So you have a problem throwing certain criminals in jail when they commit crimes?

I’m saying there are other ways to punish people other than putting them in jail for political points.

They committed real crimes. Not political crimes. Just crimes. How should they be punished? And no one gets political points for tossing some proud boy or dipshit realtor in fucking prison. You do it because they committed crimes and you deter future crime by punishing criminals. 
 

how should criminals be punished if not by the sentencing laws for the crime they committed?

What punishment would you mete out on these convicted criminals if not jail time? Probation? Fines?

No one is doing anything for political points as it pertains to Jan 6. They're doing it for "preserve our society" points. All the same for why we put murderers, rapists, and sexual  predators behind bars - because, as it turns out, they too are bad for society.

C'mon man...

The only thing he sees as "serious" about 1/6 is his serious sadness that it didn't succeed. Roughly 1/4 to 1/3rd of this country is proudly fascist. He's very clearly in that group.

If by “democrats” you mean the state courts in NY, which are not federal courts at all, I don’t know what to tell you. Do you understand the difference between state and federal law and jurisdiction? 
 

the same civil laws that suspended the statute of limitations for the e Jean Carrol case also made democratic governor Andrew Coumo open to suit. And he’s being sued. That’s not partisan.

Law enforcement authorities have prosecuted people that committed crimes.  That is a fact.

After the due process that everyone gets in this country, for better or worse, and then some, they have been convicted.  And that means, by most American standards, that they are guilty of having committed crimes.  Those are facts.

Their motives in successfully prosecuting these criminals are unknowable.  So, their motives are then a matter of belief or opinion.

But, again, they are guilty of crimes by the standard American measure.  So, what difference does it make?

And, as a second matter, if there was pressure from Joe Biden or George Soros or whatever Democratic boogeyman you choose applied to the prosecutors that actually obtained the convictions, you'd think there would be some EVIDENCE of that.  Just like there is EVIDENCE that Trump tried to get Sessions and Barr to prosecute his enemies, and they apparently declined to do so.

Hint, the answer to this question requires evidence.  Not opinion.  Not speculation.  Not some dipshit from Fox, Newsmax, RSBN, or some YouTube channel that told you, but something that constitutes evidence, that tends to prove that a fact is more or less likely.

Trump defends himself by saying "lock her up" and calling for legal prosecution of his enemies and critics.  No one else does that.

We have had 45 other Presidents in almost 240 years of history and, never in that recorded history has a President or candidate publicly called for the prosecution of his enemies.

Of course they have. Because laws were very obviously broken. They couldn’t just ignore January 6th. The country is pretty used to, unfortunately numb to, protests that occasionally turn into riots in cities. But when it results in the doors of congress being breached? If the dems did that in 2016 after Trump won, you wouldn’t want the law applied to the rioters? Trump deserved to be impeached for threatening to cut off military aid to Ukraine if they didn’t find him political dirt. He deserved to be investigated and charged for refusing to return classified documents. The felonies that actually stuck in NY were likely child’s play (ugh) compared to what he got away with on Epstein’s island… it’s not just a political witch hunt. He has no respect for the law that applies to the rest of us.

It’s obvious that jailing political opponents is a hot button issue for you, that’s fine - we all have our thing.

I assume you voted for Trump in 2016, correct? Why were you not outraged at “Lock her up” being the official tagline of his campaign? At that point you had no evidence of what he would or wouldn’t do, so surely you were disgusted at that blatant threat of political imprisonment - correct?

So because he was a president, he shouldn’t go to jail for crimes he committed? Assuming he’s found guilty of them? The tax fraud in New York, where he was found guilty of defrauding a kids cancer charity years ago. Now tax evasion. 
 

the documents case in FL, which is borderline treason if not outright. 
 

the audio we’ve all heard of him pressuring GA don’t officials to “find him votes” and overturn the will of the people. If any of those are true, he shouldn’t be held accountable for those crimes? 
 

Would you be happy if a democratic president or former president wasn’t prosecuted for the same crimes?

And, an insight on prosecutors.  They like to prosecute cases they can win and they like high-profile wins.  Politics by and large go out the window when they can bring and win a high-profile case, whether the profile is that of the defendant or that of the crime.

And, also, as indicated above, prosecutors tend to get pretty self-righteous about the crimes they prosecute.  Whatever crime they're prosecuting at the moment, you can be relatively certain that the prosecutor believes it is a grave offense against humanity and the Gods are on his or her side.

[4th&Five 41506]

I’m just shocked that there’s someone left that thinks Trump is a business man. 

[Dbeasy 15040]

Given that Trump tried to implement a coup, has stolen mountains of top secret information to sell for personal benefit and is a traitor to the US, has sexually assaulted multiple women, and committed countless other illegal acts, it’s surprising to me that you have a warped viewpoint that he shouldn’t be arrested and tried for these crimes. Very bizarre. Do you not understand he committed many crimes?
