He tried to storm the capitol and whatever else I'm too lazy to write up now, and yet here we are. His people are everywhere, covering for him, and nothing is going to happen to him. America is over. If democrats did illegal stuff, then throw them into jail as well, I don't care. You don't have to use them as excuse to allow republicans to be even more corrupt. so, you aren't gonna admit you were talking out your piehole in regards to claims we dismissed the threat trump posed? typical. again, is Gromnir who pointed out time and time again that trump did illegal and s'posed impossible many times during his first term, but people kept pretending as if the next improbable were too unlikely to consider. we warned 'bout the second term precise 'cause the law failed to stop all but the worst o' trump efforts in term one. am still baffled by the the trump derangement syndrome folks, pretending as if trump is normal. even so we got no excuse for lexx clowning. makes stuff up and when confronted with mistakes via multiple posts where Gromnir said opposite o' what you claimed, you deflect. aside, trump were never gonna be tried for inciting the insurrection for reasons we has stated ad nauseum... first amendment stuff. his january 6 case, which looked extreme strong before the immunity ruling and were not dead after the ruling, were not 'bout incitement. the january 6 case were hinging on the scheme to use fraudulent slates of electors to force the individual state legislatures to decide the Presidential election. legal stuff. btw, we have had folks run for President from prison and such were perfect legal. the fact trump were able to become President in spite o' convictions and incitement is not only legal, but it is freaking democratic. The People voted for trump. maybe you didn't listen when we said the first half dozen times or so, but informed y'all that sentencing for felonies and even prison would would not necessarily prevent trump 2.0. somehow you heard opposite? *chuckle* The People voted against Socrates btw; is an education fail that so many forget such, eh. the athenians had a pure democracy, so were no need for a separate court system or a divided legislature as well as an executive. for the athenians, every trial were a popularity contest. and am fine with throwing guilty republicans and democrats in prison, but if you ignore the law, then next thing you know, it is ok to send people to a dystopian prison in el salvador without due process for no other reason than that the current administration says the folks disappeared deserved it. they deserved it or they are bad, is not enough. eventually, somebody in power might decide lexx or Gromnir is bad. we spent a career representing people we disliked who had views we abhorred-- kkk, cultists, gang members, progressives. *shudder* the only speech, religious beliefs and associations which need protection is those which offend the majority. example: mlk never achieved even 50% popularity with the american public during his lifetime, and he were also disappeared (briefly) by the government. most americans once considered the naacp were to be a threat. lexx and Gromnir shouldn't be the ones deciding who deserves the protection o' the law. definite not lexx. as an aside, there is current too many legal issues o' Constitutional import for us to cliff's notes 'em all... and we have been a bit busy. maybe take a stab at Gromsplaining one or two cases before we personal get gulaged. HA! Good Fun!

Azdeus Posted April 16 Posted April 16 @Gromnir Glad to see you! 3 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Yeah, because I've read only like 5% of your post. I can't be arsed to deal with your weird wordings all the time. It reminds me of Ed from Cowboy Bebop and it really annoys me for some reason. Maybe I misremembered some details from years ago, yet I believe my point stands, since you keep defending this crap with insisting on the law, which is kinda funny to me, because your politicians don't seem to be bothered with it at all.
