Devils Affricate posted:Sure, but there's a big difference between refusing to answer, and not giving the answers the judge wants. Even in situations where "I do not recall" is obviously bullshit, it's still technically an answer, and when it really comes down to it you can't definitively prove what is or isn't inside someone's head. The best we can really hope for is that they'll break under pressure. That's how I've always thought of it too. Nobody breaks down in court and just confesses to their crimes or lets slip poo poo unless they are a lunatic. What would realistically happen with some human garbage like Manafort when the court pulls him in to testify: -Judge: "Mr. Manafort is it true you sucked the smegma from out of Donald J. Trumps foreskin? I'll remind you that you cannot plead the fifth." :manafort's lawyer whispers in his ear: -Manafort: "I'm aware that Mr. Trumps foreskin was sucked dry of smegma like a vacuum but I cannot recall the date and time nor who slurped the delicious dick cheese."

Some I hope to tear up and I hope we don't give a poo poo about them. If the Dems win in Georgia I hope the Senate fries the filibuster so they can push through legislation. Use the VP to neutralize a lot of McConnell's power if they do not get Georgia. I just find the President using the Justice department to let his allies get off or to punish his enemies is one norm that needs to go back in place quickly. Hopefully we can remove the urge to do so by having anyone who broke this norm executed for treason. That would be fun.

just a general question for someone who knows: doesn't the spending bill trump just veted still include that thing about not having anonymous shell companies any more and isn't that the real reason he's vetoing it?

This is true and is entirely possible. Or, he doesn't understand what any of that poo poo means, and he just wants to lash out at Mitch and the other GOP senators for not supporting his coup. With Trump, the dumber, more base option is usually the right one.

I know the real reasons why people voted Donald Trump for president, but at the same time, I can't loving understand why anyone would vote for Donald Trunp for President. He's not smart, he's not traditionally masculine, he isn't devout,, he has no good character traits, he looks like a clown, he ran as a loving democrat like 15 years ago so he's clearly not principled, I just...don't understand. It's actually impressive that he one-upped Bush's presidency to be totally honest, he hosed the US up big time. Lol

Lol just want to shake these people. Trump doesn’t give two shits about you and he’s trying to burn down democracy as best he can (it will fail, but not for lack of effort in his part) and you’re treating him as if he’s some victim. It’s mind blowing.

Legitimate question, has there ever been a precedent of someone receiving a pardon and then somehow getting boned on not being able to plea the fifth? To me it just sounds like another this time the system will work before nothing happening for the millionth time.

Response to point 1: They committed crimes. They used their positions in government to steal public money from the government. Ivanka and Jared shouldn't have even been involved in the administration in any capacity in the first place, so... yeah, that's a self-own on their part. Response to point 2: What he calls "normal" religious people have really showed that everything they claim to value, and indeed everything they rigidly demand from the rest of us peons, is ultimately fungible. I'd say the only real and consistent value they seem to have is being anti-abortion, but even that's marred by hypocrisy because of the way they stood by while Trump forcibly removed children from their parents and imprisoned them separately - and in some cases placed them for adoption without their parents' consent! These people love hypothetical - and in the case of QAnon, FICTIONAL - children, but when it comes to real children, they have displayed a type of callousness and cruelty that makes it impossible to take their concerns about the well-being of "the unborn" seriously. Religious people being revealed as hypocrites is a trope and a cliche, but the entire American religious-conservative complex just demonstrated that it's true on a massive scale that cannot realistically be denied. GRAB 'EM BY THE PUSSY, RAW-DOG A PORNSTAR, CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE, BUT NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE, AND DEFINITELY DO NEVER BE GAY!!!!

free hubcaps posted:if trump's attempts to reform US libel/defamation laws due to his extremely thin skin had gone through I'd be way more optimistic about republicans actually facing consequences for their seditious bullshit, oddly enough.   Only the Trump campaign has the funds to settle out of court. Think they'll be magnanimous enough to cover Rudy and Sidney? cracker posted:Legitimate question, has there ever been a precedent of someone receiving a pardon and then somehow getting boned on not being able to plea the fifth? To me it just sounds like another this time the system will work before nothing happening for the millionth time. Nope. Also, nothing so brazen as what Trump has done (so far), though. Ford pardoned Nixon pretty broadly, but that was a "gently caress it, let's just get him out of here!" move. I doubt Nixon would have resigned without it being promised. George H.W. Bush pardoned a bunch of Iran/Contra people. That's probably closest to Trump in that it was organized crime, but many people would classify it as different and under the umbrella of "national security." (Was it really, though?) Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich - that was the most blatantly inappropriate pardon, in that it was basically done for a bribe. Still, history may look at the Iran/Contra pardon as worse/more consequential. George W. Bush commuted Scooter Libby's sentence as soon as he was convicted. This was pretty hosed up. And that was a compromise, Cheney wanted him pardoned. So far Trump has pardoned people for being Fox News celebrities (Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D'Souza), pardoned war criminals that the military did not want pardoned, pardoned personal friends and campaign workers with ties to international organized crime, pardoned two convicted Republican congressmen just because they supported him, and pardoned people related to him (Kushner's dad). He pardoned Joe Arpaio before he served his sentenced, and he commuted Roger Stone's sentence before he served it (and then just now pardoned him in the end). So at this point, the only things Trump hasn't done is obviously pardon someone in exchange for campaign funds (like Clinton), and issue a blanket pardon that preemptively covers "all crimes" from such-and-such date to another date (Ford to Nixon). We know that the FBI is investigating someone who attempted to exchange a bribe for a pardon, and I'm going to guess they stopped it before Trump was able to go through with it. As for the blanket "all crimes between X and Y" or whatever, that's probably coming for Jared and Ivanka at the very least, if not others.  SO - Trump is super dirty and VERY PROLIFIC with his corrupt pardons.

T_D saying that hostility to normal, religious people is... interesting. Do they mean their idea of who the normally religious person is? Or do they mean normal people and religious people? Cause if there's one thing that's become very clear, it's that normal society hates Trump and wants nothing to do with him. That's the point of all their cultural grievance, that right wing beliefs are becoming increasingly deviant. It's why they embrace the idea that they're a counter-culture and the new punk, the new rebels. That they're the most annoying and reprehensible parts of society doesn't escape them, a big part of that website is coping with ostracization. It's where their fear comes from, that people are sick of them and they all know it. It's why Trump is their avatar, he has no respectable friends or contacts and he's a huge rear end in a top hat all the time, but people are forced to deal with him, and they like the idea that they get to force other people to deal with them rather than accept they're being annoying, reprehensible, and society is really sick of them. If Trump can be kicked out(he was) and face consequences(he theoretically can, and NY is going hard), so can they. And it's a lot easier to live in a reality where everyone is forced to deal with you than change yourself to become someone who isn't shunned.
