Donald Trump is blasting special counsel Jack Smith and vowing to continue talking about his criminal cases even as prosecutors seek a protective order to limit the evidence that Trump and his team can share.
Yea, because locking a guy up who is blatantly threatening witnesses and prosecutors in criminal cases against him- despite numerous warnings not to- is so tyrannical.
If trump wasn’t a rich white ex president, he would have been arrested the night of, held until trial in prison and convicted with in a few months.
The real tyranny here is the dual justice systems in which this idiot walks free despite trying to overturn the government and walking out with some of the nations secrets is treated like kid gloves with nothing happening for over 2 and a half years.
He would have been arrested the night of, held until trial in prison and convicted with in a few months.
The really irritating part is this isn’t even conjecture. Over a 1000 convictions have already been secured in connection to January 6th, many of those people were held pending trial, and for fucks sake some of them are already out of prison before Trump has even had his day in court.
Anybody who can’t see the hypocrisy in that, and identify how that implicitly constitutes a two tiered justice system is either brainwashed or so full of shit their eyes are brown. Facts matter, accountability matters, democracy is not a given, and it is about god damn time we start taking each of those things seriously.
Teixeira’s lawyers are arguing (or were, maybe it was unsuccessful, I haven’t kept up) that he did the same thing Trump did essentially and, therefore, should be free on his own recognizance. It’s kind of hard to disagree there. Either both deserve to be locked up or both deserve to be let free. It’s inconsistent and we all know why.
He’s still detained until trial. But I agree, somebody with Trumps possible knowledge on classified shit and blatant criminality… shouldn’t be allowed to go play golf with the myriad of foreign nationals he’s quite chummy with.
more broadly, I think cash bail needs to go away. either the person is a legitimate flight risk, or they have a high likelihood of committing more crimes… or not. the vast majority of locked up but not convicted people fall into the “or not” category
Sorry for the euphemism. I actually thought about that before I posted it, but I didn’t have a better one to throw out there so I rolled with it 🙃
As far as the Discord leaker is concerned I think I’m pretty confident that he would have been sentenced to life in prison or potentially even executed if he leaked nuclear secrets on a public forum. That wouldn’t be without precedent, and they fucked with Bradley/Chelsea Manning for a looooong time for far less so I’m comfortable making that inference from modern examples.
Whether that is the correct/ethical thing to do is a different matter, but it goes without saying that the punishment would be severe.
That’s what gets me. It’s not like he was smart about it. It’s not like he tried to hide it. No, he does stuff in broad fucking daylight, openly admits it, and still gets off scot free! Not only that, but his cult of nutjob dumbasses worships him for it, all while acting like it’s tHe OtHeR SiDe commiting treason.
and that’s exactly why I flaggd it as coming from chat GPT. combing through the literally thousands of jurisdictions in the US to find the most felonious guy is… not something I have time for and a quick search turned up nothing about the actual subject. feel free to drop a more reliable source, though.
So we take the “Lock Him Up” approach and if anyone has a problem with that, we lock them up too.
it’s only tyranny if you disagree with the majority…

As somebody with brown eyes….I just want to point out that their shit would be red. from all the koolaide they drink.
Just saying.
But seriously, though. Teixeira (discord leaker) was discovered, identified and arrested within days.
Like you don’t want to know what would have happened to him if he had nuclear secrets of the severity trump had.

I think it’s safe to say we have many, many examples of “normal” people to justify burrying trump under gitmo.

Interestingly… I looked it up on chat gpt.
As of ‘21, the person with the most felonies appears to be richard Ramirez at 43 (murder, attempted murder, sexual assault and burglary)
another guy initially pointed to- Richard McCoy - had 16 in DB cooper like hijackings.
Granted it’s chatgpt… but trump truly is “uprecedendted” (In his scope of criminality.)
I strongly suggest you don’t treat a language learning model as a search engine or any kind of artificial intelligence. It is not.
and that’s exactly why I flaggd it as coming from chat GPT. combing through the literally thousands of jurisdictions in the US to find the most felonious guy is… not something I have time for and a quick search turned up nothing about the actual subject. feel free to drop a more reliable source, though.
Bing Chat does a proper search at least before it starts making claims. I use it a lot.
CHPT is a language model, not a search engine
golf clap
Nice. I didn’t know that.
Search engines came up with “percentage of us population incarcersted” and “number of us felons”,
So, me, not wanting to do a doctoral thesis level of research used a tool get an answer. If you happen to have a better answer…. By all means…
But just uselessy pointing out a fact i already knew… (and the reason I flagged it as being the source…) …
Tf are you searching? These are all SERPS from different searches.
You’re all over the place bud
I blocked your chud ass already. Why am I seeing this shit?
i. am. unstoppable.
