• Threat to Democracy

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Wed Aug 7 17:17:54 2024
    The GOP held a primary before DEMOCRATICALLY nominating Donald Trump for presidential nominee.

    The DNC DIDN'T hold a primary before DICTATORIALLY nominating Kamala Harris for presidential nominee.

    The DNC also DIDN'T hold a primary before DICTATORIALLY nominating Tim Walz for vice-presidential nominee.

    Now it's come to everyone's attention that Tim Walz has stolen valor by lying about his participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

    Does it bother any leftists that they don't get to choose their presidential candidate nor their vice-presidential candidate? Or is 1 Democrat as "good" as the next?

    SQUAWK! POLLY WANT A CRACKER!

    I see you're repeating the couchlover's lies

    The GOP held a primary before DEMOCRATICALLY nominating Donald Trump for presidential nominee.

    The DNC DIDN'T hold a primary before DICTATORIALLY nominating Kamala Harris for presidential nominee.

    The electors voted. This is a representative republic, not a democracy (as conservatives keep Reminding everyone). If you had ever cracked a history book you'd know the current primary system for presidential candidates is a recent thing.

    The DNC also DIDN'T hold a primary before DICTATORIALLY nominating Tim Walz for vice-presidential nominee.

    I bet the RNC wishes they could have done the same before nominating Vladimir Futon for Trump's couch^H^H^H^H^Hrunning mate


    Now it's come to everyone's attention that Tim Walz has stolen valor by lying about his participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

    Do you love couches as much as JD Vance? Because that claim is as accurate as the one about Vance.

    That said, you've lost all right to claim you support our veterans by parroting this.

    Does it bother any leftists that they don't get to choose their presidential candidate nor their vice-presidential candidate? Or is 1 Democrat as "good" as the next?

    If it does, they're free to vote as they see fit. There are other candidates running for president.

    (as conservatives keep Reminding everyone). If you had ever cracked a history book you'd know the current primary system for presidential candidates is a recent thing.

    Trump won the popular vote in the primary by a landslide with 12 million more votes than the runner-up (Hailey.) We sent a message to the delegates, and they listened.

    In contrast, the DNC didn't give a flying one about who you wanted for nominee, and they didn't even bother to ask you.

    I bet the RNC wishes they could have done the same before nominating Vladimir Futon for Trump's couch^H^H^H^H^Hrunning mate

    I'm satisfied with Trump's VP pick. That's another funny thing about Democrats; the nominee doesn't even pick his own running mate; the world's elite decides for them, then after they get elected, the world's elite decides everything else for them too.

    Now it's come to everyone's attention that Tim Walz has stolen valor lying about his participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

    Do you love couches as much as JD Vance? Because that claim is as

    Neither of us can prove it one way or the other, but a Democrat hiding from his responsibilities sounds like a familiar story.

    That would probably be a big deal if I were running for office.

    Democracy happen on election day.

    Yea, but it also happens before election day in various races throughout the year. We have primary races and special elections. Democrats let registered Democrat voters participate in presidential primary races most of the time, but not this time, because the world's elite wanted Tim Walz and only Tim Walz, so therefore we're going with Tim Walz.

    Tim Walz, stolen valor? ;)

    Trying to make something stick?

    A member of his battalion said that Tim Walz abandoned his unit immediately before they deployed to Iraq. Are you saying that our veterans are liars?

    How Trump's bone spurs these days?

    That's a whole different topic. Trump wasn't in the military. But Trump took a bullet for our country, while Tim Walz was too scared to risk taking a bullet for our country, so he abandoned us. Leftists think that's cool I guess.

    I find it difficult to believe that leadstories.com called the Minnesota national guard and that the Minnesota national guard released details about personnel files.

    It's all hearsay. When 2 combat veterans don't tell us what we want to hear, we just go to leadstories.com to get the answers we seek.

    Just like your story the the democrats tried to kill DJT.

    If the police were investigating an attempted murder, they would ask "Is there somebody who doesn't like this person?"

    Indeed many "don't like" DJT.

    They impeached him twice.

    Rightfully so. If the GOP was the law and order party they claim to be we could have avoided all that has happened since then.

    They turned every news channel in the entire world against him.

    Many are against DJT but nobody "turned the world against him".

    They bribed court judges to find him guilty of ridiculous crimes.

    What!?

    Where do you get these ridiculous ideas from?

    DJT was found guily by a jury, remember?

    They invented a new crime just to find him guilty of it.

    DJT didn't come up with any new crimes.

    They spied on his campaign while he was running against Hillary.

    No, that didn't happen.

    They said things about him that weren't true.

    It's all true! :)

    They blamed him for Covid-19.

    He was blamed for his lousy response to the pandemic.

    They devoted nearly every TV show to bashing him.

    Nearly every TV show is about something other than DJT.
    They said that he said things that he definitely didn't say.

    He said so many things.

    They paid athletes to kneel for the national anthem in protest of him being president.

    What more ridiculous sayings/writings.

    They blamed him for George Floyd's death.

    No one blamed DJT. George Floyd was killed by a cop, like so many other black people. Is that still happening today?

    There's a 0.001% chance that they didn't have something to do with the assassination attempt.

    There is a 100% chance that is ridiculous.

    and submitted his retirement paperwork before his unit received
    orders (or warning) to deploy - and then he continued his service

    Trump was chickenshit to serve (in any capacity) during the

    duty to country.

    Duty. Honor. Country.

    One has it. The other does not.

    That's a whole different topic. Trump wasn't in the military. But Trump took

    Once again, you did not address the "the nominee doesn't even pick his/her own running mate" statement.

    My argument was that they didn't let the voters choose a presidential nominee, and since Kamala was chosen for you, you're also getting stuck with Kamala's choice for a running mate. But none of this bothers you, because one Democrat is as good as the next.

    That said, it appears that democrats are quit comfortable with Harris
    as their nominee. Polls are starting to show that your tiny-handed god-emporer is in real trouble with Harris as his opponent over Biden.

    Anyone who is happy with Biden's administration will be pleased to have Kamala "running things."

    No, you totally conflated it. "the continued that service.."

    you're purposely trying to be obtuse. stop it. I explained what I
    meant. This is the problem with you MAGAts, you quote-mine. Find something, and take it entirely out of context, and twist it to serve
    your own narrative.

    I quoted you. "he was in the national guard, then he continued that service.."

    On 08 Aug 2024, Alan Ianson said the following...

    Just like your story the the democrats tried to kill DJT.

    If the police were investigating an attempted murder, they would ask "Is there somebody who doesn't like this person?"

    Indeed many "don't like" DJT.

    They impeached him twice.

    Rightfully so. If the GOP was the law and order party they claim to be
    we could have avoided all that has happened since then.
    History would disagree with you, due to DJT being acquitted - each time to counter those seething feelings of hatred executed by Democrats on their high horse - in the end those stubborn facts burned through.
    It was then the American people realized it wasn't a mighty horse at all,
    it was just a jackass. How embarrassing...

    They bribed court judges to find him guilty of ridiculous crimes.
    What!?

    Very certainly yes.

    Exhibit C: We're needlessly dependent on foreign oil.

    For the most part, yes.

    Show your source here. Quadrupled is an exaggeration. They have gone up.
    They are currently 33% higher here than they were in 2019. In some places they've supposedly doubled. I am not aware of any place in the USA where

    Service to countty includes the military, but not limited. As clearly
    shown by Tim Walz, who continued serving his country as a member of
    Congress, and as governor of Minnesota. And he wants to continue to
    serve. And serve. And serve. As governor, vice president, president,
    whatever capacity the American people want. Service to America and
    its people is his thing. What a wonderful world to have him in it.

    I served on the volleyball team, and then I "continued that service" when I

    Donald Trump has been convicted of criminal charges and he has more charges to
    answer for.

    Impeachment and removal are technically two different things in the US.
    You can be impeached (by the House) without being removed (by the Senate). Removal is reserved for "treason, bribery," and other "high crimes," so an impeachment resulting in removal from office does require a crime to have
    been comitted.

    Trump's criminal conviction, regarding his finances, was indeed separate
    from either of his impeachments. I think that is what you are
    implying correctly here.

    "I see dead people Alvin Brags case against Trump goes paranormal"

    I see dead people. Before this week, that claim was most associated with the nine-year-old character Cole Sear from the 1999 film, The Sixth Sense. But now it is one of the talents claimed by former adult film actress Stormy Daniels in her bizarre testimony in Manhattan during former President Donald Trump's trial.

    It turns out that speaking to the dead was one of the few relevant things Daniels had to offer in the case, which is now on a collision course with a motion for acquittal before the case even goes to the jury.

    The Daniels testimony will live in infamy in the annals of criminal justice. For two days, she offered lurid and completely irrelevant details whose only possible purpose was to humiliate Trump. Admitting that she was coached by the prosecution in her testimony, it was clear that she was there not to win a case but to win an election. Judge Juan Merchan [who kind of looks like the infamous Frankenstein] allowed this legal burlesque to unfold in his courtroom, later blaming defense counsel who had vociferously objected to her appearance and the scope of the examination.

    The cross examination was devastating. It shattered her laughable claim that she had not really been seeking money in shaking Trump down for a non-disclosure agreement, a claim contradicted by her own former lawyer. Daniels also revealed that she had spoken with the dead, and that a ghost had once held her boyfriend under water in a bathtub. She also said that she lived in a haunted house, only to discover later that the spirit haunting it was actually a large possum.

    In a case based on a dead misdemeanor and a rapidly falling heart rate on the manufactured felony, one can understand the appeal of witnesses who can speak for the dead. Indeed, Daniels' graphic testimony may prove the moral high point of this trial, since serial perjurer and disbarred attorney Michael Cohen is scheduled to testify Monday.

    Cohen recently broke his pledge, midway through the trial, to stop attacking and taunting Trump. Cohen has insisted that he deserves the protection of the gag order by Judge Merchan as a witness, despite serious constitutional concerns. Merchan continues to threaten Trump with jail if he responds to Cohen's unrelenting attacks. Merchan waited for the weekend before his testimony to suggest that the prosecutors tell Cohen to stop the public antics.

    But it remains unclear what the order is protecting Cohen from. Not only is he trolling for money on social media with reference to the trial, but he is also widely being attacked by others. It is only Trump who cannot address his attacks, including political opposition to his campaign.

    Cohen's testimony will be the culmination of this travesty of a trial. But Bragg already jumped the shark with Daniels. After three weeks, legal experts are still debating what the crime was that Trump was seeking to conceal by recording payments for a standard non-disclosure agreement as a legal expense. (That is the same characterization used by Hillary Clinton's campaign for its funding for the infamous Steele dossier.)

    It is still unclear that Trump even knew how the payments were characterized, and the alleged false record was not even created until after the election was over. Yet he stands accused of using the false business records to somehow steal or rig an election that was already over.

    After this circus with Cohen is complete, Trump will be allowed to testify. He would be insane to do so. Merchan has already said that he will allow a broad scope to cross-examination, making any appearance unlikely.

    That is when Merchan will face a key test of judicial ethics. He has failed to protect the rights of the defendant from a baseless, politically motivated prosecution. He could insist that he simply felt Bragg had a right to present his case. He will soon be done and, as expected, it is entirely based on Cohen, a disbarred perjurer who will ask for his former client to be sent to prison for following his own legal advice.

    After Bragg closes the prosecution's case, the defense will make a standard motion for dismissal. Merchan should grant that motion.

    There has been no showing of an actual crime, let alone a clear record tying Trump to key decisions or actions.

    Merchan will then have to decide whether he has the courage that Bragg lacked. Bragg knew that this case was ridiculous. The Justice Department had declined any prosecution for a federal campaign finance violation, the theory referenced in the case. Indeed, it did not even seek a civil fine over the payments. Bragg's predecessor had also REJECTED the prosecution.

    When Bragg took over, he similarly balked and stopped the move toward an indictment. But two prosecutors in his office, Carey R. Dunne and Mark F. Pomerantz, then resigned and started a public pressure campaign to get New Yorkers to demand prosecution.

    Pomerantz went even further and took an action that some of us viewed as deeply unethical and unprofessional. Over the objections of his own former office and colleagues, he published a book on the case against Trump then still under investigation and not charged, let alone convicted. It was a pressure campaign directed at Bragg. In New York, Bragg knew that he would either have to indict Trump or forget about reelection.

    Merchan will now have to make the same choice in yielding to politics or principle or to the paranormal. He has already allowed every effort to bring this dead misdemeanor back to life. But even Stormy Daniels may not be able to serve as a Merchan's medium in reaching back eight years.

    No it is not. It *can* result in removal in cases of treason, bribery, and "other high crimes" but that is not always the case.

    Less than half of successful impeachments in the US (22) have resulted in removal from office (8). No successful Presidential impeachments in the US (4) have resulted in removal.

    You need to brush up. Andrew Jackson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump
    (twice) were *all* impeached. *None* of them were removed from office.

    Again, there have been a total of 22 federal officers impeached during the lifetime of the USA, but only 8 (who were all federal judges) were removed
    from office. The other 14 were impeached but *not* removed.

    Maybe in Canada it is all one thing, but in the United States, impeachment
    does not automatically = removal from office.

    You *seem* to understand, in other converstations, that Donald Trump was impeached, and twice at that. If your definition is correct, he would have been removed from office. Since Trump remained in office, your definition of impeachment is proven not to be correct.

    is impeached. If there is no majority, the motion of impeachment fails.

    The senate determines the outcome of impeachment.

    The vote in the House of Representatives determines the outcome
    of impeachment. If the motion passes, the individual is impeached.
    If the motion fails, the individual is not impeached.

    The senate has nothing to do with the matter. If the motion passes
    in the House, the individual is impeached. What the Senate does is a
    separate matter, as it acts as a "court" to decide whether or not to
    remove the individual from office. With the Chief Justice of the
    Supreme Court presiding over the "trial" - thus ensuring fairness.

    Maybe in Canada it is all one thing, but in the United States, impeachment
    does not automatically = removal from office.

    I am not saying that impeachment = removal from office.

    It is part of a process.

    You *seem* to understand, in other converstations, that Donald Trump was
    impeached, and twice at that. If your definition is correct, he would have
    been removed from office. Since Trump remained in office, your definition
    of impeachment is proven not to be correct.

    Impeacment is not a criminal proceeding.

    It can be, in cases of treason.

    Someone may be impeached and removed from office or not.

    Impeachment is a form of indictment. An accusation. That in and of
    itself is not a conviction, or a sentence.

    If crimes have been committed there may be criminal proceedings that are not
    part of impeachment.

    Crimes? What crimes? The US Supreme Court has ruled the president
    has immunity and can do whatever he wants. In his official capacity.

    The very thought of that should make you quake in your Canadian boots.

    For Life,

    An impeachment is to remove someone from office.
    No it is not.
    Yes it is.
    You need to brush up. Andrew Jackson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump (twice) were *all* impeached. *None* of them were removed from office.

    The purpose of impeachment is to remove someone from office. The senate determines the outcome of impeachment.

    An impeachment is like an indictment. Just like you can be indicted but
    never found guilty, you can be impeached and not be removed from office.

    Maybe in Canada it is all one thing, but in the United States, impeachment does not automatically = removal from office.

    I am not saying that impeachment = removal from office.

    Yes, you did. It is above and repeated here:

    An impeachment is to remove someone from office.

    I knew we'd land soon enough on "I didn't say that" once you realized you
    were mistaken.

    Impeacment is not a criminal proceeding. Someone may be impeached and removed from office or not. If crimes have been committed there may be criminal proceedings that are not part of impeachment.

    True in the sense that it does not occur in the criminal court system.
    However, removal from office does rest on the House's ability to convince
    the Senate that criminal acts (treason, bribery, other "high crimes") have
    been committed. The Senate does not have the power to remove someone who
    has not committed these criminal acts, even if the house decided to impeach them.

    Hello Gregory,

    Acquitted? An impeachment is not a criminal proceeding and DJT AI>was not
    acquitted of anything. This was a major republican failure AI>to act.

    You have much to learn.
    In the message you are to read or ignore - I have captured the essence of Great legal minds, all of which would proclaim you to be idiot.

    Donald Trump was successfully impeached - twice - by the US House
    of Representatives. Majority vote was all that was needed - regardless
    of party. And then trial was held in the US Senate. Where the accused
    was convicted by majority vote. The only "failure" was (as Alan noted) republicans decision not to remove Trump from office.

    Just wanted to pass that along as a public service message who would take the time to be offended or take no offense and of course not be offended.

    Impeachment is forever. Kind of like indelible ink. The stain can
    never be removed. And Trump managed to get two of them.

    An impeachment according to
    https://tinyurl.com/2p9dkh7x
    An Impeachment is the process of bringing
    charges against a government official for wrongdoing. A trial may be held, and the official may be removed from office. My point is that these baseless efforts failed. Twice, with the acquittals.

    Trump was impeached (twice) by the US House of Representatives.
    Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers (US Senate).
    He was not removed from office, which is a different matter.

    Donald Trump has been convicted of criminal charges and he has more
    charges to answer for.

    Trumps supporters are only growing larger from what they were.

    Harris' lead in the polls is growing larger from what they were.
    So much so that she is in the lead, with Trump trailing badly.

    But that is beside the point. Trump is a convicted felon, having
    been found guilty of having committed criminal acts. With more
    counts pending. He will be sentenced in due time, and escorted
    off the stage to a galaxy far, far away ...

    These "so called charges" that you speak have back fired and to coin a phrase "Big League" The Charges... had a complete opposite effect of what they intended do.

    The term "convicted felon" will soon be changed to "convicted
    felon sentenced to jail" - thus making things clearer for MAGA
    idiots to understand.

    The plan was to destroy Trump with this fever pitch rhetoric.
    The plain and simple truth is the Left painted Trump with a broad brush with
    their haste, and they screwed up... So Bad.. (Christopher Walken)

    We tried to draft Christopher Walken for President. He is from
    Queens, and speaks fluent Y'at. But Kamala is bitch, and Walken
    turned it down.

    Trump for 77 years was a golden to everyone, he had a great presidency (Yes I do have that list of accomplishments and it is long.)
    Out no where Trump *WAS* facing a Frankenstein ruling in New York.

    Dr. Frankenstein's monster was done away with, and now we will soon
    have a black woman as POTUS. And what a wonderful world that will be.

    But before then, time for some amusement -

    Aaron Rodgers' second attempt to jumpstart the New York Jets.
    His first outing only lasted a few short plays. Could not even
    get a single first down. Maybe this time around he will last
    a bit longer. Might even complete a pass.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Impeachment is forever. Kind of like indelible ink. The stain can
    never be removed. And Trump managed to get two of them.

    What will also be remembered is the democrats w/ their seething hatred along with their but-hurt feelings who rushed to judge an innocent man.
    Crying and sobbing they stepped on to their high house only to be pushed off of it via the acquittals.

    This is really old news now.
    Your attempt to pull something out of this is pointless.
    Due to the outcome of how it ended. It remains a Win for us and still is a loss for you and for people who think just like you do.
    If you really want to get that lump of agony in your throat all over again.
    So be it.

    The Trump administration has released an unclassified transcript of President Trump's July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky:

    https://tinyurl.com/3ybjh4s8

    Quid Pro Quo Joe:
    Biden Brags About Getting Ukraine Prosecutor Viktor Shokin Fired https://tinyurl.com/3mrchsd6

    Recording of calls between Joe Biden and ex-Ukraine President Poroshenko leaked | New York Post
    https://tinyurl.com/3skcmftb

    The first charged the President with abuse of power, alleging that he had used the powers of his office to solicit Ukraine's interference in the 2020 election and had conditioned official acts, such as the release of military aid to Ukraine and a White House visit, on President Zelenskyy agreeing to announce the investigations. "President Trump," the article alleged, "engaged in this scheme or course of conduct for corrupt purposes in pursuit of personal political benefit."

    Trump being aware of what Biden did illegally, he did not want to same corruption to continue to occur.

    How is what Joe Biden did any different and why is he given a pass, when there is video-graphic evidence of Biden committing Quid Pro Quo.
    Again in case you missed it.
    https://tinyurl.com/3mrchsd6

    The second article charged the President with obstruction of the House impeachment investigation by directing the "unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives."11 "This abuse of office," the article alleged, was "subversive of constitutional government" and "nullif[ied] a vital constitutional safeguard vested solely in the House of Representatives."12

    Donald Trump has been convicted of criminal charges and he has more
    charges to answer for.

    That is crok too, it's for the billboards and also largely so that these deranged democrats can go around and spit again and and again
    "convicted felon."
    Why? In hope of hopes that this will resonate and stick come election day. Instead... It has backfired and blew up in their face.
    People aren't as stupid as the left thinks.
    They see the smear campaign by the left.
    It's all done to evoke fear - page ripped out of the Democratic play book.

    Trumps supporters are only growing larger from what they were.

    Harris' lead in the polls is growing larger from what they were.
    So much so that she is in the lead, with Trump trailing badly.

    Harris is a circus -
    That CNN sit down with Harris did not go as well.
    It was a 40 minute interview edited down to 14 minutes by CNN.
    There are many videos which analyze facial expressions - pressed annoyed lips and odd head movements, when answering CNN'S Dana Bash.
    No one is going to fooled by this flip flopping kamala Karma Chameleon.

    Trump for 77 years was a golden to everyone, he had a great presidenc (Yes I do have that list of accomplishments and it is long.)
    Out no where Trump *WAS* facing a Frankenstein ruling in New York.

    Dr. Frankenstein's monster was done away with, and now we will soon

    Just as wonderful as the first Black man as President...
    We all saw how that turned out.
    This moron started America's road to ruin.
    which is why Trump will Make America Great again.
