Dang. I think the Republican Party has become totally inept at actually affective use of legislation for policy implementation. Unbelievably, they didn’t even formulate a policy platform in 2020. If all you can do is investigate political enemies, we don’t have a Constitutional democracy, it’s some sort of bastardized institutional junta.

So, you haven’t seen any of the footage or read any of the reporting of the dramatic uptick in violence against Asians since he I shall not name blamed them for Covid? No history ever taught you about the shameful treatment of the Chinese railroad workers in the 19th century? One other thing, none of the ethnicities you mention save African Americans ever been seen as less than 100% human by our Constitution.

You are conflating actions with opportunities. Bad logic.

Trump referred to DOJ for criminal prosecution by January 6 Committee
UT alum replied to Bobcat1's topic in Political Forum
Criminally, the work has been from the bottom up, as is usual. Now, they’re getting closer to the top. You all keep hollering about Democrats. It’s the law now that’s working,not the politicians. Fostering insurrection is a lesser charge than conspiracy, and not as difficult to prove. Still a crime, and a conviction would invoke the 14th amendment, and the sorry sob would be disqualified from ever serving the government in any capacity again. -

Who’s the straw man? DOJ is the only agency with authority to prosecute yo the fullest extent of the law. The Democrats don’t need to try anything ever. The political work is done. The criminal work is what I’ve been waiting for. -

Obstruction of justice, destruction of official government records, tampering with state election laws, fostering insurrection, for a start. I don’t know what else prosecutors will turn up. -

The committee concluded its work, drew its conclusions, and took a vote. Republicans do not take over the Justice department. Now, the law will take charge, not the Congress. -

I have not come to bat on criminal charges. The Democrats have had no luck with political charges because the Republican caucus is too far up Trump’s butt to give a flip about the constitution or anything else relative to effective political leadership. Let the law decide, not the elected officials. -

The left won’t be doing the prosecuting. Congressional investigations are not criminal proceedings. Trump will be held accountable for his perverted political proclivities in a court of law. -

A pass? How many years of investigation by a Republican controlled committee? A great big nothing burger. I was and am 100% behind every single Trump investigation. Criminal incompetence demands accountability. -

Benghazi. Shut up. -

I figure they didn’t need his testimony. Got plenty enough to refer to DOJ. THAT’S the subpoena I’m waiting for. The one that counts. -
Didn’t ask you.

Have you ever been a target of racism (not prejudice)?
-
Well, I read it. It says obesity and unhealthy food choices affect the poor in greater uh, proportion, but that systemic racism affects primarily availability and effectiveness of treatment for African Americans. Soon away, though. All the dollar stores around here are in primarily white neighborhoods.
-
Those percentages I cited reflect inequity. I would like to think no one was killed by cops, not 5000 proportionate to 1000. Nice try at manipulating what I was trying to point out (not).
-
Dayum. You sit in the store and monitor folks eating habits relative to their economic status? Sounds a little OCD. It’s salt, sugar, and fat. There is no racial component to that. Your fearless leader is example 1A.

Northerners who wanted to preserve slavery so that their manufacturing businesses would continue to receive cheap raw materials from the slave states. It wasn’t just a southern thing. It was and still is about preserving a certain social order.

Whatever. I’m talking the nation’s societal condition, not just Texas. Do you know who the Copperheads were?

On your foot. Nuance is lost on the bludgeon.

I am older, and retired. An anomaly, perhaps, but convicted of my beliefs nonetheless.
