I was posting about due process. Then I was labeled a Trump cultist. Yeah, no thanks.-

Sorry I mistook you for a Trump supporter.
Who will you be voting for in '24?
The way things look to be going, most likely my wife, again. She got my vote in ‘16 and in ‘20.She’s a born-and-raised NYC liberal Democrat, by the way.

He tried to follow up, but was stopped.
President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

You, like all of his cult members are always unaware of reality or lying.
And it's always incredibly easy to catch you.
You don't read my posts , do you.
What's with the name calling? Very juvenile.

Trying to commit crimes remains illegal, no matter what you believe and no matter now much your leader claims otherwise.
Now you folks are squealing like pigs and your god continues to lash out at everyone.
He spent a lifetime stealing in corporate life. The rules are different when you commit these types of crimes.
He can't just say F you to this stuff and walk away.

Don’t confuse the result with the effort. Our collective standards for what passes for acceptable behavior for our leaders had fallen off of a cliff since 2016. Not my standard, mind you. Bit apparently yours has so declined.
Mine have not. I hate it. But I’m not going to go play who started it. It’s been declining before Trump. He accelerated it.

It was one of the first indications of his desire to violate norms. He couldn’t incarcerate her. We know that. But did he? And would he have tried? And is his lack of effort indicative of anything other than incompetence? (How are the wall and repeal and replace going?)
His behavior over the next four years suggests that he would have tried to incarcerate her if laziness/opportunity didn’t intervene. And, word salad/hyperbole isn’t an excuse for what he encouraged. There’s a big difference between a campaign slogan (for example, change we can believe in, morning in America, or even make America great again) and a repeated call to incarcerate a political opponent.
So your answer is no. He didn’t jail anyone during his four years in office without due process.
Thanks — and talk about a word salad. Nice post there.

What do you think due process is? because it's currently happening, like this is the process.
Did you miss my earlier post where I said that this current case against Trump affords him due process?It’s up on the prior page.

Hoax. It was a call to jail a political opponent without due process with which the intended beneficiary (Trump) agreed.
Hoax. It was a campaign slogan that he did nothing to advance once he got into office.
He had 4 years to follow up. Do you think he was actually going to throw her in jail without due process? Did locking people up without due process happen to anyone during his term?

While it's easy to make light of the situation and sarcasm is justified, the damage the Democrats are doing to our system of justice is a national tragedy.
Swift justice is one thing, but predetermined justice is no justice at all.
Due process and thorough consideration are the cornerstones of a fair legal system, and their absence will destroy the public’s trust required for our system of justice to operate.
This isn’t predetermined justice. It’s an indictment. In this case they didn’t “investigate the man to find a crime”. They investigated things that happened and claim that those efforts broke the law. The Defendants will have their opportunity. RICO cases are pretty easy to prove.
48 minutes ago, SectionC3 said:Lock her up!
That’s not predetermined justice. That was a campaign slogan. And (unless my memory is bad) I don’t know any investigation made by Trump’s justice department that went after Clinton for her emails — even though the FBI Director had said that there were likely laws that she broke. -

You’re seeking confirmation bias it’s nothing more than that. If you can’t find some thing from a neutral new station to post on here and continue to post right wing propaganda, no one is going to take you seriously except for other right wing propagandists sit in your echo chamber if you like
Can you point me to a news station that’s generally accepted as being neutral?Just like people say that Redsatate.com is right wing propaganda, there’s about half the country who’d claim that NYTimes.com is the opposite. It is a real problem.

Why did the russians choose trump's candidacy to support by disinformation and propaganda? Mueller concluded this clearly occurred.
Why did the Clinton campaign use Russians and a Brit to use disinformation and propaganda? Durham concluded this clearly occurred.
Both sides clearly pay dirty games.
3 minutes ago, redtail hawk said:just because it wasn't proven by the investigation doesn't mean it didn't happen. Mueller shoved the ball back to congress who promptly dropped it . Mueller also said what I posted above
I said he overcame accusations of being a a Russian stooge. I didn't say he isn't or wasn't a Russian stooge. It really does appear that he wasn't a Russian stooge. My point, however, is that Biden never was forced to overcome accusations that he was taking money on the side while VP, and that's what gets people upset.

i'll also note that Nixon/Watergate comes closest to what the Republicans are trying to get at with Hunter Biden. Nixon was informed about Watergate by at least June 20, 1972 - 4.5 months before the election. That was the day that resulted in the famous 18 minute gap in his recorded conversation with Haldeman. But of course he and his campaign hushed it up until long after the election was over. So it is a "B" type of election interference.
But not even then did anyone say Nixon "stole" the election because of that. It was "Nixon should be kicked out of office because of his role in covering up what happened." People still voted for him in overwhelming numbers. This "but what if they had known [x]" thing just becomes way too attenuated to support the use of the word "steal" or "rigged."
This is why I do think the Hunter investigation is far from over, and that it should continue until some key questions (what did Joe know and when did he know it?) are resolved.
I think what gets people upset is that in 2016 there was a push to get the Russiagate investigations into the news whereas in 2020 there was a push to keep the laptop and any investigation of it out of the news. Trump didn't steal the 2016 election and he overcame accusations of being a Russian stooge. Biden didn't steal the 2020 election but he probably benefitted from other people suppressing some news that could have hurt his chances.
I agree that the Hunter thing is far from over, and it could easily affect the 2024 election. I doubt Biden will run because of this, or because of his health. Or they'll use his health as the excuse while the Hunter thing is the real reason.

That's called gaslighting
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.
Comes from an Ingrid Bergman movie called "Gaslight".

Early on, the expectation was that Russia would roll Ukraine and decapitate the government within days of launching the war.
In the face of that, it would be understandable for Ukraine to want to broker a peace deal even if they got a bad deal.
Since then, Ukraine has proven effective at combating a Russian army that is weak from corruption and ignorance. Ukraine now hopes to regain all of its territory, not just what has been taken in the last year.
In addition to that, the Russians have been committing atrocities and war crimes. From torture and mass murder in places like Bucha, to beheading POWs and other horrors.
Given that and Russia’s lack of trustworthiness, any peace deal signed now would likely only serve to buy Putin time to reorganize and resupply his forces before violating the deal and continuing his murderous rampage.
So why would Ukraine sue for peace now? And what would we gain by pressuring them to do so? It doesn’t make any sense.
If Ukraine can gain the upper hand with its upcoming advances, it might put itself in a position where Russia will have to listen to its demands. In the meantime, asking for “peace” is really just asking to give Russia more time to organize and kill more people.
Just my two cents...
Ukraine would be smart to seek peace if their planned counteroffensive is successful and they cut off the "land bridge" to Crimea that the Russians have built. Then Ukraine has leverage. If they fail, then Ukraine should look for some sort of cease-fire agreement because they will be overextended, and Russia will likely be able to take advantage of a Ukrainian failure.
But anyway, here's hoping that the US and anyone else who cares makes a push to end the fighting.
There's no reason why the US would want anyone to keep fighting -- other than to divert resources which should be conserved for the impending conflict with China that this administration (and the previous administration) and the press have been ginning up support for (with a big assist from China). Another issue is that the harder this administration pushes, the more likely that Russia and China will form some sort of indispensable alliance. As it is presently, their friendship looks fairly shaky.
What's the US "to gain" from ending a struggle that nominally affects our interests? Even if Ukraine fails to takes back and hold land touching the Black Sea, the US and NATO should consider the result a success. Western Europe has cut its energy dependence from Russia, NATO has presumably been made stronger, the Eastern European countries in NATO are now extra vigilant and a strong bloc, Russia has been shown to be a less than formidable fighting force. Add the possibility that Putin may have some domestic troubles of his own. Seems like the US has gained a lot already.
Our country hasn't indicated that they have seriously considered what the "end" of this conflict will look like. If they haven't, then that's a colossal mistake. If they have, then they should make it look like they've got some level of competence regarding this matter --other than throwing war material and excessive amounts of cash at their proxy. Maybe that would quiet down their critics -- who at this point have an argument to make in the absence of any coherent policy.

I've actually gone over 2 times to speak with him and he never answers the door. 2 days ago he he actually dumped a bag of leaves he had cleaned up at some point this fall and blew them all under my deck. I went running outside and told him he was being rude, trespassing and if I ever saw him on my property again or if he aimed him blower in the direction of my house I would contact the police and a lawyer. He laughed and said I didn't know you were home 🤬
He f@$#&d around and he is definitely going to find out. Probably the legal way though. 🤷
Surprisingly there are laws about booby traps on your own property. I looked 🤣
Set the leaves on fire and blow them back into his yard.

The Yankees have 5 more years of Giancarlo Stanton.
I guess they wanted two Giancarlo Stantons. Because that’s their future, IMO.

Tough call on the offside. So many disallowed goals this cup from Offside by an inch or two.
I think the rule used to be that the player had to be completely past the defender for offside.
And I think the rule was changed to "any part" of the player needs to be past the defender. That's why we're seeing so many more close offside calls.

Iran looks to be MLS quality.
US has to keep up the pressure, like they're still tied. At this point, if US ties or loses it will be a serious disappointment.
