Are we ok with vendetta government?

[Dekster]

It seems most of us are. For those of you cheering on Trump as he goes after his enemies - you realize that if we let him get away with it, Dems will claim the same power. Will you like that as much?

What makes you think that Trump started it? You do realize that the dems impeached Trump for the same shenanigan's that Biden pardoned Hunter for?

 

[jc456]

Both parties seem to think they are. That's what the thread is about. Is this the new normal? Are we just going to accept it?

Who runs the government?

Were you okay when Obama and Biden turned the justice department into "get Trump"?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

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

LOL so we should just ignore clear violations of law cause you don't like punishing the democrats?

 

[scruffy]

Yeah. I can. I'm doing it. "They started it!" is a childish excuse, not a defensible political ideology.

Do you know anything about control systems theory?

The first thing you do when you see oscillations of increasing amplitude, is to put more constraints on the system.

Which is exactly what President Trump is doing. You identify the source of the instability (in this case, leftist excess) and you put negative feedback on it.

What the President is doing is perfectly logical, and appropriate.

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.

right, it was so legit that the judge instructed the jury that of the 3 possible crimes they didn't need to agree which was broken and could vote guilty if they felt any was and didn't need to worry about find any specific crime.

No.

No.

The overwhelming consensus seems to be "Yes, government is now about getting revenge on your political enemies. We're good with that".

Who? Name names and how?

It can't and won't.

What is doing now is nothing but a drop in the bucket compared to what has been done for the past 8 years and better. If he was to respond tit for tat there would probably be about 25 high-level politicians sitting behind bars right now. Getting their mugshots taken and so forth. They could have done that to Comey but apparently they aren't as vicious as the Dems. That may be a mistake.

Comey is going down,
He deserves everything he gets.
But he'll flip for a deal
& he'll dime out
Everybody that's stepped on him
on his way up.

We might have to reopen Guantanamo after Obama closed it.

Oh that's right
from day one never happened.

I'm not sure
if Obama
even tried to close it
in his third term.

Nah, that's just leftard drivel.

There is no vendetta. If there were, things would look a lot different

He should be under hack right now, but he isn't.

Your party has been doing this for years, from Obama using the IRS to target journalists and dissenters, to the decade of Trump lawfare, to the J6 persecutions and political imprisonments, and beyond.

 

[dblack]

Your party has been ...

No, my party hasn't.

This OP is like asking, when Americans fought back after Pearl Harbor, "Wait, are we okay with guns and bombs instead of diplomacy?"

Nope. It's not like that at all. But the excuses are pretty pathetic. Basically, Republicans are saying: "They did bad things, so now WE get to do bad things!"

Why isn't it "fight back when attacked, and fight just as dirty as they, or they will win?"

It's up to the Dems - if they don't like lawfare - anymore to ask the GOP, particularly Trump, to come to the table, accept their apology and work out a way to verifiably agree to stop it.

If their pride won't let them do that, well they can do like MLK and right letters from jail.
