Half convicted already, one said death penalty

This is a private forum where a few expats talk trash, it's not a court of law. Get a grip.

And, yeah, I would definitively like to see him tried and convicted for treason. Couldn't happen to a worse guy and might prevent future wannabe dictators form trying something similar.

[Lacessit]

I can see where this is possibly heading, next Trump will be urging his supporters to obstruct the FBI. Of course, when his mouth-breathers and fruitcakes get charged for so doing, he will be nowhere in the vicinity.

Now that's how you politicize the Justice system!

That's just one trait of the far right.  They try to project their own crimes onto the "lefties" (which they consider even moderate right wingers to be).  Listening to their accusations is akin to listening to their confessions.

What is your criteria for being a radical leftist?  Other than not supporting Trump?

Anything to the left of Gengis Khan.

ROFL when Americans use the term, socialism is the ultimate evil. Plenty of democratic countries in the world are quite comfortable, and survive.

House GOP rallies to Trump after Mar-a-Lago search, vows to probe FBI in 2023

The House GOP leaped Monday night to denounce the FBI search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy vowing to investigate the Justice Department should Republicans take back the chamber this fall as expected.

“I’ve seen enough,” McCarthy tweeted hours after Trump confirmed that his Florida resort was searched by federal officials. Using the same term the former president did in his own statement on the raid — “weaponization” — to describe DOJ’s actions, the California Republican and frontrunner for speaker next year told Attorney General Merrick Garland to “preserve your documents and clear your calendar.”

I saw that he was accused of a lot of things by the radical left. I thought the US still had due process, innocent until proven guilty? Or have the far left removed this along with freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought etc?

 

I agree people should go to jail irrespective of their politics. Which makes the Hunter Biden debacle even more puzzling.

Pathetic. "Non-American neutral observer" but you quote "radical left" and "far left" ☺️

So tell us who is on the radical right and far right, Mr Neutral? Demonstrate your neutrality.

Innocent until proven

 

Basic principle many seem to have forgotten

 

Forgotten by whom? Is he is prison or somehow had his liberty removed? So he is free at least until the case is proven. Who do you claim has forgotten that?

Would you care to elucidate on the "over 3000 court cases he has had."? And the outcomes?

Hair? Don't like it but then again I'm quite conservative when it comes to my taste in hair styles. My intense dislike of trumps stems more from his spectacular ineptidude as a leader, his moral and ethical bankruptcy, his constant lying and insincerity, his bully boy persona resulting in a willingness to trod on anyone and everyone (including war heroes and people with disabilities), his misogyny, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,, etc.

But most of all it is the fact that he is a filthy traitor who couldn't handle losing the election and actually tried instigating a coup.

For the one with the ultimate responsibility only the ultimate punishment fits the crime.

I agree about the hair!

I'm sure Merrick Garland has kept this possibility, or certainty, in mind through-out and has ensured that everything has been done in accordance with the law. 

 

Of course this won't keep the Republicans from making a lot of noise about it, and from claiming that any investigation results they don't like are somehow corrupt.

Yes it's a worry. Imagine living 300 years ago. Burnt at stake.

You know what terrifies me? It terrifies me that there are enough "independent thinkers" (being extremely polite here) out there so that there can even be talk of a rerun for the worst president ever, a person so spectacularly unfit to lead that even if he led a gaggle of geese across the road you'd expect a disaster to happen.

Current one worst ever by a mile.

Or at least that's what they label you, and then they proceed to argue against your (completely imagined) Trump loving, gun toting, white supremacist views.

 

It's standard procedure on here. This thread is an excellent example. They don't understand the concept of Neutrality. It blows their mind.

Wanting a judicial process to go ahead seems eminently fair to me. The truth will come out, one way or the other. It seems like some Trump sycophants don't like sunshine.

It's unlikely for the FBI to get a warrant to spy on a Presidential campaign(Trump's). We all know how that turned out. The FBI's credibility over everything Trump is in the toilet. 

 Not expecting anything different this time. The left are terrified of Trump running in 2024 and are now acting in sheer desperation. I saw the photos of supposed "wads" of classified documents flushed down his toilet. It is beyond farcical, like all the other conspiracy theories they use against Trump. If they are trying to provoke a civil war, they are doing a great job.

The dems trying to provoke a civil war? Risible. Trump wasn't trying to provoke a civil war now? I think it's crystal clear now that he did. Everything else is just denial.

 

Maybe the White House just ran out of toilet paper? Trump had an adverse reaction from one too many Big macs?

Calling for the death penalty while they are still searching his house would probably qualify.

Just waiting for a really big Trump insider to do a plea bargain and then watch the cards fall!

[OneMoreFarang]

With all the comments here about Hunter Biden I have a good idea.

Put Trump and Biden together in a small cell and let them enjoy each other.

And maybe install a couple of big brother cameras.

Win/win/win for everybody. ????
