takeda,

This one talks about it: youtu.be/uMVnhJEDQtg

House arrest is not a penalty that would help him rehabilitate.

He needs an actual jail to learn anything.

At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.

takeda,

No, that won’t do any rehabilitation. It needs to be jailed or maybe cleaning the highway.

takeda,

So we have:

  • if he did something, special counsel would find something
  • if he did something, he would be impeached
  • if he did something, he would be charged with a crime
  • if he did something, he would be tried
  • if he did something, he would be convicted
  • well, those things happened, but it is a banana republic

Keep in mind that there are 3 more trials left. Also that Cohen already spent 3 years in jail for helping Trump commit this exact crime.

What is more likely? That almost entire world (including 12 jurors that were vetted by his defense) set against him and decided to lie and cheat to get an innocent man convicted, or that he maybe it is just him who lies and cheats?

takeda, (edited )

That’s why we have a trial by jury of peers.

An executive branch can issue a pardon, legislative branch can create a law making the crime no longer being a crime and impeach judges.

If those things are not enough, then we have a much more serious problem.

takeda,

Judges can’t put you in jail if DA doesn’t bring charges and a jury won’t convict.

Canon is trying to do the reverse, using anything she has at her disposal for the trial to not happen as she knows that this case is pretty much an open shut case.

takeda,

Well, as you see, they prefer doing the terrorist things.

takeda,

The business records fraud case (“hush money” is misleading what it was) is just the first case that nothing blocked it from proceeding.

Documents case is blocked by Canon, J6 is blocked by SCOTUS, I guess the Georgia case could proceed too, but was maybe more complicated than this one.

takeda,

Compare MAGA talking points with news on Russia Today or Sputnik.

Ask your MAGA friends what they think about the EU, NATO, UN, Ukraine, Zelensky, Putin, Biden, Trump then compare with Russian interests.

It couldn’t be any clearer. What are the odds that MAGA views nearly in 100% overlaps with Russian best interests?

Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction (t.co)

“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s— is out of control.”...

takeda,

Can I remind you that trump declared he is running again after federal investigation started? This is why special counsel was appointed.

This particular case actually started when trump was still president. Cohen is a convicted felon that already served 3 years, because he helped trump commit this exact crime. Trump wasn’t indicted back then only because he was president at the time.

takeda,

Well Mike Johnson would be most fitting as he is the speaker and decides which bills are up for a vote.

takeda,

One was trying to pass a law to sanction ICC the other said it was outrageous to equate Israel with Hamas.

takeda, (edited )

The picture shows Biden but the text says House which is controlled by Republicans.

Very disingenuous. Not even the same branch of the government.

takeda,

Put him in jail, that’s basically what the judge ruled.

takeda,

Whoa, so he lost his license, then got caught for driving without license and for that case he dialed to court while driving without license. And not just that, but he also did a video call while driving which likely is also not allowed.

Dude, if he was still driving without a license at least should stop get out and pretend to walk during the call.

takeda,

It’s not like she is already against prosecution. I don’t believe it could be any more partisan than it already is.

As for delay her last ruling essentially made it indefinite.

takeda,

We saw other similar news from China which turned out to be a bunk. I wouldn’t hold my breath. I would love to be wrong though.

takeda,

Aren’t those already banned by Biden?

takeda,

Did China even produce anything in Mexico, my understanding is that they want to produce everything internally.

takeda,

Trump just confused things (Hailey, Pelosi, Biden, Obama etc). What he means is that he will ban European cars built in Mexico, but allow Tesla produced in China.

I’m half serious, because that’s much more consistent with his policies in 2017-2020

takeda,

What’s with that?

I recently read an article that he is allowing to install China’s face tracking cameras in Hungary. I first thought that he was installing it for his own benefit and just got the technology from China, but this actually will be used by China.

While I might grasp his unexplained love for putin, this looks like just selling your country to foreign autocracies.

takeda,

As you said, this would require an additional action.

And to me it looks like it can’t be done by EO and would have to be a legislation. And during trump very few legislations got passed even when they had a majority.

The restrictions on sale through Mexico can be implemented when it actually is a problem.

I found an article where they announced a factory in Mexico, but it first have to be built. The news also appears to be before the sanctions were announced. So if that factory was meant for US market this could change their plans, as adding 100% sanctions signals determination to plugin other loopholes.

takeda,

The SCOTUS issue is real, but even if we ignore it, trump is openly pro Israel. His 2017-2020 record shows that too. I can’t comprehend how someone would think it could be possibly better with trump for Palestinians. I’m convinced that if he was in charge he would actually send US soldiers to fight with IDF in Gaza. He nearly started war with Iran, because (his words), Nethanyahu told him to.

takeda,

I understand that, but the First Past The Post voting method doesn’t allow more than two parties. The third party doesn’t act anything but a spoiler, it is impossible for it to ever win and your vote for a 3rd party is essentially the same as not voting at all. This is how disinformation is used to persuade people who don’t want trump to not vote or essentially throw away your vote in protest.

I’ve been fooled this way in 2016 and don’t want others to make the same mistake.

We should push on local levels to adopt RCV (Ranked Choice Voting) to allow voting for candidates that closet matches our goals without worrying about spoiler effect and someone who we really don’t want winning.

Also a lot of how our delivery degraded was thanks to SCOTUS. Conservative judges ruled that money is free speech and sending money to politicians should not be restricted.

Second big hit was destroying voting rights act making out harder for unrepresented minorities to vote.

And guess what, during trump presidency he appointed 3 conservative judges and now it is 6-3 (conservative vs progressive) this is why Roe vs Wade was repealed and other shenanigans.

Those judges are appointed for life (so those 3 will affect us for decades) and there are another 2 judges that are at age that could be replaced.

takeda,

Zionism is a movement that believes Israel should exist. I would imagine the majority of Americans support that too even if they might be against the current operation in Gaza.
