Given most of the faux cases against him were obviously political attempts to eliminate him from the candidacy, I think it's entirely fair that he is now immune from any possibility of prison till at least 2029. By then the faux cases will have been quietly dropped.

I fully support him if he wants to investigate the use of the FBI and the justice ( LOL ) department to target him, and I hope some of them do get prison time.

You have no faith in your Justice system?

LOL. We are not all Republicans, but we have been taking <deleted> from your side for 4 years, so it's payback if we are "disrespecting" the Dems, and they really deserve to be disrespected.

 

Gloating, yes indeed, I've been waiting for 4 years to gloat over the demise of the Dems.

My side? I said I’m on the other side of the world and happy to be as far away from the cesspool called USA. Nowhere did I say I was from the left or right. Was just pointing out how simple Americans are and you’re keeping with the tradition. Good luck in your sad country that nobody really cares about anymore other than for entertainment purposes.

What do her opponents say? I know very little of Harris, I would have preferred anybody but Trump, apart from his failings as a decent human being I was concerned about his remarks regarding Nato, Ukraine, the Paris agreement, his disregard of global warming, his nearness to dictators and his apparent willingness to use the military against the civil population. His anti-wokeness I regard as a plus point. We shall have to wait and see what really transpires during his term as president

regarding Nato, Ukraine, the Paris agreement, his disregard of global warming,

I agreed with him on all of those.

 

his apparent willingness to use the military against the civil population.

I don't think he can. It would be illegal for the military to do so, as has been pointed out by Austin. It's just Trump speaking without engaging brain.

As would I, but given his opponent I had to support him. I am on record on this forum as saying such before.

I only started really wanting him to win as the invective increased. Most of the haters have been noticeably absent since he won.

I understand, may be wrong, that he is actually a New Zealander!

It's not my justice system, but the US one seems excessively racist, politicised and corrupt. That has been my opinion for long before Trump even mentioned becoming POTUS.

A disproportionate incarceration rate of non whites has long been a black mark against it.

Yes America is still somewhat racist but it's more probable that a considerable portion of African Americans are more likely to be involved in crimes, having said that I have read that black people are more likely to get a prison sentence than white people possibly because white Americans can afford to pay for a lawyer as opposed to having one assigned by the court. I disagree that Western courts allow themselves to be politically motivated.

IMO the problem with American justice system is that some in it are voted for. Whenever voting is involved it opens the door to corruption, IMO.

Yes, I find it wrong that judges can be political appointees ie the supreme court, they should be neutral or at least their political affiliation should be unknown, I've never heard of politics playing a role in British judges.
