President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

From Salon, reposted by Yahoo ...

What should be done to stop Donald Trump and his repeated incitements and commands to violence and mayhem?

In a recent interview with host Dean Obeidallah on SiriusXM, Glenn Kirschner, who is a former federal prosecutor, explained why Donald Trump should be taken into custody immediately:

Donald Trump should be detained pending trial. ... And I say that not from my own personal preference or animosity I have for the man. ... I say it because the law provides that when there is clear and convincing evidence that a defendant pending trial presents a danger to the community, he is supposed to be detained, or she is supposed to be detained, pending trial, that's the law. ... Everyone has ignored that when it comes to Donald Trump.

Psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank, who is the author of the book "Trump on the Couch", agrees with Kirschner. In a recent conversation here at Salon, Dr. Frank told me that:

He gives permission to unstable people to carry out their grievances at a murderous level. This is not just because violent people love Trump, but because they are following Trump's stated practice of striking back "ten times as hard" with any means available when he feels wronged.

I'm beginning to think a warning, or even a gag order, is not sufficient. He needs to be secured where nobody can hear his genuinely dangerous outpourings. And it needs to be now.

It's time to believe Donald Trump

 

For those who think a conviction by 12 jurors is simple I ask you to reconsider. Its the end game to nearly every assignment I work on every day, you simply don't jump the gun unless you want to risk losing. I get it, you get frustrated by the "slow wheels of justice" (as my clients similarly feel) but complainers rarely are the ones who bear the risk of an adverse verdict.

 

Yep, and this evidence is coming in two weeks!

 

Merrick Garland handed the whole thing off to Jack Smith, removing the politics from the issue.

 

If you don’t have Mojo Nixon
Your store could some fixin’

 

From his first day on the job (and the alternative facts bullshit about inauguration attendance numbers) and well before that, Trump has lied continuously. From the comical covfefe to the pandemic and all the rest. He has become a laughingstock and danger to the country.

Fuck him and his bat-shit crazy base that believed alternative facts (those are falsehoods people). Fuck them for believing there was even token election fraud, let alone widespread election fraud leading to the Jan. 6 insurrection debacle. Fuck them in 2016, fuck them in 2020, Fuck them on Jan. 6, 2021. Fuck them today, tomorrow, next week and for the next 335,000 weeks.

 

I really think this woman needs to go to prison for what she’s done to this country, Perhaps she should be executed.

 

Twitter didn't allow enough characters for the rest of the quote ... "But I will vote for him if he is the Republican nominee."
