Honestly, since the average memory span of major Trump scandals seems to be about 2 or 3 weeks for the public and media Trump probably would be better off just getting convicted now and have the appeals process going during the election rather than have it front of mind during the election. If someone had timed the Pussy tape a liiiiiitle better we might not have had this decade of hell to begin with..... I thought the prosecutors here and in the other cases had a policy of not proceeding with prosecutions against candidates for office after a certain ‘point of no return’ late in the election season, and the gambit was to stall until that date? Maybe it’s just in the Georgia case, I can’t remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular DOJ policy involves initiating prosecutions during the latter stages of an elections cycle, but that policy (theoretically) has no impact on prosecutions that began prior to the elections cycle.

I mean, to me it seems like at this point it's like arming kids with uzis in a game of tag and then being a stickler for the no tag back rule. Trump tries to overthrow the government. The government in various outlets has charged him with nearly 100 felonies in a lead up to the election. I think at a certain time and place there is merit to the no charging a candidate rule, but haven't we long since burned that bridge/whistled past that graveyard/pick your own saying?

Nokra Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 It's not new information, but it sure is disheartening to have yet another example of the two-tiered justice system: one for you and me, and one for the ultra rich. If you or I attempted these shenanigans, our assets would be seized so fast, we'd be slapped with a contempt of court charge, etc. But this garbage person gets special treatment.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t had a former president square off against an incumbent since the 19th century; we have more people telling pollsters that they dislike both candidates than we have ever had since we’ve been keeping track; and our media environment is so fragmented that no one can agree on wtf is going on. We had an insurrection at the capitol every moment of which was broadcast on the news, yet half the country believes it didn’t happen. We have a man running for president who was found guilty of sexual assault, with a charge for rape that a judge pronounced to be ‘substantially true’, yet half the country doesn’t even acknowledge it, and claims they’d consider voting for him. Unemployment is historically low and economic and wage growth is stronger than its been in decades yet when polled 4 months ago six in ten Americans say they think the economy is in recession. We are seeing a complete breakdown of the information ecosystem that allows voters to understand what’s going on in the world beyond their immediate environment, and a historic collapse of the civic norms that are the guardrails of democracy. We are not a republic of rational politics anymore, so rational assumptions are no longer a surefire guide to what our future looks like, especially in the matter of elections. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most worried about the GOP just straight up stealing the election. Enough states were won on like 10k vote margins that they could do it and have it be hard to tell for sure whether it was actually just the state swinging the other way this time. Without the the straight up steal risk, I would feel pretty confident that Biden wins again, although no idea about the House or Senate even in that scenario.
