Popular Post Lacessit Posted August 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2023 If Trump were innocent, he and his lawyers would want the four indictments dealt with as soon as possible. His desperate delay strategy relies on getting re-elected so he can pardon himself. Or institute authoritarian rule. The Trumpers' claim the justice system is weaponized is total BS. Trump was indicted by grand juries composed of a cross-section of ordinary citizens. The grand jury system is designed to indict only when there is strong evidence of a felony. It's not as if Trump does not know his way around a courtroom, prior to becoming President he was involved in over 4000 legal actions. Pretending he is a victim won't fly. The judge is indicating the trial happens in the courtroom, not on social media. Trump's political campaign is secondary, as it should be. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this saga is the willingness of supporters and craven politicians to countenance the election of a convicted felon to the office of President. Moral vacuity is inadequate as a description of their conduct. 6 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That needs to be thoroughly investigated and if necessary prosecuted. That is going to be difficult in America's poisonous and polarised racial environment, but it needs to be done. It has nothing, nothing, to do with the racially inspired comments on this judge, and on the Georgia District Attorney. Trump is making/engineering them because he knows that such filthy behaviour will appeal to his base. Suggestions that a photograph reveal the judge to be "evil scum" are pretty much par for the course with this bigoted small minded and ignorant camp. Now I said that America has a poisonous and polarised racial environment. That arises from a deep seated and significant white supremacist faction which is both numerous and politically powerful in American society, a society which whilst preaching freedom and equality for all peoples has, since the formation of the Republic, initially basically exterminated it's indigenous peoples, and then set about it's black community. Freed from slavery yes, but then subjected to political, social, economic, educational, religious and penal segregation for the subsequent 150 years. Goodness me, arguably more oppressive than anything to come out of southern Africa. That last paragraph are my personal opinions, there again no more ridiculous (much less in fact) than deducing and declaring the essentials of this judges character and her fitness to preside from a photograph! I suspect that the sexist and racist rubbishing of Trump's prosecutors and judges bear out my opinions; just wait until we get to jury selection!

And the ridiculous to delay the trial for 3 years is of a piece with that. Frivolous! Justice must be seen to be the guiding light and consider the fact that in the course of discovery, were the Trump team of lawyers able to process 1000 pages a day, the entire document of the indictment would take in excess of 10 years to be completed 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has been very clear about that, that he will appoint his sycophants everywhere possible and use the DoJ for ‘payback’ to everyone who has ever so much as looked funny at him.

It is being considered, you can bet on it! There is no doubt the US is losing it's influence daily, and the remaining influence largely is due to the size of the economy (China remains a distant second), and the military (China may have a technically larger navy, but it lacks long range vessels and deep sea ports). However, it does scare me to think of which nation may take it's place, when the time comes. It definitely will not be Russia (they are relatively insignificant economically), and I sure hope it will not be China, as they are not exactly a beacon of morality, and have been substantially more of a bully on the world stage, and do not wear their power lightly. Also, in my opinion, the government there is significantly more morally bankrupt than the US. And that is saying alot. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tropposurfer Posted August 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2023 Don't ya just love the screamers about injustice. The US and almost all States have on their books and have for centuries ... speedy trial statutes. This is no surprise at all. The faux outrage is because: Trump is on trial in a State legislature, not a Federal one that he cannot (by anyone) be pardoned for. The GOP MAGA party refuses to acknowledge that Trump is on trial in Georgia because a jury of 12 random citizens there saw the evidences presented by the prosecution and could see clear enough that there was a case to answer to and so Trump was indicted. The GOP MAGA party/cult is hoping, by delaying as much as they can, for some divine (evil dark actually) miracle come election day that they will sweep all sanity and truth before them and can if this black-miracle happens simply disobey and nullify through whatever means they deem necessary the prosecution and any convictions that may have been handed down against Trump and any of the MAGA crowd. When we see the evidences in open court which will be the case in Georgia, because cameras are allowed and commonly used for the public to see trials, what Fani Willis has reported as being the core of the indictments it will be clear for all (the entire world) to see what the truth is. Not that any of this will matter to those who have handed over their lives, wills, souls, and sanity to a madman and the evil, extreme alt-rightist, neo-Nazi, Klan, despotism that is now the GOP and MAGA. The history of this pernicious white-supremacist evil has always existed in the USA. The body-politic of fascism in American history and in the political zeitgeist of todays America is plain and real to see. If you cannot see this then you are sick, yes sick. If anyone denies the turgidity of the US neo-Nazism in todays American society, its poster-boy Trump, and the deliberate calculated ingress and infection of the body politic and culture of America today and is crying-out that the Justice Department is persecuting good hearted 'patriotic Americans' then they themselves harbour racist, white -supremacy in themselves. Yes I'm talking directly to you ???? 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a Conservative establishment who see Trump as a convenient even if boorish vessel and has been engineering plans to overhaul the "Deep State" Government since Reagan. And Trump would have likely implemented Schedule F overhaul of the federal labor force if he had time. AUGUST 2, 2022 In recent weeks, former White House aides from the Trump administration unveiled plans to immediately reinstitute Schedule F the next time a Republican is president. Schedule F was an ill-fated plan to find and reclassify the positions of tens of thousands of career federal workers in “policy-related” roles outside of the competitive service, stripping them of their civil service protections and making it much easier to hire and fire them. Trump, who is mulling another campaign for president, seemingly endorsed the plan in a speech last week. https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2022/08/senate-dems-join-push-block-schedule-f/375221/ Which is Partly why I say I am much more anxious NOT to see Trump again as President than I am the outcome of any of these criminal trials.
