Because he failed?
Yeah, what a tosser.
Should have been sentenced to target practice.
How do you miss something that orange and that fat?
He didn’t miss because he never fired.
Oh yeah the other attempt was staged bullshit, that’s what I was thinking of.
Where the fuck did they get the judge? Good men can kill for good reasons
The judge is Aileen Cannon. You know the judge that openly obstructed and has admitted bias towards helping Trump. When Smith testified to Congress he even talked about how she was a key player in delaying every part of the process of charging Trump.
That’s not how a society built on laws work, and the judge would be abdicating his duty if he let him off light.
Besides, he is MAGA, and I suspect that whole situation was set up as a PR boost for Trump. He’s the fall guy anyway.
We don’t live in a society built on laws anymore
It was built on them. Doesn’t mean they’re still working.
Laws aren’t black and white, they’re always open to interpretation and discretion. It’s why jury’s exist, it’s why lawyers exist, it’s why the courts exist, it’s why the police exist.
If allowances aren’t made, it’s not a lawful society.
You’re wanting to go back to Monarchy/dictatorship, which is where one person rules and makes the decisions.
The law’s pretty clear in this case.
What you’re saying is really that breaking the law was justified, something that the legal system has no concept of and never can.
This has nothing to do with dictatorship; all democracies are built on the rule of law, which means the if you break the law (and are caught) you suffer the punishment.
It’s actually the opposite: Discretionary exceptions to the law are a hallmark of authoritarian societies where those with power let their friends off the hook, but punish their enemies harshly. Maybe you can think of some examples in recent times in the US.
I support him, but we really should be focusing on the oligarchs.
They have less security and it would be more effective to show them that they are not immune to the damage they’re causing others.
Oh sure, he doesn’t get a pardon…
That’s going to be reduced on appeal.
