He was stopped by a bullet. There’s not much fight anyone can put up against a bullet. A bullet is not the same as an opposing political party, or public opinion.
MLK persisted, gained a following, and lead the nation to change for the better. No political party was able to stop him. The only thing that could stop him was lethal violence.
Trump to be arraigned Tuesday to face hush money indictment
NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump will be arraigned Tuesday after his indictment in Manhattan, his formal surrender and arrest presenting the historic, shocking scene of a former U.S. commander in chief forced to stand before a judge.
Court officials confirmed the timing on Friday. When Trump turns himself in, he’ll be booked mostly like anyone else facing charges, mugshot and all. But he isn’t expected to be put in handcuffs, he’ll have Secret Service protection and will almost certainly be released that day.
As Trump and his lawyers prepared for his defense, the prosecutor in his hush money case defended the grand jury investigation that propelled him toward trial while congressional Republicans painted it all as politically motivated.
“We urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information, and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg wrote to three Republican House committee chairs Friday in a letter obtained by The Associated Press.
Lindsey Graham says Trump should ‘smash some windows’ and ‘punch a cop’ on his way to being booked
Sen. Lindsey Graham joked that Trump should “punch a cop” on his way to being booked in Manhattan.
He said that Trump would then “avoid prosecution” and be “released IMMEDIATELY!”
It was an apparent joke about DA Alvin Bragg’s criminal justice-focused policies.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says he’s got a plan to keep former President Donald Trump from being prosecuted after being indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan on Thursday — assaulting a police officer and engaging in robbery.
“How can President Trump avoid prosecution in New York?,” asked Graham on Twitter. “On the way to the DA’s office on Tuesday, Trump should smash some windows, rob a few shops and punch a cop.”
The senator added: “He would be released IMMEDIATELY!”
Mr Trump will most likely be arrested and placed in jail on no bond, this is done at the discretion of the judge.
This is sad because I mean we watched video of Hunter Biden smoking crack with prostitutes and we’ve watched video of Joe Biden using his influence to make payoffs to get paid etc.
The system is corrupted and the economy is crumbling.
After a six-month stint in federal prison, Barry—the “mayor for life” who served from 1979 to 1991—returned briefly to the private life. But in 1994 he was again elected by city residents to a four-year term as mayor. Barry is now a member of the city council.
We are now forming a One world government. The internet has caused this, because now we are able to do business between nations and we are able to commit international crimes where we are untouchable as criminals.
Our new government will be NATO and the world economic forum.
There are laws being passed right now that will cause you to be prosecuted criminally for saying something that is not allowed on the internet.
you couldn’t, before? others seemed to be able to …
most countries have had laws for decades that already cover that - fortunately for those of us not so keen on people promoting terrorism, inciting racial hatred, and other similar things
No you could not do that before. Prior to the internet it cost you $15 or $20 per hour to call someone that was 200 miles down the road, but now I can have full motion video calls with someone anywhere in the world and all I need is an internet connection at the web Cafe.
In the past I couldn’t send money around the world unless it cost me a lot to do it, but now I can send $1,000 or $10,000 to someone on the other side of the planet and it cost me very little. I can also transfer bitcoins to anyone in the world and it cost me slivers of pennies.
I understand you’re being a smart aleck when you say that I am creating a one world order but it is not me that is forming a one world order the one world order is formed because we are in a global marketplace right now.
100 years ago it wasn’t even possible to communicate instantaneously with someone on the other side of the planet you had to send them a letter and it had to be transported by ship which would take months or at least weeks.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences
The First Amendment protects individuals and allows freedom of speech, religion, assembly, press and the right to petition. However, the right to freedom of speech has fallen under scrutiny lately because some individuals believe that freedom of speech means they can say whatever they want to without having to endure consequences. Freedom of speech does not exempt us from suffering consequences on the basis of something we say.
Everyone is entitled to be able to voice their own opinions, ideas and views without interference from the government. However, once statements that are voiced condone some form of discrimination, racism, homophobia, etc., at that point one cannot expect people to not voice their opinions back or call out these individuals for their negative comments. Individuals are also free to voice their comments on any social media platform but they should also expect that they may face possible backlash if the comments that are made are derogatory, racist, etc.
Individuals also have to understand that regardless of having the right to freedom of speech, there are limitations to what can be said. For example, we cannot yell “fire” in a crowded area like a sporting event or movie theatre because that word is inciting chaos that can lead to someone being injured. If someone were to yell “fire” without there being an actual fire they will face consequences through law enforcement.
