Did orange man get due process on all of his indictments/convictions?

To my knowledge, yes he did receive due process.

I think a lot of this stems from the reality that some here(and many in the real world) have absolutely no idea what 'due process' means. Like no idea at all. Its odd that you would even ask this question since, you know, Trump wasnt just arrested and thrown in jail without trial or opportunity to defend himself.

But be sure to take another look at it in about six months and ride the rocket ship

This is the political equivalent of the old adage about a Mississippi State fan telling an Ole Miss to "just wait till next year". We are getting the stem-winding **** clocked out of us today, but golly-g-wilikers it's gone get better!

I see a lot of y’all complaining but not doing your part.

You could just say "I don't know what the hell I'm talking about" and save some keystrokes.

I’ll be the selfish one. I care about my portfolio. I don’t care what countries we subsidize, what they charge us on US imports, etc. I care about increasing my net worth over time. I hope Trump can prove me wrong, but right now he’s quickly destroying any goodwill he had from his first term in about 4 months.

I don't know how much room the middle has to pay extra taxes though. While the math definitely says that the highest earners pay the bulk of taxes (and IMO should given the current state of income/wealth distribution) we have to look at what juice is left for squeezing. Middle class is simply tapped out.

They have a good bit of room if you look at other countries. We'll just be poorer, like most other countries are.

We have been wasting a lot of money and also spending a lot of money while promising future taxpayers are going to pay for it and acting like there is no cost to that. We are rapidly approaching the point where we can't keep pushing the costs onto future taxpayers.

Ok, I see the issue here- you still dont understand the difference between gender and sex.
Viewing your gender in whatever way you view it isnt a lie.

And claiming it hurts you is the 17ing weakest cry excuse claim I have read in forever. Ironic that you are weakly claiming it hurts you in a conversation about gender roles and stereotypes.
It doesnt hurt you and it doesnt hurt everyone, despite your empty claim.

Once more, gender and biology are different. You said 'you cannont change your biology' and that is not what I have been talking about since gender and biology are not the same thing.
How can you seriously not understand this by now? 17 man, at least argue the correct thing if you are going to argue.

I understand everything you're saying. I think you're stupid. Does that clear it up?

Don't sweat it. POTUS says that if you will just hold tight with those portfolio positions for another 50 years, you will come out alright.

And my dri-fit t-shirts will be made in Alabama instead of Vietnam and cost 2x more. Awesome.

So you understand everything, but you choose to use the incorrect words when discussing what you dislike? That is some odd behavior, but ok then.
Part of what makes this country great is we are free to be dicks to others. Just because we have the power doesnt mean we should use the power, but it is there nonetheless.

Just gonna slap this up as a re-repost on page 5 since it nobody has felt like they are up for the challenge so far. Dont want it to go unnoticed by someone with answers...



Maybe if I repost this, the SPS collective brain trust will see it and opine...



Back to tariffs - can someone give me a serious answer on why Trump included multiple unpopulated island groups(one with a military base), and why some islands that are part of countries are listed separate from the countries they are part of?

I am a map nerd and had to look up a few of the places Trump included on his boards.

Heard and MacDonald Islands - uninhabited. 4 day boat ride from Australia to reach em(just learned that last night when I looked up where the 17 these are).
Christmas Island - this is an Australian territory. Just include it with Australia.
Mayotte - some tiny island east of Africa that is run by France. Just include it with France.
BIOT - This is a handful of Atolls in the Indian Ocean that is British Territory. They are Atolls!! Why in the glory17 is this listed? Just include it with Britain. THERE ARE NO RESIDENTS AND THE ONLY PEOPLE LIVING THERE TEMPORARILY ARE BRITISH AND AMERICAN MILITARY!
Gibralter - this is a British territory. Just include it with Britain.
Reunion - another tiny French island. Once more, just include it with France.
Svalbard and Jan Mayen - I dont know how to say this or even understand who controls the land. 30 seconds on Google shows it might be Norway, but its a partnership? Anyways, why the 17 is it specifically called out at all?

How this thread makes the Ole Devil feel. I mean there has been great information given by some obviously very educated people that have taught me more about tariffs in the last 30 minutes than I have known. Then there is the usual bs. Libs on one side being as condescending as possible, and conservatives giving it right back to them. I know civil discourse is dead, but that fact alone just hurts my heart. I feel like Mark Baum when he says this does not make me happy. It actually makes me very sad to know that we can not have a good-faith discussion.

It's more like a one-sided system of justice, rather than a due process issue

Its pretty simple to see that there are drastic fundamental differences between the article you linked and many of the deportation stories that are coming out(yet sadly not taking over) in news.

Trump Administration has justified, in video form and not edited, that Due Process isnt a concern or priority.

You seem to be very worried about due process. Where was this worry for the people who "stormed the capital building" many who were elderly and invited by capital police by the way, who were not allowed their due process. They were US citizens and the Biden administration kept them in roach filled cells where they had to sleep on concrete for 4 years. Come on, shed the tears for those people too since you're all worried about due process.

 

[HailStout]

But you’re completely nonplussed about the obesity epidemic and big pharma’s outsized influence on the med school graduates. Cool.

Dude, how the hell do you know that about me? I counsel my patients on weight loss everyday. I refuse lunches from pharm reps because I despise that system.

What scares me about him is his complete denial of fact based medicine and his fear mongering about vaccines. I don’t disagree with his thought process towards process foods and so forth. But that doesn’t affect me near as much as his attitude towards medicine in general. And do me a favor, don’t accuse me of not practicing good medicine. It’s uncalled for and you don’t know me.

The fact the Clintons have never been convicted of a felony and Trump has tells you all you need to know.
I was a Clinton fan at the time by the way. But good grief.

For better or worse, the United States treated prisoners the way the United States treats prisoners.

So we don't let any prisoners get lawyers? Or have a speedy trial guaranteed to us by the Constitution?

Stock Market has been inflated ever since Barry was running the show.

Trump is bringing balance to the Universe.

So what if we lose a hand, or a few limbs, get burned so bad we have to wear a black uniform and a cool mask in order to breath.

He's the chosen one!

The fact remains. An incredible increase in autism and other things since the vaccines. Is it causation? Maybe not. Does it need to be researched? Abso17n lutely!!
