Appreciation for Bragg and his staff

They're all doing something that has to be done if we are going to remain the United States of America. No one person is above the law, no one. You do the crime, be prepared to do the time.

If Bragg proves the second charge, then Trump will be convicted of a felony. He will be a felon. He may not do any time, he may serve at MAL, but he will be a felon.

Let all those brave people stand fast, knowing that the rest of us have got their backs, however we can show it. Hang in there!

1. Appreciation should be doled out when there's tangible evidence it has been earned...

At the time of this posting, that is still lacking.

Why is everyone so eager to slaver over every rumor, inference, and hypothesis which hits social media and cable news?

Shit will happen when it happens. And AFTER it happens we can say "hey, good job there!" if the happening is actually worth a damn. There is no rush.

results that you want?

Where have you been the last two days? Trump is calling for riots. Bragg has sent his department encouragement emails. Asshole McCarthy is threatening them. People are nervous.

Bragg deserves a thank you, along with his staff, because they are bearing the brunt of the GOP backlash. And they face a real risk of violence, because Trump put a timer on it.

I'm not likely to have a doggone thing happen to me. But those others are in a different position.

So, when your platoons head into battle, you say nothing encouraging but wait to see who returns? Interesting...And, I listen to those who know, or should reasonably be expected to know...and, based on their opinions, I wanted to thank Bragg and his people for trying to punch Trump for me. That's all.

4. I thank people when I know they have actually tried. What do you know about what Bragg has done,

and how do you know it? Can you point to the documents which demonstrate it? Documents which carry (in theory) a consequence for being knowingly false, like say an indictment or affidavit? Or if you are basing this knowledge off of media reports/tweets/posts/soundbites "according to sources familiar with the matter" have you calculated the reliability rate of such reports this past decade? It's not good.

Yes, reliable evidence may come tomorrow or next week or next month, and I hope it does, but is it available today for you to be making this judgement?

Again, what is the rush to slobber over a supposed hero?

that gets me banned.

You be you, and I'll be me. I'm comfortable with that.
