He’s doing exactly what you would expect. A court result = truth. But that’s just because he’s a fig.

have always been given wide lattitude in
these kind of situations, unless they are impeding law enforcement. . If this guy was such a threat, why wasn’t he arrested on the spot, instead of three years later?

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.

Good thing that only happens for MAGA folks. I guess that explains the selectivity of DOJ. This post was edited on 3/1/24 at 2:46 pm

He does not like to argue honestly sometimes so he can be malleable pull the rug out when he's cornered.

You're the one who gave the silly analogy. I'm just trying to fit it into your analogy

I think most of it is manufactured and the majority of the population is not.

Why does it only flow one way?
quote:

I mean that's a very specific incident. Kind of like how Al Quaeda dominated DOJ resources for a time in the early 2000s, for obvious reasons.
Large scale incidents within federal purview are not that common. They're going to require an insanely disproportionate amount of resources.

Selective prosecution or not, factless, disprovable claims do not equate to verifiable, factual ones.

No they're included.

Sure, but we're not talking about "factless, disprovable" claims/prosecutions. That's the problem.
Even if you're claiming "selective prosecution". The implication there is both groups are guilty, but only one was prosecuted. That scenario doesn't deal with one guilty group and one innocent group.
That brings me back to a point I made yesterday. A major internal issue (that I wager our friend from Missouri has issues with) is the understanding that it's not only the out group committing the crimes. The net is so large in the US today that we're all committing crimes. Once you accept that, the larger picture should unfold.

That depends on the source and analysis of that data.
Like this Vox article.
quote:
African Americans are hit much harder than any other racial or ethnic group by the war on drugs, even when there's no evidence of significantly higher drug usage or sales. The most obvious disparity appears between white and black Americans: Both groups use and sell, according to some studies, illicit drugs at similar rates, but black people are roughly 2.6 times as likely to get arrested for drug crimes.

In/out groups engage in similar behavior, but the prosecutions selectively target one group disproportionately.
Even with your stats, it doesn't match with the disproportionate drug arrests by race, so it still works.
