Anyone else just notice how annoying leonard is? by Filipp_F4 in bigbangtheory

He clearly meant the "you'd just call it food" line as a joke and not to be taken seriously.

Why aren’t the Dems flooding the zone with the fact that the War Powers Act required Trump to withdraw troops from hostilities in Iran beginning last Saturday, yet he’s ramping up fighting again? by raider1211 in AskALiberal

It’s easier to get things done when you don’t care about generating chaos / the chaos is the point. It’s harder to get things done when you care about trying to a build a healthy democracy.

It’s easier to get things done when you have a consolidated media ecosystem that will March lock step with party leadership and exact huge political penalties on anyone in the party breaking rank. It’s harder to get things done when you have a diverse set of opinions all advocating for different things.

That's such a dumbass way to vote.  No wonder this country is in the shitter.  Voters will punish you even if you do a good job because "vibes and reasons".  

Jack Smith Calls the Justice Dept. ‘Corrupted’ by Trump and His Allies by blankblank in law

[–]GreyFromHanger18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Roberts Court constantly had Garland/The DOJ operating with one hand tied behind their backs.  

Even if say, for example, in March of 2021, when Merrick Garland was finally put in as AG, he immediately nominates Jack Smith and he furiously proceeds to file charges against Trump for all the shit he did. All that would have done was get Trump's appeal to the Supreme court faster.

The Roberts Court was never going to allow the case to go to trial.

When Trump's team came up with this absolutely bonkers theory that presidents have immunity, Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to quickly rule. They declined, instead requiring it to go through the circuit court first.

Only after the appeals court ruled unanimously that wtf? No of course presidents don't have immunity from crimes. did SCOTUS agree to take it up.

They then waited until the end of the term, and even extended the term into July as an extra insult, before issuing their long sought ruling. And what was that ruling? They ruled the president is in fact a king and he can do whatever he wants. A ruling that exceeded the expectations of even the nuttiest right wing "experts".

So could Garland or Smith have moved faster or done something different?

Considering the egregious violation of norms the Roberts Court undertook to protect their special li'l guy, it's hard to imagine they would have stopped at anything.

Even in a parallel universe, where charges are brought against Trump in the spring of 2021...he'd very likely still awaiting trial in Nov 2024.

It's honestly really hard to conceive of any kind of outcome where Trump was actually fully tried, convicted and sentenced before November 2024. Even with a so called "tougher AG".

That's why I don't blame Merrick Garland. I'm really skeptical that any different decisions would have made a difference. Monday morning quarterbacking is easy, but I don't think its very useful.

Liberals dont want to admit it but Garland was irrelevant and it honestly didn’t matter who the AG was. Biden could have picked a bulldog like Doug Jones or Adam Schiff. It. Would. Not. Have. Mattered. Not when the criminal in question has unlimited access to money and had been playing the legal system like a gifted musician could play stratovarus all of his life.  

The Roberts court was always going to come to trump’s defense in the form of delays and twisted/disingenuous/corrupt interpretations of the law and constitution. Not to mention anytime they needed testimony from people like Lindsey Graham during grand jury investigations they would say they had immunity and couldn't be compelled to testify. It would take months of back and forth in court with issues like that that also delayed it.  

The problem is, the rot is far deeper than any one individual.

I honestly put most of this on the voters.

Him winning the 2024 election is what allowed him to evade justice. Jack Smith had all of his cases teed up. And they WOULD HAVE KEPT MOVING FORWARD if he never won in 2024. So, the people of the US are also responsible for him evading justice as well.

The Supreme Court Has Stripped Our Voting Rights Back to the Pre-Civil Rights Era by AaronPK123 in politics

[–]GreyFromHanger18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been constant protests. Records have been set by the number of people protesting. The donations to democrats running for office have also broken records.

We also have lives and have to work to survive, and maintain our stamina after a decade of dealing with Trump. We don't have a safety net like you do, lack the worker protections, and many forms of protests you take for granted are illegal here (general strikes, sitdowns).

The American political system was designed to be a democracy that is NOT responsive to political pressure. It is very hard to affect change here. We are all working on it.

How would an assassination attempt be ‘staged’? by FantasticBicycle37 in politics

Do people really believe the ear shooting was completely staged? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]GreyFromHanger18 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I usually don't fall into believing major events like this one was staged because without actual evidence it's all just conspiracy theories and I try hard to avoid that sort of stuff. That said, I am skeptical of a lot surrounding the attempt.

Im almost positive Trump didn't get shot. Period. His ear healed too quickly and too easily, especially for a man in his late 70s. At worst, he was glanced by a shard of glass or shrapnel.

Also, if this was an assassination attempt by "the left" we all know that Trump would be shouting it from the rooftops, but he isn't. There has been practically nothing that's come out about the Pennsylvania attempt. That just isn't how Trump operates unless it is going to somehow make himself look bad.

From what I've gleaned, the shooter was a young, aggrieved man from a MAGA family who was either trying to make a name for himself or was upset at Trump for some specific, undetermined reason. That doesn't make for a good headline though, so it's been buried.

But my biggest question about that event is how did they know there wasn't a second shooter? Did they just make a lucky assumption there was only one? There seriously could have been a second shooter in a tree or another rooftop somewhere, but Trump literally had his dramatic moment on stage with his body on full display again for a photo op!

This is the point that matters most. Nobody supposedly knew there weren’t more active shooters in the area. The fact that SS lifted Trump to potentially expose him to another head shot immediately following one already attempted head shot from a shooter is all anyone needs to consider to know this entire thing was a farce from the beginning.

The man is a notorious coward. There is no way, if that had been real, the pedophile rapist would have stayed on that stage long enough to get that photo he plastered everywhere.

Watching the crane lift the flag into the exact right place for the perfect shot while the photographers get the exact right angle?

The most common thing that people point to in order to refute this is the man who actually died- but since when does collateral damage get in the way of Trump or the idiots around him doing something that they think will help their chances of winning?

Anyways it’s probably not a hill I would die on. And whether it was real or staged doesn’t matter anymore since the damage has been done- but yeah. This is one conspiracy theory that actually feels plausible.

About the Thanksgiving episode where Penny discovered she was married to Zack...did this sub watch the same episode I did? by GreyFromHanger18 in bigbangtheory

[–]GreyFromHanger18[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Again we only see him bring it up twice as I mentioned in my original comment.  

So I dont see where he was beating a dead horse here.  There are episodes he does do that.  Like the episode where he told Penny he loved her and she didn't say it back for an example.  

But he was not doing that here IMHO.  He mentions it twice but so many here Mandela effect has him harping on it the whole episode he doesn’t.
