America's First-Ever Stalinist Trial

[SweetSue92]

From the Spectator. It's over. No one trusts the institutions. But the dunderheads here can be happy they got Trump.

It can be interesting to spend some time picking among the ruins of a once-great civilization. The ruins can be physical, as in they are, for example, in ancient Egypt or ancient Rome. But they can also be as it were metaphysical, as they are whenever a society somehow outlasts is animating vitalities.

The United States was built on the ideal of equality before the law. The very words now ring with a mournful quaintness. Who still believes them? As we troll through the vacated monuments of our civilization, we’ll often be reminded of David Hume’s observation that it is seldom that freedom is lost all at once.

In my Criminal Justice class the professor said that justice in the United States depends upon whose court you are in, how good your lawyer is and how much money you have. What did Trump in, was, whose court he was in and the judge's instruction to the jury to, "go find a crime."

Awwww, look at the little Marxist being his little Marxist self!

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Why do you despise all libertarian political principles?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

"Show us the Trump and we'll show you the crime".

 

[westwall]

Why do you despise all libertarian political principles?

Because the harpy is a fascist pig. He supports the libtard chase Oliver, a fucking antifa Marxist open borders jackass.

It is damn cute you think trump holds any libertarian principles

I love it when people show off their ignorance

I didn't say that Trump is a libertarian.

Your support for this strong-armed Stalinism is the issue, here.

Trump had a trial by a jury of his peers.

He will be afforded the opportunity to appeal the ruling.

If that fails he will then have the opportunity to appeal the denied appeal.

And because of who he is, he will likely be able to appeal all the way to SCOTUS, even though they should have no say in the matter at all.

The is the very opposite of Stalinism.

Again, you do a fine job of showing off your ignorance.

Yes, you support the weaponization of the legal system to attack political enemies. Your belief in the maxim " show me the man and I'll show you the crime is much in evidence.

It highlights flaws that have been around for years and years.
How many jurors did Trump have?

I am a sound sleeper. No guilty conscience, here, as I am not out to fool my fellow posters into thinking I am something I am not.

But, I will never be a Trump worshipping drone like you....so I have that going for me.
