I love that Republicans continue to liken our criminal justice system to those of a banana republic when, in fact, these individuals have been properly charged, arraigned, given an opportunity to sever their cases or move them to a different court or request a more speedy trial, are out on bail, have been provided with an attorney if they don’t have one, AND ARE, IN THE EYES OF THE LAW INNOCENT UNTIL A COURT OF LAW SAYS OTHERWISE—all the distinguishing features of the world’s gold standard of justice. In a banana republic, they would have already been executed for participating in an attempt to overthrow the government….

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You don't understand! The very possibility that any of these ~~oligarchs~~ fine Americans have to spend any time facing any sort of judgment at all is itself proof positive that we've descended into lawless anarchy! The country will fall apart one missed martini lunch at a time!
Don't you see?!? The law is for thee, not me!
It's how authoritarians operate in every realm. No matter how fair or objective or established the process is, they will insist on playing the victim, crying wolf, and framing as an attack on "all of us" everything that might infringe on their God-given right to do whatever they want to whoever they want. It's a big part of the reason why you can't give a mouse a cookie when it comes to Nazis.
If found guilty, shouldn’t the punishment be actual execution?
Depends on which charges. Hell, a lot of them he could be convicted of and still be allowed to hold office.
Basically it boils down to there being a LOT of charges and only some of them potentially barring from office, etc. He could be convicted on a dozen or more counts and just get 10+ in prison while running for office from his cell, depending on which ones.
It’s hard to find good henchmen these days. Indeed can help.
Seriously, look what the Joker's henchmen would do for him.
No need to look further than what 21 and 24 do for the Monarch

Go team venture!
When your entire promotion structure in your business looks like a bucket full of crabs, this is what you get.
"Nobody wants to work anymore!"
-Mob bosses who refuse to provide free attorneys for employees who get arrested on the job
Joel Haver needs to do one of these
"I don't think they'll believe me, laddie."
Into the pit with those blood thirsty sons of whores!

He already loses his shit on a regular basis. That’s why he wears adult diapers.
so that's the question, how high on ketamine will they have to keep him
Oooooh I fall apart.
Down to my core.
Didn't know it before.
Surprised cause you caught me off guard.
Hardest damn jury I fought.
If he is on trial or in prison, and Biden goes to the Celtic Otherworld, will the aliens finally come and save us?
They should all save their own asses. It's what trump would do.
