Resolved: Trump is guilty, literally, of murder

You don't have to believe me. You can simply look. Nowhere did I write anything like that. It's you that's asking us to believe I said something that isn't there.

You're adorable. You'd make a great parody of a mob lawyer.
 
Ziggurat said:
Since Woodward sat on this for months, I guess that makes him an accomplice to murder.

Alternatively, it's a sunk cost. Trump had already pivoted, so what would have been the effect of the revelation? The President who survived impeachment gets more bad press? He can murder with impunity -- shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and all of that. We know this isn't something that can be taken to the DA. The only way to avoid Trump is by having another candidate get millions more votes edge him in the Electoral College.

I'd be okay with that. I suspect we could find quite a few others to put in the dock alongside them.

I think GW and all the people in on those Iraq lies (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz at a minimum) go above Trump in the murderer category. The thread title is needless hyperbole, IMO.

I don't think you need an emoji to read the sarcasm in that post.

That's a non-sequitor. Stacy responded to my post, which had nothing to do with Trump's response to the accusation. There's no connection.

I'm going with: Woodward is an ass for waiting until his book release.

Bernstein always was the better man.

Trump wasn't minimizing it. Zig's very first comment wasn't about what Trump had done, but about what Woodward hadn't done. Zig is always on Trump defense.

Well that doesn't make her having anything both ways either.

So what was she having both ways?

So, it's now proven beyond any semblance of a doubt that Trump knew that COVID-19 was a significant threat to the lives of Americans who would contract it, but chose to lie and downplay the threat to further his own agenda. I submit that, by refusing to tell the truth, and refusing to take actions he knew were needed to protect lives, and actually taking actions that increased the risk of infection and death in the United States, Trump is literally guilty of murder in the deaths of an indeterminate, but significant, percentage of the total deaths that have occurred in the US.

Under this standard, Trump is guilty. Case Closed.

That doesnt fit the definition of murder, negligent homicide perhaps, not murder.
 
Cain said:
The President played it down because he didn't want to create a panic. Trump's a truth-teller, but he will lie tell lies when it's for our own good. Democrats tell lies when it's for THEIR own good. Right now they're downplaying the violence in Democrat cities, and how it can spread to the suburbs.

Both sides suck

Either you believe in the standard Horatius put forth in the OP, or you don't.

Horatius has the honesty to apply that standard evenly. You don't.
 
Zigg: "Yes your honor I'm not denying that I committed the murder, I'm just saying I saw that one of the witnesses was double parked this morning and it's vitally important that I bring that up..."

Now you're accusing me of committing murder?

You've lost it, Joe.

And no, it's not murder.

it is a massive and deliberate dereliction of duty, exactly what Impeachment was made for.

It can be both. How does this not fit the standard as I quoted above? He took deliberate actions, knowing that they would likely result in death. He did it because he didn't care about those deaths, he cared only about his own needs. And it's not just that he failed to take action, which is usually what "dereliction" implies. He actually took actions that actively opposed the best practices as suggested by the most qualified experts he had available.



JoeMorgue said:
I am however a little lost at what huge revelation this is supposed to be.

Again isn't this another case of "gotcha"ing Trump with evidence of something he already bragged about doing a dozen valid outrages ago?

Yeah Trump let people die because fighting COVID was too hard. Didn't we all already know that? Has Trump ever even denied that?

Up to now, we've suspected that Trump made deliberate choices that lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. But because Trump is also an idiot, there was just enough of a chance that he really was too stupid to understand the problem, and what he should be doing about it, that people could justify letting him off the hook. These recordings now prove that, while he is still an idiot, that's not the reason we're in the mess we're in now. He knew how bad it was, and chose to act as he did.

Okay. Does slot in above or below him openly bragging about doing the thing he was currently being impeached for while he was being impeached and then still not getting convicted?

We keep sewing a Scarlet A onto a guy who's wearing a "Adulterer and Proud" t-shirt and act like we've done something.

Above it, for sure. As bad as his Ukraine BS was in terms of illegality, it ultimately had little impact on the lives of those who need to be convinced to vote against him. To them, it was just one more political scandal involving foreigners with hard to pronounce names, that they couldn't keep straight from one day to the next.

But this hits them all directly. Lots have gotten sick, some have died, more of them know people who've died. Millions have been put out of work or lost their businesses because of this.

Sure, if it were just another affair, his supporters might not care. But there has to be some point at which they will care, right? What if he was found having a homosexual affair? Do you still think his supporters would vote for him?

If we're really at the point that they really don't care about him murdering thousands upon thousands of Americans, we might as well just burn down the country and be done with it.

It says “Cain” over at the left-hand side doesn’t it?
