Well, to be fair I also am worried about being prosecuted by a re-elected Trump’s unleashed DOJ. I mean, they keep talking about prosecuting everyone on the left.

Like...pro Project 2025 stuff or fantasies about actual liberal things (infrastructure week, etc)?

Except that is not exactly true. There were "concerns" about Biden's age for months so this round is not "new". There has been concern about Trump's fascist tendencies and every day he says something new. (Not to mention the Epstein stuff). Both are "new" but only one gets tons of coverage.

Is this the same video that was on Nebula, or different?

This is the first mainstream US news source I've seen report this. It has been all over reddit for days and I was wondering if it was possible to breakthrough. It seems pretty explosive to me.

I know you are joking, but the beauty of the court’s decision, is that they get to decide what is an official act, and what can be prosecuted. Want to make a guess on how they will decide on things Biden would do?

Oh yeah, I am just saying the ability to appeal is unrelated to that. Even on its own terms, Fallon’s position is absurd.

I am pretty sure you _could_ appeal your imprisonment in the gulag (but that fact might be more evidence of your guilt). Just like you can always appeal to the mercy of the king.

Years? we are a few months. What happens if Trump looses, doesn’t concede, and then holds an another “rally” in DC and another “march” on the Capitol. Does that seem impossible? Unlikely?

To be fair Europe settled one of its little “issues” by killing 6 million of them. So, maybe they are not the ones to talk.

Last Sunday, I lay down on the couch and appeared to be napping, but in fact was only resting my eyes.

Plus a lot of voters are just racists. Probably more than these people thought.

To my non-a-lawyer brain this seems like pretty clear example of witness tampering. So the important question is not “is the lazy news media looking into it”. the question is “is a prosecutor or AG looking into it”?

And all the guests start to complain about the guy to brained him. “I say good fellow, that was hardly called for. Bad form!”

I thought I was taking crazy pills when everyone was focusing on Trump claiming he never said “lock her up” when he also claimed he didn’t try! He did! We all talked about it!

Except that is the exact argument that Trump would use to run for a 3rd term to get around the constitutional ban on 3rd terms.

Sure, better to say something bad about Trump. But let me throw this back: who will care about this? Undecided libertarian voters? Do non-libertarians care?

“That is valuable” is it? Trump is the opposite of libertarian? Trump embodies the practiced meaning of libertarianism—FU; I’m a white guy and I got mine. That is why libertarians support him—because they are really reactionaries, just like “conservatives”.

Also…isn’t that obvious? I mean…that is what…like all people do? (Especially people in a privileged position)

Can it be Attempted Genocide? Aspirational Genocide? Would that clear the bar?

No, they constantly edited his words into a semblance of coherence. Maybe it was fun to do that.

We can all take solace in the fact that seeing with their own eyes will have zero effect on their belief once they leave.

Is this the start of the Butlerian Jihad? Probably a good thing in the long run.
