It’s a group of very, very conservative people. And they wrote a document that many of the points are fine. Many of the points are absolutely ridiculous.
Only recently I began viewing him in the manner in which he doesn't bend over to the establishment or any secret societies and so on. — Shawn
he really is the man of the people. — Shawn
How do you square your admiration with his immoral character? In particular, the numerous instances of fraud. I can (kind of) get overlooking his sex crimes since they are against individuals, but fraud is a way of life with this guy - and he's applied it during his Presidency - manipulating his supporters with lies. His "drain the swamp" proclamation was a fraud - he had the most corrupt set of appointees in history. He tried to weaponize the DOJ, and then complains (without evidence) the Democrats have done that, while promising to prosecute people in retaliation for the fiction they've gone after him.Trump is someone I really admire — Shawn
When has the DOJ ever gone after Trump for a "process crime"?Trump agrees to be interviewed by the one agency that will use it to indict him with some sort of specious process crime. — NOS4A2
Applying the law equitably entails "moral panic"?!Many of Trump's employees descend into the moral panic, as do many seemingly qualified and rational people — NOS4A2
"Criminal", "weird", "immoral" - what do these words even mean to people who live in a nation that's funding a literal genocide? :chin: — Tzeentch

Applying the law equitably entails "moral panic"?!
So it's just paranoia toward the FBI (hmm. I wonder where that came from ;-)) that induces you to assume the worst about them....

Never. But my point was that they are going to, not that they have. — NOS4A2
...but the paranoia of people who've worked for Trump and fear for what he might do (based on what they've heard him say and things he tried to do) is the only thing that's unreasonable.Applying the law equitably entails "moral panic"?!
No, believing Trump is an existential threat entails a moral panic, and many of his disgruntled former employees have stated as much — NOS4A2

As for evidence, most of those convicted in the Mueller investigation, for example, were for process crimes. Now that we know that there was no underlying crime to begin with, that the entire investigation was a failure and had no reason to start in the first place, it makes their indictments all the more unjust. — NOS4A2
So...it seems that your judgement of the DOJ is based on Trumpian falsehoods.
On the contrary, I read the Mueller report, the IG's report, the Senate Acitve Measures Report, and the Durham Report. You seem base your view entirely on the Durham report, and don't even seem to understand what he was examining and saying.You’re just repeating media falsehoods. — NOS4A2
Complete nonsense. The IG found some mistakes made during the Crossfire investigation (not the Mueller investigation), specifically with the FISA warrants on Carter Page. Durham found no other mistakes. He disagreed with some specific judgements (e.g. Durham felt that some misinformation from Russian Intelligence about Clinton's involvement should have been more fully investigated, which is ludicrous given that it's abundantly clear Russia was truly helping Trump).It’s based on special counsel findings. — NOS4A2
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
