      And if they make that argument, I’ll tell them that means they believe people are “guilty until proven innocent” and don’t deserve a trial by a jury of their peers, which is as unAmerican an idea as you can get.

        Not going to be useful. They don’t want a democracy, they don’t want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.

          Trust me, I am in Indiana. I’m surrounded by these flag-waving morons. You call them unAmerican and they lose their shit. And all I have to do is pull up the Bill of Rights.

            Either PBS or NPR had a thing a few years back where they’d read sections of the Bill of Right on air, as part of Independence Day celebrations.

            The right wing folks who heard it thought it was communist propaganda.

            I get all this talk about their rights yet they seem so fundamentally opposed to me having mine.

            These people are terrible citizens.

              No argument from me. As the person above said, they don’t want a democracy or a justice system. They are as bad a citizen you can get without actively sending classified information to a rival power.

              They’re downright bad people too. They dont get to do a few good deeds while trying to use political power to do away with human life and human rights without being called the moster they are.

            I love getting called a liberal pussy by civilian clowns that have never served a day. Pretty sure the government trained me to kill.

      No, according to DJT, “very innocent”, which is as reassuring as “a little bit pregnant”.
