Mr. T was convicted unanimously on 34 felony counts. By a jury of his peers. For breaking laws that were on the books for decades. Some of his administration picks are convicted criminals as well. In T-appointed judges' courts. So if anyone is for "law & order" - how do these convicts get a thumbs-up in the eyes of anyone???
Here's a FACT that's been in the news. For all those who say the DOJ is only out to get Republicans, the last 5 or 6 major political cases were against DEMOCRATS. And those folks deserve to get punished if they did break any laws. So how is that biased in favor of Democrats if the DOJ is only out to get Republicans??? The Dems seem to be getting lots of attention from DOJ prosecutors. (or is that OK, since they're Dems? - but if a Republican is prosecuted - that's bias in the DOJ?????) How does anyone think like that? Crime is crime - no matter what side commits it.
I won't disagree with you Bill, on the guy protecting citizens in a subway. I don't care what color his skin was - black, white, or striped. A crook is a crook is a crook. Same goes for political parties and anyone in any of them. The only way we get things right is to apply the laws - as they've been established on the books - to everyone ..... and not look the other way for any political figure we happen to like in any given moment. If we change our laws to suit any political whims or pressures - we lose "the rule of law" - and all of us become subject to the "flavor-of-the-day" dictated by whoever is in power at a given time. By any definition, that's not law & order. That's the kind of "law" places like Russia, China, N. Korea, Iran, etc. have in place. What if Dems had control of all 3 branches of government - would it be OK if they changed laws, judges, fired everyone at the DOJ, FBI, and went after any Republicans they didn't like?? Hell no, it wouldn't be right or ethical. IMO - if a D, an R, an I, an L, or Green Party person breaks any laws - they're a crook. PERIOD. No special treatments based on politics.
The idea / thought process where if their guy does "X" - he's a crook, needs to be in prison - - - - but if our guy does the same "X" - that's no big deal ..... it's all made up ..... is called hypocritical corruption. The dictionary definition of a hypocrite is when anyone applies rules or laws to others - but not themselves. Fact.
I have no animosity toward anyone on here. My blood pressure is nice and low. I hate no one. God Bless the U.S.A. Have a good day all.
