    It is? You should be able to easily answer the question, then.

    He will avoid answering you at all costs. One of the reasons I stopped interacting with him...complete waste of time.

    Our system will easily survive his conviction. It poses NO threat to democracy in any way. It might not survive Trump's election, since Trump is, bar none, the greatest threat domestic threat to our democracy.

    The University of Chicago report just shows that political tempers are flaring. And we have not had that type of thinking since the late 1960s and early 70s.

    However, there are no rigged prosecutions. You are just not wanting to believe that this is mostly based on Trump's own actions, and no one else. And keep in mind, those closest to him are the ones who are giving the "goods" against DJT to begin with.

    Trump dissed the Privileged Class when he ran against Hillary as a Republican. He’s been persecuted ever since.

    And it is cute that you think so. But he's always been part of the Privileged Class and still is. And, no, having to answer to the rule of law is not "persecution."

    We were told Pence was the smoking gun until we recently learned the truth; at no time did Trump say he knew he lost the election. More lies from the Privileged Class.

    If Trump is still part of the Privileged Class why are they attacking him? The PC does not want the border closed, Trump did.

    Do you want Biden to be held under the rule of law for his illicit gains as VP or not?

    Not publicly at least, but there have been several, including his own daughter, son in law, and others within his close circle that said that he did. Pence was the VP and he did not do what Trump wanted, to not count the official election results of Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, I think one or two more states, in which those fake electors would become the "official electors" in the counting of the votes. Pence did what VP Biden did in 2017, denied those claims. The only difference, the moment Arizona was denied, we had an insurrection by Trump supporters that day.

    If Trump is part of the privileged class, and he is BTW, then why would he care about anything towards you who is not in the same class as he is?

    That's not what he said, he said find me enough votes to win by one vote.

    Alternate electors are illegal.

    The article never said it was exclusively democrats. It could be independents and certain republicans who do not want Trump to be president. I know that is hard to hear for someone who is about as partisan as it gets, but the fact of the matter is that they did a study and found that 30 million, out of 300 million, or thereabouts, think this should be the case. Many people can talk, but very few take actual actions as evident with the failure of Timothy McVeigh, Dylan Roof, and others who did what they did criminally in order to start a race war according to the Turner Diaries.

    Because that isn't what he said. But you know this.

    The people of Georgia are angry. The people of the country are angry, and there's nothing wrong with saying that, you know, that you've recalculated,” Trump said on the call. "All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have... Fellas, I need 11,000 votes, give me a break."

    YES! I mean . . . I would if that were actually true and not some pathetic bull **** you made up and can't defend. If you ACTUALLY had evidence, then YES! For ****'s sake, YES! Do it while he's still in office! But your whole argument is a bit limp, bud. You have no actual evidence of your claims. And you will do exactly what you did last time I called you out on your bull **** and try shifting the goal posts.

    What's really funny is that the OP ADMITS THAT and PRAISES HIM FOR IT.

    "President Trump famously declared during his 2016 campaign that he loved the “poorly educated” because voters with lower levels of schooling delivered an overwhelming share of votes to him," the conservative Washington Times."

    Trump is innocent. He is the victim here.

    Trump's followers really believe that. They believe it because they wouldn't be caught dead watching ABC, NBC, CBS, and -- horrors of horrors -- CNN. They listen to Fox and other far right sources because they hear what they want to hear, and it isn't reality. Moreover, Trump is their savior, and his word is gospel.

    It doesn't matter to them that Trump is a loser. He has lost the popular vote in every election he has been in, and, while President, his party lost both the House and the Senate ... then the Presidency.

    It doesn't matter. They adore him and his four criminal indictments anyway.

    What a bunch of losers!

    I guess I'm a loser because I watch the local news, then NBC News, and Fox News, and I voted for Trump twice -- in two different elections, of course.

    Haven't all the defendants lawyers been indicted by now?
    I doubt there are enough public defenders left to accept a plea deal.
    Will the DNC supply counsel for the defendants?
