If that can be proven, pretty sure it's entrapment. On the other hand, just having an abundance of informants in a group doesn't even suggest that, let alone prove it and it would be strongly counter to the normal operations for an informant to use them as a provocateur. They're not government...

Well, from a quick google search: he makes at least one good point, physically looks like the embodiment of mum's garage dwelling incles, and one "collaborated" with the single most annoying voice in politics; Russell Brand.

No they can't. Or more accurately, defence attorney's can ask him, but then prosecution can object and it'd almost certainly be sustained. Generally speaking, either side can only object to evidence with issues that are specifically relevant rather than with general character type issues...

You realise trump himself would definitely fall foul of this? Whatever else you might think about the guy, you'd have to be an idiot not to recognise that he loves to run his mohth off without much thought for the consequences.

Lol. Would you really like for defamation suits to come with the penalty of life in prison? It would be hilarious, and definitely make general public political and media discourse much more polite.

Why yes, if we take your beliefs as axiomatic, by gosh I'm an idiot for arguing with them! Why did I not just accept the inherent and obvious nature of your subjective and unprovable position?

And, to put it bluntly, what the fuck does that have to do with what I said? Also, I'd love to see your actual breakdown supporting "media emphasized the small amount of violent footage of Jan 6th while hiding the large amounts of peaceful protest footage." Asides from anything else, you...

I guess? But I'd think you'd find "any" gaps in coverage weird in such a building, and not having a bunch of stuff that your client claimed happened show up should probably raise a flag. I guess part of it does come down to what exactly was asked, how exactly it was responded to and what the...

Well, yep. That sounds like it should be grounds for a mistrial. Though, I am far and away from being any kind of legal expert. Pretty sure there's a great big requirement about providing evidence, especially when requested and also especially when it's the government. American law being what it...

I value some things differently and wouldn't phrase most of it that way, but I somewhat to mostly agree. Though, the assumption seems to be that it just being publicly released now inherently means it wasn't considered/available is evidence? Is there anything specific behind that? I don't recall...

That's true, people do plea guilty for reduced sentencing and such. I don't know that I'd agree with the "scared into it" phrasing, as they have their own defence lawyer to give them a much less intimidatory breakdown of the options, probabilities and consequences, but I guess that's neither...

Yeah, but again that's in the context that at the same time a few hundred other people elsewhere were actively trying to fight cops, force violent entry, and screaming about hanging traitors. If all it takes to keep him occupied somewhat peacefully is a protest photoshoot, seems the sensible...

Well, dude pleaded guilty and agreed to the sentence himself, so who am I to disagree with it? Also, "escorted by security the entire time he was in the building"? https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQg6ft1rzkeYu-XBn9GgC3427bT9df1qd8Ivg&usqp=CAU Maybe in the sense that he was...

Doesn't much change my stance either. I don't believe there was any/much serious, organised attempt at any kind of coup, insurrection or whatever. I do believe certain more extreme groups did have more specific plans, but that the general chaos didn't really suit them, and that they were too...

So, pure what-aboutism, of a group I'm in no way part of and that has nothing to do with this issue? That would be a shitty argument for a child. Do better. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQS0yUtimD3qBx3s7Cv0bYyemDiWAwyyxdEAA&usqp=CAU...

Is it more or less sad than you just completely ignoring footage that doesn't suit your narrative? Because regardless of what you think this specific footage means there's tons of videos and photos of people forcing their way past barricades, crushing up against lines of police, hell there's...

Lol, no of course I wasn't serious. Pretty sure a quick search will find several less favourable posts I've made about her. I don't hate her as much as some, and don't believe everything some others do, but I don't like her and even if I did I'm not stupid enough to think any trump fans would...

And yet she's characterised as the ultimate cold blooded, deep state uniparty hack. Maybe if she's pissing off so much of the entrenched elite, the maga crowd ought to reconsider supporting her over trump. I mean, he comes from millions and squandered his inheritance. Or he lied to evade tax...

Well, that's one way to admit you were wrong and arguing stupidity got too hard. It's a shitty one, but concession accepted all the same.

So, unless I'm absolutely sure that's not the case we should assume it without any evidence for it? I find it easier to believe that the angry and upset parents wanted to punish jones than that there was some nefarious conspiracy to control the media and shape society. Also, I'm not ignoring...
