Yet again SR demonstrates that he is all in favour of subverting democracy so long as those he favours are doing the subverting.
Students of history will have seen this attitude before, eg Germany 1933. Somehow SR thinks that because there are plenty of (highly edited) videos around in the media, then that's good enough for the courts. But that's not how justice works in a functioning democracy. Trump's team have now asked the SCOTUS to rule. We'll see what happens then. Posted by mhaze, Thursday, 4 January 2024 12:35:07 PM

Talking about democracy working in the US?
Well, NBC News tells us that Trump built the Supreme Court's conservative majority - he appointed 3 justices - trying to create a rock solid conservative majority - but it didn't always rule in his favour. And since he's left office the Supreme Court has not been receptive to his claims. Examples given tell us that Trump tried to stop the Congressional Committee from accessing White House documents from his administration the court rebuffed him.

post-truth mhaze,
Lol. Your Trump Derangement Syndrome has you wrapped up in a little cocoon of denial hasn't it. You really are a silly little fellow aren't you. Trump was impeached for inciting an insurrection, but the requisite 2/3rds of the Senate vote required to convict was not achieved. Trump wanted to roll out the Insurrection Act to go after BLM protests. He obviously thought they qualified as insurrection. But you can't accept that the attacks on Jan 6th attempting to subvert the orderly transfer of power constitute a far more accurate use of the term. It is deemed by multiple courts that January 6th was an insurrection, yet you refuse to acknowledge them. You slip into a rant rather than address anything directly put to you. Well I hope it is of some comfort in your declining years. Posted by SteeleRedux, Thursday, 4 January 2024 2:37:39 PM

"It is deemed by multiple courts that January 6th was an insurrection, yet you refuse to acknowledge them."
Washington DC voted 96% Democrat. The courts you refer to were in DC and the jurors were those 96%. Grandmothers with cancer were convicted of insurrection. In a country with more guns per capita than almost anywhere else on the planet, the only gun fired was used to kill an unarmed war veteran who was trying to de-escalate the situation. When you're trying to overthrow the government, you don't meekly walk between the ropes as directed.... http://www.sakafete.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/maxresdefault-233-777x437.jpg Yet in all those trials no one has been able to demonstrate that Trump caused the riot. Despite a massive and massively one-sided congressional inquiry where evidence was selectively withheld, no one has deemed the evidence sufficient to charge Trump with insurrection, let alone prove it. Now, their original plan was to have him jailed because of their fantasies over the insurrection, but the evidence just wasn't there. So they've now just jumped a step and decided to treat him as convicted without a trial. And the fascists of the left are good with that. SR, as he always does, has decided that he'll just believe whatever they tell him to believe. They tell him they looked at all the evidence and that's good enough for him - why would they lie asks the clueless SR? Trump is leading in the polls and the hapless and hopelessly corrupt Biden is headed for a trouncing. What to do? Well, use the courts to defeat the majority. If Trump is allowed to run, I still expect him to lose. Like 2020, he'll receive the majority of votes cast, but not the majority counted. But the ramifications of him winning are disastrous for the kleptocrats that is the Democrat party, so why take the risk? Posted by mhaze, Thursday, 4 January 2024 4:38:39 PM

Go forth - but don't multiply.
