date in my opinion.When it comes to justice I disagree. From what I've seen I believe the Dems will likely hurry and sweep Trump's criminality it the dustbin of "it doesn't really matter", becoming self-congratulatory and taking the same attitude as was done with the Iraq War and giving the same message- "You can do whatever you want".
We'll hear about how we need to heal wounds, how we need to focus on undoing Trump's actions and then the Apologists will come around and defend a complete lack of calls for justice as always.
Some excuse will be found.
No politician wants justice if it might apply to them one day. No partisan wants the potential of his or her parting held accountable with penalties they themselves might face in a court.
Trump beat ISIS?
lolololololol
That isn't what I said. LOL
He has beaten back the ISIS Caliphate to a mere shadow.
You know your words are still here for people to read right?
That's a ridiculous demand to make of Dems, pointless posturing. Let's face it- Trump can pardon the lot of them & be pardoned by Pence after impeachment & conviction before any of that can happen. That assumes the special counsel finds grounds for impeachment prior to the election of 2020. If the special counsel is still investigating should Trump be there to lose that election the above scenario still applies because Trump can resign & Pence can be Prez for a day.

You are already playing apologist by inventing scenarios with "President for a day", none of which has anything with letting the American people know what side they stand for. Pointless posturing? Not for the citizens who aren't sure if anyone has a spine or can be trusted.
Standing for principles matters in those we elect. If Dems can't do this in the case of criminality that's discovered by this administration then we'd be better off without Reps and them.
They had to get people on process crimes. Nothing related to collusion.
On the other hand Hillary and Bill are as dirty as the day is long, collecting billions in pay for play from those seeking influence in Washington, Obama and the Secretary of State.
Billions of dollars from Russians, Arabs, Americans, etc. Yet did she or anyone else get charged? Fuck no. Its Hillary. And Democrats always "get away with it."
Such bullchit.
Prosecution of Trump is the original invented scenario here, isn't it? There's insufficient proof he's done anything for which he can be prosecuted. But let's promise to throw him in jail just for the sake of greater polarization. For that good old Fuck Your Feelings! feeling.
Nice bit of concern trolling on your part, however.
This is all predicated that crimes occurred and that the DOJ has determined that criminal prosecutions are warranted, so "promising to throw him in jail" isn't part of the discussion. It's a simple statement after Trump being removed from office that they support any current prosecution wherever it leads up to and including prosecution for crimes that come out of investigations. So you don't have an "invented" scenario because there is an ongoing investigation which may reveal criminality, indeed some criminality has come out of this. Whether it extends to Trump personally? That remains to be seen, but it's is a definite possibility.
Everything else on your part doesn't deal with the issues. You are already diverting with "promising to throw him in jail just for the sake... " and "concern trolling".
So far you're looking like a Trump supporter as far as this goes.
Your whole argument is an attempt to put words in Dems' mouths & condemn them for resisting. Over something that likely won't happen, one way or another.
It merely reinforces the view that Dems are on a witch hunt, at least in the minds of the Trump faithful. We don't need the specter & spectacle of a Trump prosecution to sow further divisiveness in this country. I'm not willing to make that look like the desired outcome, which is what you're doing.
Looks like Trump will make 2020 after all. Don't want to make the Dems look bad to Trump supporters by impeachment. You aren't willing to make that look like the desired outcome.
The rule of law? What a joke.
I wouldn't have thought so and would have considered it crazy, but lately looking like it may well be possible. Even the mid term election, until not too long ago it was looking like Rs would lose the House. But lately, even that isn't looking so sure. As always, the Dem wave is always in the future, just around the corner.
More similarities then left leaning citizens want to admit but unlike so many right leaning buffoons we admit it about our own party. Or that's what I see any way.I didn't bother to bring up Republicans in all this because we know what they are. I'm beginning to realize that in some things the Dems might sadly be the same at least if their apologists are any indication.

So in order to protect your party, you'll defend a lack of proper condemnation and support for the rule of law because you are worried that the Trump Faithful will continue to do what they'll do anyway.

Shifting the goalposts from prosecution to impeachment, huh? Your concerns are oh-so duly noted. You're just trying to discourage people from turning out to vote for Dems in November. There are plenty of reasons to vote against the GOP aside from Trump.
I'll just go with whatever the special counsel's report indicates is the proper course of action. If that's impeachment, we'll start there. I still hold out hope that Trump has the sense to resign & accept a pardon from President Pence before it gets that far. You know, like Nixon. It would moot your bullshit entirely.
The way I see your argument and what you expect from the justice department will only fan the flames of a supposed Deep state conspiracy folks.This is all predicated that crimes occurred and that the DOJ has determined that criminal prosecutions are warranted, so "promising to throw him in jail" isn't part of the discussion.

You suck at equivalences.The way I see your response is that you see criminal accountability for a KKK murdering a black guy as fanning the flames of anti-black sentiment.
You suck at equivalences.
I had measure, #bothsides #whatboutismist. I hoped I was wrong but if what I suspect happens I just wanted to see if you supported a stand for justice or not, and I mean justice as properly defined. No witch hunt, but an effective prosecution if that's what the PROPER authorities call for and a stand for it on the part of the Democrats, yes a moral line in the sand. But if the Dems didn't call for impeachment for cause? You'd likely find an excuse.
I'll bookmark this thread for future reference to see who has a spine and who is a partisan toady.
What will be we shall see.
More goalpost shifting with innuendo, of course. "If the Dems didn't call for impeachment for cause" is just that. Dems would be just as bad as the GOP if they won't commit to your version of justice in advance of the facts. So don't vote for them, right?
You tear down the dirty Democrats like it's your job. Maybe it is for all I know.
Yep, just as expected. There's no innuendo. You and other apologists will cover the asses with "so don't vote for them" as if that had anything to do with the issue of taking a stand against Trump's administration even if the DOJ brings a prosecution. You are prepping for that now because. No sense of right and wrong? No problem! Moving goalposts? This thread was never about Republicans, but you and yours.
But if the Dems didn't call for impeachment for cause? You'd likely find an excuse.
Then why did nothing happen? Why was she not locked up? Republicans have had the power in the government other than the presidency for years, why didn't they lock her up? Is it just one big liberal conspiracy?
Then why is Trump and everyone he knows under investigation and people have already been indicted when the entire government is under Republican control? Still a liberal conspiracy?
