The federal judge assigned to the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump stands out as one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol

    I’m glad she is tough on the Jan 6 rioters. However, I want her to be impartial. If not then this will turn into a campaign tool for Trump. I already know he will use it as a tool anyways. But it will give those Republicans that are on the fence something to falsely claim as a righteous cause to vote for him.

      Judges should be tough on treason. A bold statement, I know.

        That’s not bold or extreme. I want judges to treat him like anyone else that is up for treason.

        I’m saying more of the crazies that will hurt others thinking they are doing “god’s work.”

      I agree with being impartial of course. In terms of making him into a martyr of sorts, imo that ship has sailed. They’re so delusional that they’ll turn any possible outcome into a narrative where they were victims of some grand conspiracy. It’s baffling what he can get away with while still receiving fanatic support.

        Pretty much any result or treatment where Trump isn’t getting metaphorical and/or physical felatio is going to be called out as being biased against him. These people are in a cult, nothing we say or do is going to get them out of it until they have their Waco siege moment, which probably won’t be great for the country.

      What Republicans are still on the fence about this and wtf is wrong with them? Is this really a primary concern here?

        The less radical right. I know that sounds strange but there are some that actually believe in the religions things they say. Due to that they vote Republican. Not the ones that believe in Q or just straight up racist. Not every person on the right is a total POS but the people they vote for are.

      If not then this will turn into a campaign tool for Trump.

      We are well beyond that point right now. He has literally told his cult followers that he is being indicted for them.

        His cult is a smaller part of people that say they are right leaning. The rest that are like Mitt Romney will side with him if the court turns into a mockery on both sides.

      This is a very good stance to take on paper. But do you really think there will be any significant difference in Trump’s campaigning regardless of outcome? The end result is completely meaningless in the grand scheme of the 2024 election, Trump supporters have already shown a dozen times over that there is literally nothing that could change their stance.

      I just want to see him get the same treatment I would in his place… He won’t… But I at least want him to sweat

        I’m talking about those that will stay home bc they believe he did something wrong. I don’t want the opposite of the Miami federal judge. I want judges to be impartial and fair across the board.
