Wait, so "free speech" covers statements that are objectively false...as long as the speaker genuinely believes them? Well THAT'S not a recipe for disaster or anything.
More and more glad that my country does NOT have Constitutionally protected free speech.
Yes it does. Heck, free speech even covers statements when the speaker DOESN'T believe them.
It's when they push such speech into the territory of inciting or taking action, no matter the intent behind it, that free speech stops being an excuse. Can't be free speech when you're actually out to stop on so many of the rights of others.
If it’s now illegal to claim an election is stolen, why is Kari Lake still walking around free to freeload at Mar-a-Lago? She hasn’t shut the fuck up about her claims the election has been stolen since last November.
"Even worse is this line from the WSJ’s editorial: “There is no evidence tying Mr. Trump to the Oath Keepers or Proud Boys who planned to, and did, breach the U.S. Capitol that day. That was the worst offense against democracy, and more than 1,000 people have been prosecuted in connection with it.”"
Oh Stone won't flip. He's a true believer and like Bannon thinks that he can have street cred by admitting to his terrible behavior. We can all hope he ends up in jail for the rest of his life as he deserves.
All the jailbirds step aside, and mutter to one another, when they first get a glimpse of Roger Stone's enormous back tattoo of Richard Milhouse Nixon. Soon, the murmurs are stilled-- as the enormity, the moment, sinks in. "Nixon, man... Nixon."
"Trump’s coup was a sinister plot to overthrow the government and employ violence if necessary (and it would’ve been) to remain in power against the public will."
Never forget that from the beginning of Trumpism in 2015, encouraging others to be violent on his behalf has always been one of Trump's go to moves. Remember how he promised to pay the legal bills of his audience if they beat up those who were against him? Who he talked about there being "fine people" on both sides when his side had just killed a woman? How when he told his "fine people" to "stand back and stand by," suddenly all the violence stopped. Well, stopped until Trump announced his "wild time" on January 6.
I say damn well prosecute refusing to concede an election as outside "free speech". The bigger picture, be so petty that in 100 years people who would never have heard of Drumpf are forced to say that he got fewer votes than Hilary before they can vote.

So former presidents cannot be held liable for anything they do, say, plot, incite, steal, coerce, actively cause, inflame, trigger, ignite, instigate, etc. ad nauseum by dint of the fact that any righteous prosecution of would be inherently political and therefore invalid. Got it. Let them remember that the next time a Democratic president so much as sneezes. It’s good to be king … er … president. 🤬
willful misunderstanding of the indictment is their only defence

I saw something earlier today that said von Fuckstick had to go to court Thursday for bail setting. Is that correct?
yes

"Pantsuit Nation didn’t bludgeon cops and threaten to hang Joe Biden if he didn’t make Clinton president. "
I'm sorry, I cracked up when this sentence jumped out of nowhere!

<cough> Roger Stone <cough>
Think he'll flip? I don't. He's definitely the cut out there, but he's not going to say anything.
Oh Stone won't flip. He's a true believer and like Bannon thinks that he can have street cred by admitting to his terrible behavior. We can all hope he ends up in jail for the rest of his life as he deserves.
He's already been to prison. He's already been pardoned. All because he won't flip.
Since he's the only one that would allow prosecutors to make the case, I don't think that case is going to be made.

Talk about shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.

"You can apparently get a JD from a bubblegum machine if properly motivated."
Why didn't anyone tell me that before I had to spend thousands and thousands of dollars?????
You have to be a criminal attorney first.
