New cancer: Trump-ism

[Taichiliberal]

This is a nice little tidbit ... it seems allegiance to Herr Trump is doing some serious damage to the GOP ticket across the country. Here's just one example:




Trump fuels high-stakes GOP civil war in Michigan


Michigan is home to a whopping 10 Trump-endorsed state legislative candidates—more than any other single battleground state. As Donald Trump prepares for a rally in the state this weekend, his onslaught of endorsements has made Michigan a proving ground for his power and relevance, according to Politico, even as several of his federal-level endorsees are either tanking or have already flamed out.

For Trump to claim dominance in the key battleground state, he has to score some big wins in Michigan's primaries and general elections at a time when his currency is flagging elsewhere. Trump has already cut and run from lackluster endorsees for Senate races such as Rep. Mo Brooks in Alabama, or in Pennsylvania, where his original pick left the race after losing custody of his three kids due to abuse allegations.

The men on trial for trying to kidnap Governor Whitmer have testified they were trying to help Trump.

was that the "men" undercover informants of the FBI?

Later, after returning to the Luther camp, Fox asked Bates if he would “take an IOU” for the $4,000 explosive, according to a recording.

Prosecutors said they could finish presenting evidence Tuesday, the 12th day of trial, or Wednesday at the latest.

Defense attorneys deny there was an actual plan to snatch Whitmer, claiming the men were improperly influenced by undercover agents and informants, and exchanged wild talk while smoking marijuana.

GMAFB! Every blessed time a bunch of assholes AGREE to do some nefarious deed, the defensive attorney essentially says that his clients are a bunch of easily lead dummies. To date, that strategy hasn't work.

Face it, kid ... your MAGA yahoos are going to jail.

2 have already plead. Going to trial is a loser move The deck is stacked when you plead entrapment
You have to look at the quality of their claims. the guy provided explosives and travel and egged them on.
I tend towards civil liberties,and take a dim view of FBI agents being in on the planning stage

So an agent could talk you into kidnapping Whitmer? It would not work on me.

I don't know what you base this fantasy on that pleading entrapment is a strong indication of dismissal of charges (hint: it isn't). Legal history tells a different story. Look it up. Also pleading to a lesser charge can entail lesser jail time ... no jail time if they can rat out MUCH bigger cheese.
Again, "egging them on" is NOT a defense. The FBI just didn't show up and organize these clowns, they INFILTRATED THEM. They had free will and are grown men...if they truly didn't want to do something, no one could have coerced them to...especially committing a capitol crime.

Your opinion means NOTHING in lieu of actions and evidence. Like it or not, your MAGA yahoos are going to jail.
