You're talking about a thread where people give their opinion and just don't understand why everybody else doesn't agree with it.I'm just gonna throw it out there and suggest that, whether with our without due process, any talk of killing politicians as a course of action makes this thread stupider.
They cleaned it up in the official White House transcript. They have to do that a lot, I guess they go through the written speech and suss it out from there. I can't figure out the benefit of messing with women though.Does anyone know what the lesson is?
And when we do that, we’ll teach Donald Trump a valuable lesson: Don’t mess with the women of America unless you want to get the benefit. (Applause.)
Apology acceptedOMG! Im SOOOOO sorry! You guys said "executed". My BAD! Totally not even remotely similar.
So mass assassinations would probably put us on a slippery slope to somewhere, that's why mass executions was suggested...but we've already gone over that"Probably because most of us don't think mass executions of politicians are appropriate? Kind of a slippery slope don't you think?
We also try to avoid extreme hyperbole, if that's really what this is. Do you really think Biden should be assassinated? Fuck democracy, and all that?"
There, is that better? jfc...
How does one serve justice when everyone is guilty?Listen, the arguments are very simple.
A government's primary duty is to protect its people and preserve its way of life.
If you forego the protection of your border, abandon control of immigration, and allow millions of foreigners to vote and thus subvert your democracy, this is functionally the same as letting an invading army take over your country.
Which would be - and thus is - treason.
You've intentionally failed in your primary duty.

As for Trump, it's clear at this point that he's intentionally manufactured a "rigged election" story in anticipation of his 2020 defeat, and attempted to leverage that story to deny the country a peaceful transition of power.
In other words, an attempted coup. Sedition.

I have no interest in a civil war, I’ve seen enough death and destruction in other countries to want it to come to America, (or Canada too).
But I’m also disgusted with Politicians who forget their role, and instead of serving the nation, use it as a trough to get rich from foreign and domestic influencers.
There should be severe consequences for that, and for some of the most egregious crimes, they should be executed for treason.
Not random violence - but investigation by impartial sources, then tried by judge and jury - and if guilty beyond reasonable doubt, well they get what they deserve.
Public hanging at the Capitol would be my preferred option mainly to remind other Politicians to no stray from the path of righteousness.
That all makes sense except the highlighted no longer exists. Who's fault is that?How does one serve justice when everyone is guilty?

To be fair, Biden's made similar claims when it looked like he wasn't going to get exactly the voting bills passed that he wanted.As for Trump, it's clear at this point that he's intentionally manufactured a "rigged election" story in anticipation of his 2020 defeat, and attempted to leverage that story to deny the country a peaceful transition of power.

There are a large number of egregious problems with the proceedings and the judge of this trial. I'll leave that for the appeal.Well that didn't take long! The jury in Donald Trumps defamation trial have already brought in their decision: $83.3 million in damages.

However, I'm not going to get involved in the defence of Trump against the bunch of Never Trumpers here. I don't have the time or inclination.
Suffice to say, I expect another bump in the polls for him. The court of public opinion will decide.

He’s put Congressional republicans in a tricky bind with this offer. It’s a good deal with a lot of what they want. Against that they have a Trump & Co. working back channels to try to block Biden achieving a border deal because it would help Biden in the election. O the republicans currently in Congress have to explain why they aren’t taking a pretty compelling deal, or alternatively have to rebuff Trump. Skillful move by Biden.I finally figured out Biden's strategy. It's genius (albeit dangerous and has the potential to cause long lasting damage to the country).
Recently I asked on here what Biden had to gain by allowing this border crisis to spiral. It only seemed to give the Republicans more political ammunition.
Well, consider this first: the US southern border has ALWAYS been an issue. When you are the rich "land of opportunity" with a large difficult to secure border that is adjacent to dozens of poor countries, you're going to have a level of illegal immigration higher than most places in the world. Republicans know this, and they love using the border it as a cudgel to win political points over Democrats. However, Republicans being the dishonest opportunists they are never wanted to actually solve the border crisis. Any meaningful changes during the Biden administration would be nothing more than a win for Biden, and this strategy works because they know in reality the level of illegal immigration (while higher than they might want) poses very little actual danger to the fundamental fabric of the country. There simply wasn't a real crisis, and Republicans knew it.
Biden wants Ukraine aide. Republicans want border reform in exchange, except they really don't; they just want to keep using the border as a political tool.
So, how does Biden get around this? He turns the border into an ACTUAL crisis, so much so that not even Machiavellian Republicans would dare obstruct legitimate efforts to fix it.
