    If you guys are worried about targeted prosecutions, why are you worried about the potential ones and not the ones currently happening?

          You know prosecuting a criminal for committing crimes isn’t a targeted prosecution right? It’s just how the criminal justice system always works.

          In other words it’s just a regular prosecution.

          But as you just said cults are gonna cult right? And I know Big Daddy Trump is up there telling you how to think. So keep on culting you beautiful snowflake.

            The audacity of a redcap telling anyone else “cults gonna cult.” One of the most insane cases of projection I’ve ever seen.

            As a person that is not going to vote for trump, I am the one that is not in a cult. And as a person that knows real estate very well, I fully understand what happened with the new york real estate case and how much bullshit it is. The problem is that you are beholden to your side and you dont see what is happening. I really do want you guys to see what is happening, but you are blinded by ideology, and its literally destorying they country.

              Because Trump is being prosecuted for crimes? Your first comment was about targeted prosecutions. Trump is not being targeted, if anything he’s been given more leeway than 99% of the criminals in this country.

              So, within the context of your first comment I find this comment disingenuous. In other words I think you’re full of shit.

                I directly mentioned the New York case about trumps real estate as something I am very knowledgable about, but sure I am super vague… Have you ever talked to someone in a cult? That is the reason I dont typically go deep.

                  Cool, and what specifically did you say about the New York case about how it is a problem? Did you share any of that knowledge?

                  I saw your post and thought “Interesting, maybe there is an angle on the New York case I am unaware of”, but you failed to actually say anything other than your displeasure.

                    Ignore this idiot. He has no critical thinking skills and is so far up his own ass you’ll eventually give up and he’ll just think he won another internet argument.

                    The entire case is nonsense. To be specific, he didnt do anything wrong and it was exactly what every other serious investor does, and its not fraud, its literally just advocating your position. I can expand on this if you wish, but I dont write gigantic comments because they become unreadable and wastes everyones time.

        The most important would be the discrepency in treatment between the Jan 6th people and the George Floyd riot people. Also I think almost all of the trump cases are just targeted prosecution.

          Well, yeah, of course they’re targeting him. He’s the one who’s committed all the crimes. That’s generally who we prosecute in this country. The criminals. Ideally.

            That is the same boring line you guys all use. If you dont know what is happening then you should probably watch different media sources. “OH YOU MEAN LIKE ALEX JONES!!!” No, like ones that are not influenced directly by corporations and government.

              We’ve literally watched him commit these crimes on live fucking television. And we watched his criminally negligent handling of the Covid pandemic over the course of months. He should be in the Hague for that alone. Fuck off.

          Why would the federal government do anything about BLM? They didn’t break into the capitol to smear feces on the walls.

          Could you clarify? Do you want us to be mad that individual state legislatures are acting differently than the federal government, or is it that you want us to be mad that the federal government isn’t doing an overreach and prosecuting protestors outside its jurisdiction?

            They would target BLM because they were an organized group that attacked many federal buildings and officers. They much worse than smear feces on teh walls, which is exactly my point.

            I dont know what you want me to clarify, Trump is getting attacked by the government in a variety of states and jurisdictions, and almost all of it is bullshit.

                  No, it’s hard to “remember” delusions you were having from being fear addicted and watching propaganda.

                  “Around the country.” Again, whatever it was you were imagining is not within the jurisdiction of the federal government. The insurrection led by Donald on January 6 is within the jurisdiction of the federal government. What do you want to happen?

                    They were directly attacking federal government buildings. In Portland it literally happened for over a month every night. But I can tell at this point you dont actually care about an honest discussion, so have a great day!
