    And when he's not meeting with his attorneys and legal team?

    He is in his cell, like ANY other prisoner, why should he get special treatment?

    Yes, Stone deserves some jail time but nine years is too excessive, though. As does Tony Podesta, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, John Brennan, and James Clapper for their illegal activities. Right?

    Ah that's not fair, Andy said he was sorry. You can't prosecute people if they say they're sorry.

    In your opinion.

    As for your little list, if they receive a fair trial (like Stone) and are found guilty then yes they deserve jail time, no on is saying different on here.

    Good man. So they all should be charged, arrested and tried in a court of law, I take it.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    If there is proof of a crime then they should be charged, after a fair trial if they are found guilty then they should go to jail. I don't have an issue with that.

    Why hasn't Trump asked for their arrest do you think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,189 ✭✭✭Stallingrad


    There is no talking to most liberals on issues related to Trump. It's a waste of time. They're immune to the truth.

    What nonsense, you have been engaged with endlessly and have rarely dealt with any of the challenging questions put to you that require you to do some objective thinking and honest responding. The problem for Trump supporters is your guy makes it near impossible to sound credible, you ask for 'truth', yet Trump lies endlessly, you laud his trade wars without admitting it's resulted in socialist style bailouts, the economy is going well but you a blind eye to the staggering deficit he is running up, he's building the wall and raiding the Pentagon to fund it, the contradictions are blindingly obvious and endless, it goes on and on.

    I only know a couple of Trump supporters, and the literally are unable to articulate why they support him outside of a few soundbites which mean little, MAGA, drian the swamp,etc. They cant say it but they like him as he allows them to be open about their dislike for civil discourse, intelligent debate, those uppity n!ggers, minorities, latino, intelligent women, gays, black babies, etc.

    That is the guy you bat for.

    Because Trump can be a wuss at times. But there’s still hope if democrats keep pushing.

    So dems should push for arrests/conviction but Reps can cry foul (after a trial/conviction) and scream "UNFAIR" when the sentence is too long in their opinion?

    Dems do already... All but the unfair part because they get away with their crimes. Didn't you know there is one set of laws for republicans and no set of laws for democrats?

    If there is proof of crimes why hasn't the Donald had them arrested/charged? C'mon man it's not a difficult question, why have they not been arrested?

    He is literally the most powerful man there, he has republican judges coming out of his proverbial wazzoo, why has t he had them arrested and charged if there is proof of crimes committed?

    Obama started the staggering deficits he doubled the national debt. Trump is not gonna over spend 40 trillion no matter how much he tries. And Trump has done more for the uppity minorities than any president in history - by giving them employment in record numbers. You lefties are the ones blinded to Trumps rather brilliant achievements to date because you don’t like his style basically. Obama was all style and no substance. He doubled the national debt spending more than all the 43 presidents before him combined. Let that sink in.

    Also Roger Stone is an absolute gentleman. His arrest and persecution is nothing but sour grapes by the Democratic controlled State Dept and FBI. Sending an armed swat team to arrest him in a dawn raid while also tipping off the clown news network to the raid says it all. The deep state are scum.

    Trump as president is not allowed to arrest or legally charge anyone. He's not a king.

    I think Lincoln and Trueman might have something to say about that ridiculous claim.

    Fixed that for you. He was arrested, charged, tried in court and found guilty. I get it, you Trump fans hate to see decisions go against your golden boys but this (along with Trumps impeachment) is a fact.

    Wrong. All we want is equal justice under the law. I know that's a hard concept for the left and democrats here to comprehend, but it's merely that simple.

    Edit: I'm neither left nor Democrat, I'm just an interested observer of American politics, especially the shìt show that has taken place since Trump was elected.

    What, like have Trump go to each of their houses and make a citizen's arrest?

    I think Barr will eventually get around to it. He's not Shifty Schiff who starts legal proceedings without firm evidence, willy nilly.

    Sorry this coming from the poster who supported the Mullahs in Iran in a thread recently even suggesting the US was to blame for shooting down the airliner over Tehran. You have zero credibility to any sane observer.

    Also Roger Stone was the victim of the same coup attempt and witch hunt of Trump instigated by the errand boys of the corrupt Washington DC elite typified by creeps like Strok and Mueller. Anti American scum who still can’t accept that the wicked witch of the west Hilary Clinton lost the election because she was a soulless globalist robot with less empathy than Leo varadkar.

    Sigh...its like talking to an bunch of pre teens that cant concentrate.

    If I know of a crime and have evidence I would go to the police, produce my evidence and have the person arrested/charged/convicted/jailed. If the Reps have such evidence then they should do the same, why do you think they have not done this?
    I think Barr will eventually get around to it. He's not Shifty Schiff who starts legal proceedings without firm evidence, willy nilly.

    1, do you think Trump is a better president and did more for minorities than Lincoln or Trueman?

    2, please show evidence that I "supported the Mullahs"

    3, Please show me the post where I suggested "the US was to blame for shooting down the airliner over Tehran."

    So his trial and conviction are wrong? The trial that took place in court with witnesses and evidence? Can you show why this is a wrongful conviction or are you just pìssed off because yet ANOTHER one of Trumps "best people" has been found guilty and faces jail time?

    Drain the swamp indeed.

    Not at all. It’s an age-old political tradition that denotes something about a politician that people can easily remember and correlate. Examples... Honest Abe, The Iron Lady, Tricky Dick, Teflon Tony, The British Bulldog, The Governator… And it’s quite effective. You should know this.

    If nothing else, Trump is a great marketer.

    Oh bother. Do I have to actually spell it out to you? Trump cannot have anyone arrested. Trump can make comments. And he can also make requests and recommendations, but it's a tightrope he would be walking if he does this.

    So neither Trump nor any other citizen of the US has evidence for these alleged crimes yet we have had a list posted saying X, Y & Z should be arrested.

    No one can say why they should be arrested, no one can say what crimes were committed, no one can show evidence for these crimes (otherwise arrests would have been made right?) But a list was thrown up here calling for the arrest of the people.on the list.

    Laughable behaviour from.Trump supporters who are ashamed that yet ANOTHER one of Trumps "best people" has been tried/convicted and faces a long jail term.

    Draining the swamp one criminal at a time, Hilarious that the criminals are all his own people :pac:

    Why sure I got it from the source. And I did change a few things because I didn't want you to think I did all that. :P

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,391 ✭✭✭Cody montana


    I'll take the first 3 points for interest.

    If you compare Trumps first 3 years and Obamas last three years there was over 1.5 million fewer jobs created.

    More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in their history, because there ARE more Americans. Their population is growing.

    Manufacturing is actually in recession.

    Why not just say "copied from here" and link to site?

    Why the strange edit of words to make it look like you had written it?

    Weird behaviour imo.
