Those people don't have a cult of millions of deranged terrorists itching to violently overthrow the government and a good chance at being president again (which would be the end of our country).
Sometimes you have to be patient to get your desired outcome.
But, just look at Al Capone. We knew he was guilty as fuck for a long time, but it took a long time to build a case to put him away, even if it was just for tax fraud.
The cult doesnt go away, and they have to be dealt with as a violent domestic terrorist threat also. Because THEY ARE.
I'm not arguing against that, but some situations require a more nuanced approach. Just arresting him and throwing him in prison would make him a martyr to his cult of dumbasses
I get what you're saying but even if every I is dotted and every T crossed and he goes to jail, he'll still be a martyr.
his cult can't be reasoned with and the process doesn't matter to them. who it DOES matter to are the swing voters and ones that havnt gone off the deepend. if you ignore process, you lose those people and democracy ends. follow the process and at least some of them will have the sense to agree with the process
I understand that. What I'm saying is that the cult is going to react poorly no matter how he is prosecuted. Still, I do get that rules need to be followed, especially in this case.
So, literally: do not apprehend villain because bystander feefees will be hurt.
So your answer is that you are too afraid of Trump to properly enforce the law.
I'm sorry about your reading comprehension. You might try reading more books to improve it.
Oh, sweetheart, if you can find the courage to try to insult me, then you can scrape together enough courage to demand Democrats hold Trump accountable.
I wasn't insulting you, I was stating a fact. Your reading comprehension is clearly lacking if you drew that conclusion from my statement.
Yeah sure you are, now take that insulting attitude and direct it towards the Democrats. Go on, show some integrity for once in your life.
Or you can choose to keep wasting oxygen fruitlessly attacking me and prove to everyone you're just a moral coward who has no principles or scruples. Your choice.
Sounds like criticisms of your reading comprehension upsets you. Try reading more so it doesn't keep happening.
