I didn't say that. But I do believe that it's impossible to ever have a fair and unbiased jury for him due to who he is.

You "forget" judges can overturn jury verdicts if they blatantly ignore the law. And I didn't see you have a hissy fit over Trump judges blatantly ignore the law in his favour.

And even you bad faith Trump deranged people MUST at the very least agree with that.
The process of jury selection allowed the defense to select anyone who they thought would be favorable or empathetic to their cause. If they couldn't find a single one in a two day selection, then you may just have to admit that the other evidence did enough to convince everyone.

To continue your point, how DO you give a trial to someone who is reviled almost universally? You seem to think it's impossible, but that still leaves a potentially guilty person without charges.

Give him a trial in a purple state? That's just special pleading. The law doesn't work that way.

How could Trump ever get a fair trial, especially one in New York when there's deranged people like you on the jury. Picture the people such as yourself who seethe with hated about the guy, now you're in court to decide whether he raped someone? You've already decided what your decision is. The entire thing is a farce. And it was a civil case not a criminal case AND he wasn't even "liable" for rape.

The defence AND the prosecutor gets to try to pick a jury that will lean more to their favor. You're literally proving my point. We're getting off topic onto something else entirely but yeah I think the system is flawed but it's the best one we got I suppose. Ideally I'd like for any person under trial to have their identity actually hidden. That way no bias or prejudice would affect the outcome. No sexism/racism/ageism/religious bias/etcetc. Just a focus on the case. But that's unrealistic and impossible to implement. The same would be great for job applications or anything where people need to be picked by a group really.

As for this deranged anti trumper I'm not defending trump my point works both ways. I don't think you could find a jury that wouldn't be biased against him, I also don't think you could find a jury that wouldn't entirely be supportive of him either. Due to the nature of who he is and his fans/detractors.

I like watching 99% of the late night shows. Colbert, Conan O Brian, Jon Stewart, Fallon all great and informative. The one i cannot stand though is Jimmy Kimmel. Massive hypocrite and just as bad as the wannabe pervert in chief, maybe worse because he is pretending to be like the other late show guys when he really isnt. Used to host probably the sleaziest show on tv for years back in the 2000s (The Man Show) that any mention of it on his youtube twitter or other social media pages he has will get you an instant ban and blacklist, rather than him explaining himself. Dont believe me, just watch this for an example. Out of most of human common sins, hypocrisy is one of the ones that pisses me off the most. I know Trump was on epsteins list, but i would not be surprised if Kimmel was a regular visitor also.





Didnt shy away from cheap racist crap either.

Great idea! But yeah, a little tricky to implement.. You'd have to keep the names of people out of any testimonies. Company names would be brought down to descriptions of what the company does.

But yeah, that would be great for lowering the disparity between white and black criminals getting varying penalties.

Well yes, it's a two way street for trying to get as close to impartial as possible. In the first day of selection, there were over 100 people who willfully said they couldn't be jurors because they'd be biased. Or others who feared for their lives. Again, all it would take is a single juror to slip through the cracks, and there were none.

By that logic, behaving as an asshole grants you immunity from prosecution.

The law doesn't work by that logic. And I've seen a link not two pages ago in which a judge explains that yes, it was rape.

I still want to know how this rando psycho somehow knew exactly where Dumpo was supposed to be - since apparently this was a sudden spur of the moment thing for the felon to go golfing there

Why am i not surprised dumbo would say something like this, surprised it took him this long in the election cycle to say it since we all knew this is what he is planning if america is stupid enough to reelect him. Boast about WINNING BIGLY, how GREAT he is then prosecuting not only his enemies, but all the people who counted votes in the 2020 election because the big baby didnt get the result he wanted. Dump are you gonna get the secret service to cease counting in the states they are in, and tell them to dump them all at Mar-A-Lago so you can throw the votes out that arent voting your wretched ass? Thanks for the reminder Don Jung-Un. I aint american but this is another reminder, that if you are and you dont like him, make sure to get out and VOTE in november. Especially if you live in a swing state like Michigan or Pennsylvania.

He's been through the legal system at least once, he should know it doesn't work that way by now....

Honestly if i was a US prosecutor id go after Trump over the election interference and trying to get states to change votes in favor of him from 2020 over the as much as i believe it, the rape case. Rapes as disgusting as they are a common crime unfortunately in america, tampering with election results to get himself a second term against the will of the people is a far more serious crime, and one where they have far more proof on that they can get to stick

how do trump fans not see that if he wins, his scrutiny worked, if he loses, it failed
like, there is no possibility that trump can lose fairly, it can only be a PLOT, a TRICK
like, imagine if it actually went down fairly, trump just straight lost
how would that be proven to any of you, how would that meaningfully be communicated
we all saw the court cases in 2020, man's team had nothing, they just talked big when he couldn't be done for perjury
man has never won the popular vote, not even against hillary
how do we even reach you
