So on Tuesday when Trump gets arrested…

[Ray From Cleveland]

Disagree.

The lawful, appropriate, and warranted prosecution of Trump would be a reaffirmation of the rule of law and our democratic institutions serving to unite the American people.

See if you say that when they lead Hunter away in handcuffs.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Yeah. Holding people accountable for the crimes they commit. Unbelievable. What is this country coming to?

Is that why Hunter is in prison for tax evasion and lying on a federal firearms application when he illegally purchased his gun?

 

[Circe]

Now it’s you screaming “lock him up”…does that make you any better?

More effective, maybe, if they actually send jackbooted troops to haul him off.

You think a politically motivated for show arrest is going to unite the country? That is so far detached from reality, I don’t even know what to say about that…

I’m sure it’ll be a show…

And he could win from right there…

From the link provided by the poster j-mac:

"Alvin Bragg (D) is an experienced attorney and a former chief deputy attorney general of New York. For over twenty years, Bragg has committed himself to defending the rights of New Yorkers without status or power. He is running to become the next Manhattan District Attorney to bring his professional and lived experiences to the forefront of criminal justice reform. If elected, Bragg would become the first Black District Attorney to lead the Manhattan DA’s office."

Notably, there was no mention of Bragg being a "leftist"....a "liberal"....a 'Commie'.....a 'Socialist'.....or to use the too common epithet of MAGALoonery ---"fucktard'.

people are going to believe that these charges are politically motivated, not just Trump supporters. Turning him into a victim is what they’re doing.

 

[eddiew37]

Are we going to see him in handcuffs? And will they show his mugshot?



Personally I don’t think there’s anything good that can come from this, just a more fractured country.

Really It won't show the world that in America there's NOBODY above the law?? With howling banshee republicans blasting every Dem move how can it be anything but fractured?

Cherry picking is fun isn’t it?

The jury meets Monday? I had thought i read it was Tuesday...?

Me too.....

 

[Chillicothe]

This arrest would be political and not criminal.

OK, but then there is that 'crime' element to indictments and arrests.
It seems to be a requisite.
I betcha they suspect there was one.
No?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

They were political impeachments without any merit.

ALL impeachments are political. The House is not a law enforcement agency.

As far as 'without merit'.....well, there is that vote thingy they went through.
I would suggest that by definition that gives the impeachments merit.
No?

It's called accountability.

When are Biden or Pelosi going to be held accountable?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

It has nothing to do with it. It's a matter of fact we have a two-tier justice system in this country and it needs to end. It's the very idea that if you go against Big Brother, you will pay one way or another even if they have to find an outstanding parking ticket to ruin your life.

I know that's the kind of government leftists want this country to be, but we real Americans are against tyranny.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yep, politicians say all sorts of crazy things….Rhetoric is really an art form…But, it’s when you take that nonsense seriously, it makes me wonder how easily you are duped…

I wish we could go back to a time when politicians could actually debate their differences with ideas, instead of pejorative labels….But, that would take reasonable people, not the name calling, label attaching hacks we see today….

Reason, and sound argument used to be a thing that made us great, are any of us striving for that today? Sadly no…

It is by design. The more the people fight each other, the more those in power can get away with.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

See if you say that when they lead Hunter away in handcuffs.

I will, when it happens

 

[Harpy Eagle]

And he could win from right there…

He could not win from outside the slammer.

I can’t really speak about the specific charges because I haven’t followed much of the case. But regardless of the merit or lack there of of the charges, most people will see it the way you are describing it.

No. I know people have said the House can impeach a ham sandwich if they want.

That doesn't give the impeachment merit, no.
