    All of this is obviously true and I've never doubted any of that with the European brand. However, when you compare this to the socialism/communist push from the left I don't see how you can argue with my statement.

    What are hte 50/60's telling us about now? I would love to see any recent examples of the Conservatives trying to censor ANY type of speech.

    Trump doesnt believe in innocent until proven guilty so I dont see why anyone owes that to him. Trump believes in convicting people in the court of public opinion. The only thing keeping him from being indicted is the Presidency and thats even without the obstruction of justice charges.

    cajun, it seems

    "freedom" boy is trying to use a false equivalency by saying Nancy is doing the same thing

    although she is looking at real crimes and not bs that is used to drum up support for an unintelligent base

    I guess one thing about this is that Trump is the head of the DoJ and Pelosi isn’t. Another thing is that, while saying she “wants to see him in prison” may be impolitic, “calling for investigations” of the executive branch is actually within the purview of Congress.

    I think she doesn't want to shoot and miss.
    Him escaping both impeachment and justice would be the travesty some see this as.

    Let's bear in mind that constitutionally Congress was designed as a deliberative body. Even if not constantly in thought, consistently in process

    I need to figure out when it's ok to wish jail time of political opponents.

    Certainly a strong case can be made that HRC committed crimes

    I guess somewhere on this noble quest you’d consider the relevance of someone making such statements actually having power over, I dunno, the entire Department of Justice.
