Are we ok with vendetta government?

[Oddball]

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

Ah yes...I remember when Trump let the IRS off the hook for violating the free speech rights of political opponents.

 

[BluesLegend]

So, you're saying let democrats get away with it and turn the other cheek?

Democrat SCUM will go right on doing what they have been doing unless we beat the living shit out of them as punishment.

 

[BackAgain]

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?

You are very trite. It’s not as though the Dims haven’t already engaged in the very behavior of which they (falsely) accuse our President.

And what you claim is a “vendetta” government in fact is not.

Get over yourself, ya shallow hack.

 

[Oddball]

Based on the OP, I believe the OP poster is a lying POS asshole. Hold on CERN is calling, yes they confirm it.

He's a fucking disgrace to every honest libertarian out there....Exactly the kind of intellectually dishonest dickweed that led me to leave the LP altogether.

 

[Independent thinker]

So, "they started it!!!!"?

Nearly every excuse MAGA dreams up could come out of the mouth of a spoiled 5 year-old.

They did start it. Nobody should be above the law. So, we're going after those who abused their power for political purposes because they should not be above the law.

 

[Oddball]

The vendetta government was there for the past 8 years.... What you're seeing now is the normal backlash caused by 8 years of legal abuse.
Don't like the genie being out of the bottle? Then don't let him out.

You fucking kidding?

He was out cowering in the tall grass when the demoncrats were doing it.

 

[BluesLegend]

Not only are we getting REVENGE on Democrats, we are enjoying it! We love watching Dems suffer and cry. This REVENGE is only a fraction of the punishment they should get, I say they should thank us for going easy on them.

 

[Independent thinker]

So what's you opinion on actual black-letter violations of the law?

Should we all just shrug because we "don't want to stoop to their level"?

Reminds me of Michelle Obama saying, "When they go low, we go high", and yet the truth is, democrats will go even lower.

 

[dblack]

Democrat SCUM will go right on doing what they have been doing unless we beat the living shit out of them as punishment.

LOL - that's not how it works. After we get tired of Trump, Dems will be back - and on their own vengeance tour. Wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[Delldude]

Pass laws, or Constitutional amendments making it explicitly illegal to target political enemies with the state.

It already is. It's how they dance around it that permits.

There's no deep state plotting the demise of the US.

No body is trying to dismantle it, only take control over the country....and it's one party.

USAID was the deep state clubhouse or laundry for all kinds of shady money transfers 'within the law'.

 

[Independent thinker]

I want to know why Trump gives tax cheats pardons. So the rich are fine not paying taxes?

The rich pay the huge majority of the taxes collected.

 

[dblack]

Not only are we getting REVENGE on Democrats, we are enjoying it! We love watching Dems suffer and cry. This REVENGE is only a fraction of the punishment they should get, I say they should thank us for going easy on them.

Yep. It's a national sickness.

 

[Delldude]

Dems will rush in with full blown socialism as the "final solution".

How do you eat an elephant?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

And the revenge cycle continues ...

Accountability =/= Revenge

Not sure why you seem so worried.

You have nothing to worry about, Republicans will NEVER hold democrats to account, not for election fraud, not for suborning the Invasion, not for Trafficking adults and children. NOTHING

 

[dblack]

Yeah, that's one of the many fascinating parts of this whole farce.

I agreed with them about all that, from the safe spaces to the trigger warnings and all the PC/college snowflake crap. And now they've chosen to go down the same goddamn path.

They've chosen to act just like those they despise. That says a lot about their "principles".

They don't bother talking about principles much these days. Just bizarre fantasies.

 

[Marener]

except the dems have been doing it for 8 years already retard.

Exactly how are they doing it?

 

[Independent thinker]

I'm looking forward to a President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez going ham on all these MFers OP.

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

You're going to be waiting for the rest of eternity. AOC cannot win a national election. But, it sounds to me like you are agreeing that everything Trump is doing is legal.

 

[BluesLegend]

LOL - that's not how it works. After we get tired of Trump, Dems will be back - and on their own vengeance tour. Wash, rinse, repeat.

No they won't, Dem scum went TOO FAR this time. When I become president I will issue an EO permitting knee a Dem in the groin day. Yeah, on every Monday.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Negotiate over what??

To end the lawfare.

Weapon??

Is Trump using the DOJ as a weapon? If not, what's the issue, again? If yes, the Democrats have done the same, and now are using low-level federal judges to affect the same policies the voters rejected by electing Trump.

You don't like the term "weapon," for the use of prosecution and courts against political opponents, suggest a better one.

Pass laws, or Constitutional amendments making it explicitly illegal to target political enemies with the state.

Good idea, in the hypothetical.

Going to be tough to even word such a law, much less enforce it. The problem with lawfare is the first syllable. By using the law, the culprit maintains a facade of legality. Their supporters can say "don't break the law, and you won't be prosecuted!"

For example, if Pam Bondi threatens to prosecute Hunter Biden for crimes he recorded and saved on his laptop, but offers to drop the charges if Joe Biden pleads guilty, how would a law be worded to prevent that?

How would anyone prove that Bondi was targeting Joe Biden and not just prosecuting a criminal who flouted the law for four years?

Who woud prove that, Pam Bondi being head of the DOJ?

Repeal regulations that give government the power to fuck with people and businesses ad hoc.

Yes, very much needed.

But prosecution is always selective. It has to be. Giving prosecutors the mission of prosecuting every single violation of every law, would mean they would need many times more staff than they have now, and we would need much larger and more numerous prisons.

Good prosecutors focus on criminals who do the most harm. If a prosecutor believes that the candidate of one political party is the most harmful person who could be prosecuted, he will go after that candidate.

But more than anything? Rs need to give up their lurid fantasies and insane rhetoric. There's no deep state plotting the demise of the US. There are foreign actors provoking the kind of division Trump feeds on, but the two party clusterfuck has us looking at our own countrymen as more "evil" than foreign enemies.

What do D's need to do?

Nothing, because the way they behaved the last eight years was fine?

 

[BackAgain]

LOL - that's not how it works. After we get tired of Trump, Dems will be back - and on their own vengeance tour. Wash, rinse, repeat.

After Trump is done, there won’t be any Democraps left. The Party has to change. And if you don’t like it, tough shit.
