RE: New charges brought against Trump. Four counts.
Quote:If Jack Smith's revenge indictment is successful and Trump is convicted, it will set a new standard for America: From now on, no presidential candidate that the Washington establishment dislikes will be allowed to publicly challenge or even question the results of an election.
Obviously, it's not a ban on ALL election disputes. We won't indict people who said Al Gore won in 2000. We won't indict Hillary Clinton, who blamed "Russian disinfo" for her shocking electoral defeat. If you're a liberal and claim the election was stolen by Russian bogeymen, that's fine! If you suppress damning stories about a laptop belonging to a candidate's son by calling it fake even when you know it's real, that's fine too! Just as long as you also agree with Washington.
For anyone else, you have to forfeit your First Amendment right if you run for president. And if the results of your race look a lot like fraud, well, too bad. If you say anything, have fun going to prison.
RE: New charges brought against Trump. Four counts.
So Jack Smith has to prove that election fraud didn’t occur since he said they are false although he said Trump has every right to be wrong or make false claims about it. This is a mess that’ll make your head spin
RE: New charges brought against Trump. Four counts.
I'm not a huge fan of Trump these days but this indictment is pure politically motivated bull. Absolutely no way to prosecute on those charges given its all speculation and he said/she said. It's absolute malpractice.

Special Counsel Jack Smith just issued the first criminal indictment of alleged disinformation in my view. If you take a red pen to all of the material presumptively protected by the First Amendment, you can reduce much of the indictment to haiku...

...I felt that the Mar-a-Lago indictment was strong. This is the inverse. This is closer to the case against former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell where Smith was overturned by an unanimous Supreme Court...

...The press conference held by Smith only deepened the unease for some of us. Smith railed against the January 6th riot and made it sound like he was indicting Trump on incitement. He didn't. The disconnect was glaring and concerning.

You wonder why? Why not a couple of years ago? Some are glad to see our country go to chit. You seem to be one of them.

Agree.
I told a segment of the posters here that the reason we could not nominate Trump was because the whole damned election would be a repeat of the endless charges of 2020. Partisan judges allow the witch hunt to go on where Trump is concerned. SCOTUS does nothing to put an end to it, and we will never have a moment for the whole election cycle that is about the damned issues arising from the crappiest president in U.S. History.
We can't give these Corporatists bastards who are bleeding us dry through the debt to continue to have so convenient a whipping boy. We need to make them answer for the damn criminal regime the Corporate press refuses to acknowledge.
If the election is about trying Trump we've lost already!
That said Trump is tenacious. Unless they have him down and out for 10 counts they'll never win the trials. Why? He's not guilty. Does that matter? It hasn't mattered for four damn years now! But that doesn't stop the shite show!

But this is not about Trump. Hear me out…..this is about THEM the corrupt DC/Corporatists/Intelligence swamp bastards. If they succeed in removing Trump wherever along the path what’s going to stop THEM from removing someone else? It may not be in the same fashion but it’ll be something or event that’ll crush that person

If they go to the well with this same stunt on the next guy the people will revolt. They know that. Yes, they have their minions over the law agencies and in the DC bureaucracy, but those people cannot stand against over half the nation. We can't remove their sorry asses unless we win. We won't win with a candidate they Kangaroo court for the whole election cycle and the people's anger over Trump has dissipated since 2020. We need them out PDQ and that's the only way this crap stops, and we get back to halfway normal. Cart before the horse is the insistence it be Trump. Beat them any way we can and then run them and their damn whacko judges before courts to clean it up. Fire with fire is the only way to Dis entrench them!
Lose this damn election out of stubborn support for a polarizing figure and we may not take it back. Conservative Boomers are dying out now and being replaced by the brainless twats graduating public high schools. It's now or never!

This is what a solid, on-point discussion looks like. I happen to side with JRsec, but that’s beside the point. BTM also makes a compelling point and states it well. +3 both.
And this is the exact question that the media and the left do not want framed for the American public at large. Because it paints in stark, undeniable terms what is at stake here. What the left and it’s media flunkies want instead is a repeat of Jan. 6 - - an completely justified discontent that they can mis-portray as a dangerously wrongheaded movement.
BTM opening sentence is exactly right. This is not about Donald Trump. At least its not so long as we as a nation are capable of saying more than “Reeeeeeee” and running off in exactly the mob-like fashion that the left are praying that we will.
