The Donald Is Back!

[Khandro]

Great speech, straight from the heart, no baloney, & no autocue. Sleepy Joe, be afraid.

And you won’t?

i think i have shown that i try to base my opinions on evidence naomi...

[Paigntonian]

He's a mentally~ill fruitcake; a disgusting sexist, lacks any sense of principle and should be put down like a rabid dog.

[naomi24]

So you’re accusing him of inciting a riot? Is that right?

[Untitled]

yes

[naomi24]

Why wasn’t he charged?

[Untitled]

because his party voted to acquit him

[JDavis]

'So you're accusing him of starting a riot?'

You're quick on the uptake, Naomi.

[naomi24]

So he committed serious criminal offences - offences for which even you have irrefutable evidence - and he walked away unscathed. Righto …

Pull yourself together.

[naomi24]

JDavis, ‘inciting’ was the word I used.

[Untitled]

respectfully i think you might need to do a bit of research on this subject naomi...

[naomi24]

I think not. What you’re saying makes no sense whatsoever. He was hated by his enemies - absolutely hated - in fact it seemed the world hated him - so you can bet your boots if there had been a way to bring him down and send him to prison - where people who incite riots invariably end up - it would have been done.

[JDavis]

Inciting - apologies. That hardly exonerates him though.

[naomi24]

It wasn’t intended to.

[Untitled]

If you really think that sufficiently powerful and wealthy people can't get away with serious crimes then I'm afraid you're a bit naive...

there is still a chance that he could be charged. But given his status and the violence of his followers there are strong political disincentives... in the meantime the rest of us can just look at the evidence that has been made public... and I'm afraid it is pretty obvious if you'd care to look....

[naomi24]

Get a grip.

[JDavis]

It's not so straightforward punishing someone for inciting a riot when it's the President. And if he'd succeeded, he'd have pardoned himself.

He may end up in jail yet.

[Untitled]

Lol, ok naomi... whatever you say.

[jno]

some of his friends appear to have had enough of him; they'll be backing DeSantis next time out

'You might need to do a bit of research.'

'I think not.'

You seem to glory in your ignorance. Anything critical of your heroes you won't read.
