Since this has been posted and debunked on this forum several times already, could you tell us where it's coming from? Because it's such a nonsensical statement that it's hard to imagine it's coming from anywhere except the deepest fever swamps of the right wing infosphere.
I have to admit that it wasn't. I removed that part as I was a bit out of line. Please accept my apologies, lawtig.
Bullshit. I believe (and I think there are millions like me) with my entire being that trump has broken laws and gained advantages the average person would have been prosecuted for and wouldn't have had the privilege to gain those advantages. I also believe just as much that the same is true for biden. This country was faced with maybe the worst choice of candidates it has ever had to choose from. From a used car salesman who grabs women by the pussy to an influence peddler with dementia, to an absolute idiot who fell out of a coconut tree and who wasn't democratically chosen to run. Rule of law didn't apply in this election because the country was not offered a virtuous choice and the direction of the country superseded it. I just wasn't among the majority of this board acting holier than thou and pretending that my side wasn't as guilty and looking down on others calling them all kinds of nasty names and hurling insults. Yes, you did participate in that name calling and pretending the left offered more virtue. This board is finding out just how politically wrong they were and how out of touch with mainstream America it is, and also how your side is no different with respect to rule of law. For you to point to the trump voters as those not voting for the rule of law is pure hypocrisy as evidenced by hunter's pardon. 75 million voters do care about the rule of law. They just have more clarity than the voters on this board because they saw the same perversion of the rule of law on the left and voted based on the direction of the country. The left ran an entire potus election being nothing more than hypocrites. "Rule of law" was a theme of this election. It was parroted by your celebrity influencers and media. It was used in the two debates by your candidates. And in the stroke of a pen, the left, this board, and anyone who denounced trump voters as not being concerned about the rule of law has had their hypocrisy exposed. Of course, lawtig, wmheel, and a couple of others had the guts to call it what it is.
Please tell me where I have made that a theme of mine. Where did I show hypocrisy regarding the rule of law? My comments have been completely about the left's attacking trump's voters about their lack of care about the rule of law and then excusing hunter's pardon through Bosiding about trump. No, this is all about this board's hypocrisy of justifying it because of TDS and then getting butthurt when called out on it.
Hahahahaha you are so full of fucking shit, hoss. You and 75 million people just voted for someone with felony convictions. Get the ever loving goddamn fuck out of here acting like you care about the rule of law. You and those 75 million people care about winning and nothing else. And you know what? That's fine! Just say that! Why are you dancing around it? I sure as hell have no problem admitting that about myself- I've said it many times. I want to win, I don't really care how it has to happen (within reason). But quit humiliating yourself with this fake ass piety and pearl clutching. You know you don't care- you're way more interested in trying to antagonize people on this forum because you feel personally victimized by several posters through the years (which is weird as fuck in and of itself, but to each their own). You are bizarrely fixated upon "this board" for some strange reason.
I believe that is correct. I don't think you are convicted until sentence is passed but i'm sure there are attorneys here who can provide more certainty.
Again, please tell me where I have made rule of law a point of any argument I have made. You are making shit up. I'm not pearl clutching, I'm highlighting hypocrisy. Trying to antagonize? Not at all. Calling people out who are all to willing to call conservatives out and hurl insults. Yes. Are they antagonized by that? Not if they aren't hypocrites and argue in good faith. How much of a snowflake do you have to be to dish it out and then cry like a little bitch when your hypocrisy is laid bare for all to see (not saying you personally as I don't think you care)
That's a good question. I had heard the sentence had to be passed.
Not all of what you say is wrong but I will just specifically note that the idea that there is the "same perversion of the rule of law on the left" compared to Trump and his cronies is laughable. I've already expressed my personal opinion that the Hunter pardon is a bad thing and a bad look, but it would probably barely rate in the top 100 acts of Trump's personal disrespect for and erosion of the rule of law. It is absolutely not helpful to Dems' case on the "rule of law" when their own side engages in some self-help via pardon, but any person who really believes that there is no difference between Trump and Biden/Harris when it comes to respect for the rule of law is either a fool or simply has been drowned in propaganda from right-wing media. (Including because the idea of Biden as a master "influence peddler" is based more on fiction than fact.)
oh, okay then.
You are absolutely correct- I don't care in the slightest.
It's the nepotism. You sure don't see any relatives or cronies getting pardons or positions or special favors under Trump.
I don't mean to speak for super but I think that's what he's getting at when he says this is not really about rule of law. And I agree with that as it relates to the legal parameters of the pardon power. I personally detest those parameters and think the power should be far, far narrower if it exists at all, but I'm not saying Biden lacked the power to issue this pardon.
I didn't take your comments as parody so if I misinterpreted them then you have my apology and retraction.
Thanks.
