Gromnir Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The Cases Against Trump: A Guide the article perhaps oversimplifies a smidge, but am not finding fault in the overall analysis save to note am viewing the fulton, georgia case with a bit less ambivalence. "Willis has the advantage of the recording of the Raffensperger call, which is close to a smoking gun." the thing is, there is now three confirmed recordings o' trump pressuring people to find him votes in georgia. david ralston and an investigator from the georgia state secretary's office also made recordings. is a small armory o' smoking guns? how many smoking guns is needed to make one confident about a prosecutor's chances? have said previous, and am reiterating, any jury trial involving trump is gonna be uncertain. that said, we would have an extreme difficult time explaining why the people o' georgia did not pursue charges 'gainst trump. converse, we mentioned in an earlier post how am not confident 'bout the ny case, but am admitted not an expert on ny law. 'course am not even certain what is the charges which may be brought in the ny case, although the speculation 'bout crimes for which trump may be held accountable is based on decent information as 'posed to pure conjecture. even so, bragg's efforts is resulting in more angst than am thinking is warranted. mar-a-lago and fulton is where we believe trump is most vulnerable. is serious vulnerability in both cases.

Okay but thats the same example as saying " people aren't considered people due to unjust laws " @Gorth examples are valid, for example in Apartheid SA non-white people were denied basic rights that are mandatory when we define what a citizen is So if your point is "Laws and rules that protects people only protects those you consider people" I would disagree that exists in any country where any of us live because being a citizen grants you certain inalienable rights Arent you talking about economic inequality, thats not the same thing as not being seen as a person like in Burma or the US or SA historically?

Gromnir Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) up until 2016 we voted based on individual candidate character, competence and goals as 'posed to party affiliation, but we tended towards choosing moderate republicans more often than not. the thing is, in 2023, the republicans has become a party which downplays or even defends the the inhumane treatment o' immigrants, the use o' masked federal agents in unmarked vans to kidnap individuals w/o a warrant or even probable cause, the events o' january 6 and book banning. even if we ignore the corpulent orange elephant in the room, am not seeing how is possible to vote conscience and republican in 2023 albeit with one exception. regardless, even if you are in favour o' fiscal responsibility and small government (which is maybe not current gop values but is definite not major issues for the democrats) am seeing as near impossible to align self with the party banning the kite runner, the handmaid's tale and 1984. am also agreeing raskin is "good at this" kinda thing but admittedly the current gop makes it ez.

I wonder how much it costs the taxpayers whenever protests turn all smash-and-grab? Its a historical reality and problem in France how people protest and how most of these protests turn violent. But over the last 20 years anarchists, anti-establishment groups and radical left ideologues infiltrate these protests and cause much more mayhem in the interest of destabilizing the state. Similar to the Yellow Vest protests in France Like violence you see in BLM protests they dont represent the majority of people protesting but they are a constant reason for violence And they dont care about the damage they cause to the country or the future of France. Its all about " lets destroy what exists and somehow we can rebuild something better " or similar rhetoric and grandstanding And yet some people still deny the radical left exists or they " not really violent " "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
