That clip of protesters attacking police while carrying a flag saying 'Police Lives Matter' will never get old.
police lives matter
1 police offer was killed from strokes in the hospital; 2 committed suicide after
oh the irony
It's really nice to be able to point to it, because it's very eloquent proof that the flag just means anti-Black.
That and the fact that a woman wrapped in a “don’t tread on me” flag. Got trampled to death by her fellow trump supporters that day…
I’m not happy about it, but it’s pretty damn ironic
A mob with a "Police Lives Matter" flag attacking cops which leads to some of them dying just reminds me of those "Pro-life" people who want women executed if they have an abortion. Or when they say "think of the children" and then say they don't care about improving child education and adoption homes.

The sad part about this, is all those people involved in this at some point said something along the lines of "You lost, get over it." in 2016. This whole mess is childish on their part and really am holding out that people see the inside of a cell (though I doubt that will happen.)
Republicans in 2016: "LOL Libtards mad they lost the election. Get over it"
Republicans in 2020-2022: "DONALD TRUMP WON NOT BIDEN THE ELECTION WAS OBVIOUSLY RIGGED WE NEED TO OVERTHROW THE CAPITOL"
Well, it will now
I honestly think that's *one* of the reasons they've turned fascistic and incredibly conspiratorial _(more so than usual..lol)_ over the last few years. They were SUPER cocky and smarmy when Trump won, and they were SO confident that he would win again..but when he lost, rather than feel embarrassment over their arrogance backfiring on them and taking the L like an adult *(which requires a certain level of self-awareness and intellectual honesty that they clearly don't have)* they instead try to warp reality into what they WISH happened. And most of them have committed to that path, and *nothing* will ever convince them otherwise.
*Incredibly ironic behavior coming from the crowd that constantly proclaims to care about "Facts over Feelings"..*

"You can't charge people unless they tampered documents" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard from a judge. If someone releases a stink bomb into Congress, I'm pretty sure that would count as obstruction since members of Congress need to physically convene together to do their elected job.
Then every protester who stopped a supreme court confirmation hearing should be charged or you have a selective prosecution claim

All I want to know: What is the probability that anyone in power will suffer any legal consequences for any of these actions? Is it all just theater or will we see justice?
I'm pretty sure it is 90% theater. But I don't know what the other Ten percent is
The US will never charge nor put in prison an American president. They are too full of themselves
The committee can make recommendations; criminal indictment is up to the DoJ. I am not a lawyer.
Theater only
The DOJ won’t prosecute until they have the evidence for it to be 100% in their favor. It may look like they aren’t doing anything, but once they do something it’s already over for who they prosecute.
Criminal solicitation is what I accuse Siri of every time she tells me to pull an illegal u-turn.

I can confirm that this is actually what Italian politicians tell prosecutors after a major scandal comes to light.
To bring an example: after the fall of the Morandi bridge, the Minister of Public Transportation said "he didn't remember ever signing a document guaranteeing the bridge was safe for use".
He signed a dozen copies of this document, all of which had his name on it and were brought to his attention in different meetings.

"We want a free election! We want Donald Trump in office"
Well, it's not really a free election if only Trump is allowed to be elected.
Eagle missed some stuff that Some More News covered in 'Greens War on Things She said'.
If we lose, they cheated.
If we win, it's fair (but they probably still tried to cheat)
Their definition of "a free election" means that _they personally_ are free to have the president _they personally_ want.
It’s actually not even an *election* if you plan to install the same person regardless of the vote. Kinda the point.
I love our system where one judge who has an obvious bias toward the parties involved in 1/6 can just arbitrarily define obstruction and just has to be treated as legitimate, instead of the blatant partisan hedging it is.
It’s a joke. Just like how judges can cite precedent when it suits their agenda, but then set a new one when the existing ones don’t suit their agenda.
@The_ZeroLine Or be constutional textualists when it suits them, and then suddenly start doing their job and interpret the constitution (when it suits their agenda.)
The fact that there are people in this very comment section saying things like "it wasn't an 'attack'" or "they just walked in and wandered a bit" is truly mind-boggling to me. In this video alone there were snippets of footage from the event that _clearly_ show how bent on violence and obstruction the rioters were. How obtuse, willingly blind and/or dishonest can someone be?
The bar just keeps lowering every single time
Pretty sure it's half disinformation trolls and half Americans with IQs well below room temperature.
there are videos of them being invited in
As with all things in life there are different circumstances.
The people who rioted should be punished
Those who walked around after being invited in should be pardoned
and they need to stop torturing them in prison with cruel and unusual punishment. Honestly time already spent in jail should count toward any sentencing which in this case would mean the vast majority of them have already served any sentence they would get.
@@hardrada3534 Thank you for making my point for me so thoroughly. 🙄
@@hardrada3534 Tbh only a minority of the "stormers" would be guilty. And I think it's insignificant compared to Trump's complacency during the whole thing. Took him more than 12 hours since the Capitol building was breached. That alone is criminal

So, he knew they had guns and knives, yet told his staff to take away the metal detectors and let them inside? That's directly aiding the insurrection.
"They're not here to hurt me" tells you he knew they might hurt someone, just not him. He also showed a total disregard for threats on the Vice President's life.
It's crazy to me that the elected officials who clearly committed crimes that day, are in fact, still elected officials. Our judicial system sucks.
Wait, honest question, which officials? Were they ever tried?
Imagine a world where there was a tape of Obama saying “I just need 11,000 votes”. I bet them it’d be serious to the right all of a sudden.
It certainly was serious to them when under Obama there were around 10 ebola cases in the US. "The president should resign!!!!"
What a dreadful bunch of killer clowns.
Lol the Obama administration legitimately admitted to spying and disrupting the trump campaign in 2016, what you on about?
Thanks Obama 🤣

Imagine if Obama said most of the drivel that came out of Trump’s mouth.
It's wild to me that this many people are not only this corrupt themselves, but are willing to do all of this corrupt shit in support of a guy with a lifetime of screwing people over and throwing people under the bus.
All of these people have it in their heads that "It won't happen to me" regardless of how many others it had happened to. They rationalize that it is always the victims fault for not being loyal, not Trumps.
He threw his only favorite child Ivanka under the bus as soon as she half disagreed with her father.
The hilarious part is you think you're owning Trump when you have just described Biden
@@DeadBaron : Biden is a centrist pushover, but Trump has actually failed at every private-sector business venture he has ever started, besides overcharging people to become a "billionaire." Yet Trump parrots the tired "conservative" narrative of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" to "make America great again" (since 2009, anyway; before that he was all too happy to support New York Democrats). But, have fun blaming Biden for everything. You'll find it's not as fun as the Obama or Clinton years.
@@eaterdrinker000 Wow that's a lot of words, too bad I'm not reading them. Cope, seethe, dilate XD
It’s just amazing how this is still ongoing and the procedure seems to be so painfully hard. The fact that the party accused of the wrongdoing on a government scale is able to blatantly Block and manipulate investigations and prosecutions is just nuts. How is the USA considered a first world country?! It may have a lot of wealthy and influential companies/ ppl living in it but on the other hand there’s so many more things that are just as bad as in 3rd world countries…
Unlike other counties the US doesn't censor the media as much. Another reason since the US is so influential around the world people care about the US too much for every little thing.
@@garrysmith1029 Well give it a few months because the republicans, particularly those in the Supreme Court, are trying to actively roll back media and reporter protections.

@@TheRatsintheWallsWhy are you using the decades old meaning instead of using what people is using it for today? It's like using fa**ot to describe a bundle of sticks.

The fact that that Georgia call alone hasn't put Trump in jail shows how screwed up our system is.
Well-reasoned and presented. I cannot wait to see how this ends. :)
What surprises me is that people still fall for the con run by the Trump camp. I know enough basic psychology to understand why it could happen, but Trump's shameless self-interest is pretty clear regardless of which way you vote (Democrat or Republican). I think the better question is "what has he ever done for you?" in exchange for one's unwavering loyalty?

I don’t have words to describe how insane all of this is. Those who were involved in the events of Jan. 6 clearly communicated what they wanted, how they wanted to achieve it, and barely bothered to hide most of it. It’s astounding that much of this is still considered to be in some sort of legal grey area.
We are a relatively young country. This is more or less the first time the "peaceful transition of power" has ever been tested. And apparently there are barely any real rules beyond a gentleman's agreement to make it happen.
And yet AOC just admitted that officers from their own group let most of those people in Jan 6, and literally debunked every lie that this theater show has been saying.
That's what happens when the 1st Amendment protections are as strong as they are. Sure, everybody can say whatever, but it makes it difficult to pick through to the actual problems. This is by design though, whether it's a good design or not.
Was this the call for violence by trump at the end of his speech?
"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
@@jesuslovesyou-mattsmith1502 No. People usually refer to the "fight like hell" segment.
In 1787, Franklin was asked what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was "A republic, if you can keep it."
I’m confused about why it’s so difficult to convict trump of inciting a riot or of intentionally interfering in proceedings of the government. He basically did everything short of going up to a judge and declaring “I intend on inciting a riot to interfere in the proceedings of the government.” He gave a speech where he told people to fight to keep congress from convening, then those people successfully fought to keep congress from convening. If this doesn’t qualify, what possibly could?
Because he put a lot of judges on the bench and lots of the potential jury members are his supporters. Makes convictions hard no matter what he did.

Yeah they all voted for me because they love me and I'm the greatest president since that guy with the wooden teeth, you know who he is, but he was great like me. But these votes they just fell off the back of a truck. Nothing to worry about."

Never forget that not a single one of Epstein's clients has taken the fall. If Trump is arrested, it would suggest to me that he is innocent of government corruption. Our government is, undeniably, the largest terrorist organization in the United States. Corrupt tyrants don't gulag themselves.
Still waiting for ghislain maxwell’s little black book to lead to consequences… not gonna hold my breath though.
If Trump, Clinton, and other big names were on that island, I highly doubt that book will see the light of day
The worst part is, there's a projected 50% chance that the Republicans will take both chambers of Congress after this midterm. If that occurs things are going to get loony when it comes to investigations. Even if just the house (which has an 87% chance to be won by Republicans) goes, then these committees and investigations are done.

9:08 I like how he starts by saying he wants a fair election and ends by saying he wants Trump installed as dictator.
🎯
i wonder if, in hindsight, that dude at 9:10 realizes the irony. "We want a free election" and "we want [a particular candidate] in office" are mutually exclusive desires.
Understanding the nuances of irony and how it works would require critical thinking skills. Trumpers don't use critical thought, or are completely incapable of it.
There's nothing wrong with WANTING a particular candidate in office. Insisting that the election can ONLY be free if a particular candidate wins is where we start running into issues.

The democrats will never get ahead by playing nice or fair.
@@tzvikrasner6073
I hope so. But right now, Garland just seems timid... like most Democrats. I'm a Democrat, myself - there's really no other choice - but I get so frustrated at how timid, poll-driven, and politically inept most Democrats are. Why do they think they struggle to get Democrats to actually *vote?*
Garland is all about the rule of law, yes. And I don't _want_ the Attorney General to be partisan - or the Supreme Court, either. But that ship has sailed.
Republicans have already destroyed the Supreme Court. And we all remember Bill Barr. At some point, we have to make sure this stuff doesn't happen again by having actual _consequences_ for trying to overthrow our democracy - especially since Republicans are working hard to do the same thing in 2024.
I've been patient with Garland. I've been _more_ than patient. But enough is enough! I need more than just wishful-thinking here.
@@alexlollar3293 I’d say this goes beyond political lines, except the right wing have all accepted this blatant attempt to end our democracy and seem to be working towards the next attempt.
That’s the problem with this type of delay of justice. If our democracy doesn’t immediately put an end to these schemes, the people behind them just keep trying until they find a scheme that works. It’s either the end of the sedition, or it’s the end of America. Thinking long-term, there is no other endgame.

Man, your throat must be so parched after doing these vids, sooo much info! Well done! I felt that by the end you were like "Oh hell, there's still more. Okay, deep breath, I got this."
That was one of the smoothest sponsor transitions I've seen, especially on a channel with really smooth transitions! Are there any plans to put up a video update covering the new information obtained in reference to the USSS text messages that were "lost" on Jan 5 and 6?
Edit: Could it be possible that the loss of text message records, if proven to be deliberate, be used as evidence of tampering with records for obstruction of justice charges?
Let me understand. In the USA law, if you believe in your own líes you're inmune to the law?
This looks like laws to protect corruption.
Even if the rioter chose to believe all those unproven lies, they still knew that beating police officers and smashing in windows was criminal.
Same for Trump and his cronies.
There are some laws that have an "intent" aspect, such as the ones that are "Conspiracy to __" because the "__" was never committed, the only thing you really have left is the intent. A lot of these can be sidestepped if you can show that they, in some way, knew or were warned that whatever they were planning or doing would be a problem.
Imagine:
"I didn't think those donations would be used for purposes other than political ads."
"We have records of X telling you that these funds were not going to political ads."
This kind of exchange gives rise to at least one of fulfilling the intent requirement for the crime (they knew and let it happen) or the person has just committed perjury (which is also illegal).
@@efulmer8675 I do want to add, not necessarily to you, but in general because I've seen people decide that due to this (or because of other cases or because they don't think it should matter at all,) that intent isn't important, when it is. Intent is important because it's makes a big difference. Example: one driver gets off their graveyard shift and falls asleep at the wheel, as when they started to drive they weren't that tired and they were just trying to get to the next off ramp so they can pull over at a gas station because pulling over onto the shoulder to nap is not only dangerous but illegal. They wreck into another vehicle and kill someone VS someone getting in their car and intentionally choosing to crash their car into a bicyclist on the shoulder, killing the person. Obviously one is worse than the other despite someone dying in both. That doesn't make either death more or less important. Or say lighting striking a house setting it on fire and a small child dying as a result vs someone intentionally setting the fire and trapping the child inside so they die.
Or another way to look at it, for laws that DON'T consider intent is why you can actually spend many years in prison for picking up a single bird feather off the ground (god forbid if you have a collection of them.) Yes that's right. In the U.S. picking up a bird feather you found on the ground is considered messing with migrating birds (even if that bird doesn't migrate or it's the wrong time of year.) Can not land you in jail, but an actual prison (which are not the same thing.)
This poses a very interesting question, but I think you have to look at it a bit differently. If Trump honestly believed he had won the election, then his claim was not a lie __per se__, but a mistaken belief. For some of the crimes Trump could be charged with, there is an element of __mens rea__, or criminal intent. Given the facts as they've been presented by the committee this claim would imply a severe psychological disability. Although not presented by the committee, there is reason to believe this may be the case. Brandi X Lee's book, __The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump__ goes into great detail concerning potential psycho-pathology. Even if Trump was willing to use this defense, I think it would be a difficult row to hoe. Especially if the connection is made that he knowingly incited the riot at the capitol expecting it to turn violent. I think we are close to that point, subject to impeachment at any trial.
Only if your rich, white, and powerful. You can avoid consequences from your crimes by claiming you didn't mean to commit crimes.
Fact: I never once wanted to be a Lawler due to the fact that you can expose ALL of this shit, and nothing happens.
Being right about someone committing crimes doesnt even lead to anything if they have hands in politics
Welcome to the US legal system, the epitome of "rules for thee but not for me"
Rules apply to everyone but the government. Meaning both left and right wing politicians are insane. If you lie to the government we get put in prison but if they lie to US it’s called being a politician.
Honestly, at this point I really fear this stuff makes Trump supporters like him more not less, he just seems indestructible to them, and for weak people wanting a strong man to lead them that has to be appealing... I hope to god I'm wrong and this time, FINALLY something will stick. But I am so SO jaded that I just don't care any more.
Most lawyers don't practice criminal law. They push numbers around for corporations like everybody else.
At this point convicting Trump would lead to pandemonium. He'd still deny all wrongdoing and his followers would lap it all up and raise hell.

Hey, LegalEagle! I'm a new subscriber, i've came across you because of Dr. Mike. So in our local tv there's this korean drama on air lately titled "While you were sleeping" and it includes a lot of scenes where the main lead is in the Prosecution and i would like to see it getting lawyered by you. Although its on Prosecution i would still like to see you point out inaccuracies on there. I hope you see this.
As someone who's been in the system, and spent time in jail, I really wish people would stop referring to short sentences as "prison sentences."
Our prison system is so overcrowded, most "prison" sentences are carried out in county jail, especially if it's less than 5 years. Jail and prison are VERY VERY different. To "free" people, they're probably used interchangeably, but should not be.
You've given enough info to allow others to commiserate with you, but just short of enough to let people understand what the difference is
@@roquetlegume9628 It's difficult to explain. Many of the differences would likely be considered blurry semantics to someone who hasn't been to jail or prison, but when you're owned by the government, those semantic details are hard lines. The semantics literally define your daily life for the entire time you're behind bars.
Ultimately, if someone is looking at less than a few years, every day of it will be served in jail, as it generally takes a minimum of 18 months to process people from jail to prison, up to a few years, but people in prison generally have several years to serve.
I didn’t think anything approaching a year would be carried out in County Jail. never knew…..

I’m afraid you’re right good sir.
Would you ever consider doing an episode on Miranda Vs Arizona? I know I keep asking this but it is such an interesting and important case. I think it would make an incredible video.
Related to that... There's the recent SCOTUS case of Vega v Tekoh which has grtly affected the extent to which Miranda Rights are useful; and it wud be grt to hear a real lawyer tackle exactly what Vega v Tekoh has changed when it comes to our Miranda rights.
Also related to that is State (NJ) vs Hartley. It’s an early case of double homicide where the perpetrator was not properly Mirandized and thus let go. (I knew the victims and had not realized it was an example in law books).
@@SylviaRustyFae Not at all, that case only says you cannot sue a cop if he forgets to read you your rights. Technically, if you know your rights, that would be a non-event, but anything you say at that point may not be admissible in court.
@@UncleKennysPlace Not at all what? It 100% effects the extent to which they are useful; and this is also a relevant recent case to talk about regardin Miranda v Arizona.
@@SylviaRustyFae I believe what he's saying is that it doesn't affect ones Miranda rights directly, it's still required in the exact same way. The only thing you can't do is go after a cop in civil court for not giving your Miranda rights. I think it would be useful for him to discuss this case to describe this exact nuance because many headlines were misleading
GREAT sponsor placement on this one. I burst out laughing.
Wouldn't the deletion of secret service's text be considered destruction of evidence? Also, wouldn't Lauren Bobert's tweet revealing the relocation of house members be considered an act of treason?
Treason is the aiding and abetting of an enemy during wartime. Very few people have ever been charged with treason in this country. There's John Brown for Harper's Ferry right before the civil war, and there's some soldiers who defected to the nazis during ww2 and that's about it. Of all the things anyone could be charged with, it's not treason.
How about Nancy Pelosi's phone records?...
@@ThaiWanBraZeal I assume there's something specific you are referring to?
@@ThaiWanBraZeal What about them, MAGAT? And, you’ll notice, unlike Trump, even democrats don’t like her. And if they contain evidence she’s done something illegal, she should be prosecuted for it. It’s like saying “well, OJ got away with murder. Therefore, so should I.”

Welcome to the channel!
@@orangutantapioca1530 thanks. Yes it's refreshing to see his approach. I follow Glenn Kirshner, MediasTouch LegalAF, and a few others. When you find channels such as this, where everyone can listen and understand what is being said, (even if a person has limited knowledge of the Constitution and the law) and not feel alienated by the language, it can be a stress reliever. Especially with the tensions created by 6 years of Trump and his sycophants.
I keep a copy of the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution beside me so I can reference it readily. While I consider myself an intelligent person, I can see with the language in the text, that some people find it hard to follow and understand. It is understandable as to why so many misinterpret the language.

The fate of American democracy is reliant on the outcomes of these hearings. As a citizen of a fellow democracy I hope that this isn’t the start of the fall of the US.
Well, there is not likely to be any 'outcome', the real fate is going to come from the 2022 and 2024 election cycles.
It's not that easy. Even if Trump and all his allies are indicted, found guilty, and imprisoned (which will probably cause a great deal of violence, if not an outright civil war), there is a large number of Americans who want to violently destroy our government.
@@neeneko I agree with most of this, but a lot of people do not realize especially people not natively from the US, and also actually a lot of Americans as well, but the USA is not actually a democracy it is technically a Constitutional Republic which is basically a representative democracy which is in my personal opinion very open and subject to corruption.

Thank you for your civic service by making these videos. This is a very digestible summary of the facts and current status in this investigation.
Quality segue into the sponsorship portion of your video. 👏👏👏👏
There were so many crimes on January 6th that I was expecting this video to be in the format of the Animaniacs 50 states song.
The fact that most of these people will never see real consequences for their actions is… very unsettling. Not surprising, just disappointing.
I gotta admit, as much as I think violence is a bad answer to societal problems, I can’t help but wonder why none of these guys ever get the crazies shooting at them. They’ve proven themselves to be outside of the law, meaning they are the ‘shadow power’ that those type seem to fear as the ‘real people running the world.’
If things don’t improve, I expect we’ll see something like that before the country implodes into itself.

No one will see punishments most likely considering that if the committee is not done by Jan 3, 2023, Kevin McCarthy is just going to disband it.

this should be shown in history class. i'd take notes.
I like how LegalEagle was wearing his suit even while cooking in the kitchen.
My hope is that even if Garland fails to get him at the Fed level, the Georgia AG gets him at the state level. If it plays out that way, then Trump gets to skip Club Fed and go straight to Georgia State Prison.
I've grown awfully sceptical, but it's certainly an image that warms the heart.
as much as I would like this to happen. 0% chance it does. They've have Trump "dead to rights" so many times and nothing every happens.
@@jasonisaac9614 Dead to rights for provable criminal activity? I don't think they've ever had that much evidence. They may not this time either, but we'll see. Trump calling an election official pressuring him to "find votes" certainly does seem like legitimate proof of intent to falsely alter an election (remember, part of that indictment would be that Trump KNEW he had lost the election and the 1/6 Committee has done a pretty good job of demonstrating that).
for a non-us person, can you elaborate on the difference(s) between going to state & fed prison? by 'club fed' i guess you mean conditions are better in federal prisons?
@@sjs9698 Federal prisons (run by the federal govt) has no parole (but you do get some time off for good behavior) ... and are somewhat better than state run prisons (like GA). But most states allow parole (and good time) meaning that there is a chance that a prisoner will only serve a part of their sentence while the other part is served while on the street - but under supervision by a parole officer. Neither prison system - IMHO - is a trip to the beach. Yesterday is tomorrow.
The thought of DT getting off scott free terrifies me.
That advert transition from house arrest 👌😂
No matter what committee finds, no GOP leader is going to be indicted. Only some Trump supporters will suffer. Also, GOP is not going to learn any lesson from this. ( You can wakeup someone sleeping. But you cannot wakeup someone pretending to sleep.).
if Trump wins in 2024, he should immediately set all his supporters free, the law is broken, we need to protect our own.
The GoP will probably learn the same lesson it has from so many previous iterations : that they can still push the envelope further since this again will not hurt them.
The Maryland Republican primary elected a Trump-endorsed lunatic for Governor over a more centrist Hogan-backed candidate. The state had better make sure that November brings us a Democrat in the Governor's mansion.
Literally only Centrists should be able complain about the extreme actions of each side.
Far-left and Far-right are both terrible and it just shows when you identify with one political group you only look at the bad another group does, while thinking your political group is perfect and correct. Literally both sides follow the same politics, both the right and the left have incited violence.
Doesn't make sense why the far-left politicians aren't also being charged for inciting violence to the same degree.
Don’t say this stuff. With that attitude you will be right. We just need to wait until trump gets the nomination and we can arrest him.

I always like these videos. Detailed enough to be interesting but not quite so dense as to get bogged down or be too technical.
With all of this, and if it does not go anywhere (supposed leak that garland will not prosecute) this becomes practice. And then they will try again.
well... even if they don't prosecute, I think unless the party is real tone deaf, and still wants to lean on trump, that section of electorate is radioactive. those who "woke up" are likely to not vote trump, but I doubt even 1% actually woke up...
The only reason they didn't succeed is because everyone stayed put. If you take a look, a LOT of the outcome of so many coups come down to something small like this: Can we get one guy into a car? If ANYONE left that building that day, they'd have been strung up like a criminal. Ruben Gallego- an Arizona Congressman-was right when implored his fellow Representatives to NOT leave the Capitol. If any had, it would've been a blood bath. And Democracy dead.
If there are no consequences it becomes a dry run for the next attempt.
That's why it's so important to vote BLUE in EVERY election.
it's all a political game from both sides. I ID as blue, and I still have doubts about my candidates a majority of the time. None of them want real change or real progress or real justice. They want self-benefiting policies and power. Except Bernie. He was pure. And that's why he failed.

I just had a thought of my own. In your introduction message I don't know what I'm surrounded by!
Sometimes a video is painful to watch even when the content and execution is top notch. Reminders that our nation's party of "law and order" has contributed so greatly, illegally, and without punishment to our country's decline will simply always sting.
The Proud Boys and their leadership might be prosecuted, sure -- but heaven forbid we ever penalize a wealthy politician for the behavior that motivated the Proud Boys and other fallible citizens in the first place.
They are only the party of "law and order" when law and order is on their side; in reality, they act more like the party of "loyalty above all else".
If you talk to individual voters a lot of them actually completely divest themselves from the people who went into the Capitol and vehemently support the prosecution of those people. Though obviously when it comes Trump himself it’s a different story.
Now if you mean the party itself, they made a conscious choice during the Obama administration that they did not care about right or wrong, only increasing the power and influence of the party. But let’s be honest: both parties say what they need to say to get elected and then do what’s best for themselves once in office
@Michael Hurt
The people at the top tend towards corruption it seems.
But the dems base is very much about compassion. In fact, that's the reason why they are generally pissed at Trump and his supporters. They are the ones who support education, medical care, and social security. And that message has been consistent with the dems for a long time.
@@hereturbie7458 pretty sure most Republicans would identify themselves as compassionate, pro-education and supporting quality health care and the elderly. But yes, anytime someone says the Dems should play dirty too my response is always: ‘They can’t. They have a conscience’
One of the bigger differences between left and right is people on the right to tend take a macro view (the greater good) and can justify bad things happening in small numbers IF there is sufficient good that comes from it. (And tend to be working with less information in my experience.) Whereas people on the left generally take a micro view (what produces the fewest bad outcomes is best). Ultimately it’s a philosophical difference and both perspectives have their uses. Very few people actually have a goal of making life worse for others; people just differ in how to produce the best outcome. Or even what the best outcome is.
If Garland doesn't charge Trump then justice has no meaning.
my guy RAPISTS get off easy you think a FORMER PRESIDENT is gonna get charged with sedition? That's cute.
Morally, that should be true. Given that politics are involved, all sorts of on-the-surface-irrational results may occur. Sense doesn't appear to apply at the best of times.

... and then poor people can spend 20 years in a hell-hole prison for some cannabis, in the right state you might be committing a crime by giving a woman money for a cab to a clinic, and Trump and his cronies filled their pockets for four years, and are still sitting in their gated-community mansions.
Why can’t they indict Biden? He did all of this, Trump did nothing wrong.
Problem is it has never been a democracy. It’s an empire in all but name. 2.2 billion dollars to become president, means the potus works for money men not you. 100s of millions to become multi term senator, again they work for the money men not us. Voter restrictions laws again same ends to ensure they can, in effect, elect themselves. It’s a farce, it’s hypocrisy and the only reason it’s falling apart is that the facade is falling down, Trump did away with it, why pretend to live in a democracy when our lobbyist fueled oligarchy just wants it all and is tried of pretending that they’re not in charge.
