Our AG isn’t aware this is a crime. So there’s that.

It needs to be taken down. Flagging is not good enough.

Sometimes I really wonder what we are going to do about Facebook and Twitter. Out here in the west, officials have been deluged with calls about antifa/BLM setting the fires that have been so destructive. They’ve taken to all kinds of media to plea for these calls to STOP. The source of the rumors about BLM/FB is…FB and Twitter.

Not using them would be a good start.

Truie.

Billy Bob Barr is unfamiliar with what the Federal Law is as it pertains to voting.

He’s all about protecting tRump from sexual harassment charges, this takes up most of his waking hours.

Yes, it is clearly stochastic terrorism. He is the biggest perp/terrorist in the entire US. Barr none. (pun intended)

“Misprision of felony”. I love it. Sounds like something dirty.

And then identify the companies that support this shit and boycott them. Hit the Hobby Lobbies, the Las Vegas Sands Hotel (Sheldon Adelson), Marvel Comics (yup, those guys - the President held a fundraiser for Donnie), Shell Oil, etc, etc, etc.

Money is speech, make your voices heard…

I knew about all of those except Marvel, which makes me really sad. You can tell there’s some disconnect between corporate and the artistic talent there.

“No one is above the law.”

And if you’ll believe that I have some prime real estate in Oregon I’d love to sell you. Act fast before it’s all gone!

Doesn’t matter. A sitting president is immune (their word, not mine) from legal prosecution according to a 2000 DoJ memo.

In 1973, the Department of Justice concluded that the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unduly interfere with the ability of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned duties, and would thus violate the constitutional separation of powers. No court has addressed this ques­tion directly, but the judicial precedents that bear on the continuing validity of our constitutional analysis are consistent with both the analytic approach taken and the conclusions reached. Our view remains that a sitting President is constitu­tionally immune from indictment and criminal prosecution.

The New York Times, with a straight face, notes that Trump is campaigning as “the law and order candidate.” His serial public encouragement of voter fraud does not merit a mention.

Funny how the objectional secretive OLC memos seem always to be written during Republican administrations. Nixon’s ‘keep out of jail’ free cards, Bush’s torture ‘justification’, and so on.

I wonder what this says about Republicans that they need to have this secretive office to run cover for their malfeasance.

My personal boycott is to not use any paper money with Steven Mnuchin’s signature on the bill (lower right hand corner). When I get them in change I collect some and bring them to my bank and exchange them for any other like bill with another Secretary of the Treasury’s signature on them. Mnuchin is a trump toady so I will not spend paper money with his name on it.

Well if he isnt going to leave when he voted out, and his supporters encourage this activity, and the GOP is right there, and the courts can not find time on their calendars to address this and many other issues who is going to stop him?

The flaw in this argument, as it pertains to Trump, is that Trump steadfastly refuses to “perform his constitutionally assigned duties.” Thus indicting and prosecuting him would have absolutely no effect upon Trump performing his constitutional duties since he is not doing that anyway.
