I’ve got bad news for you: Trump is going going to be an autocrat. She should be stopped by the course. I’m not going to become anything, and you bizarrely seem to think that the thing I hate about the republicans is that criminals go to jail, but that’s really not anything to do with what I dislike about the republicans.
Vote Kamala Harris and your sisters, wives and daughters might stop dying for lack of health care when pregnant. Allow Trump to regain power and it will get much, much worse for the women you care about.
You’re misunderstanding me. It doesn’t blow my mind that a Democrat should go to jail if they break the law, of course they should.
Great.
I wholeheartedly agree that everyone should be subject to the rule of law and that both republicans and democrats should be tried for their crimes.
Yeah. This.
A few months ago I would have agreed with you that Trump ought to be locked up.
Aw, shoot. (Not literally, of course.) And we were getting along so well.
If he had been locked up 18 months ago, that would have been fantastic.
Hooray!
However, after much thought I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way forward is for him to be beaten in the election.
Dangit. He should still be locked up. Republicans will be outraged. Outraged, I tell you, every time Republican felons go to jail for crimes they did commit, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen.
I keep answering the question again and again and it keeps blowing your mind and you think I mustn’t mean it.
I want the courts to decide who is guilty and apply the law. No matter who. I don’t think ex presidents should be above the law, and very very very much neither did the founding fathers.
What I don’t want the courts to do is ignore the law just because someone is a Republican, and you think I can’t possibly mean it and that there’s a massive gotcha for me because there’s a theoretical possibility that a Democrat candidate would go to jail, but the crazy thing is that I really do think that that’s how the law should work.
It’s called the rule of law, and republicans think it means they can put people they don’t like in jail, but actually it just means following the rules irrespective of who the person is.
I don’t know why you think someone should escape punishment just because they might be elected, particularly if they’re guilty of crimes that are supposed preclude them from being president.
If the electorate is stupid enough to elect an insurrectionist and serial bankruptee then public institutions including courts must allow them to do so. That’s a fundamental inescapable component of democracy.
No, the constitution says he’s ineligible to be president because he’s an insurrectionist. Just the same as Arnold Schwarzenegger is ineligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the USA. It’s not election interference to keep Trump off the ballot paper any more than it is to keep Arnie off the ballot paper, and it doesn’t matter how many people want Arnie or Trump as president, those are the rules of the election. He ought not to be on the ballot paper and the courts should have ruled on this years ago. “BuT DemOCracy” doesn’t overrule the constitution. If you want a different constitution, you need to get it through the process of passing an amendment, but as it stands, he’s ineligible.
I find it tedious too that the Republican party would pick an insurrectionist and serial bankruptee as their candidate and then get butthurt if the courts do their job, somehow believing that Trump’s electoral desires outweigh the legal process. I bet if it were a Democrat who was up on felony charges you’d be demanding that they be denied bail!
he purpose of traffic wardens is to direct traffic. The purpose of teachers is to educate children. The purpose of courts does not include influencing elections.
Actually, the purpose of courts is to enforce the law. It’s only of influence in the election because Donald Trump is a 44-time convicted felon and an insurrectionist who is barred from the presidency by the constitution. He brought that all on himself, and didn’t think of the consequences.
This is more like you’re a traffic warden and when people park across the middle of a busy intersection, you do nothing and then claim you don’t want to affect the traffic.
If you’re a teacher and you let the kids play on their phones all year, have you influenced the learning?
Inaction is a choice and has consequences.
Letting guilty insurrectionists run for re-election in clear contravention of the constitution isn’t affecting the election in any way in your view?
Netanyahu is not feeling restrained in the least by Biden.
No. If he was, he wouldn’t be doing the genocide thing.
He’s feeling encouraged by geriatric genocidal Trump.
Presumably by your logic, individual gun shop owners are responsible for the all the deaths of children in school shootings in the USA, so you want to select as many Democrats as possible to stop the Republicans from blocking gun controls.
It’s not irrelevant. He’s a hair’s breadth from becoming commander in chief and then it won’t be 10% or 20% of Palestinians killed, it’ll be all of them. Trump really is that lunatic and that genicodal. Next he’ll deport or put into camps all the Muslims in America. He’ll not murder them in the street, he has his friend Netanyahu to do that, the people who he promised to shoot are the leftists.
Trump is spending time and effort unravelling whose ceasefire deal? Biden’s.
So like a true trump supporter, you blame the democrats for what the republicans are doing.
I didn’t call you a political purist. You’re really not. I called out your sham “voter purity” where you pretend to care about Gaza and then advocate for lunatic geriatric genocidal trump to win.
How is letting Donald “finish them” “best king of Israel” “Biden is trying to hold Netanyahu back, he should do the opposite” Trump (who admits he is on the phone almost daily convincing Netanyahu NOT TO CEASEFIRE) not going to be WORSE for Gaza.
If you even gave the tiniest of real shits about the Palestinian people, you would drop your sham “voter purity” nonsense and campaign as hard as you could for the one person who can possibly keep him from becoming commander in chief at a time when we really need an emotionally mature grown up in the White House: Kamala Harris.
Nope. It falls into the same category as milk or eggs.
Now if you’re vegan for ethical reasons because you object to the exploitation of animals, you might make an exception on the grounds that cum is usually very enthusiastically given, but then again free range dairy cows are always very enthusiastic about milking time too, so you’ll have to be a bit more nuanced than that and include informed consent or something.
Glad we could talk.
Take heart from her announcing a more than doubled federal minimum wage at $15. It’s not going to make anyone rich, but that’ll make a big difference to a lot of very poorly paid workers.
They want men to choose who lives or dies. They absolutely do not want women to be in charge of anything. That’s why no exceptions in the case of rape and incest. A man made a decision, they don’t want a woman to have the power to reverse it.
Thanks, I hate it.
