Unfortunately he'd just argue for the 6th, of having the right to face your accuser/witnesses in any criminal case. And once he knows the accuser's name, he'll plaster her info all over his network, even with the ever useful gag-order.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The accuser can be the US Government or what ever specific agency she works for.

Then he'll make the argument that it's all made up if they don't reveal the victim.

We're talking about a guy that tries to make any, and everything a legal loophole. It's one of the reasons his cases take so much time for the prosecution to build their cases

They have witnesses and their accuser is the federal government like felony murder.

Ed: plaster a witness and victim that's a government employee? No no, he can get away with quite a bit but middle employees will never let this shit stand.

He's gone after judges' families. Plural.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

People don't have sympathy for judges, they don't generally love government workers but you don't fuck with workers people can actually relate to.

but middle employee employees will never let this shit stand.

He said, seemingly unaware of the last decade of American politics.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When in the last decade did a politician assault a government employee on camera then lie and blame it on them? I seem to forget that one.

Remember that time a guy body slammed a reporter?

inb4 "a reporter isn't a government employee!"

These clowns are never held accountable, haven't we all figured that out yet? Standards of conduct and morals are only effective when your own followers have them.

edit: just wait until you learn about the unitary executive theory, a vast number of "conservatives" believe the president should have the power to just fire the Arlington employee and replace them with someone loyal to the president.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You mean the time that guy got convicted of assault on someone who wasn't a government employee? Yes, yes I do.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They've been escalating rhetoric against various govt agencies and employees of them for years, it's only going to get worse.

We don't even need to argue it though, we can wait and see if this turns any MAGAts away from Trump or if Steven Cheung, the staffer that did the shoving, is charged.

I wish "middle employees" had the time or could afford to give a shit and that this would make a difference, I'm not that optimistic.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

See what you did there is try to redirect from a question you know you can't answer.

I get your point but this ain't the way boss.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I get your point but this ain’t the way boss.

We're all just bullshitting on the internet anyway. Trump and the RNC have the resources to just run out the clock to any hypothetical charges.

If it were any of us we'd be fucked (and rightly so) for sure though.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They lie to get what they want so you should too? Great lesson

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They lie to get what they want so you should too?

What lie have I told?

middle employees will never let this shit stand.

You think this shit is truthful? "Middle employees" have let the last 50 years of American politics happen, I wouldn't rely on them for much.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That dude wasn't punished, he was convicted.

I mentioned no politics pumpkin, try again.
