    Over the past day sitting senators, congressmen, right wing news, and of course, the convicted felon candidate have all been spreading and amplifying the obvious disinformation by an admitted fake troll on facebook. There will be no acknowledgement from any that it was disinformation. Because none have any integrity... they will simply skip to the next batch of disinformation.

    It's pretty obvious. She was locking up people for weed as a DA. You know that though. You ignore it because it fits your narrative

    so because she was enforcing the laws that makes her as corrupt as trump? that’s ridiculous.

    for the record I think weed should be legal.

    She wasn't enforcing the lawa. She was going too far to get convictions. Again Trump is a scumbag. He deserves a long jail sentence. So does she. When people are like those two I stop wondering who is worse. We don't need people like them in power.

    Weed should definitely be be legal. Arresting people for that is absurd.

    So the issue was with the law. Enforcing laws, even if they are crappy laws isn't the same level of corruption as being a convicted felon for falsifying business records to help you win an election or putting forward a plot to put forward fake slates of electors and delaying certification of the vote determined by the will of the people to hold on to power and stay in office.

    You're not going to convince me she's a good person. I don't even think that you believe that. What Trump does is irrelevant. He is trash. So is she. Bwe are splitting hairs

    this should make peoples' heads explode. enjoy

    Yale law professor says Trump isn’t a convicted felon despite guilty verdict — here’s why

    https://nypost.com/2024/06/08/us-ne...icted-felon-despite-guilty-verdict-heres-why/

    excerpt:

    Despite media reports, Rubenfeld insisted that it’s “not true” that Trump is already a “convicted felon,” arguing that one is “not a convicted felon because of a jury verdict.”

    “You are not convicted until the judge enters that judgment of guilt. Now, in New York, it’s very likely that Judge Merchan will enter that judgment of guilt against Trump on the same day that he issues sentencing. That’d be July 11th.”

    Rubenfeld insisted there’s “one other avenue” Trump’s attorneys could take in combating the conviction — to sue in federal court and “ask for an emergency, temporary restraining order.”

    I am not trying to claim she is a good person. I have not made that claim.

    I am saying that she is nowhere near as corrupt as Trump and it isn't even close based on what you've posted. It isn't splitting hairs.

    Enforcing laws that suck is far different than trying to overturn an election of the nation in order to remain in power.

    This has to be the most ridiculous criticism of a political candidate I have ever seen. You think Harris should go to jail for enforcing existing laws while the district attorney (in SF)?

    That makes her as corrupt as trump, someone that has been convicted of 34 felonies? Someone that was adjudicated for sexual assault (the judge said rape)? Someone that was found to have committed fraud? Someone that is still under indictment for trying to overturn the election? Someone still under indictment for blatantly and willfully mishandling security documents? Someone that literally lies about everything and anything?

    Please child... just think about how utterly ridiculous you look.

    Could it be possible that maga congressman (and vp hopeful) stefanik is either not very truthful or not very smart?

    nobody here is trying to convince you she is a good person. im no fan of hers. youre the one who claimed her and trump are equally corrupt and your only citation of her corruption is that she vigorously enforced laws against weed. no reasonable person would suggest that is on par with trumps level of corruption.

    BTW, if mar1juana legalization is so important to you then how can you support any republicans? they are staunchly against it and the republican party position is to even oppose medical mar1juana. what about here in texas? we have several texas cities that voted to decriminalize and now state republicans are going after those cities and trying to nullify those policies.

    These are contradictory statements.

    Harris is a regular Joe/Jane politician. I see nothing so far to suggest otherwise.

    Whenever people say she's corrupt as hell, they don't show any actual evidence of it. Same here with you. I feel that all of you who don't provide backing (links to reports, news articles, etc.—please, no tweets, Facebook posts, Truth Social posts, or other social media) yet proclaim with certainty aren't being honest and are just repeating what others say mindlessly.

    I think people might be kind of morphing "corrupt" into "suss" or "not guided by pure moral integrity."

    So if Kamala (for the sake of argument) made job decisions in city roles or state roles that were better for her career than for her constituents (or low-level criminals suffering too harsh penalties, for example), then she is "shady" and therefore "just as bad as Trump," even though the actual laws of the land make a big huge difference in their behavior.

    Many politicians do the former. Not very many politicians commit felonies, get sued to kingdom come like nobody basically ever, etc. But, you know, "we love him because he ain't like the others." Okay, can't argue with exactly one half of that.

    So convicted felon has his first probation interview. Via zoom, with his lawyer with him. I have never been accused of a crime let alone convicted of one, but do probation meetings now happen via Zoom? Don't convicts need to provide urine samples? Or is this yet another way that trump is treated differently than others?

    Sadly, regular Joe/Jane politicians are 'corrupt' given that definition. They make decisions that benefit their careers more than their constituents. This isn't illegal but being a politician. There are few good politicians left.

    Right, there is a huge difference between regular Joe/Jane politicians and a truly corrupt individual like Trump. I would take the time to explain this to someone who honestly doesn't see the difference (I doubt there are really any left like this).

    'We love Trump because he's different'—not going to argue with that; people can believe whatever they want. Others' regular politicians are the same as him—eh, that's a no.
