Roo Island Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 https://apnews.com/article/russia-trump-putin-us-election-2828902db670e00af3b1ac871938b96e Trump's attacks on US justice system after guilty verdict could be useful to autocrats like Putin After his historic guilty verdict in his hush money case, Donald Trump attacked the U.S. criminal justice system, making unfounded claims of a “rigged” trial that echoed remarks from the Kremlin. “If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” Trump said Friday, speaking from his namesake tower in New York on Friday. Thousands of miles away, Russian President Vladimir Putin was probably “rubbing his hands with glee,” said Fiona Hill, a former senior White House national security adviser to three U.S. presidents, including Trump. Hill and other analysts say Trump’s attacks could be useful to Putin and other autocrats as they look to boost their standing among their own citizens, potentially sway the upcoming U.S. presidential election in which Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the United States’ global influence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the question is posed to Chinese citizens to differentiate between the US and China-the answer is almost always nearly the same- a robotic cookie cutter assimilated response “China is a communist country. America is a capitalist country.” It’s been drilled into their mind frame that the US wants to invade China and go to war, the propaganda there is so insidious, the mindset is nearly organic. You really need to get out more and civilly converse with others that are completely different than yourself, then perhaps a better understanding of the world will come to light. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnydrops Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Sorry to interrupt this little spat. But I found this of interest. It is from an opinion piece in the NYT suggesting Hunter Biden should take a plea deal in his upcoming case, but it would also pertain to DJT if he ever goes to court. "To bring federal charges, the Department of Justice manual advises that a prosecutor should believe that the defendant is guilty, that the prosecutor believes he has evidence that will prove the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and that the prosecutor believes that a reasonable jury would convict the defendant. In practice, this means that once the Department of Justice has indicted you, they believe they will win. And they almost always do. Over a 12-month period ending last fall, just 290 of the nearly 72,000 federal criminal defendants charged by the Justice Department were acquitted at trial. That’s less than one half of 1 percent. (Of course, only 1,379 were convicted at trial — a paltry 2 percent.) The vast majority facing a D.O.J. indictment decided either to plead guilty outright or accept a plea deal, believing that the prosecutor had correctly weighed their chances of winning in front of a jury before bringing the case in the first place." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
