I don’t think a federal negligence claim would do. I think there’d be all kinds of immunities and defenses.

I’d like to see a state law tort claim - let them prove some legitimate federal defense. But you have to find the individual first.

Right? I’d love to see that.

One difficulty is not knowing who the individuals are. And if you’re filing a state court claim against John Does, you can’t subpoena the feds to tell you.

What the fuck ever gave you the idea that I don’t think Trump is a criminal? For fucks sake.

Let’s hope the plural is appropriate!

1978 NLCS was very close.

If only Rizzo had reached out and smacked that second (third?) pitch in the tenth inning of Game 7. They never would’ve changed the rule.

Trump was targeted by James specifically because he was the R leader. My Twitter feed cheered her on bc he was the R leader.

But the crime charged was victimless and technical.

Yes, Trump is a criminal. But you can’t credibly deny that the NY/GA prosecutions were politically motivated.

To be clear, if the question is β€œwho’s worse, Trump or Biden/James/Willis/Garland,” the answer is Trump.

Second question first, I don’t think Biden had anything to do with any of the prosecutions against Trump.

But cmon. James is a Dem politician. She won her office by promising the majority-Dem electorate that she’d prosecute the leader of the opposition party. That doesn’t happen all the time.

It was still lawfare. James ran for office promising to prosecute Trump. She was just good at it.

I dunno. I think there’s a few problems with that reasoning.

1. By definition, doesn’t an indictment mean there’s probable cause to believe the person committed a crime?

2. James’s prosecution of Trump was clearly politically motivated.

3. How can we know if James committed crimes before now?

You’re absolutely right.

I’m curious, though - were you saying this when James targeted Trump for criminal prosecution?

My most vivid memories from 50 years of watching baseball are pitcher home runs.

And one notable walkoff sac bunt by a pitcher as a pinch hitter. Every Cub fan remembers that and will do so forever.

I don’t see Libertarians using their guns to fight tyranny either.

My overall point is that any anti-tyranny benefit from widespread gun ownership is minimal at best and is far outweighed by the destruction guns cause.

To me, the cost of that particular freedom is too high.
