Most industrialized countries have adopted the presumption of innocence. Ocelot II Nov 24 #94

so why did Biden's admin never charge him for a coup? cadoman Nov 23 #85

I would say the DOJ. They are the nation's prosecutors. Garland was Biden's worst appointee. brush Nov 23 #86

Jan 6 committee actually delayed sharing the product of their hearings until late fall after they adjourned. bigtree Nov 24 #133

You can say that again. NT mahatmakanejeeves Nov 23 #52

I was replying to different posters. Not the same poster over and over. brush Nov 23 #45

This has nothing to do with the article. Lunabell Nov 23 #12

I'm always lol'ing at responses in these threads bigtree Nov 23 #73

LOL, he failed to posecute and jail the criminal who tried to overthrow the government. Get a clue. brush Nov 23 #74

Trump was never jailed, staged a coup and is now president-elect. How does that happen? No other nation would allow it. brush Nov 23 #11

And you're the perennial Garland supporter here. brush Nov 23 #19

really damning supporting the man who prosecuted over 12k white supremacist Trump supporters bigtree Nov 23 #24

And blah, blah, blah. Garland failed to prosecute the man who staged a coup. brush Nov 23 #41

judges, justices, and voters stopped an actual prosecution in progress bigtree Nov 23 #62

It's hardly "supporting" Garland to point out that the author cites no actual evidence Ocelot II Nov 23 #54

The post is supposed to make one think why the criminal was never prosecuted or jailed and is now president again. brush Nov 23 #55

He *is* being prosecuted and those prosecutions are still alive, for now. Ocelot II Nov 23 #56

We have to agree to disagreed. Garland should've moved first thing to prosecute, not waiting two years to appoint... brush Nov 23 #58

I'm not arguing that he didn't move quickly enough. Ocelot II Nov 23 #61

He *hasn't* gone un-prosecuted! He was tried and convicted of 34 felonies Ocelot II Nov 23 #66

Not for the elephant in the room...staging a coup and dereliction of duty to defend the Constitution and nation. brush Nov 23 #68

Again, he *is* being prosecuted for those crimes. That's Jack Smith's case. Ocelot II Nov 23 #70

You really think that's gonna happen? trump's new AG will make them go away. Pam Bondi, the one who took the bribes... brush Nov 23 #71

That is for his refusal to return the records. TheKentuckian Nov 25 #134

She claims that the Biden administration is part of a master plan to quash democracy and usher in an autocratic state. LudwigPastorius Nov 23 #17

that's exactly right. She's a troll who bashes Democrats and Pres. Biden in the post linked-to bigtree Nov 23 #21

I don't agree with the Biden admin being part of it, but other things in it makes you wonder. The orange turd is... brush Nov 23 #39

There you go again, comparing what I wrote to the blog's. words. Do you not get it, I keep telling you... brush Nov 24 #129

Her "general premise" is not "it isn't kosher that the the orange turd should be allowed to go unpunished " muriel_volestrangler Nov 24 #130

Joe Biden is not part of any such thing. WTHH, people. Joinfortmill Nov 24 #90

Garland & Smith were upended by corrupt judges like loose Cannon and SCOTUS Takket Nov 23 #25

Absolute guess here, but I think bullet ballots are from neo-Nazi voters. GreenWave Nov 23 #28

That article is things they never taught you in polisci. bucolic_frolic Nov 23 #44

"Not saying it's all true......" SCantiGOP Nov 23 #46

Everything posted here is proven to be absolutely true? Hah. Speculation is posted here everyday. brush Nov 23 #50

You are intentionally spreading misinformation. tritsofme Nov 24 #117

That's you opinion, not mine. See post 113. Are critical thinking skills leaving us? brush Nov 24 #119

I would definitely agree with that. I can't imagine anyone who possesses even the most basic critical thinking skills tritsofme Nov 24 #120

You didn't read 113 did you? Read it and try to keep an open mind. brush Nov 24 #121

Oh I did, it was just what I expected it to be. Please stop spreading disinformation and ridiculous conspiracy theories tritsofme Nov 24 #122

If i ever see the words "bullet" and "ballot" together again, i swear to god.. ColinC Nov 23 #76

I mean, it's easy enough to nod in agreement LearnedHand Nov 23 #80

IMO the OP is an effort encourage critical thinking, not to nod in agreement... brush Nov 23 #82

Yup, and critical thinking 101 is to withhold judgment in the absence of hard evidence LearnedHand Nov 23 #83

Agreed. It's not to believe it as whole cloth. We should use our own thinking skills. brush Nov 24 #87

I have no clue whether the claims are true, but not having evidence is perhaps because no investigation has been done. Lonestarblue Nov 24 #93

She has a serious resume, but her writing seems very kooky Joinfortmill Nov 24 #88

Probably the most chilling thing I have read in a long time. flying_wahini Nov 24 #98

Bullshit tends to be warm, especially if it's straight from the source, Ocelot II Nov 24 #104

most conspiracy fiction reads like that bigtree Nov 24 #111

Why post such an anti-Democrat OP here? muriel_volestrangler Nov 24 #105

IMO it's not anti-Democratic. See post 113 for my feelings. BTW, I'm starting wonder about critical thinking skills... brush Nov 24 #118

I think it would be excellent if you think about critical thinking skills muriel_volestrangler Nov 24 #124

Sometimes you have to have a little faith in the process. 😎 walkingman Nov 24 #115
