  1.  @nrdy2theXtreme  so, Article I of the Constitution was repealed, specifically Section 8?

  2. What I love is the ones that scream about states rights, but when a state exercises those rights in ways they don't like, they suddenly proclaim that the states have no such rights.

  3. OK, in order to travel, speak, exercise religion or irreleigion, travel or vote, you need to be assessed by a panel. Since the Constitution is in abeyance anyway, why carry those traditions forward? You'll need government panel approved travel orders to cross the street. Stop trying to fight fascists by fascism.

  5.  @BrandiDonald  the problem is, businesses operate to generate a profit. Run a country to generate a profit, one sells out the populace for cheap.

  10. Why do you fixate upon one asset out of many? It's unlikely he'd encumber one asset, rather than multiple, which he can also do multiple times and just at worst, have liens, rather than seizures and liquidation until a significant amount comes immediately due.

  12.  @kathrynboyd4448  well, he got his discount and free service, got a bit taken off the side for his trouble. Wanna bet he's going to go back to stiffing cities again? Then, blaming them for "canceling" him because he refuses to pay his bills...

  16. We've never had a system of justice, we have a legal system, which fixates upon what is legal over that which is right and wrong morally. Makes sense, as moral views are variable, legal views tend to have more constraints, as the laws are written, not unwritten "I know it when I see it" crap.

  17.  @cathleenbodiker9292  not for national security violations. Those have mandatory sentencing.

  18.  @glennmartin1632  immunity means we have a king and nothing is illegal for that king. That's more than any other king in human history has had.

  21. Why would you want to help Trump achieve his goal of eliminating the US Constitution? One has a right to appeal, removing that right literally neutralizes the Constitution and hence, the foundation of all laws in the land.

  22.  @brendasnow8255  it grinds their gears and it's geographically accurate, as South Africa is decidedly an African nation. Still, it's fair, we had an African-American president, now we've got an African president.

  24.  @donnarobertson252  yeah, he'd be hating life if he tried that non-answer with me. "Yes, it's a stupid question, which is why I asked you the question, stupid question for a stupid person, now kindly actually answer it".

  25. I'd laugh if the judge instead admits to an error and the amount due being even more.

  26.  @feedingravens  the funny thing is, the founders greatly admired Rome. Not the Rome of the Roman Empire, but the Rome of the Roman Republic. They wanted to avoid an Imperium, but emulate all of the best parts of the Republic. They framed our Constitution in the way that they did to avoid ever risking having an emperor. And they were successful until just recently, when a fair sized part of this nation would gladly throw our values under the bus in favor of a huckster from New York, whose every uttered word thus far and at least back to 2yk when I met him, to be a lie - so consistently does he lie that I feel to this very day that when he introduced himself, I should've carded his ass.

  27.  @heikechilds2816  battery remains a felony and if tolerated without punitive action, is encouraged. So, yes, he should be charged with the felony and upon conviction, most states won't allow him to vote until his sentence is completed. Then, it's up to the various states laws whether or not he remains disenfranchised.

  28. And utterly impossible. We have 67 counties in PA, he'd have had to travel to each ballot counting center in each county and manually log into those computers one by one, as they're not networked by design. Just more smokescreen BS.

  29.  @nancymarquis3943  they care only about the laws and Constitution, as is established in their own oaths. That is how it should be, because while it's not a perfect system, it's hands down better than any other system that's been utilized throughout human history and gradually improves. For the preamble of our Constitution said it all and still proudly says, "We the People of the United States, in order to establish a more perfect union". It doesn't say establish a perfect union, it by suggesting establishing a more perfect union admits to imperfection and the Constitution itself allows itself to be amendmended for that purpose. Such objections as above and other extremist speech and suggested actions are giving me grave reservations as to the viability of our continued union, which bodes ill for the nation, for how would nuclear armed powers interpret widespread domestic unrest or even civil warfare in a nuclear armed nation? I know from my own military experience, a first strike would be strongly recommended to neutralize a growing threat. Turning a disastrous wreck into a wreck upon a wreck. And fear drives civilians mad, always. Military learn to suppress fear and make rational decisions, lest things fall into chaos and death, civilians never had that terrible privilege.

  30.  @Swedishpolymath  they're loyal to their campaign contributors, not the populace. So, threats to vote for someone else is like telling YouTube that you'll take your video based social media elsewhere. Let me know how well that turns out for you. At least I know where the IRBM's are stored.

  31. Germans still eat raw pork products today - only from trusted butchers. Seriously. I've had it, I've also had undercooked pork, much to my irritation. Thankfully, the butcher was well trained and diligent for the raw pork products I had in Germany and the undercooked pork, well, I was lucky.

  34.  @AJefferson-r5o  it's a religion now. They chose their new god-king, who reigns over all other gods, thinking they'll gain power and wealth, all while becoming more powerless and impoverished by his grifts. But, people pathologically loathe to admit when they're wrong.

  42. And we invaded Canada twice, ended hilariously both times, with our armies being escorted back to the border in the end. Hell, in one of the invasions, Benedict Arnold was wounded. I swear, Trump is likely the only human on the planet that could make the Pope swear like the proverbial sailor.

  44. Making war against the United States before two eyewitnesses to the overt act that will testify in open court. We lack an enemy, as Congress hasn't declared war since WWII. It's literally the only crime listed in the Constitution. Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

  45. I dunno, Scooby Doo villain or maybe Dick Dastardly. Hell, Muttly was smarter than Trump.

  46. Nope. First, treason is narrowly and precisely and indeed, is the only crime defined within the US Constitution. Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. So, the individual must have taken up arms against officers of the US government to make war. The portion regarding enemies is irrelevant, as Congress has declared no war, hence the US has no enemies and adversaries are not mentioned, so also irrelevant. Such a charge would be invalid and indeed, attempting to prosecute such knowingly is a crime. Still, for giggles, the penalties: Article III, Section 3, Clause 2: The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted. 18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES From Title 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ... §2381. Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.) Historical and Revision Notes Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§1, 2 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §§1, 2, 35 Stat. 1088). Section consolidates sections 1 and 2 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. The language referring to collection of the fine was omitted as obsolete and repugnant to the more humane policy of modern law which does not impose criminal consequences on the innocent. The words "every person so convicted of treason" were omitted as redundant. Minor change was made in phraseology. Editorial Notes Amendments 1994—Pub. L. 103–322 inserted "under this title but" before "not less than $10,000". §2382. Misprision of treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.) Historical and Revision Notes Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §3 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §3, 35 Stat. 1088). Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative. Editorial Notes Amendments 1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $1,000". There's more for insurrection, sedition, etc. There's a bunch more, but these sections covered Trump and his all girl band. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title18/part1/chapter115&edition=prelim Our laws aren't hard to find, the US Constitution trivial to find and everything is in plain English.

  48. The Constitution is clearly written, in plain language and is trivially available online. So, why are you asking random strangers questions that you could trivially answer for yourself with a very short read of a rather short Constitution? The citizens have no right to a trial of another - period, the defendant has a right to a fair and speedy trial. The defense can request delays for various reasons, to ensure that the defendant receives the best possible defense, as the Constitution requires. That Trump and his attorneys are abusing those rights is readily apparent, but also not quite unlawful.

  49.  @maryegarcia2432  erm, the Supreme Court in the US cannot pardon anyone. They also have to follow the laws of the jurisdiction a case is heard in and abide by jury decisions or the entire court system and Constitution collapses without worth. As he's had trouble bonding his case already, an appeal isn't exceptionally likely when he'll get yet another decision against him and as a repeated juror, I'd frankly be doubling the award for this offense. Just keep awarding, when the only thing he still owns is only his clothing, maybe the press will stop holding up his latest shiny and giving him attention.
