@MindsOfE@RandPaul Ask anyone enough questions and they will contradict themselves. The innocent man tells police "I was at a party at 8" during the 3 hour interrogation. Turns out he got there at 8:15. Now police tell the jury he lied and must be guilty. He's better off saying nothing, like Fauci.
@MindsOfE@RandPaul 1. Rights exist precisely because of ambiguity and uncertainty. Would you risk your freedom on the assumption that the government will act in good faith and respect the law?
2. Rand Paul is fishing for "lies" told in testimony AFTER the pardon was issued, which isn't covered.
@MindsOfE@RandPaul 1. Trump has repeatedly argued the pardons were invalid because of the autopen nonsense.
2. Pardons only apply to federal crimes, not state crimes and not for perjury after the fact.
Innocent people plead the 5th too. Demonizing constitutional protections is low of Rand Paul.
@blonde4thewin@BurtMaclin_FBI@RoKhanna So what's the limit for Republicans? Surely they have a better record of taking violence against women seriously, and wouldn't elect a man who brags about grabbing women without their consent. But seems they chose Epstein's buddy over principled conservatives like Massie.
@mattforney@BlakeKresses First time? Never been to a Trump rally then? Massie got primaried because he dared to think for himself and help victims of sexual assault, and Trump just couldn't have that happening. The fact that MAGA is cheering on skyrocketing debt and big brother surveillance is telling.
@eatabillionaire@acnewsitics Also weird that they will complain plenty if you criticize Chuck Norris and say it's disrespectful, even though he also died of old age. I saw plenty of that yesterday.
@FenixAmmunition@ryangrim Careful who you call stupid, NONE of these IDs besides a passport suffice as proof of citizenship. That's a separate part of the bill. This is on the ID requirement.
@The_Gooseinator@RepThomasMassie@EdGallrein EdGallrein is a hopeless bootlicker like anyone else who still refuses to question Trump. Sycophants and "yes" men have no place in a functional government. I want a leader who stands up for the common man, instead of spending their time stroking the ego of narcissists.
@GigiHSVARK@RepThomasMassie@JudiciaryGOP@AGPamBondi Yes, terrible grandstanding such as "our justice department should not shield rich and powerful pedophiles from justice" and "our AG should show transparency in their work instead of just talking about how transparent they are." Sad that basic decency is now "grandstanding."
@Codeman1769@Badhombre Don't act like you care about marriage fidelity if you support someone who's known for affair after affair. I guess it's better to be like Trump and move on from your wives while they are still living?
@Badhombre You could just simplify this to "votes according to basic conservative principles on fiscal responsibility and small-government." Of course, the GOP has become such a shell of itself that this can be hard for some to understand. Trump sycophants amaze me with their hypocrisy.
@doeseydotes@MarlowNYC Don't forget that she declined to prosecute Trump University for fraud after receiving a campaign donation from Trump: https://t.co/R369xmk7Mr
@MemeNonLibs@Asmongold@nicksortor You mean ban them by enacting policies for ICE to wear body cams like Biden did? https://t.co/xgtuYh9Qap
I've never heard Democrats argue against body cameras for law enforcement officers, and agree they should be used.
@solipsismmusic@Mindfuljessx@nickshirleyy Also thought this was about Nick. How are you going to "investigate" immigrant fraud and not even know what remittances are? Here's a man who thinks life is good. He's got community, a business, and a place to pray. Miserable racist "Christians" could learn something from him.
@LerkCraftStudio@XRPharoah9@libsoftiktok He just likes it because both words have "capital" in them.
He's entirely wrong about capital punishment preventing crime. We have endless data that says it is not an effective deterrent. It just wastes resources and sometimes kills innocent people.
@michelleweekley@kristenmag That's the key issue - the facts under Texas v. Johnson are nothing like "a guy burned his flag in his backyard." It was a very controversial and provocative display, where Johnson said "America, the red, white, and blue, we spit on you, you stand for plunder, you will go under."
@CynicalPublius Clearly the founding father's idea of "free speech" was that you could say whatever you want in your backyard, but nowhere else. Fantastic analysis. So this EO is threatening our rights so that "democrats waste resources" protecting them. Just like our Constitution intended.
@LucienWolfe111 @nicksortor That's a big "if." An investigation by the government into the motives of foreign interests is apparently treason, but sending fake electors in a scheme to overturn the 2020 election is just fine? This is a clear distraction from the Epstein issue and Americans know it.
