You are saying this because you recognized Trump, (presumably) analyzed the circumstances surrounding his charges and personally determined he is unworthy of his many, many, many felony convictions.

You must acknowledge that you are exerting effort to absolve/excuse Trump for his crimes that you don’t normally exert for average felons. THAT IS MY POINT.

And Trump already isn’t facing any of the consequences that average felons face and he still has legions of cheerleaders. It’s frustrating to witness.

You’re literally posting in a thread of 40 pages of people blaming this kid for being bad and making bad choices, which is why he has a felony conviction while also saying Trump didn’t deserve his multiple felony convictions and didn’t make any bad choices and is a good man. Can you understand how this could be frustrating to observe?

Not nearly as frustrating as watching an individual mock and belittle people and then proceed to do the very thing she belittled and mocked others for doing.



Are you ready to admit you were wrong yet?

Or will you continue to do the thing you mocked others of doing by ignoring and refusing to respond when called out?

Of course. In her mind, a white man posting opinions online that she disagrees with is WORSE than "a certain demographic" committing MULTIPLE felonies. This is the logic of the left. It is a profound moral sickness.

Before you go any further. Enlighten us on how many times any of your systemic issues folks have had a DA run for office specifically on the promise to prosecute your "systemic issues" folks by name, for a crime usually reserved as a misdemeanor prosecuted as a felony, and then the governor of the state then tells the remaining constituents of the state to not worry about being tried like that?

Name one and you have the upper hand.

You made up an outlandish claim, attributed it to me and are now mocking me for the bullshite you invented. This is strong objective evidence of a mental illness or cognitive defect.

Did I invent it? All anyone has to do is look at the tone and language you use in this very thread. Compare how you speak about your probate vs. how you speak about the other users here.

Who gets your ire? Who gets your sympathy?

Wait, are you implying that a powerful and well-connected BILLIONAIRE could not secure attorneys that could provide an adequate defense or a fair trial, but you’re certain that the poor black guy in the OP did?

This must be why you can’t quote the nonsense you accuse me of saying. Because it’s totally fabricated.

You are addressing the wrong poster.
a) I'm not remotely a supporter of asymmetric absolution.
b) I have no idea as to comparatives between the people you are addressing, and DJT.
c) You are addressing "Trump for his crimes" in the same way you might have addressed Richard Jewell "for his crimes".
d) I have repeatedly cited the unrepentant unequal meting of justice as problematic in our system.

What are you doing?

Is it fabricated? You said the users here were "assholes". Could you quote one post you made in this thread where you referred to your multi-felon as an "a-hole" or worse?

Poor deflection. Try harder. Breathe deeply... clear your mind... and give it another shot.

If you need it simplified.... let me know. I'll dumb it down.

And if we're subjected to threads about every obscure tweet MAGA finds, y'all can handle this post.


I'm late to this thread, cubbies, but I'd like to engage in some constructive conversation.

I am WITH YOU on cheering for this promising student of yours. What is the point of this thread? Were you trying to find PT'ers who are cheering AGAINST your promising student? Why? Only a weird person would cheer against this student of yours.

GOOD FOR YOU for visiting this promising student in jail. I'm glad you will do that. This will help him a great deal - maybe not today or tomorrow but one day he will remember that you visited him when he was in jail AND so will Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I haven't read every post in this thread because I would not be interested in all of the posts that are bashing you and attacking you.

Of course, POTUS Trump has nothing to do with the situation involving your promising student. Your student is in a jam, and you can talk to his parole officer, attorney or case manager and ask them how you can help out this student of yours.

You can still be a positive influence on this student. Tell him that he took a step back but there's still a path to getting his GED and improving his life.

Yes, there are "systemic" issues, YES, the "system" itself it difficult to overcome and Yes the system could be more helpful with regard to the Cash Bail issue. (how to improve the cash bail system is a topic for another thread).

What's next for you and your student? Stop arguing with the whole PT board and let's get back to the most important thing here which is how you might be able to encourage and help this student.

Let's get this darn thread back on a constructive track 4cubbies. FOCUS.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You seem to be implying that well-connected and powerful billionaire couldn’t secure an adequate defense attorney to ensure a fair trial. Do you believe Donald Trump got a fair trial? Do you agree that he is a well-connected and powerful billionaire?

AYou refuse to address my claims and post actual deflection so I must assume that up can’t argue with my words which is why you just say “nuh uh” and run off.

Thanks. I’ve been reaching out to people I know who work in the jail to see if they can get me on his visitor list.

I started this thread out of frustration and disappointment. With everything. None of that frustration or disappointment has been alleviated by starting this thread. I should know better.

What has he done to warrant being called an a-hole? I haven’t seen him be rude or hateful.

Commit multiple felonies, which is objectively worse behavior than posting opinions online. How can online users be more worthy of "disdain" than a repeat felon?

Yes, with all due respect, your thread started out and seemed to me like somebody really frustrated and disappointed with the student's situation and the world's problems for people like your student. Seemed like you were lashing out and of course, lots of people lashed out BACK at you.

I didn't read all of the comments but lots of people will blame the student himself, and I think it is OK to place some blame on the student, but, I hope you can visit the student in jail and talk to him about how he can still try to get back on track even though this is a set-back. It would do him good to visit with you and let him know that you are still on his side and pulling for his future to get better.

He's in jail because he can't pay bail so he will be in there for how long, you think?

Nobody right now knows whether he can pull it together or not in the long run but I'll bet he feels good to know that you still want to help him get his GED.

As for the system itself - it advertises itself as a Rehabilitation Program and not a Revenge and Punishment Program, so, you can remind various government workers in the system itself of that, in a gentle way, in a non confrontational way.

So that's it? You are cut out of the contact until you get put on his Visitor's List? You could write him a letter and mail it to the jail.


This student has how many felony convictions? One? And it's a non violent offense maybe something like possession with an intent to distribute?

I'm just trying to get a feel for just how far off the path this person finds himself.

Him driving without a license had no affect on my life until nearly a year after that occurred. People being rude and hateful to me is a-hole behavior. Someone driving without a license while I’m asleep in my home doesn’t land the same way.

I guess you call Trump an a-hole for his 30+ felonies. To each his own.

I guess Trump is the worthiest of disdain using your metric of number of felonies = worthiness of disdain.
