Trump's house wasn't raided because he took classified documents home. He was given chance after chance after chance to give them back and walk away scott free with no repercussions and no publicity. Trump's house wasn't raided because he lied to the National Archives and kept classified documents he knew it was illegal for him to have. Trump's house wasn't even raided the first time he instructed his lawyers to lie to the FBI about how many classified documents he still had. Trump's house was raided when after over a year of trying to get him to do the right thing, the FBI became convinced he would never return those documents. Instead he was shipping them around the country, deleting CCTV footage, creating false affidavits, all to facilitate his continued theft of property that belongs to the country. The only thing biased or unfair about the situation is the staggering level of deference and preferential treatment he received from start to finish.

Why does that mean it's ok not to care?

And only the hardest of the hard right think that people who turn up to an event entirely organised by Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists, who still decide to join in despite being surrounded by Klansmen and people carrying Swastikas and Aryan/Norse symbols are 'very fine people'. Only an irredeemable scumbag like Trump would blame the left for the violence at said rally after a hard right rally goer murdered a liberal protester.

Why?
-
Ok you’ve convinced me, now I see Biden’s crimes clear as day.
-
Credit where it's due, you are funny.
-
Well there's a conundrum! ;p

New MAGA defence secretary wrote a book saying the US military should fight a civil war against Joe Biden. Extremist? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/22/trump-defense-secretary-pete-hegseth-book

If you're so smart, can you explain how enlightenment philosophy relates to whether First Amendment protections actually apply to whether or not you can be banned on Dz.com?

No. He still has more votes than anyone else.

I am afraid that is just a display of your own lack of economic awareness. Collective wealth of US billionaires is currently increasing at around $1T/yr. 90% of that would more than pay for US debt interest. I would guess that, like most low tax right wingers, you have no concept of how rich the very rich are.
-
'Most people in the world' is just a red herring. You can make a rhetorical point out of it but it's irrelevant to any conclusion. People don't know what MAGA is? Ok cool - ignore them. What is MAGA really? Well that's pretty easy - it's Trumpism. He invented it, it's his cult of personality, it's his brand of politics. Is it extremist? Well, Trump tried to overturn a democratic election, Trump incited a mob attack on the seat of government, Trump has suggested deploying the US military against domestic enemies / political opponents... Yes. These are all extremist things.

No. They're addicts, right? The nature of addiction is such that the two most important things to them are a supply of drugs and the ability to beg or steal money to buy those drugs with. Second to that, food water and shelter. Are you going to find those things outside the city? So you want to victimise poor, innocent people who can't afford to live outside the bad areas by pushing all the homeless people at them? What will you say to them when they complain to you about all the homeless people on their doorsteps?
-
So right now, you would let the murderer go? Because it’s illegal to cane him, and those are the two options you just represented? Pretend he’s not helpless and cane him, or acknowledge that he is helpless and let him go? And the Constitution? That’s a bit trickier, I thought. And what would caning do about that? Homeless psychotic drug addicts will suddenly get their act together as a result? Come off it. Even Trump pretends his plan is about rehab. You think if you came someone they’ll suddenly decide the government has their best interests at heart and therefore they will engage with a government rehab program?
-
Funny thing, it would indeed be illegal to cane that person in that scenario. Is there any chance at all that the absurdity of your own example applied to your own suggestion will make you stop and think for a second? No, of course it won’t.
-
When they’re in custody after having been convicted of a first offence, yes. That’s exactly what they are. Unkess you’re taking about the police dispensing summary justice in the streets. Is that right? Do you agree with Trumps Judge Dredd fantasy of the police being really violent against suspects of petty crime? In which case, yes they still would be. The police aren’t going to risk fighting a dangerous person if they don’t have to, they’d just taser them first then dispense the caning. Duh. So anyway, yeah. What Joe said you said is exactly what you said.
-
What do you think caning means?
-
Yes of course, as with Putin and as with your imaginary Jan 6th panels you will decide to stop engaging for completely unrelated reasons when you are unable to support your argument any further.
-
Ooh, please go ahead and explain that one. This’ll be fun.
-
Jesus you’re obtuse. Try this - that’s exactly what the dems thought 4 years ago. (And if you’re unable to do the substitution if parties and candidates yourself, that’s in you.)
-
It’s when you start to play silly games like this that we know you’ve noticed your mistake.
-
And yet the lesson you have taken from it is that it couldn’t happen again.
-
You can’t figure it out yourself? He and his ideas were conclusively rejected by the electorate, but the Rs kept supporting him.
-
Are you? What happened to Trump 4 years ago?
