You are so pathetic. You said that indictments do not establish probable cause. You were wrong. I proved you were wrong, by citing the U.S. Department of Justice as my source. But you are so pathetic that you can’t just say, “Oh, I was wrong, I didn’t know that.” The rest of us should use this little exchange to see that you do not conduct yourself with integrity nor honestly. And you should consider that perhaps you are wrong about a great many other things: The election was not stolen, for starters.

Donald Trump has not been charged with incitement, although you agree that it’s a crime. Regarding Jan 6, Trump is facing four Federal charges: 1 count Conspiracy to defraud the United States The charge against Mr. Trump details the various methods he and co-conspirators used to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. 2 counts Related to efforts to obstruct the vote certification proceedings Mr. Trump faces two charges involving the vote certification proceedings at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021: one of obstructing that process and one of conspiring to do so. 1 count Conspiracy to violate civil rights Related to Mr. Trump’s attempts to reverse election results in states with close elections in 2020. Full annotated text of the indictment: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/01/us/politics/trump-jan-6-indictment-2020-election-annotated.html

Donald Trump clearly does not understand how US government works. His position is clear that he believes the President is dictator. If the President disagrees with any law or court ruling, the President just ignores it and does what ye wants. Because that’s what immunity means to Trump. The law says one thing, and Trump does another. Congress blocking his funding? No problem, just throw a few of them in jail without trial. Or have them shot. Doesn’t matter when you’re immune from prosecution. You can break as many laws as you want. You don’t even need Congress or the courts any more. Disband them.

Learn US law: ”the grand jury's principal function is to determine whether or not there is probable cause to believe that one or more persons committed a certain Federal offense within the venue of the district court” https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-11000-grand-jury#:~:text=While grand juries are sometimes,venue of the district court. Probable Cause of Donald Trump criminal felony has been formally established by grand juries 91 times.

Because that is not legal, and The Dumb-Dumb Party, at Trump’s insistence just blocked legislation that they wrote which would do that. They also blocked additional border protection funding. You are complaining about a Republican-Party created “crisis” being used as an election plank. I am against illegal immigration and even excessive refugee immigration. But the government must use legal means to stop it, not dictatorship. Personally, I think the law should let law enforcement or a court ask for proof of legal residency in the U.S., and if you cannot reasonably prove you belong here (not on the spot); you should be put on a bus. I have no problem with that, but it must be legal.

The GOP is filled with draft dodger politicians. Lots of combat vet Democrats, like Tammy Duckworth.

Employers benefit from illegal immigrants. -
The proposed law does not say that 5,000 people a day are allowed to enter the United States. It says that the President has the authority to immediately deport illegal immigrants if the level of illegal entries reaches 5,000 people a day. It does not make those entries legal.

Because, first, the choice is binary, and between the two, a guy who cheated on a term paper sixty years ago is nothing compared to a man who says and who has demonstrated that he will become a dictator. Second, I don’t even know the extent of his plagiarism. It can mean a lot of things, from a very minor accident to a very deliberate action. Don’t know what happened. But Biden has demonstrated great integrity and skill since then. All people are flawed. You’ve stolen or cheated at some point in your life. But some people are downright wicked, and others are not. Donald Trump is in the outright wicked category. But also, I do not think that Republican policies are good for America at all. Since 1980, their policy has been to slash taxes for the rich so much that the poor pay higher marginal rates than the rich, then massively increase spending while slashing spending on the social programs most necessary for the destitute. And, of course, do everything possible to cater to the whims of tobacco and oil, or, in today’s world, oil. I don’t think that the Republicans today are more pro-business than Democrats; Trump’s tariffs of China were a good example of a policy that harmed a lot of American businesses who had become interdependent upon China over the past decades. I think Trump’s foreign policy is absolutely horrific; he prefers alliances with dictators to those with democracies and he would surely hand Ukraine over the Russia in a heartbeat.

That is patently false. The Constitution and the law does not give the President such power. The courts already ruled that Biden had to open the border when the Covid epidemic ended. I get that your plan is to elect a man who says he will be a dictator. Meaning, he thinks the President can violate any law he wants and any court order he wants, and stay in office as long as he wants. Where the President has any power that he says he has. Thats what you want. I don’t want to live in a dictatorship. I want a President who follows the law and the courts and is accountable to them. That’s what I want.

In other words, you don’t actually know anything about this proposal, you’re just parroting what jerkoff-wing media told you. The 5,000 figure triggers a new authority which the Republicans wanted which did not exist before. So how can that be worse? And those 5,000 can still be rounded up and deported.

Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome

“The Embassy of Japan in the United States is aware of recent media reports concerning the steps Taylor Swift will need to take to travel from Tokyo after her concert on February 10th to Las Vegas in time to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play in Super Bowl LVIII.” “Despite the 12-hour flight and 17-hour time difference, the Embassy can confidently Speak Nowto say that if she departs Tokyo in the evening after her concert, she should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins,” the statement continued. https://deadline.com/2024/02/japan-embassy-taylor-swift-tokyo-super-bowl-2024-las-vegas-1235813669/amp/ -
The Pathetic House GOP MAGA Republicans, failing to pass any border security deal, failing to approve aid for Israel, failing to approve aid for Ukraine, failing to impeach Joe Biden, took a floor vote today to impeach Cabinet Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas… and they failed. Their excuse was that Mayorkas should be impeached for breaking a law, although they couldn’t say which law he’d broken. No cabinet Secretary has been indicted for over 150 years, and Mayorkas wasn’t impeached either. The Republicans asked for an immigration bill and the Democrats agreed! They reached an agreement in the U.S. Senate and the House Republican response is that they can’t comment until they read it but they won’t pass it no matter what it says.
