Interesting point made in the article about Fox Newz and it's counter-programming of the trial and the fact that MSNBC trounced Fox in the ratings. There was recently a thread on OPP highlighting the fact that Fox News is always kicking ass in the ratings. Maybe Fox took their bias a little too far this time. ;)

What trial?

It depends on which investigation you are referring to. One criminal charge that the New York Southern District is prepared to charge him on, is falsifying records. Falsifying records IS a crime. Trump is still trying to hide his records to the point of contempt, swearing that he can't find them (yeah really good businessman - can't find his records) OR his phones But despite his contempt, investigators were still able to find enough of this records to find evidence that they have been falsified. Or more specifically, the information in the records were falsified.

The J****** 6th trial is a little different because there is no precedent. No previous president has ever tried to overturn the e******n results... Nor has there ever been an attack by a president's followers on our Capitol. So it's new territory. People with a sense of decency KNOW these things are wrong without needing a precise description of the crime. The founders were probably thinking the same thing when they coined the term "high crimes" as a catch-all for any of the bad things a person of such elevated power can do.


The "mad mob" are the buffoons that attacked the Capitol, beat people up, including police officers and threatened to hang the vice president and d**g the Speaker of the House out by her hair so they can put a bullet in her head. That's what a mad mob is. If you are referring to the 58% of Americans that want justice served, you can just call them decent Americans.

And no, they are not looking for "anything". It may look that way to you because there is so much discussion about so many different things that Trump did... The problem is that he committed so many t***sgressions that it's become a matter of which ones to focus on. I think the committee is pretty well focused however on the issue of trying to overturn a valid e******n. The investigations have exposed so much crap that Trumps inner-circle is falling apart with his cabinet and even his family members admitting that there was no evidence to support Trump's claim that the e******n was s****n. These are not the type of things one would see if the president was innocent.


I don't think the DOJ thinks the Constitution is problematic at all. If anyone should have a problem with the Constitution it would be Trump, not his prosecutors.

Maybe you ought to read the Constitution some day. ;)

The trial that's being televised on every channel - even Fox News. Where've YOU been?

straightUp Loc: California

How are you folks so clueless?

It's essentially been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that that Trump lied about the e******n "steal" which was the primary message of that speech. Every last investigation into v***r f***d turned up empty handed and now his closest advisors are also admitting that Trump was lying about it. The speech is only part of it. There is also the millions of dollars that went into his wild goose chase for any sign of possible corruption all based on his lie, not to mention the additional $250 million he raised from poor i***t Republicans to "stop the steal" that he and his family embezzled for personal use.

Like I was telling RandyBrain, this is new territory. We've never had such a sore looser for a president before. So refusing to hand over power to a duly elected successor is new to us. Having a president lie to a mob about the e******n results and encouraging them to "fight" it is also new stuff that we've never see before.

So let me explain something... Most criminal cases involve crimes that have been committed many times before so legal precedents are almost always available. Sometimes law makers find a reason to codify the precedent by making it a law. So it's not surprising that you're doing the Tucker Carlson "stupid act". "Gee, is it ILLEGAL to gouge someone's eye out with a spoon? Where is the law that actually says it's illegal to gouge an eye out with a spoon?"

The fact is, the absence of a precedent is rare so we are far less likely to understand what happens in such cases, but one thing is certain, the whole "where is the law that says..." excuse doesn't work. If someone does something new that people can sense is wrong. It doesn't matter if there is no law against it or previous precedent. We don't just dismiss a case simply because no one else was ever stupid enough to try it. What happens is a new precedent is set maybe even a new law will be written.

This is why our founders left us with a mutable Constitution and a set of laws AND methods for creating new laws... so we can use our own good judgement to resolve cases that haven't happened before or that the founders themselves could not possibly envision.

So don't worry if it seems Trump didn't violate any existing laws in relation to his effort to cling to power. They will MAKE the laws and what happens to Trump will BE the precedent going forward.

I recommend we hang him.
