"If the government can prove this aspect of the case, it will be exceptionally difficult for the former president to mount a defense," Paul Collins said.
Yep, this is sooo stupid. They will not jail a former president, even the Dems in power now wouldn’t want that, as much as they’re against the red team they’re all in the elite team and arresting one of their own and jailing them would mean the rest are vulnerable. Shits not going to happen.
You do not want a civil war in this country, the majority of the military is made up of one side, and the majority of firearms are also held by one side. It would not turn out like a vast majority of liberals think.
Edit: someone has pointed out that this sounds like I’m part of the right wing group, but I’m pointing out moreso that the majority of the military and gun owners in this country are conservatives. Not trying to make some statement of who would win, but pointing out that it wouldn’t be pretty at all.
They’re saying we should not want or hope for any kind of civil war of any kind; meaning not limited to Trump, any triggers in the future.
The military itself does not often or have to align up with the majority or to the ethnics that we believe they should abide to.
In other words, a civil war does not guarantee anything; it can backfire horribly wrong on anyone thinking that it would spur some kind of a positive thing. It can just as well turn US into a Nazi-state easily for an example.
Yep, thanks for clarifying it. I hear it from a lot of liberals and even from Biden acting like a civil war would be easily won by the “good guys” side. It doesn’t work like that at all.
Where did I say it would? I was pointing out the fact that the majority of the military are not liberal leaning people.
Get your head out of the sand, a civil war in this country would not go well for one side. FFS you’re neighbors with people you actively hate because of their political beliefs…do you think a bomb isn’t going to level your home as well when those start falling?
PS, I’m a liberal, I just am not a delusional one, and I am a strong 2A supporter. So you can fuck off with the right wing shit.
Calm down there man. I am not a right winger, and apparently I mistakenly took your comment out of context. The overwhelmingly majority of the time online that I see someone saying the military is one sided, they are referring to it being for the right. The structure of your sentence makes it sound like a caution or possibly a threat that the military will back the right. Based on the downvotes you’re getting, I apparently am not the only taking it this way.
I absolutely agree a civil war would be devastating, but I don’t see it happening. My take is once Trump is convicted the media will finally feel they have the freedom to make their separation they’ve been saying they wanted to do in private for years, but have been too scared to make.
All good, sorry for the hostility, anytime I try and speak logic in political threads I end up getting called a Nazi or right wing or something. I don’t see trump getting convicted. As much as the dem elites hate him, he’s still part of the elite club and they can’t be prosecuting their own.
My fear is that it’s one of those situations where the system won’t want to admit that it’s so weak and flawed that it almost let a racist cretin overthrow our government.
Unfortunately that’s the more likely outcome here. No sitting or former president has ever done time. Grant being the exception for speeding in a wagon, and even that is doubtable and doesn’t have much to back it up as factual.
Oh yeah - you’re talking about that cabal of elites who prey on small children in the basement of a pizza restaurant right (it sounds stupid when he said it and it sounds stupid when you said it).
Talk to a lawyer and ask how long you can prolong a parking ticket if you happen to have a few million in the bank - let alone one of the most complicated conspiracies of lying to the federal govt the country has ever seen.

The military is not going to revolt against the US for Trump if he is convicted. Get off this right wing fantasy. It will never happen.
That’s not what they said, context matters.

I am a gun owning liberal who is against the NRA.

He knows everything, this one!
Very enlightening comment, you got any more Socrates?
No, Adolf, not after I looked over your recent comments.
My fear is that it’s one of those situations where the system won’t want to admit that it’s so weak and flawed that it almost let a racist cretin overthrow our government.

When you’re so cynical that you can’t seriously process reality anymore.
Oh yeah - you’re talking about that cabal of elites who prey on small children in the basement of a pizza restaurant right (it sounds stupid when he said it and it sounds stupid when you said it).
