A unanimous verdict stands. Otherwise it's a mistrial, and up to the prosecutor whether they try again. So, no, an entire jury doesn't have to agree to nullify to very possibly do a little jury nullification.

Yet you'd never even consider voting for the monkey wrench named Kennedy. Would you? I saw that conversation. No, he didn't. If he had, I wouldn't have said he didn't. You did, however, forget that Trump's NEA funded drag queen story hours. You forgot that twice.

And why is that? Never mind 2020. How did all the previous 121 federal elections fail to stop it? No federal law, no Constitution, can save a people when 81% of them disapprove of what Congress is doing, but 81% of members of Congress get reelected. I heard a lot of lovely promises in 2016, both from Trump and his supporters. He kept precious few, and none of the really important ones. But which of his 2016 voters is doing anything but making excuses for his ineptitude?

Biden has been abusing power for decades and decades. He did not, however, invent that. Trump could and should have foreseen such a possibility. He didn't. His voters got fooled because they're fools. It's also worth mentioning that very few of those protestors were arrested by Biden's DOJ. They were arrested by Trump's DOJ. If the system was broken at the end of his term, it's only because nobody in a position to do so bothered to fix it.

We've seen the government give weapons to both sides of so many civil wars that I've been wondering, hey, you started a civil war with your own people. When do you start giving weapons to us? I guess a little more wall to keep us on the tax plantation is the best we can expect...

Marist. Why is it that any time I see mention of a political poll these days, I think of Julia Child? Somebody has done some cooking.

I've never seen him say that. I've seen him engage the hypothetical, and decide no property owner should be forced to endure it. Which was simply an exploration of principles. Principles are good. If the average schmo had any, we wouldn't be in this mess. Are you really so hungry to blame someone else for the fact that being willing to concede our principles for political expediency has landed us in a dumpster fire that you'll pick on the person who stands by those principles as if he was part of the group that suckered you? Talk about shooting the messenger. And now the fact that your politicians failed you miserably has you putting words in Mr. Drake's mouth that he did not say. He did not say, do nothing . In fact, you accused him of that and he denied it. What he did say was, preach the gospel. And what PAF is preaching has basis in the gospel -- trust God, not men. I keep thinking of the people (some if whom I know) who are still not mad at the government for lying to them and trying to kill them, but are mad as hell at the person who told them the truth about where their medical problems came from. I wonder what brought them to mind?

Usual yes but not unprecedented. Now at the risk of invoking the spirit of SS, I concede Trump would have to be concerned that pardoning the January 6th protesters might give credence to the idea that he incited them to riot in the first place.

Your Fan Fiction Trumpscuse is, it's an abuse of power to use a pardon to prevent an abuse of power? Just in case. They were in jail that whole two weeks. If you want to excuse the inexcusable, you're going to have to work harder than that.

And in so doing, spared him from having to endure the trial. Or even sitting in jail wondering if bail will ever be set.

Good question. I don't know. But Ford pardoned Nixon without Nixon being convicted.

I LOL every time I see Kwame Kilpatrick's name on that list.

The electoral vote count in Congress and the inauguration have never happened on the same day. They're a couple of weeks apart.

Trump was still president until Biden was sworn in. Trump's last pardon was done on January 20th, 2021. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardons-granted-president-donald-j-trump-2017-2021

Yeah. Swordsmyth is a one trick pony. I bet next he'll say the reason Trump said in 2000 that he supported an assault weapons ban is that he knew one day he wouldb be president and subject to impeachment.

:rolleyes: Alex Jones has always been anti Hitler and being anti Hitler doesn't make one "woke." ^This

Byllshyt. You didn't say "impeachment in general." You said "One of the phony impeachments." There were two of them. And he was paying off Stormy Daniels before he even got elected president. Dude was being sexually blackmailed and you know it. Everybody knows that.

John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Somewhere in between modern pacifism in the face of the rising time of perversion and Westboro Baptist fanaticism is a happy medium. Somewhere between this: And this:

Don't you think that preaching the gospel is more effective for dealing with children being abused by drag queens than voting for someone who brought a gay pride flag into the GOP convention? I'm not a fan of Westboro Baptist but at least they seemed to be in the right ballpark. (Preaching on the street though I think their methods were ineffective). And how does arguing whether or not someone you know very little about who, from what we can tell, killed nobody but himself is somehow like a mass murderer like Jim Jones stopping nuclear war or a man made bio plague? And, from his manifesto reading, this person who set himself on fire was just as concerned about the man made bio plague as you are. I'm confused. :confused:

Wow! Let's Go Brandon! (I mean that both ways).

You're a believer right? What would the King have you do? Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come Matthew 28:18-19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. I said this past Sabbath at an overwhelmingly black SDA church during Bible study that we should not be concerned about who's going to be president. A young elder, who I know hates Trump, was like "You better be concerned!" Without getting into the politics of it I said "That's just a lack of faith! As my mother (who he knew well before she died) used to say 'The most high rules in the kingdom of men. He puts up and he takes down whom he sees fit. (Daniel 4:7). Donald Trump became president because God wanted him to be president. Biden became president because God wanted him to be president. Obama became president because God wanted him to be president. And if Trump becomes president again it's because God wants him to be president." We as Christians walk around in so much fear. Faith is the opposite of fear. And "Perfect love casts out all fear." 1 John 4:18. I'm not afraid what man can do to me. Psalms 118:6. This man who self immolated (and I don't agree with that as method to spread your message) was on target when he talked about how much we as human beings are being pushed into being fearful. And through this fear the powers that be control us. Wear a mask. Don't wear a mask. Fourteen days to stop the spread. The Russians are going to get is. (Funny that was a GOP talking point and now the Democrats have owned it.) Be afraid of the Chicoms. But don't pay attention to all of the other countries in the world doing the exact same gain of function research. Lock down. Shut down. Pipe down or you'll be de-platformed.

In before someone starts trying to explain why Trump tariffs good, Biden tariffs bad.

He relied on other peoples moles. My understanding is the moles were cogs in the wheels of the machinery and not the billionaires themselves. Ask Donald Trump. This is what he wrote in 2000. ""I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun," I don't care that he owns them. Lots of democrats own the very guns they want to ban.
