The Trooper asks for your license and registration. You refuse to comply to the lawful request. You say, "Well I saw people passing me, driving faster than me, so why am I the one being pulled over?"
That defense ain't gonna fly and everyone knows that truth. trump is trying to use that defense by saying that Hunter Biden and his dad were breaking the law in the same way as, trump himself, so why should he be the only one to be caught? Well besides the fact that no one else was speeding, even though we have the word of the defendant, to the contrary, no proof exists.
trump, you are guilty! Stop trying to bring phantom speeders into this. The law is the law and you are not above it, period.

(11,465 posts)I was only going 5 miles over in slow lane and tons of cars passed, still cost me hundreds of dollars.
I put heavy shading on my car last year because of my husbands skin cancer and i have note from doctor to make it legal. I was warned I would get stopped more. I just know that was why but of course he didnt say that, maybe he thought with the tinting I was a druggie.
Took one look at me gramma with my dresses hanging in back and said well I only got you for 5 over! Why not a warning?
So why is it I am such a bad criminal and the president gets to flaunt his crimes in my face? I am surprised we as a country arent more angry!

Decides to fight the ticket in court. Tells the judge everyone around him was speeding.
Judge asks the cop if the guy's story is true.
Cop says yes...
"I got on the freeway, hit the lights....this guy was the only one who pulled over"

We may know what is right and what is wrong. But whether he does or not, he just doesnt care.

(24,412 posts)The major flaw in it is that AFAWK neither Biden has been credibly charged or even really accused of anything. So far, all we know is that Hunter sat on the board of a natural gas company that *may* have been shady. Im not even sure what he was supposed to have done?

(33,345 posts)The only people he doesn't stiff are his lawyers, who have bought him functional immunity from the laws of the land. And if you want to point out his Charity Fraud or his "University" Fraud punishment, well, he bought his way out of that. Those fines are a slap on the wrist.
Regardless, Impeachment and a Senate "Trial" aren't going to hold him accountable to any law, either. The DOJ is compromised, the FBI is cowed, the CIA is silent. The courts will take until the Republic is dead and buried to deal with his lawyer's stalling tactics.
Facts have been murdered by GOP propaganda. Putin gave them the tools the Right Wing Noise Machine previously lacked: shameless, brazen, bullying effrontery, and those techniques are second nature to Trump.
The Constitution is exposed as an incomplete document.
