Can't wait for these charges to finally be the ones to get him I don't care if he gets convicted of anything. I just want this to be seen as a black spot in US history so that it never happens again. And those who are concerned about fraud, they should also be upset with what happened because what Trump did will make it that much harder for people to believe in fraud claims in the future, if fraud ever does actually happen Edited June 10, 2022 by spartan max2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is if this doesn't touch him it practically gives him martyr status which will make his die-hard supporters twice as rabid and also really make the democrats look like not only complete morons but also unhinged.

Do you deny he did these things or do you just not see it as a problem? “That Trump pressed the department of justice to call the election fraud?” Don’t care. “Pressing” someone to do something is an everyday occurrence. You are pressing me to address this list, “That Trump then tried to replace that department of justice ?” Trump tried to replace the department of justice? Not really sure what you are talking about. Did this involve something illegal? “That Trump pressed the vice president to overturn the election?” Another “pressing” of someone to do something they can’t. “That Trump contacted officials in Georgia telling them to overturn the election? “ So Trump called someone, told them to do something he can’t tell them to do and something they also can’t do and didn’t do? “That Trump didn't call off his supporters who were storming the capital despite many calls to him telling him to do that and that? “ He did. He tweeted and then went on air and told them to go home. He told them to remain peaceful before the riot too, Maybe not as choppity chop-chop as you would have liked but he wasn’t cheering them on and rationalizing the violence like Democrats did for an entire year, So, your complaints about timelines are moot, So which one is the illegal one? 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bed of chaos Posted June 10, 2022 #84 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Can we get an investigation into the four guards who committed 'suicide' over broken glass.

Since this seems to be the only thing you care about, I'll ask. Let's assume no charges will ultimately be able to be pressed. Do you support what Trump did?

Tatetopa Posted June 10, 2022 #88 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Trying to stop the counting of votes in Congress, is obstruction and it is illegal. Trying to coerce state officials to falsifying vote totals is racketeering. Promoting false slates of electors is a crime. Sitting for three hours watching a riot tear through the capital is not a crime, but it is likely something Vladimir Putin was doing in his official residence. It is not something you would expect ANY President of the United States to do no matter how egregiously he thinks he was treated. If a President cannot pursue his options through a judicial system full of conservative judges he appointed, but relies on violence, he is unfit to be president. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, overturning an election is not illegal. Yup. I'm with you. As you said, nothing Trump tried to do was illegal. The Democrats need to take a step back, say Trump was right, and the precedence has been set. The next election, the votes don't matter. The Vice President throws out the electoral votes he says are fraudulent, and the President is hand picked. We really don't even need to have an election in 2024... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should care about the hypothetical of Trump maybe “not caring” about the legality of what he was doing? Should I care about it more than any of the other politically slanted takes the media and Democrats have “pressured” the public into believing? Kyle Rittenhouse was a white Supremacists? The catholic covington boys were racists who surrounded and taunted an innocent Native American? Trump colluded with Russia? Brett Kavanaugh is a gang rapist? Amy Coney Barrett Is a racist? Trump refused to denounce Nazis? Trump called Nazis very fine people? Jesse Smolette was a modern day lynching? Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation? The list goes on and on and the media’s margin for error is always slanted to the left. Help me out, name a story the media got wrong and reported it incorrectly in the favor of the political right? People get things wrong, mistakes happen. However, when the “mistakes” are always in favor of a specific political narrative that’s not an error.

It’s one thing to give objective consideration to accusations about someone else (which I did when the Russia allegations first were made) but it’s entirely something else to be accused of something yourself that you know you are not guilty of. If someone accused you of being a deplorable racist Nazi, would that lend credence to other claims they make?

Also you continue to ignore that Trump knew what he wanted to do was unconstitutional and his law team avoided court challenges on these things ahead of time because they knew that.
