Yep. A felony is always a big deal. TWO FELONIES is an even bigger deal. Cheating is cheating. He cheated. He cheated specifically so that he wouldn't be negatively affected at the ballot box. Can't cheat. I accounted for cheating. Makes me right about the 2016 election.
Racket, you are usually so level-headed. You are flat wrong on this one.
I gave two examples of felonies that are very much not a big deal. There's 100s of others that exist now and in the past. Furthermore, federal laws are not ethical or just simply by nature of being written into law.
This is very much the same argument that people make when they make excuses for cops killing black kids on the street. The cops are never wrong because they're the law :D[/quote]
1) You are grasping at straws, brother. You go ahead and commit a felony or two that you don't believe is a big deal. See if you like being a felon.
2) Bringing up any past laws is not relevant in any way.
3) No one claimed that ethics were involved here. You are arguing against no one on that one.
4) Your cops never being wrong point is an odd argument and irrelevant.
Let's cut to the chase here: I said in 2016 that Trump could not win unless he cheated or unless space aliens made us vote for him. I put NO qualification on the cheating. YOU or anyone else doesn't get to decide after the fact what the level of cheating had to be. HOWEVER, even if you get to determine, I say that TWO FELONIES that were committed at the very end of the campaign that were committed for the SOLE PURPOSE of helping him get elected certainly qualifies as significant. BUT, again to be clear, it doesn't have to be significant. I said he couldn't cheat. He cheated. Makes me right about the election.
