I literally said that if Trump wins, do you think he’ll go to prison if convicted or remain in prison if previously convicted before the 2024 election…and your answer is yes, and my answer is no. And your response to that is that I’m stupid. So again focus on the actual prison piece not whether or not he is charged or convicted. My money is that if Trump wins in 2024, he will be in the White House come January 20th, 2025, regardless of any state court outcomes. You can disagree and call me a stupid, but do you really think the country would survive with an elected president being in a state prison? Now as for Trump winning, I definitely have my doubts (and would much rather see someone else), but looking at the current polls and how bad Biden is doing, it’s definitely not out of the realm of realistic possibilities. As for comparing Joe military person to the president…ummm, it’s the same reason why Hillary won’t be charged/punished for her crimes with mishandling classified information, but airman snuffy would. Same applies to state crimes. The elites are rarely charged for their crimes, especially compared to everyday folks.

I very much disagree. If this was the case, any state can pass some silly law and charge a president for violating it. And as much as I dislike Trump personally, there’s a decent chance we may find out in a little over a year. Also if you think every other President has been squeaky clean (to include our current one) then I guess we’ll again have to agree to disagree.

Just so I understand you clearly…you honestly think that if Trump were to win in 2024, that a state would take him in and put him in prison? Or, if he was already in prison, not release him?…and I’m not asking about an article, I’m asking you what you personally believe would actually happen. Likewise what would happen if tomorrow South Dakota charged Biden with a crime…do you actually think Biden would stand trial as a sitting president, as well as be allowed to be put in state prison if convicted? Even as the libertarian here, I’m discussing what we believe would actually happen…not what the Hamas loving Harvard folks write about.

So what you’re telling me that a state could charge Biden with a crime tomorrow, arrest him, prosecute him, convict him, and then put him in jail?

So what do you think will happen if Trump wins the 2024 election? A state can’t imprison a sitting president.

Abbas has already cancelled his meeting with Biden because of it. I’m sure the progressives at our universities will definitely protest as well.

Unfortunately I’m referring to all administrations and political parties/Congresses, as well many high ranking military brass. Some are just a lot worse/more blatant than others. And yes, this administration doesn’t receive any high marks for defending the Constitution either.

Ugh. And I didn’t know that the Army owns the ammo plant.

Just remember that supporting the Constitution meant that it was ok to imprison American citizens just because of their ethnic background. Also, Milley supposedly supported the Constitution and said he wouldn’t the follow orders of the President and told our (supposed) enemy this as well. One has to wonder if the Constitution doesn’t mean much anymore when it can be “interpreted” to suit an individual/group when desired.

Oh I’m well aware of what is acceptable and what is not. As I have said many times, I don’t approve of what the guy did at all and find it very immoral. But if someone thins that this is unacceptable but aborting a 7 month unborn baby is…well, there’s the rub.

Dude, you totally shot and missed wrt the actual biggest threat we face… Climate Change So get rid of that gas stove, that big gas guzzling SUV or truck, and stop eating meat. You’ll eat bugs and you’ll like it. https://nypost.com/2023/01/31/biden-says-global-warming-is-bigger-threat-to-humanity-than-nuclear-war/amp/

10% for the big guy…

Can’t you survive and live a healthy life without eating meat? Also we should ban hunting because sometimes you can’t find the animal you’ve shot and they only go on to suffer in the wilderness…maybe we should only be able to eat meat that’s raised on a farm to ensure no additional suffering? Are you also against fishing for fun?…or do you enjoy luring in fish (no pun intended) just to trick and harm them by piercing their mouths only to throw them back in the water when you’ve had your fun? Sometimes their mouths get pretty torn up if the hook it tough to remove…all for just our human enjoyment.

Yeah, I definitely don’t support this…but let’s pretend that France has freedom of speech, or many of the other liberties we have in the US.

Yeah…a leftwing progressive site. Why am I not surprised? But “echo chamber”…or something. https://nypost.com/2022/03/14/amnesty-international-is-no-longer-a-human-rights-group-its-just-another-progressive-lobby/

The only support for Hamas and the Palestinians is coming from the left, correct? Let me know if you need some examples…or does highlighting the worst of a group only work when the left does it to the right?

Israel can (and should) do whatever Israel believes they need to do. Now as to the question of US direct involvement…I think that would be a mistake. Which is why I think Biden is bluffing as I don’t see him authorizing an attack to support Israel. So just like Obama’s “red line”…it’s stupid to say this if you’re not going to do anything when it’s crossed. Side note—where are our resident leftists on this forum? Aren’t they all about democracies being able to defend themselves when attacked? Or does this just apply to when Russia is the aggressor?

While I’m understanding of your emotions, somehow I don’t think that would really make things better. I don’t know what the overall best solution is, but it’s definitely not this. Those that would stay behind would not necessarily remain there because they want to. Go after the terrorists, attempt to kill each and every last one…do your best to limit innocent casualties. And that’s even much easier said than done. I’m really curious to see how this all ends…but it’s definitely not going to be pretty.

Then you didn’t read very well…I said I don’t support him or what he did and I find it immoral. But I find a lot of things immoral that are not illegal. And if animals can be killed for our enjoyment and pleasure, why are some protected and not others? If I find abortion immoral should every woman who has an abortion be put in jail?

Well, this what one her friends said regarding 9-11…no one should be surprised. https://www.foxnews.com/us/9-11-anniversary-mourner-who-lost-mother-in-attacks-criticizes-ilhan-omars-some-people-did-something-comment

If the House GOP is smart (usually they’re not) they’ll pass a bill (once they have a Speaker lol) that gives Ukraine some more funding, along with a lot of Israel funding to go directly towards wiping out Hamas, etc…oh and way more funding for our own border protection. I’m not saying all the Dems will vote against it, but it definitely won’t be anything close to unanimous. They should call it the “in defense of democracy bill” or something cheesy like that lol.

Whoa—you wrote a lot man, which I appreciate, but I don’t have the time to go over each detail. Big picture: If it’s something you could do on your own, by yourself on an island, it’s a right. Now if we’re waking about what is a “government protected right” that’s a totally different animal (very little pun intended). If the government can suspend the “right” then you never has it in the first place or you never needed the government to physically allow you to do it anyway. Have you seen how Adams in NYC wants to suspend the “right to shelter”…yeah, that’s because it was never a right to begin with. The truck piece—if you’re saying if the difference between you and your family staying alive or dying came down to killing someone for a truck and you wouldn’t do it then I don’t believe you…and also look what our government leaders do…they have us kill propel all day long to (theoretically) make our lives better, safer, etc. Keep in mind that society might want to hold you responsible for taking another person’s life (because…wait for it…humans have rights). But if you can defeat those who want to take you in then it’s irrelevant. It’s kind of like of like during WW2…if by some weird chance Japan would have defeated the US with an unconditional surrender after we had already dropped an atomic bomb, do you not think their leaders would have tried and/or executed some of our leaders? But the winners call the shots. Hence why very few people were ever held accountable for atrocities committed against the Native Americans. Trust me, it’s not because the Native Americans didn’t want to. Prostitution and drug use should totally be legal even though I’m morally against both. If you disagree, then when are we going to ban alcohol for the same reasons? So going back to the animals piece—it has been shown that we can survive without eating animals, so we do we need to do it if it harms the animal? Side discussion…kind of messed up how I can donate a kidney for free but if I’m not allowed to sell mine if I agree to the terms. With both examples, I’m out one kidney, but with one, I’m at least getting something else out of it.

Careful…some will call you a murderer. Oh and it’s a good thing to actually think outside societal of current cultural norms. If we didn’t, gay marriage would still be illegal. Just one example of many. https://www.peta.org/media/news-releases/new-peta-billboards-proclaim-meat-is-murder/

Nah…you just can’t have a conversation outside of your own emotions. I used to be that way a long time ago. How was that steak dinner or chicken sandwich the other day? .

Depends on how bad you need that car I suppose. A lot of people get killed in war that I’m sure didn’t necessarily need to die for objectives to be achieved. And though I’m morally against bringing drawn out suffering to an animal, for some people it’s what they want to do. Like I said a while back, I don’t support what this DoD guy did…but it does beg the question of why things are legal and why things aren’t. As for this being a philosophical discussion, I thought that was obvious but I guess it wasn’t…next time I’ll say so.
