Quote from: Herman on May 31, 2024, 11:30:28 PMOh I know the democRATs believe they are entitled to the keys to the white house. And in 2024 they will do anything to get those keys. But, this crosses a line.

Expect some countries to consider Biden an illegitimate president if he wins this way. I know Russia and China will put a question mark beside his presidency.

Many MEP's in Brussels walked out in disgust when Truedau spoke to the European parliament. I would expect a similar reaction to a second term Biden presidency if his opponent is jailed.

UC Berkeley law professor John Yoo made clear this week that President Donald Trump's conviction before a Democratic judge in a Democratic enclave on charges brought by a Democratic prosecutor effectively obliterates any remaining pretense that the justice system is a means for resolution and restitution. The courtroom is now instead apparently a vehicle for seeking retribution and political advantage.

With this transformation, Yoo says its high time for "retaliation in kind" by Republican district attorneys.

Ahead of President Donald Trump's conviction, Yoo noted in National Review that it was abundantly clear the hush-money case was built around "farcical charges" and aimed not at delivering justice but at protecting a decrepit Democratic president from facing his top competitor in November.

"The superficiality of the facts and the vagueness of the crimes magnify the harm that Democrats have inflicted on our political norms," wrote the former deputy assistant attorney general. "Make no mistake, Democrats have crossed a constitutional Rubicon."

Yoo issued a note of caution: The "weakness of the case against Trump lowers the bar for prosecuting future presidents below that for prosecuting garden-variety criminals in New York City."

To remedy "this breach of constitutional norms," Yoo indicated that Republicans' only recourse is to observe the Golden rule: "Do unto others as they have done unto you. In order to prevent the case against Trump from assuming a permanent place in the American political system, Republicans will have to bring charges against Democratic officers, even presidents."

For instance, a Republican district attorney will have to do the work the Biden Department of Justice appears unwilling or at the very least incapable of doing: Hold Hunter Biden to account for one of his various alleged crimes.

"Another Republican DA will have to investigate Joe Biden for influence-peddling at the behest of a son who received payoffs from abroad," continued Yoo. "Only retaliation in kind can produce the deterrence necessary to enforce a political version of mutual assured destruction; without the threat of prosecution of their own leaders, Democrats will continue to charge future Republican presidents without restraint."

"We must rely on Republicans to threaten an escalation of banana-republic politics in order to prevent actually becoming a banana republic," concluded Yoo.

Two can play this dangerous game the Dems started. If Americans don't want this banana republic style persecution to be the new normal, Republican DA's will have to fight fire with fire. And there is a lot to go after the Biden crime family on. Clintons too.

Masks Found to Be Ineffective After First Omicron Wave: New Study

By the second Omicron wave, wearing masks was shown to offer no protection for adults and potentially increased the risk of infection in children.

In a study published in PLOS ONE, researchers found that several risk factors for infection, including wearing a mask, changed significantly in December 2021 when Omicron became the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant.

To help explain why some interventions were associated with a decreased risk of infection early in the pandemic but were less protective or associated with an increased risk later on, the researchers examined survey data from the UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) from 200,000 people who were tested for COVID-19 every two weeks.

Quote from: Herman on May 31, 2024, 10:35:10 PMGone are the days when political bias was checked at the courthouse door. The rule of law has been drained of any meaning. As we've seen with the Derek Chauvin trial, the federal prosecutions of January 6 and abortion protesters, and now Donald Trump in Manhattan, a defendant cannot get a fair trial or impartial jury in a blue jurisdiction if he finds himself on the "wrong" side of the political divide. He is guilty by virtue of who he is.

Blue states and the federal administration have weaponized the justice system. This is not something I ever thought I would see in the US.

And making $$$$$

Quote from: Blazor on May 31, 2024, 12:10:22 PMYou're wrong about "nobody controls what you watch", and yet right. Cause I indeed choose not to watch that bullshit, and yet the ones in control, are indeed controlling what the masses watch.

Curious what you are referring too with venturing outside my comfort zone, do you mean stuff made in other countries or something?

No, I am not wrong. As other people have said, the US is not the only country making shows and movies. Expand your horizons.

Quote from: The Right Side Of History on Today at 03:11:11 AM...after the prosecution's own star witness testified that Donald Trump did not do any such thing, that it was the aforementioned "star witness" who in fact "disguised" the money, yes I heard.

Donald Trump did accuse them of running a witch hunt on him. Now the proof is in and he is set for yet another bump in approval ratings. Are you starting to understand why I saw him as a surer bet than Vivek or DeSantis yet? 

I didn't follow all the details of the case, but I do remember that pertinent detail.

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters was blasted on social media after telling former President Trump to "shut your mouth" after he was convicted in criminal court on Thursday.

Source: 'Corrupt criminal': Maxine Waters receives backlash over vitriolic response to Trump's guilty verdict

Maxine Waters believes the DOJ exists for the sole purpose of persecuting people who don't like her totalitarian ideas.

Minutes after the jury returned a guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York, an influx of donations to his presidential campaign as an apparent show of support caused his donation page to temporarily become unavailable.

Quote from: Shen Li on May 30, 2024, 10:45:32 PMI read an op-ed in the Singapore Straits Times about this.

The actions against Russia were one of the most blatant examples of the US weaponizing the dollar I have ever seen taken by an American administration in a long time.

Quote from: caskur on May 31, 2024, 12:11:23 AMJoe, the left are no longer the left of the old days where their main concern was for working men's rights. They have gone completely nuts and they are using us because it's about power now.

I not saying the right is better either... we have two extremists and both extremes are causing a great divide. We have to recognize it and we have to be clever about it..  I see Trump as being closer to middle ground because he isn't one of them power hungry politicians but a man who wants to work everything out... I could be wrong but I don't get that feeling.

I feel he did more right things than wrong things... what do you think?

First of all, Joe is an attention starved troll. He knows left and right no longer exist in North America.

The people who are voting for Trump would have voted Democrat in the eighties. The Democrats are the party of billionaires and woke corporations.   

Quote from: caskur on May 31, 2024, 02:53:18 AMOn youtube a 1.5 hour speech of him talking to Minnesota people he outlined what he is going to do...

Apparently Biden undone a lot of things he made law. He is going to ban children being given hormone treatment for starters.

Let me find it...hang on. Watch in your own time and it is worthwhile.

It's pretty good. I like the casual way he delivers.

Caskur, this is how Biden should be trying to win the election. Have an electable platform that you can confidently convey to voters. Biden doesn't have a winning platform so he is trying to win by misusing the FBI and DOJ to persecute his main opponent.

It is dangerous to prosecute your political opponents.

Quote from: Dove on May 31, 2024, 02:14:08 AMWell if you know what "dismantling democracy" actually means when they say it....it makes sense.

 They are panicking because Trump can start investigations into all the criminal and horrible shit that has been done. The Bidens...Fauci...Clinton's.

 Imagine the covid investigations.

Dove, there is no need to respond to Joe. If you do, don't be serious because he isn't.

He has derailed political threads at least least one hundred times with the same lame post you responded to.

He craves attention, but in my opinion, he does not deserve any.
