OK that translates to: "let's change the topic, as we have nothing of value to contribute here". No problem, everyone understands the jargon by now. A hint: it could have been much shorter too)... like all the way down to zero)

Are you taking lessons from the fat lying baby? You sure noticed that all that was conditional and in another, like alternate universe? In the meanwhile, in this one here Vlad-thug has miraculously forgotten of all his issues (and demands) to NATO and something (hint: real, that is not fat-cheek lies) did that to him. That would be the same difference between the reality and alternate, fat cheek lies. Enjoy. May also reflect on the downsides of turning the brain off, voluntarily and cheerfully.

You're down to lying, a sad but very predictable outcome in such cases. No point in conversations with a lying wall. George Floyd protests, Portland: "On July 24, federal prosecutors unveiled charges against 18 protesters, five of whom were charged with suspicion of assaulting a federal officer, trespassing and creating a disturbance during protests on the night of July 20–21, eight were charged in connection with criminal conduct during the July 21–22 night protest– "

Yes: we know very well who Vlad-thug respects because it's in the facts. Just two years ago Vlad was giving ultimatums to NATO, forget Ukraine; these days, he just couldn't see point blank Sweden and Finland: over a thousand kilometers of new border oh horror, horror. Someone did that in just two years and in this very real reality, not by pumping his fat cheeks. This is what Vlad as any proper thug understands and respects, his a$$ being kicked the harder, the quicker the message settles. Any "regular guy" with even a small part of working brain learns that right in his school years. These days, Vlad all but forgot about terrible NATO, like a total memory wipe, imagine? What miracle cure did it to thuggish Vlad, who delivered it? Today, he's OK with running away with a piece of Ukraine in consolation for him being such a hitleresque thug and a war criminal under international warrant. He's burning his cannon fodder in thousands and his stocks of rusting cold war era junk are shrinking by day. And guess who's eager - just couldn't wait wobbling feet, sweating and jumping, to save him from the pickle he put himself in squarely and single-handedly? Who are those thug-loving law-ignorant buddies? Well, at least no mysteries here. All in our plain sight.

When there aren't any good factual answers, would random rambling pass for a response?

The cult has a deep, fundamental problem with the notion of the law that applies to everyone, as in democracy. They think that it's a frill that can be used on whim or if needed and they should pick and choose what to do with it. This is a very simple idea that every totalitarian thug in the world understands and uses. Could that be the basis of the attraction? The natural connection?

Playing dumb or living it are really the only rational options for those with that kind of brain, you know. K-grade students normally can read. "And if you want to bring peace to this region, you need a negotiator whom Vladimir Putin respects" "And she certainly won't be able to sit in an audience with Vladimir Putin and promote an acceptable peace," JD Vance in Philadelphia Thug lovers. Just can't stop spilling their deep respect and admiration for totalitarian scum of the world. All sincere and genuine. The natural attraction?

An international arrest warrant was issued for alleged crimes against humanity: forced deportation of children against Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The stuff that Nazis were (in)famous for, in their time. This is the same "Vladimir Putin" as in "respect", "in the audience" according to Vance. Its in our face. We knew everything.

A blind can't see that they are blind. Dumb will not know. There's no automatic reflection here because (but the dumb wouldn't know) there are facts; and they aren't going anywhere. Someone is calling for the law to ignore the fat lying baby whatever tantrum he decides to throw; this can't be democracy. Someone can't wait to be in the audience of a war criminal under international arrest. So where do you hide all that, with what napkin? And the most interesting, nobody forced them to break any of this. In their own words, only and sincerely. Nothing we couldn't know.

Everyone with a normal brain knows the difference: - The law is for everyone: this is democracy. - The law is for everybody else except Him, Guru, the Idol: this is Maduro, Kim, Putin, etc. And for the dead brains it's only "spam". What's the difference? How could one know it? Anathema!!!

Another obvious point here is that if you ever hear the cult claiming support for the law and order it's either the most ridiculous joke or the most boldface lie ever concocted. They simply have no clue what the words mean. Right here, before our eyes: Putin, an international criminal thug under arrest warrant needs "respect" and "audience". Mob bosses, from now and till unknown eternity can claim themselves presidential contenders and demand cancellation of inquiries and prosecution. Where do you go, from here? How could it make any sense, in what world? Maybe one has to turn their brain for good to begin understanding such things? Beats me.

Someone melting down before each brutal "tough" thug and running away from any real engagement with them? Can it make even less sense? Thug lovers. Admirers tacit or even open of brutal, violent fascist thugs. And in their own words: nothing here we couldn't have known.

Dead brains pretend to have no clue about what makes the foundation of democracy. What can be added here? In their own words.

Thug lovers yes, I insist. Just couldn't hold their deep admiration for authoritarian thugs and no one even making them like in the Kim's zoo, all entirely voluntary and genuine. Our ancestors defeated fascist thugs in WWII. Free world led by Reagan and Thatcher defeated same communist thugs in the 1980s, only those looked a bit more civilized. And now we have this. What a pathetic travesty. But look, it's all objective and factual, in their own words. And right before our eyes.

And here we go, again the same tune. "And if you want to bring peace to this region, you need a negotiator whom Vladimir Putin respects" "And she certainly won't be able to sit in an audience with Vladimir Putin and promote an acceptable peace," JD Vance in Philadelphia Putin is Hitler today. He does all the same things. He is an international criminal with a warrant issued. Who was seeking respect of Hitler? Who couldn't wait to "sit in audience with him"? Our ancestors knew something but these folks, just seem to have totally, incurably clueless. What is "acceptable"? How is it different from lawful? Does the international law still exist and does it apply to everybody? What does the UN Charter say? We see the same recurring pattern here that shows us very clearly: these people just don't understand the concepts of democracy and law; but they are closer in their thinking to aggressive thugs of the worst kind. And they are making it very clear themselves, in and with their own words. What's even to add, here? Hitler needs acceptable "peace". And they are here to speak on his behalf.

Isn't it funny to observe this whistling and squirming desperate to escape a plain, obvious question: is the law there for everybody, or only as we like? Yes one is free to pick the answer, but it will determine the consequences and the destination. A funny zoo gathered here that just doesn't seem to either have the mental capacity to get it, or performing their best plays yet to pretend that they are too simple to get it. The law is for everyone: this is democracy. The law is for everybody else except me/us/Him: this is Maduro and Putin, etc. What isn't clear here? Who needs to learn it again? Where is the line between funny and dumb and boring?

This is a fine example of some folks having no clue what democracy is about; or pretending to be too dumb to have it. Either way, the options are: - the law exists for everybody, except our very own pathologically lying cute fat baby; OR: - the laws exists for everybody. We are sure free to pick and choose but it can only be one of the above. No mass of pretend dumbness; no lying tricks can change the reality.

Well, the precedent has been set and the Supreme Court today recognized what the consequence could be. Any mob boss can claim to be running for the president. Fact. Any convicted criminal who claimed to be running, could cry and call to have his convictions overturned and trials postponed. Fact. Wait, there's more: if they don't win they could claim the election "stolen" and call for discontent and riots indefinitely. Check. What is the answer here? Let's have it for our cute baby oh please and then it's the law for everybody else? Is that how justice works, where? In Venezuela? Could that be the basis and source of that strange attraction to dictator thugs around the globe? Similar kind of thinking, the law is that funny sheet of paper great words but doesn't really apply to me? What else, who would propose better ideas?

At least the Supreme Court understands possible consequences of this precedent: SC rejects the delay of Trump's sentencing. Mob's boss? Career criminal? Don't like your convictions? Run for the president of the United States of America! A ready script, right off the shelf. Here's how it can be untied in a more or less sane way: if the Republicans lose it; and, do some deep and much needful reflection on the consequences and responsibility; and, decide to participate, in good faith, in the renewal of democracy. The Congress could pass a non-partisan bill to prohibit convicted criminals to run for the president. The founding fathers couldn't dream in their deepest nightmares that some day someone would actually try.

What we see here a classical example of the "lying ostrich" argument. Obviously it never solved any real problems and very obviously, cannot. Zero chance of success in any number of attempts.

I honestly can't tell what could reset the precedent that was created. Him stepping down, perhaps and in a way, not completely but zero chance of that happening. The party publicly acknowledging and taking responsibility for the grotesque failure of trust and responsibility and then participating in good faith in creating a framework to prevent the erosion of democracy? OK, but what would be the chance of that? Short of this, it just isn't going anywhere. How can it?

Yep, the one an only answer. Try to ignore it and whistle away till it catches up. For some reason, some folks just love doing that no matter what.

No, the reality matters way more than what you think. And the reality will make the difference because unlike what we may think, it is always real. Only for an argument's sake, imagine that Trump could win and turned out to be, despite all facts and evidence the greatest leader ever since the times of the founders. And even in that case, it: the sh*t still wouldn't be going anywhere! If he the greatest blah could be convicted and still nominated why couldn't I? If he could look for extra votes when in trouble why not me? I claim to be the candidate, you have to stop all investigations now! Every thug, criminal and felon would take it right off the hanger and stencil, and it'll be this way forever. The new standard, new normal: what could be the problem? This is the kind of a precedent they just made. And haven't as much as given it a passing thought. Wow. Astounding. Could you really do that?

I'm only pointing to the facts here. People make choices and they have consequences. Choices come with consequences and there's no way to cancel them by ignoring or shrugging away. It's the obvious logical consequence that if this behavior and practice is not stopped and condemned now, it will become the new normal and new standard of politics. And there will be nothing to stop someone then from pushing it even further. Where further, from "stolen election" and "just find me votes"? We can think about that now; and if we don't we'll have to face the consequences. All fair and logical, only the honest accounting of the history and evolution. Nothing is guaranteed in life and history, generations learned it in painful trials and lessons. Do you want to forget it all now? You sure have the right, and the ability - but don't think for a moment that it could somehow relieve you of the consequences of the choices you make. You knew what you were choosing and you knew it perfectly well - to make sure of that is my only purpose here.

Ironically and very obviously, the more some insist that there's nothing wrong with it, that it's just acceptable and normal as anything for more normal and common it may become; if it isn't called and stopped by the society. Try to win by hook and by crook?Declare results you don't like "stolen"? Incite crowds and try to stop legal transition of power? Have your way, go right ahead it's all perfectly normal now. How can one not see that? It's a hand's reach to the third world from there. We can choose what we like one thing we can't do though is to wish away its logical and inevitable consequences.
