Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

Please. If you have an implicit political bias, never mind an overt one, would mean you are biased and therefore unsuitable to enusure a fair trial. This is basic common law here.

Thats absurd.   But it's telling.  An alt-right person assumed that a Democrat would instinctively and maliciously screw a Republican even when sworn to be impartial.  And that Alt Right person feels that way because its how they would act.  Intriguing.  Its really like how Trump always accuses people of doing what he has done.  Its fascinating.

If you removed Democrats.....and Republicans from all juries.....for potential bias....you would have a mighty small jury pool, for everything.

Come on. That’s ridiculous. No one suggested removing Democrats and Republicans.  
 

Just remove Democrats.    

Challenging jurors for bias is the responsibility of the defence counsel.

If Stone doesn't have adequate representation, that's his problem. Dude is rich and can afford whatever attorneys he wants. He apparently picked poorly. 

It's just like a right winger to want the state to insulate people from the impact of their choices.

Still waiting on your explanation of the million illegal votes, btw.

It was 3 million, and they were all biased.

You know this is a lie, right?  Are you suggesting that had Cohen named Trump, that you would agree Trump is a criminal, should be charged with a felony and removed from office?  

If Cohen HAD named Trump then Trump would be named as a co-conspirator even if he couldn't be charged. Cohen didn't name him, so Trump can't be named as a co-conspirator in the crime, that is what the law says and what was discussed at length when Cohen rolled over on him. Now do you see the difference? Once again false news making **** up that never happened.

Except that's not all they dug up... why do you ignore that? That's even with the White House with the aid of the DOJ and Senate Republicans prevent witnesses from talking... 

 

So I say again, stand up and pull your head out of your ass.

That's funny I don't recall the articles of impeachment charging him any specific crime? You have been reading false news again.

Actually he named Trump in sworn testimony.  And it was detailed in his case.

There was never any doubt that “Individual 1” was President Donald Trump. But now, in his testimony before the House Oversight Committee Wednesday, Cohen has confirmed it.

“I pled guilty in federal court to felonies for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in coordination with ‘Individual 1,’” Cohen said, reading from his prepared statement. “And for the record: ‘Individual 1’ is Donald J. Trump.”

Now, do you understand?

Just because you dont know how impeachment works, thats not any one else's fault.

He alleged there was a crime I asked him what it was, where's the problem?

For starters, we know Trump committed crimes.  

Secondly, impeachment isnt a criminal trial.

Thirdly, what trump was charged with are violations of the constitution.  If you want to argue they dont actually fall under the criminal code, fine, but thats an obtuse argument to make.  He was charged with crimes against his oath and the constitution.  I mean sure, its not a BJ in the Oval office, but some people think bribery is a crime.

I'll ask again, what was the crime in the articles of impeachment he is referring too?

then it must not be true.  

oh yeah, one more thing about jury bias -- dude was convicted by unanimous vote of all the jurors, as the English common law demands.  Which tells me that the jury was entirely composed of:

a) Soros clones grown in a secret Venezuelan lab

b) robolesbian deep state gun confiscators

c) members of the UN Permanent Committee On Baby Tissue Resale

d) those Portland pastors who provided sanctuary to Mexican Gender-Quaida

e) refugee lizards from Alpha Centauri

f) Socks Clinton

Evidence of the rest is coming any minute now I'm sure.

Click on it a bunch.  If Trump wants to advertise in Canada, might as well redirect some of the marks' money to Rich.

Everyone on MBB voted for Clinton in the 2016 election. I made sure of that.
