  1. Lol.  At this point if I am Hunter I am telling Weiss to piss off and dare him to indict me.  The right wing propaganda machine is discrediting him and the left was never going to go along with taking the hammer to Hunter.  The most he is gonna get is a hung jury (pun intended).  Hunter needs to tell him to fuck off and then start a legal fund GoFundMe by offering to let GQP donors watch him fuck their wives for 500k a pop.

    People in the United States are not detained pretrial because of pretrial publicity they generate, no matter how bad.

    That really would be a First Amendment violation.

    What happens in the United States is that a defendant runs his or her mouth, eventually gets a gag order from the judge, gets fined for violating it in increasing amounts, and maybe ultimately jailed for a short period, possibly repeatedly.

     

    The more I think about it, the more I believe Trump's strategy(??) is to eventually be thrown in jail pretrial.  This will feed his narrative that he is being treated "so unfairly" and that the judge is crooked and an Anti-trumper.  He will keep pushing the envelope and the judge will give him as much leash as possible, but eventually the judge will have her hand forced and she will have to react.  Then the howling from Trump and the right will kick into overdrive and Fox/NewsMax will eat it up and 30-45% of the country will believe it.   This will introduce a component of chaos into the election which Trump hopes will change the game.   It is idiotic, but kinda smart considering the 96% chance he is convicted if he just follows the rules.

    Because Dotard has been screaming that since 2015 and a lot of people are fucking morons. 

    Judge-  “Defendant.  You yelled fire in a crowded theater when you knew there was none.  This caused a stampede injuring dozens of people.  Do you have anything to say in your defense?”

    Defendant-  “Well your honor, by the end of the evening lots of people believed there was a fire so….”

    I don’t know about before Reagan. They supported much higher marginal tax rates before Reagan. Reagan introduced massive tax cuts for the rich, massive deficit spending, and massive peacetime debt. George HW Bush was the only Republican who exercised even modest fiscal responsibility and he got roasted for it after reneging on his promise: “Read my lips…no new taxes.” His dimwit son took a budget surplus and, rather than paying down the debt, gave more tax breaks disproportionally favoring the rich and spent like a drunken sailor on shore leave. Dick Cheney covered for him saying “Reagan proved defecits don’t matter.”

    I was just a kid but I remember seeing on tv how they had a “national debt clock” displayed on some building somewhere, presumably in NYC or D.C. I don’t recall. I remember seeing updates on the news and I remember when it crossed $1 Trillion for the first time and how that was a big deal. Googling for it I found this:

    ”When Ronald Reagan took office (…), the gross domestic debt, as a percentage of the nation’s annual income, had reached its lowest point since 1931: 32.5 percent. As the Republican presidential nominee, Reagan had often spoken out during the campaign against deficit spending. Once ensconced in the White House, however, he encouraged Congress to spend heavily on arms while also cutting taxes. As a result, during the eight Reagan years the national debt soared.”

    From everything I’ve been alive to see, it all started with Reagan. 

    I think we are saying the same thing.  My statement that pubs have not been serious people about debt/healthy budget management since before Reagan means that in my mind Reagan started it and it's been that way ever since.   Granted, I was not alive during Ford and Nixon but my sense is that they were more responsible with respect to the budget than Reagan/Bush 1/Bush 2/Trump.

     

     

  5. Pubs have not been serious about debt nor the economy since before Reagan.  Their only solution is to throw gas on the fire for a quick economic burst while they are in office and then let the Dems be the adults to clean up the mess afterwards... then take credit once the mess has been cleaned as best as possible.  There are very few on this board who were alive the last time a pub with serious economic polies meant to strengthen this country was in office.   But pubs have a super power....exploiting our lizard brain instincts  of fear and greed.  Dems can't compete against that cause their policies, which sometimes are also sometimes flawed when taken to extreme, appeal instead to cerebral concepts like fairness, compassion, etc.   Same as it ever was.

    We all need to realize it's full blown tribal politics now in America. Truth doesn't matter. Discourse and compromise are dead. War has been declared and the only thing that matter is beating your enemies and subjugating the opposition to your will. This is what we should be focused on doing to trumpets. Full scale banishment from civilized American society. Take away their jobs, take away their ability to get credit. Take away their social outlets. Treat them like the insurrectionists they are acting like. Force them back into the shadows of society where they hide and keep their mouths shut or else be persecuted. 

    74 million people voted for Trump in 2020 and there are around 330 million Americans. That's only 22 percent of America. The sooner the other 78 percent realize the only way to save the country is to gang up and marginalize the 22 percent the better chance America has of getting through this.

    One might think that trump writing “I am calling for a federal takeover” might be frowned upon by the god fearing, small gvt, fiscally responsible, Conservative Party that is the GOP. 

    There is a HUGE difference between liberal government regulation and conservative government takeover.

    West Virginia diversity is “What different pill do I want to take before I pass out in the Taco Bell drive thru this weekend? What flavor Mtn Dew should I order?”

    There is a bit of WV diversity

    You have to read between the lines. It’s all there, all Biden’s culpability and guiltiness, if you just squint, detach your brain stem, watch Fox News for 18 hours straight and drink some bleach first.
