The Frankish Reich Posted May 31 Posted May 31 1 minute ago, Pokebball said: I have to say that the response from either side was probably predictable, right? I'm sad for the state of our country today. My quick take: Look it up. I never liked the idea of this prosecution. I thought it was ill-advised for various reasons, although I conceded that the legal theory was tighter than I imagined when the indictment was first issued. But the process was small-f fair, in that it was the process any criminal defendant gets. If you don't like that a prospective jury pool is liberal in NYC, well, then change your HQ to Palm Beach. Capital F "Fair" in a global sense? Well, sure. Argue about that all you want. In my experience I have never seen anyone prosecuted on gun possession charges for failing to disclose a drug addiction. Hunter Biden is being prosecuted for that. Sometimes who you are matters in a decision whether or not to prosecute.

Can we just send him to a small island to run things there? Isn't that what kings would do in olden times, when outright killing was a bit too harsh? How the heck did Napoleon get to live out his days in exile?

Isn't that what kings would do in olden times, when outright killing was a bit too harsh? How the heck did Napoleon get to live out his days in exile? Exactly. And I'm a realist. If he had just slinked back to Mar-a-Lago and continued selling condos to sheiks I don't think he would've been prosecuted. But no, like Napoleon he just had to come back for more. Shakespeare knew how these things end. 1 1

Sh!!tlibs don’t seem to understand that if Trump’s in jail or not, it has no affect on us WHATSOEVER. I have to drag my sorry azz to work each and every day, no matter who the POTUS is.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted May 31 Posted May 31 23 minutes ago, Pokebball said: This is the definition of the ends justifying the means No. Financial crimes are easier to prove. It’s why the FBI has many CPAs. A legitimate successful prosecution of a crook on financial grounds is normal and smart.
Mark Vader Posted May 31 Posted May 31 1 minute ago, L Ron Burgundy said: Ah, they should be allowed to commit crimes then? Which ones? Can they kill? Steal? Define where the line here is. A silly question. The obvious answer is none of these. Being tried because you are a threat to someone's power is not a crime. That's where the line is. Yet, we've seen numerous politicians tried for crimes in this country's history before, and it mostly ends up being a slap on the wrist no matter what. 1

Re your mention of my tenure here, I must have been a 1 man wrecking ball cuz other than Conner, I was the only poster left of Attila the Hun here. I came for fun and the occasional challenge.
