    The 8th Amendment? Totally LMAO!
    For everyone"s consideration:
    An article about Trump being Mocked, Eviscerated, Ridiculed, and Totally OWNED over his ludicrous 8th Amendment claim:
    Trump Mocked After Claiming The Constitution Prohibits His $450 Million Fraud Fines
    Donald Trump is claiming the 8th Amendment's prohibition on 'excessive fines' makes the fine levied in his New York fraud trial unconstitutional.

    That's another ludicrous argument that the Trumpies think is a real winner.

    Hard to imagine that anybody would waste bandwidth making such a ludicrous "argument"...

    The Orange Hemorrhoid is using RNC funs to waste courts' time with frivolous arguments in multiple courts in multiple cases in multiple forums.

    And these guys can't see it.

    That's an opinion piece. Nothing factual. Trump has a good argument with regard to the 8th amendment and what amounts to a bill of attainder.

    BTW Obama once wished that he had the power of Xi. Did you condemn him for that?

    I must have asked too difficult a question. I'll make it multiple choice.

    Letitia James' campaign message is:

    A. I will make Trump my best friend because he's so awesome.
    B. This campaign has nothing to do with Trump.
    C. I will prosecute Donald Trump in order to remove him from office.
    D. Trump is real bad, but there's just nothing I can do about it.

    Question 1 Answer Key = C

    Interesting. And do you believe you speak for everyone that was persuaded to vote for her as a result of watching that ad?

    Or is it possible that the majority of voters might have misconstrued her apparently nuanced message?

    Other posters can answer for themselves. I won't speculate on what they're thinking.

    I invite you to use the same level of scrutiny you apply to James' words when you read my posts. I did not ask if you spoke for other posters. I asked if you spoke for James' voters.

    I'm not sure why you would need to speculate about that. Either you believe you are right that James was not campaigning to "Get Trump" and the majority of voters agree with you. Or you believe you are wrong and voters did believe James was campaigning to "Get Trump".

    Are you a James voter? Did you vote for her for some other reason that was articulated in the previously posted campaign ad?

    His crimes were public knowledge. It’s no different than trump saying he’ll go after people here illegally

    You're asking me to tell you what others are thinking. Since I'm not psychic, that requires me to speculate. Why is that so difficult to grasp?

    The entire point of language and the parsing of language is to communicate what people are thinking.

    What do you think James was communicating with her ad? How do you think people parsed that? In the strained way you're attempting to parse it?

    Indeed, some have fallen so deep into the rabbit hole, I fear we may never see them again.

    That is exactly what I am asking. Taxpayers fund the Justice System. Why should it cost money for a taxpayer to appeal to the justice system. Does it cost money to call the police?
