Are we ok with vendetta government?

[buttercup]

you realize that if we let him get away with it, Dems will claim the same power. Will you like that as much?

I've been trying to get people to realize that any power we give to a politician or party we like is still going to be there when a politician or party we don't like is in power. It has mostly fallen on deaf ears, though.

Never said Trump was Hitler. But MAGA is a fascist movement. I'm done pretending otherwise.

Go ahead and outline just HOW MAGA is fascist.
GO!!!!!

So, no. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying prudent leadership would be to resist the desire for revenge and focus on good government. Show them how it should be done, rather than just mimicking their bullshit in reverse.

Reagan didn't do much payback and neither did Slick. IF people see someone doing what they think is "good work" they'll approve, and disapprove of the naysayers. IF you have a job in any functioning organization, you see that. It's called "leadership."

Trump's simply an illustration of why guys like Bloomberg or Ioccoa of Bill Gates don't do politics. It's unfortunate because Trump could be great, and he may turn out to be .... but still hated and divisive, like Jackson or Nixon

the thing you seem to exclude is everything they did was illegal. It's going to look large since it included so many suspects. Right?

You should have thought of that before you accepted the LAWFARE abuses of the demented LEFT.

I didn't accept that. In fact, I argued vehemently against it. Because I knew that Republicans would just turn around and do the same stupid shit (or worse). Unfortunately, that's the way the two party death spiral works. Each party tries to one up the last with even more egregious excess.

That pretty much sums it up.

No. I'm not playing "pretend" with you.

Anything that the DOJ does now to address those that ABUSED the law will be in NO WAY revenge, it will be JUSTICE.

Of course, of course. "It's different when we do it!!!"

You are pretending that MAGA is fascist, that's for sure.

 

[buttercup]

It can happen. But we have to get over the lesser-of-two-evils fearmongering first.

I hate to sound like a gloom and doomer but I really don't think that's ever going to happen. Unpopular viewpoint, but I think we're past the point of no return. As the comments on this (and just about every other) thread shows, extreme partisan loyalty - on both sides - will prevent any true change from ever happening, and will eventually be our downfall. Which is precisely what the powers-that-shouldn't-be designed to happen, in my view. Divide and conquer, one of the oldest tricks in the book.

 

[sealybobo]

No, I don't.

And I certainly never said that.

And being found guilty in a Kangaroo Court means little to me.

No it was a real court, stupid.

This is the thing idiots like you don't understand. You guys make all these claims and accept those claims as facts. No court. No jury. Just lies and public opinion. It's a lot harder to lie in court. In fact, all the lies Trump told you about the election being stolen? He never made those claims in court. Because he would have been laughed out of court.

So know this. You believe evidence that would get laughed out of a court room.

And when your boys are convicted, suddenly it's a kangaroo court. How convienent you dumb fucker. I guess the Chrisley's were wrongfully convicted too right? That's why Trump gave them a full pardon? God you're dumb.

 

[Crepitus]

The Demos just make-up crimes

 

[jc456]

Rage and revenge don't make good, effective, efficient, less intrusive government.

Unfortunately, that seems to be all MAGA has in mind.

So trump wins in 2016 and the revenge by demofks was two impeachments, than go after all trump associates and trump himself after he leaves office and that's all okay in your fking demented world? hahahahahahahaahahaha fk off loser.

 

[Crepitus]

which of his enemies has he gone after?

All of them.

DERP

 

[jc456]

No he was found guilty alright by a jury of 10 and you still voted for him. Remember a lot of you said "if he's found guilty I won't vote for him" but you voted for him anyways.

what was the charge?

 

[jc456]

All of them.

DERP

when?

 

[Crepitus]

Trump = Hitler. Fucking brilliant. DId you come with that all on your own?

It's so obvious anyone can see it.

Anyone but you apparently.
