You don’t find the timing of this a tad curious?
The timing is not surprising at all. Congress tends to act when current events grab its attention. As I said several pages ago:
quote:

Did Trump‘s behavior give rise to this legislation? Of course.
And if Michelle Obama were on trial for murdering the sous chef, the GOP would have introduced identical legislation. That is DC.

A lot of posters are confusing the motivation (which is clearly partisan) with the applicability (which is general).

My initial point was that the OP was written in such a way is to make it appear that the legislation was written in order to apply only to Trump, which is patently false.

As the thread evolved, we started addressing the merits of the legislation itself. There are arguments both for and against continuing the protection of a convicted felon, regardless of whether we are discussing Donald Trump or Michelle Obama. Because we are discussing Donald Trump, a significant number of posters found themselves incapable of undertaking a rational discussio of those considerations. It is what it is

If Trump is elected Bennie is in danger of going to jail along with all of the J6 Committee members.

This is an effort by Bennie to kill Trump in order to save his own hide.

That was the point of the OP which you called disingenuous. Don’t back track now, Hank. You bit off more than you could chew on this one.

You aren’t educating anyone when you say it’s generally applicable. No shite. Don’t think people think the bill names Trump personally? That is a really really dumb thing to think. It might make you the dumbest poster in this thread.

The OP is correct. A bill was introduced to end Secret Service Protection for Trump. That is the intent of the bill. Just like New York retroactively changing SOL rules to get Trump. Sure some people got caught in the crossfire, but the purpose was to “get Trump”. You know this and have admitted it.

All of your bloviating in this thread has just proven once again what a disingenuous, obtuse poster you are who flames the board until he is once again banned. Rinse and repeat. You aren’t smart or special. You’re a dime a dozen.

Nobody thought that, you moron. Everyone realized it was the intent of the bill. Your inability to grasp that very simple fact does not speak well to your intelligence. You getting up there in years, Hank? Starting to slow down a bit?

One of the worst aspects of Lawfare will be the left throwing the right in jails to be abused by the animals.

Look at the January 6th trespassers.

The left is literally cheering the tactics of the Nazis and the Russian communists. It is so disgusting.

I look forward to the day when Bennie is in prison. Hopefully on made up, falsified charges. Let that bastard see how it feels.

But I would settle for him going to the gallows.

Literally not one person in this thread made any indication of believing that, outside of you. What a tremendous self own, Hank. You’re the most dim-witted poster in this thread. Only a complete moron would interpret the OP as you did.


ETA: just checked. No less than 5 people talking about who else this bill could get, Karma, and it coming back to bite them…..then Hank jumps in to “educate” us all because he is too dumb to understand the OP. just beautiful.

You are losing it. My first post indicated that I did NOT ‘believe that.”

Neither did anyone else. You created a strawman and made a fool of yourself. You should be used to it. I mean it’s clearly Hank, but this take was so completely dumb and moronic I had a bit of pause that maybe it isn’t Hank. It is. You’re just starting to slow down, I think.

There’s no doubt this is Hank. He’s just not clever enough to maintain an alter without being seen thru almost immediately. Yet, he keeps on trying.

Hank, I don't think you will find many that are confusing anything; however,

No, the OP quotes exactly from the newspaper story itself showing the specific motivation and the specific applicability.

The ensuing conversation is critical of the legislation because it is one in a series of acts that specifically target a former president, and more specifically target the soon to be nominee of a major political party.

The conversation didn't "turn". You posted about its general applicability which appears to be pretty moot to all the other discussion.

If the motivation is just how we may handle these situations in the future, then the proposed legislation would be grandfathered so that applied to future presidents. This would give them notice that their political opponents could seek to expose them to a loss of protection against a swarm of adversaries. Indeed, the bill sponsors even fear that this legislation will act as the deprivation of a vested right and have pre-emptively started arguing against this point in legislative announcements.

Instead, its just one in a series of acts where people aren't seeking public protection or order, but just trying to settle a petty squabble.
