Let's talk about the oft repeated phrase "a threat to democracy" we believe trump presents.

It's a viscous circle, ain't it?

No, but it's a vicious one.

The Biden admin had no control over, and furthermore played no role in, the decision by multiple grand juries to vote to indict trump for 91 felonies based on the evidence of his crimes.

Then why did Alvin Bragg and Fanni Willis coordinate with White House staff?

The DOJ is part of the current administration.

The bookkeeping case was filed seven years after the fact. Perfectly timed to interfere with the election.

Now I have to question the honesty of your entire OP.

No, but it's a vicious one.

“Viscous” makes sense also, since Democrats are so slippery when asked about their retribution via lawfare.

I'm not going down the rabbit hole of false allegations. Feel free to write a post about Bragg if you'd like. This one is about another subject.

There is no evidence of one. See post #151.

Has a SC appointment ever been successfully challenged before trump's judge's ruling?

That is a question about your source? The Washington Post?

My question was completely on topic. You lied to get out of answering my on-topic question. I called you on your lie about my on-topic question.

Clearly your personal definition of “retribution” includes a caveat that it “does not apply when Democrats do it.”

Trump attempted to overturn the result of the 2020 election and came remarkably close. He crossed a line, but instead of being punished, you reward him.

He did nothing illegal.

This goes beyond Trump, and speaks to the lack of commitment to democratic principles among a large swath of the country.

Complete garbage. It's the Democrat party that wants to end democracy.

 

[SweetSue92]

Cool. Let's talk about Jim Crowe. Should we have abided by those, were they just laws?

pknopp this is what I asked you. You answered with one word: yes.

 

[jc456]

I agree that Dems generally have become complacent about the posed threat. Lots of arm waving, too little action.

Assassins are little action? Disappointed cuck?

 

[SweetSue92]

I didnt say I loved all laws.

Strike three.

I specifically asked you if you meant what you claimed. I clarified, you said yes. All laws are good and should be abided by.

 

[jc456]

No. Please read Jack Smith's indictment.

Jack smith isn’t a legal opinion

Will you listen and understand criticisms of the Democratic party? Saying Trump threatens Democracy is false on more than one count. First he would have done it as president if that was his intention. Second this nation is not a Democracy at all. It is a Republic.
Let me explain it is a Republic. We know about Europe having many countries, different from each other. This nation was formed more like Europe is, in that each state is a special unit of it's own. We see Democrats yapping about packing the Supreme Court and also banning the Electoral College. If there is real danger to Democracy as you call it, Democrats present the danger.

Trump was hamstrung by two main factors in 2020. First is that the president has little to do with the elections to begin with. Second is that he lacked cooperation from many unknown midlevel bureaucrats to have any significant effect. For example, the prosecutors at DoJ refused his demand that they publish a statement calling the election fraudulent since such a statement would be lying to the American people since they did not have evidence of such.

Second, your discussion as to whether we are a democracy misses the point. We have democratic principles, that is we vote for president. I'm not entirely sure what your point is here. Are you trying to say he can't be a threat to democracy if we don't have democracy?

I fail to understand what banning the electoral college is a threat to democracy.

 

[Billiejeens]

He projects a lot.

He projects truth.

 

[Marener]

He did nothing illegal.

Complete garbage. It's the Democrat party that wants to end democracy.

Trump attempted to persuade Mike Pence to discard the electoral votes of 6 states. Let's assume you're right and that's all perfectly legal.

Isn't that still a threat to democracy?

 

[Billiejeens]

Jack smith isn’t a legal opinion

But, but.

He puts words on paper!

Only now?

 

[Marener]

Try this.

President Trump wants to slow down the flow of people from other countries coming across our border.

You may want to increase the flow because you see a need for low skill workers, people to supplement our declining birth rates or any reason.

That's a legitimate discussion.

Great. Start a thread on it. I don't think we need to derail this one.
