If everyone who broke "The Law" was prosecuted and jailed, the table at your grandma's house at Christmas would be empty.

Then, if you have a prosecutor making up "New Crimes" simply to be punitive, is the "The New Law, still The Law"?

Just remember this. If Trump, and a former President, with frick You money, can be targeted and prosecuted with contrived crap, then so can you, your friends, and your family.

So, Trump is simply the visible peak of a much larger problem. Until people get serious about halting this abuse of power, more people will suffer, including some you may know well.

Trump was a big LEO supporter and wanted to be tough on criminals and this board ate it up.





You support the Police State, don't get surprised when the Police State comes for you or your favored pols.

The law wasn’t the law when Hillary (at BEST) negligently exposed government secrets on a private server.

Do you think the weaponization of the justice system to go after political opponents is a good thing?

Law enforcement is necessary and good to in a civilized society.

Rogue DAs who refuse to prosecute violent offenders and target political opponents who don’t even reside in their district anymore is not law enforcement.

If you can’t see the difference between the two, you need to go back to grade school.

You can’t see a difference between prosecuting rapists and murderers who prey upon society and using the legal system to go after your political enemies?

What about my post makes you think I think it's a good thing?

I just thought it was a bad thing before, during, and now, after Trump.

People are falsely accused of murder and rape all the time by the Police State. Where were your threads and outrage for them?

I don’t follow every criminal case in a nation of over 300 million people and certainly don’t start threads about every case.

There’s a world of difference between blind loyalty to a police state and wanting violent criminals prosecuted. You know this, but your TDS won’t allow you to make the distinction.

A difference in building a good law enforcement team and building a police state. Some people like Slowflow cannot see a difference

Just because the response isn't in your pre-programmed expected responses doesn't make it "obtuse"

Law is necessary for civilization.

But too much law kills the freedom required for civilization to thrive.

We have too much law at the moment and need rebalancing.

Read the book, Three Felonies a Day.

Exactly.

The Police State philosophy of too many laws is how you get stupid NY state laws about business record fraud that seem incomprehensible when actually applied to a factual scenario.

Or civil asset forfeiture (which Trump supported)

You're selectively picking one "easy" example to try to refute a discussion about systemic issues.

Hey guess what, I can do that too. You believe that criminal laws based in fraud are necessary, right?

If you're honest you will say "Yes". Then I ask, "so you support the law that NY is using against Trump, right?"

If your laws are written as such that the average man understands and there are few, but important laws that bind the population you live in under a rule of law.

We no longer live under a rule of law.
