Are we ok with vendetta government?

[Oddball]

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

You've certainly tossed them overboard, to sit around and snivel.

How about you two fucking frauds go get a room?

To end the lawfare.

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.

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?

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.

What do D's need to do?

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

It's obvious he doesn't care one wit about real violations of existing black-letter laws....Look at every post he has ducked where that is concerned.

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

True, they don't call those Republican gas bags in congress doormats for nothing. The only two times in the past 50 years they grew half a spine were when Trump fought their battles for them. Here Trump just demolished the entire Dem party and media and Trump still has to do all the heavy lifting in this fight.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Trump has pardoned how many criminals since January? Trump has made how much money since he was elected President?

Even when the truth is so obvious that no one even tries to hide it, the MAGA crowd simply covers their eyes.

Happily, eyes wide open.

MAGA

How so?

By letting the dems get away with their crimes.

Theres a difference between going after people who are suspected of committing crimes and going after people because you don’t like them.

 

[Independent thinker]

Negotiate over what??

Weapon??

Pass laws, or Constitutional amendments making it explicitly illegal to target political enemies with the state. Repeal regulations that give government the power to fuck with people and businesses ad hoc.

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.

And who is going to do that, democrats and republicans?

Careful, you might get a sternly worded letter from Jordan and Comer!

 

[Independent thinker]

See, I'm not. In fact, what worries me most about MAGA is that when it all comes crashing down, Dems will rush in with full blown socialism as the "final solution".

What is MAGA? Who is MAGA?

How do you eat an elephant?

A little Tabasco goes a long way.

A convenient strawman to broadbrush.

 

[BluesLegend]

Let's be honest, the Dem's lawlessness born of desperation having lost the American people is OFF THE CHARTS. Breaking news today is Hospice Joe wasn't even aware people were using the autopen to sign anti-energy climate change BANS on energy production left and right.

Leave it to Democrats to go 110% negative on making American great. Wow just wow.

 

[Independent thinker]

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.

Why just Mondays? Personally I'd add another day onto the week to make eight days per week and then OK it for eight days/week.

 

[Oddball]

TBH, Trump is still disappointing and I'm glad to have abstained again.

But this shit right here is fucking preposterous.

Glad you see that we have had eight long years of democrats going after Trump because they don't like him.

Did I say that or are you being dishonest again?

Restoration
Not vendetta

Vendetta. Trump is tearing down the best economy on earth and destroying the credibility that was restored after his last presidency ended.

Thats not what happened.

Vendetta government is exemplified in dozens of ways, but most clearly in his executive orders targeting law firms.
