So if you voted "no" on constitutionality, are you intellectually compelled to vote "not guility", or do accept the verdict of your colleagues, and with an open heart and mind, listen impartially to the evidence as presented, and then and only then render a verdict?

I'll hang up and chuckle

At least one senator had his mind changed today.

Do a better job and maybe you get to 17.

Expected?

No.  Of course not.  This is all a dog and pony show to sway public opinion.

I'll give the Trump defense team, Castor and Schoen, a lot of credit for emotionally slinging a ton of bullshit at the wall.

Just forget about the attack on the Capitol.

I thought Castor was full of it but Schoen is litigating by bluster.

Schoen stipulating that the events of Jan 6th did occur and that they can be accurately categorized as a riot puts trump on the hook for class 3 felony incitement of a riot, putting the matter squarely into the high crime category as defined by Castor.

It’s no wonder trump will be stiffing these guys for whatever compensation they were expecting.

Trump's stiffing of people is not contingent upon their performance and never has been.

He was going to stiff them, regardless.

heh

pretty sure the tab isnt Trump's to pay

[facilitatorn]

Was trump aware of cadres of violent white supremacist insurrectionists who picked up on his plan to take what he wanted, the presidency?

“Stand back and stand by”

Mens rea. What he knew and when he knew it as he chose to inflame and invoke with his incitement.

Wether he was heedless of or desirous of the potential and realized cost in lives does not matter.

He’s a psychopathic idiot and once a man is confirmed as either a psychopath or an idiot, he should be barred from ever holding an office again.

Smart. A good step in ramping up school readiness in the wake of operation Warp Clusterfuck.

Jamie Raskin relating the unconscionable  use of the American flag as a spear¹ on Jan 6

(But never utters a public word when the flag is dragged along the ground or burned²)

Familiarize yourself with the term "false equivalency".

 The first¹ is an act of violence, and the latter² is an act of protest. 

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Raskin's comments were clearly denoting the "how could you?" level of the use of THE FLAG in such manner - the insult of it - which is EQUAL in each instance - even greater, I'd argue in the latter

Well go ahead and make an argument, then.

Explain how violence equals legitimate protest.

Still waiting for your argument, kid. Unless you want to prove Yank correct in his assessment of you, then, by all means, remain silent.

Pretty sure you're full of shit.

This is what Trump's been raising money for since Jan 6th, Kid, in theory. And note, it is he who is hiring or firing these jokers, not the Trump Campaign and not the GOP National.

Who do you think would be paying?!

The RNC put in $$ for the last time.

We've heard little or nothing about that this time around.

And it is still unlikely that these guys will get paid, especially if he is convicted, let alone then deprived of the right to occupy any federal office!

[facilitatorn]

There’s a theory they have no expectation of being paid. Instead they are doing this to suppress blackmail videos or because they have lost foolish bets.

People wear flag shirts, flag bandanas, flag socks, flag underwear... desecrating the flag is a non-issue.

Burning the flag in public is a totally different thing.
Anyone doing it should be arrested and sent to a re-education camp...nice one of course.
First re-education lecture should be the movie "Not Without My Daughter".

You're such a fascist.

Burning the flag in public would be a crime...subject to arrest and punishment.
The offenders should have to be educated.
Maybe a walk of shame...and one week of education lectures as to what exactly they were burning...then 12 months of every weekend cleaning city hall with a toothbrush.

It's not a crime. It's free speech.

Texas v. Johnson.

Run along now.

It should be a crime...and Congress should make it one.
National flag, national law.

It should be a crime more serious than 'public nuisance'.

Palm Beach man burns Australian flag in Brisbane’s Anzac Square

Mackenzie Ravn, Gold Coast Bulletin

A PALM Beach man has been arrested after burning the Australian flag in Brisbane’s Anzac Square today.

A police spokesman said officers were called to Anzac Square in Brisbane City about 10am following reports a man had brought a flag to the location and set it alight.

“They have attended and arrested a 66-year-old Palm Beach man and charged him with one count of public nuisance,” he said.

The man burnt the flag while standing near the Eternal Flame at Brisbane’s Shrine of Remembrance on the eve of Anzac Day.

The man will front Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow.

#####

bambu-ilk live in hope that flag burners will be seriously punished....well more seriously that "free speech" and "public nuisance" anyway.
"No conviction recorded" if they do their time with the toothbrush at city hall.

There are plenty of bambu-ilk in the west, 'screaming' with outrage every time their flags are shown being torched in public.

[barton]

Is this purr-jury... or just an online faux paw?

So you oppose free speech. No surprise there, Errol.

Burning the national flag is not speech, it's arson.
Turning to ashes all that the flag represents.
It should be a crime.
