If you mishandle classified documents you have access to as part of your job, you can be punished by your employer and even fired. But people don’t get charged with a crime unless the prosecutors believe they can prove intent to a jury. And mere possession is not sufficient to establish intent. This really isn’t as hard or complicated as you seem to think it is.

Looking forward to a sudden and miraculous economic recovery on Jan 21.

Your solution for perceived political prosecution is to do *actual* political prosecution? Also, I think Trump would be pretty upset if all of the special counsel materials were made public. It would certainly be pretty bad for him and also set a bad precedent. But I would be lying if I didn't say there's a part of me that wouldn't mind seeing it happen.

I don't see how anything changes regarding the likelihood of success in prosecuting Biden. A new AG may think it's worth prosecuting anyway, but they would almost certainly lose. Just a waste of taxpayer money. As much as I'd love Jack Smith to make all of the evidence and documents public, it would go against practice and also be bad for Trump. Usually, at the end of a Special Counsel investigation, they submit a report. I'm not sure how that even plays out under these circumstances.

She’s likely going to finish closer to Biden than Obama when the counting is done. They raided people’s homes and sent them to jail for doing crimes. You’re free to ask dumb questions and believe in conspiracies. You’re not free to do crimes.

…the story names the people, bud. Reading is fundamental, but I guess only for some.

You guys really will believe anything, huh? 2020 was not stolen. GOP has had poll watchers in every election.

What? No way! Who could have known!? I’m sure a lot of people in this thread feel pretty silly right now…

Seems relevant

Almost as if we should trash the First Past the Post system in favor of a system that allows third parties to exist or even thrive without the Spoiler Effect…

Yes it is. Made the same dip sh!t mistake myself.

She absolutely wouldn’t because it’s not a real thing. It’s made up and has no basis in law or history.

This is correct: under the theory espoused by Trump’s team, Harris can declare that there was fraud and refuse to certify. Of course, that’s an extremely stupid interpretation of the law and an utterly ridiculous idea when given even a second’s thought.

I mean, he’s right

Have you ever heard of California?

So is (((Soros))) backed Dems furiously printing ballots out in back rooms.

California is the unfortunate combination of being very large and very slow to count votes. We just typically never care or notice because California hasn’t mattered in a presidential election in a long time. Add to that outstanding ballots to be counted across the country and mail in ballots still coming in, and I think we’ll see the total popular vote increase quite a bit before it’s all said and done.

One has to imagine that all of those people saying that the Dems were stealing elections have to feel pretty silly by now.

Create cheaper prices by adding tariffs to all imports!

FIFY

You really have to appreciate all the people here vociferously intent on proving me correct. Good job!

I’m certainly no saint. I have no problem calling out individuals for saying dumb sh!t. But I don’t view swaths of Americans as my enemy and I do not delight in their unhappiness. However, it does seem that a lot of people here are intent on proving my point, so thanks for that

Nah, just saying it’s gross to enjoy it when fellow Americans are unhappy.

An entire thread dedicated to reveling in fellow Americans being sad and disappointed. Pretty gross. A lot of people here just telling on themselves.
