OMG that has to be one of the most pathetic things I've ever read lollol the Trumpkins are totally melting down. I had to double check but this is apparently not a parody. Lol.
Most folks here probably understand that.Any Republican that would replace Manchin is a dog turd. Manchin is a dog turd with a piece of grass sticking out. Yes, it’s possible to carry him by that grass to get stuff done whereas trying to lift any Republican replacement would would just get shit on your hand. I think folks understand that. Being a piece of shit with a handle is too low of bar for being a hero.
With his current announcement, replacing Sotomayor just became a much less sure bet.
While 9/12 read the NYT, none had AT P&N. Rigged!Ooof. I hope this gets more coverage.
Mentally he is I guess?What kind of moron lists themselves as "Alpha Male"? Seriously? What are we, in 5th grade?
We've been living with that scenario since Ford pardoned Nixon. While I'm quite pleased to see Trump face the legal consequences of criminal activity he engaged in out of office, I'd be much more pleased to see a President face legal consequences for crimes committed while in office. At some point, we need to close the door on Ford's pardon.I wonder if all the people who are so concerned about the prospect of prosecuting a former president thought about the consequences of letting presidents know they can commit crimes with impunity.
I wasn't calling him a troll so much as calling out his first post in the thread a troll. Very subtle distinction, and in some sense superfluous.gothuevos isn't a new troll. He's been around a long time and is known to panic over the smallest things.
I don't think I have ever called anybody a Troll. In the first place that would mean I can tell when somebody is lying about what they believe and when somebody is stating what they actually believe but what they believe is a lie. How would you know one from the other. Would that not depend on what you personally believe about the other person and would what you believe about them relate to what you believe generally as to what the truth is. What I believe is that people believe things that I do not believe and that becomes an issue because I don't believe in anything which for me makes anybody who believes in anything a troll of some kind, no? So how can everybody be a troll but me and those who don't believe all the horse shit that people believe.I wasn't calling him a troll so much as calling out his first post in the thread a troll. Very subtle distinction, and in some sense superfluous.
I realize he's been around, my comment was just pertaining to his sudden appearance in this thread and in particular his first post here AFAIK, yesterday, I believe. He was full of himself and had nothing substantive to add. I doubt he'd read the thread so far. WTH should we give a shit what he thinks, was my reaction. It was a troll!
Hard to gauge the electorate these days, but I bet a not insignificant number of voters may now vote for him just to "vote for a felon."
You could argue this is offset by the number of GOP voters who would abandon Trump over a conviction. This number is probably 0. The "RINOs" left awhile ago already.
Furthermore, Nixon was never convicted of anything, nor admitted any guilt.We've been living with that scenario since Ford pardoned Nixon.

You can't allow him to overthrow the government and ignore all laws because his supporters are part of a cult. The real take away from Hitler is that you actually have to punish insurrectionists and not give them the opportunity to seek power. This is why the 14th amendment bans insurrectionists from running, too bad the supreme court doesn't actually follow the Constitution.
I am 100% for vote blue across the board. Easy to recommend these days for everyone. No biggie for me because I have never voted for a Republican.100% you need to punish insurrectionists.
You see the hissy fit the GQP is throwing about Judge Merchan presiding over Trump's trial? They are painting him as a partisan hack, since he has contributed $250 or something like that to some Democrat politicians. And also that his daughter, Loren Merchan, works for a digital campaign firm, which does run campaigns for Democratic politicians. They totally forget the fucking partisan hacks like Uncle Thomas Clarence and Samuel Alito who have wives actively working to fuck over the nation.
I am very close to feeling that the only way for this country to change is to become just as radicalized as the right. At this point, I'm not sure what else will help push change. Maybe the only way to get the GQP is to fight fire with fire.
if Nixon took the pardon, he admitted guilt. It’s a requirement for accepting a pardon.Furthermore, Nixon was never convicted of anything, nor admitted any guilt.
I didn't think pardons worked that way?
That would be logical though, logic didn't get them to where they are, so logic won't get them out of it. It's purely emotional, so they'll thrive in that emotional environment.-Honestly I would find the conservative position much more respectable and honest if the line was "Yeah, sure, he's guilty but I don't agree with the law and will be voting for him anyway" or even "Yeah he's guilty, but still the best choice for president" Rather than this political persecution BS.
I mean there are plenty of laws I would be pro-jury nullification. Not this one, but plenty where someone might violate the letter of a law that I just don't agree with. So I could see an argument from that perspective.
Did Nixon ever accept the pardon? I don't recall that he did. Since he was never prosecuted, there was no incentive to accept it.O

I like how NPR isn't even on the list. I guess it's still just for weirdie neck beards.Ooof. I hope this gets more coverage.

Did those countries have an extreme right wing agenda ready to be enacted as soon as the opposition party took office with plans to consolidate power indefinitely?And that other counties like France, Italy, etc have done this and it’s fine. People acting like this is without precedent in first world democracies are full of shit.
People are only truly ready to DIE when they have nothing to lose. The right wing American cosplayers are pussies and wannabes with houses and 401Ks. If they take to arms, kill a few of them and watch them all fold like blowhard origami.Did those countries have an extreme right wing agenda ready to be enacted as soon as the opposition party took office with plans to consolidate power indefinitely?
Or did any of those countries have a heavily armed populace willing to commit violence?
There are some uniquely American aspects to this that make it way different than anything any European country has done.
But if MAGAtards did riot, how much force will local law enforcement go? Will state police or federal national guard be needed?People are only truly ready to DIE when they have nothing to lose.

Your first question doesn't make much sense to me as written, but assuming I can correctly guess what I think you're getting at I would answer thus:But if MAGAtards did riot, how much force will local law enforcement go? Will state police or federal national guard be needed?
