    Soros contributes the money in races where $1 million makes a big difference. His successful candidates refuse to prosecute violent offenders because woke politics mean more than public safety.

    I hope he doesn’t kill someone you care about.

    I will point out-- since you obviously lost track of what you were talking about-- that your original post, suggested potential criminal activity, by the DA. That bolded word, is the important one, here. I then asked, in my response:
    DEFinning said: ↑

    How could the district attorney's actions, even possibly, be "criminal?"

    It should be expected, then, that your reply would list some, at least potential crimes, of which there was any sane reason to wonder, if DA Bragg might culpable. Instead, you talk of my "marketing," which means nothing to me, as well as speculate about voters changing their votes, in some scenario-- neither of which, answers, or even addresses, the question, as to what crimes, you had thought it possible, Bragg had committed. Your contention about Trump never having reimbursed Cohen, is sheer fantasy, but is irrelevant, in & of itself. Do I need to offer you a list of crimes, so that you know, to what I am referring, and to what you had referred, knowingly or not, when you had posted:

    drluggit said: ↑
    Given the prosecutorial overreach here, the obvious political prosecution being staged here, did you want a moment to address how you think this behavior by the prosecutor is appropriate?
    If his actions are in fact criminal, should he not also suffer the force of law and have his own freedoms put in jeopardy and be arrested and put in jail? Do you suppose that he is somehow above the law? If so, why?
    <End Quote>


    Your assertions of Bragg's misdeeds, had been "prosecutorial overreach"-- which is not a crime, per se-- and "political prosecution." Again, there is no criminal statute, I am sure, laying out a crime with this name. That is not to say that, in the undertaking of a purely political prosecution, a DA could not possibly break the law. That is what you had seemed to be contending; and that is what I had asked you to specify. The gobbledy-gook you replied, failed to do that.

    Would you be able to do any better, given a second shot at it? If there had been any serious underpinning to your original suggestion, please tell us both the actions you have some foundation for believing Bragg possibly took, and what crimes these would qualify as.

    Since Bragg has yet to indict Trump, however, any charges you make of false prosecution, or the like, would clearly be baseless.

    you do understand that someone can attack a woke DA who seems to be politically motivated without being a hard core Trump supporter

    So you have already claimed, without evidence. I guess, in MAGAworld, repeating the same, unsubstantiated claims, counts for something? This is how propaganda works, not debate.

    Contributing-- which you've yet to even document-- is not a crime, AFAIK. There are, however, still some campaign finance laws, & $1 million donations are surely illegal; so the good news, for you, is that if you are not spouting absolute nonsense, and could back up even your first charge, you could do heavy damage, to all of those "radical" DAs. There are probably additional regulations, applying to foreign donations. Funny, then, if this is such a well-known fact, that nothing has ever come of it, and even you, the alleger, has offered no evidence of it, in 3 posts, laying the accusation.

    Separately from your libelous conspiracy con, about spooky Soros, the idea that these DAs refuse to prosecute violent felons is another unbelievable fable, which you repeat, without substantiation. I have already given your joke of an accusation, more attention than it merits-- include some proof, the next time you repeat your dissembling slurs, or I am not interested in reading more of your hoax.

    Since you are the one talking about him, common sense says that you would be the one with stronger feelings, of one kind or another, about him.

    When you will not listen to any part of the argument from the other side, and label their points as “fables,” dabating you is useless. Crime rates are up on many large cities including New York, Chicago (which was why Lorie Lightfoot lost), Los Angeles and San Francisco (which why the DA was recalled). But have your way.

    As I have repeatedly pointed out: you are not presenting an "argument," only unsupported accusations. I have, in fact, appealed to you, if you had any basis for your charges, to present that argument.

    If somebody in that position falsifies or suppresses evidence to the Grand Jury intentionally, they should ABSOLUTELY be in jail. His desire to satisfy his raging TDS doesn't justify mis-conduct.

    As I posted, we are so far apart that a dialog is impossible. I point out to you people like Lori Lightfoot and the DA in San Francisco lost their positions because of crime. You tell me I’m stupid. All you want is for me to cave to you. Otherwise, forget it.

    Good bye.

    No, I say that you traffic in falsehoods, and this is a perfect example. Here is my quote, you used for this post:

    DEFinning said: ↑
    As I have repeatedly pointed out: you are not presenting an "argument," only unsupported accusations. I have, in fact, appealed to you, if you had any basis for your charges, to present that argument.

    <End>

    Where in it, do I tell you that you are stupid? Where, in any of my posts, do I say such a thing? So your post shows how baseless and unreliable are accusations, coming from your mouth.

    Once more, there is no factual basis, to your stating what I supposedly want you to do. In truth, to anyone who can read, I have only wanted you to support your accusations, with evidence; to give your own Sources, for your information. One cannot debate an issue against someone, making up their own, unverifiable "facts."

    Evidence

    The crimes rates are up in most all of the major cities. That is a fact. It’s why Lorie Lightfoot lost in Chicago. The DA was recalled in progressive San Francisco because he would not prosecute criminals. People were sick of it. Are those facts or “arguments?”

    The no bail laws in New York State failed. Crime is up and the police are frustrated because because they arrest the same criminals because the crooks have learned that there are no consequences for their actions. Facts or “arguments?” If it’s “arguments” we are wasting our time because you blow off everything I write with a semantic word.

    You keep blowing me off with one word, “evidence.” The statistics are there if you want to look at them, but you don’t. You have a romantic notion about criminals and how it’s unfair to incarcerate people of color and maybe White people who comment crimes. There big difference between racial discrimination for hiring, promotion, housing, civil rights and all the rest, and violent offenders. Violent offenders destroy neighborhoods and cities.

    If that’s an “argument,” then we have nothing to discuss. You can go off to your ivory tower, and others can live in realty.

    Sources do have their place but so does common knowledge. We are flooded with so much information there is a time our own brain takes over and tells us what we can accept. One can find a "source" for about anything one wants to believe. If you want to disprove a thing, you can always find a fact checker to do it then call it "disinformation". It is an uphill battle against those who want to play that game. We can fight it though. Sometimes it's not worth it.

    The corruption of the left in this witch hunt of Trump absolutely is jail worthy. I doubt it will ever happen though.

    Engaging in a conspiracy to unjustly deprive another of their rights, is a felony.
    Rand Paul is right. He generally is.

    Here he is tearing into Blinken. If only the press were this prepared and tenacious.
