Their hands don't lie: Republican candidates trash the trial by jury

[cnm]

we are a republic not a democracy

Did FoxNews leave you off their memo list?

 

[Crepitus]

So you will cheer when Joe Biden is indicted?

Find a crime first.

This is further proof that the GOP wasn’t ‘corrupted’ by Trump.

Trump is the product of a long-corrupt GOP.

Adam_Clayton here is a hack. He willingly ignores the lengthy history of the Democrap Party corruption.

That we incorporate tepid pieces of democracy within the framework of our Constitutional republic does not make us a democracy. You libturds are simpletons.

IS the act of taking over a building ...the same thing as over throwing a government?

I don't know, but I think preventing the peaceful transfer of power is the same thing.

“There were two surrenders this week — one by Donald Trump, and one to Donald Trump.

The second, by almost every Republican presidential candidate, was more important, more predictable and far more terrifying.

The signature moment of Wednesday’s debate was the raising of hands to pledge fealty to Trump over the rule of law, and if the ritual has become unsurprising at this point in Trump’s reign over the GOP, this particular manifestation bears noting.

Because the formulation put to the candidates — would you support Trump even if he were convicted by a jury? — was so stark, and the response so appalling. Every candidate on the stage — with the exception of former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson and, depending on how you interpret his hand gestures, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie — effectively declared that a trial by jury is just another American institution that must yield to the demands of Trump.”

It was a declaration by the Republican presidential candidates that they not only have contempt for trial by jury but contempt for the rule of law itself.

Exactly..the cult of MAGA is a criminal organization. Has any if them threatened murder on the board today yet?

 

[Yarddog]

There has been no trial by jury, moron.

exactly. They dont need no trial! they dont need no jury! Trump is Guilty! he's a felon! and actually thats been true for them all for the last 4 years at least.

There is no “cult” of MAGA. And there is nothing criminal about the precepts of MAGA.

The question was would you support trump over xiden in an election…it had nothing to do with the jury.

A convicted trump is still a better option then four more years of xiden

How did you miss that???

When the people are smart enough to see when constitutional due process is set aside, when honesty, ethics, fair play goes out the window., when it is obvious that there is a well funded, well orchestrated deep state plot to take out a political opponent whatever it takes and by any means necesssary however unethical, unfair, evil. . .

Constitutional leaders respect the people.

If those of us who still believe in a government for, of, and by the people choose their candidate despite the best efforts of a rogue government to destroy that candidate, those Republicans who raised their hands were saying they will accept the will of the people.

Group think neo-Marxists of course will characterize them as the OP did.

Honorable people will not.

Trump's claim of a stolen election is the continuation of his attempted coup.
Whether the coup succeeded or failed is still to be established.

Is the coup justified? We've heard many talking points to say that it is!

I tend to agree that most are quite valid.

No stolen election can ever go unanswered by an attempted coup to uphold government.

No attempted coup attempt must ever survive unanswered by patriots with immediate and final force of arms.

feelings are not a factor when discussing facts,,

I'll cheer if he's convicted.

You cheer when American soldiers are killed. So there's that.

Easy peasy. Bribery.

Yes, when the building is the seat of government.

FBI did not find ANY significant amount of collusion between groups present that day..outside of their own groups.. and the thousands of people there did not have any coordination with each other to overthrow a government. The FBI investigation came up with nothing.... all this put on TRump for holding a rally that day, where he didnt even call for anyone to break into the capitol....and actually his words asking marchers to walk peacefully to protest were conveniently edited out over and over again... for people just like you.

Support your attempted coup with patriotic conviction. Be prepared to overthrow corrupt government that has stolen an elections.

This is exactly the reason why you have the right to bear arms!

How disappointed are you that no one has indicted for a coup attempt.
