I do understand that. I posted a hypothetical
every time.

I made it clear earlier that the case can't be analyzed without knowing what the actual allegations entail.
At this point we kinda have a clue about the DOJ behaves.

See this is why I stay out of making judgments. Even a brief hypothetical gives the avenue to try to drag me into the mud,

Im not trying to discourage you from posting here. I enjoy your posts. But if you posted to say you do t have anything g to say… you could have just not said anything

Decreasing the police state is not a to priority for Trumpkins. In fact, they want more criminal laws and harsher ones.


I think most people want to see the current laws on the books followed, and applied equally, not just to one side of the aisle. We’ve driven so far past that, it’s going to be quite some time before we even get a chance at reform.

Huh? Are you really going to argue the DOJ has been unbiased?

The way that bias (or even political/group bias) is being used by Trumpkins is the exact same way BLM uses it re: black people.

You can summarize it as follows: my in-group is being disproportionately prosecuted by out-group.

I can tell you this, the DOJ has put a hell of a lot more black people in jail since January 6 than Trumpkins.

But sometimes the mob is right.

Even if we are to assume this to be true, the combination of a mob + no actual plan is dangerous. When you add in hyper-partisanship, emotion, and/or a desire for vengeance? It gets scary.

Especially with the malleable definitions used to define ideas/groups and the purity tests that follow.

Lots of these idiots think you are part of their enemy group, too. Don't forget that. You're a cuck globalist for not honoring Daddy hard enough

Literally BLM stuff.

White people use drugs more than blak people, but black people are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement

See how that argument can shift so easily? You think Trumpkins will accept that version of the argument?

Hyper-partisanship doesn't go one way. In 2020, we had a ton of riots across the country making the same argument.

Unfortunately, these are hyper-partisan times. I guess it was bound to happen at one point. We’re seeing the rule of law being weaponized or out right ignored.

It doesn’t really matter if the population isn’t. The DOJ is. That’s the important part.

I see you can't comment on it with logic, yet.

Selective prosecution is the basis BLM uses to claim that black people are over prosecuted. They just use white supremacy as dog whistle terminology. But at the heart of their argument is selective prosecution.

I already commented on it with logic.

A false claim does not make all claims that are similarly structured false.

“Joe took my $5 bill.”
He did not.
This is a false claim.

“Jimmy took my $5 bill.”
Jimmy did in fact take the $5 bill in question.
This claim is not falsified by the false claim regarding Joe.

Let me know if you can follow that far.

Data does not back the claim.

Illicit Drug Use Disorder for Blacks runs 20% higher than Whites. Whites more than make up the difference with alcohol.

Joe is currently being investigated for online hate speech and Jimmy received $10 for turning him in

Sure. There is a qualitative difference in a DOJ that is politicized as it fights Congressional requests or fires holdovers from previous administrations and a DOJ that puts people in jail over political differences.

Now make a dumbass, half-baked claim that your lawyer buddies would roll their eyes at. I’m sure you have practice.

And when the claim is proven not to be false?

Like say when a jury determines guilt or liability (if we are including civil)?

Its still false for... reasons?
