Remember when Republicans were the “law and order” party?

[OddBeMe]

Indicted president leads the right wing polls. It’s like Nixon is running and winning AFTER Watergate.

[Avicenna]

Are you referring to the grifter politicians in Washington, or ordinary Republicans?

At any rate, the fundamental error in logic you're making is pretending that the persecution of Trump is based on actual criminal activity rather than old-fashioned political persecution by totalitarian criminals. The Democrats were screaming that they were going to impeach Trump even prior to him taking office, so these prosecutions are obviously part of the same process that the Democrats have been perpetrating for seven years now without being held to account for their actions.

The criminals who actually should be put on trial are the ones engaged in the malicious prosecution of Trump and the ones in government who violate the country's laws repeatedly.

A crazy idiot with a rap sheet a mile long threatens to kill innocent people on a subway car. A brave ex-serviceman strangles him. He did it to protect the lives of innocent people.

Who will now spend the rest of his life in prison?

Remember back when Democrats actually had balls and brains? Those days are long gone.

People are judged by the company they keep. The simple fact that the vast majority of republicans and by default half of America is supporting a person like Trump is scary. We've all seen the type of person who flys the Trump flag or read their hate filled comments on GAG. I think it's safe to say the next political mass atrocity will come from the states.

[OddBeMe]

Shoulda been mho. But I forgot

[Yabbut]

No one trusts the people running the show anymore. The years of them constantly going after Trump has greatly lessened the chances of him losing support over this. It's old hat at this point.

[OddBeMe]

Funny he hasn’t gained support. We’re talking people who already supported him.

[Yabbut]

That's why I said it has lessened the chances of him losing support. I think he also has a lot of "quiet" support. People that don't openly support him. I could be wrong, though.

[OddBeMe]

Oh for sure. I mean trump wouldn’t ever when the popular vote. But racists can be smoked out like cockroaches.

[OddBeMe]

*win

[Dargil]

They still are, sometimes.

Trump hasn't been convicted of anything, so no law has been broken, yet. Ditto Nixon. He resigned to avoid impeachment because he was complicit with the Watergate Break In. He know congress would convict him. Trump held the course because he knew they wouldn't.

[msc545]

This is like saying a guy who killed 20 people in public hasn't been convicted of anything - because, like Trump, he has not been tried as yet.

What will you say when Trump is convicted? Will you accept the verdict (s) or make excuses?

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

@msc545

I agree. It's like saying that when George Floyd did a home invasion and held a loaded gun to a pregnant woman's body, that he is innocent, so he should be able to commit many more crimes!

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

I just watched a news show where they had a fancy and smart lawyer on. He said that none of the Trump trials will happen. It's all just election interference which is a felony. Of course the felonies won't happen, because the American justice system is as corrupt as a banana Republic.

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

Ooops. The trials WON'T happen.

[Soteris]

Nah, Trump has been convicted several times. For example for sexual assault and defamation against E. Jean Carroll, granted it was a civil case.

[Dargil]

@msc545 No, it's not. We do not KNOW if Trump committed a crime some people SAY he did. He is not a "guy who killed 20 people". There is nothing yet proving any crime was convicted. Do you even know that other guy killed 20 people or do you just think he did? I think this is called Due Process of Law. If trump is convicted of anything, I'll wait for the appellate process to play out. If the appeals process does not release him, Justice will have been done.

[Soteris]

In regards to the defamation and sexual assault case it is already done to my knowledge and Trump had to fork over a few million dollars. There is also a 2nd defamation case against him that he might also lose to E. Jean Carroll.

[exitseven]

It is not Republicans that want to defend the police, Republicans have not opened the southern border and it us not the Republicans that refuse to enforce immigration laws. It is not Republicans that have weaponized the federal law enforcement to falsely charge their adversaries while bltenly ignoring any crime a Democrat has committed.

[Anonymous]

Well, that “law & order” stance really only applied to people protesting racial injustice or brown people crossing the border. They don’t apply it to themselves or their candidates. It was never a principled stand.

[Anonymous]

Because we all know that it’s a politically motivated witch hunt. You shitlibs have cried wolf and maliciously prosecuted and investigated the man so much, no one believes you or takes you seriously any longer. That’s why his poll numbers keep going up and up, and why he’s so popular. Sorry that twists your panties in a bit, you stupid bastard.

[Anonymous]

He already had one term in and they were impressed with his performance. Not to mention the same people who were trying to put him into the ground before he could even do anything on the political stage are still trying to this very day so why trust them at this point?

[Drewtate]

Still are. We've had over a decade of antifa and blm riots

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

And the left loved the riots and insurrections.

[Drewtate]

@ScisorsAndRaisins most tame insurrection in history. I don't remember the 1917 Russian insurrection involving police at red square opening the gates so protestors could have a tour of the building

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

I'm talking about the Antifa insurrections that killed people.

[Drewtate]

@ScisorsAndRaisins agreed. That woman in Charlestown who was attacking a guy driving home, she got caught between another car as he tried to get away

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

Sounds like a happy ending.

[goaded]

They haven't been for decades, but now they don't even pretend.

[Juxtapose]

This should maybe clue you in that people aren't buying the indictments.

[AngryCarl2]

I even remember when both parties supported law and order. Yes, I'm old.

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

Wow, imagine that. Law and order.

[Anonymous]

Not really

I'm still calling both him and Joey being boxed up before the election

[gorydetails]

Sorry no one believes the propaganda any more..

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

His statement would have more meaning if didn't slam his own party in the process. lol

[msc545]

That was before Trump I guess...

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

Care to have a friendly debate about that?

[msc545]

Not really. I'm a little tired of debating with trumpers no offense

[Anonymous]

Yeah, they still are
