A quote from a 44-page decision by federal district judge David O. Carter: “Dr. Eastman and President Trump launched a campaign to overturn a democratic election, an action unprecedented in American history,” the judge concludes. “Their campaign was not confined to the ivory tower — it was a coup in search of a legal theory. The plan spurred violent attacks on the seat of our nation’s government, led to the deaths of several law enforcement officers, and deepened public distrust in our political process.” OK Trumper assclowns, go ahead and question this judge's integrity or love of this country. Before being appointed to the federal judiciary, Judge Carter was a U.S. Marine Corps., First Lieutenant, who voluntarily served in Vietnam, being awarded a Purple Heart for injuries and Bronze Star for valor.

Well, there was the Civil War.

If you want to see how they'll react get a load of this thread, @Shrink726


Unhinged comparisons to executing Trump and then executing Trumpists en masse. Ranting about how this is all somehow an attack on "freedoms." Not surprising, seeing as Trumpists have compared the plight of a Trumpist banned/suspended by social media to that of a woman photographed moments before being brutally murdered in the street during the Lviv pogrom.

Of course the same people have to turn around and do stuff like comparing their attempted overthrow of the republic to college kids getting drunk.

He's a Clinton nominee - what did you expect?

Right on cue. How sadly predictable.

How about all those Trump appointee judges who summarily laughed all of his Big Lie claims out of court?

Were they paid off or unwittingly infected with progressive microchips?

And what honestly did you expect, that we roll over and just swallow the nonsense being spewed here?

Frankly, yours is the more predictable crap here.

Well there is this:

  • Trump pressured state legislators and Ginni Thomas pressured congressional leaders to change the vote.
  • Trump pressured Georgia to "find" him votes.
  • Trump pressured the DOJ to simply announce that there had been fraud even though they found none and he would "do the rest."
  • Trump pressured the VP to break the law on his behalf.
  • Trump allowed his supporters to storm the capitol and egged them on with a tweet about Pence betraying him.

So there is quite a bit out there already that implicates Trump. This announcement by the judge should surprise no one.

Tell us why the judge's opinion is wrong, using your very best experience in all matters legal.

Watch for the people who try to deny it or downplay it.

Then you'll know.

Don't forget the Mo Brooks revelation.

Even the Marines turn out a asshead on occasional this occasion, for instance. Did you leave out the "more likely than not . . ." from the article's title and comment from the judge?quo
A federal judge said in a ruling Monday that then-President Donald Trump “more likely than not” committed federal crimes in trying to obstruct the congressional count of electoral college votes on Jan. 6, 2021 — an assertion that is likely to increase public pressure on the Justice Department to investigate the former commander-in-chief.

I've decided that I'm gonna start looking for the republicans with integrity. The ones that come out from under the control of Fox and TFG.

Then I'm gonna cut them a little bit of slack. I don't care if it is late.

The rest of them can move to Bulgaria for all I care.

Could you please indicate exactly what "nonsense" you're referring to?

And, predictably, Merritt [do nothing] Garland is nowhere to be found.

Perhaps he's too busy tasking the FBI with writing parking meter violations or jaywalking citations. You know, important stuff.

Friggin' insipid, feckless loser. Biden needs to fire his sorry ass yesterday and bring on a guy like Preet Bharara. The guy is brilliant and tough as nails.

I agree with you about Preet.
