Biden Tells Dems: Cut Out the 'Lock Trump Up' Chants [View all] Gothmog Nov 2019 OP

Why? He's a criminal ... just sayin (nt) mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #1

Because it is not going to happen and won't change any votes. OKNancy Nov 2019 #2

Yes zeusdogmom Nov 2019 #5

I'll remember that next time I'm out doing stupid 'What do we want? JUSTICE! mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #13

And what good do these protests do...time would be better spent registering voters...IMHO. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #24

Okay, so 'protesting' is a stupid waste of time? Cool, I don't much like doing it (nt) mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #35

I dig how you reduce yourself to using the reductio ad absurdum fallacy. LanternWaste Nov 2019 #106

"And what good do these protests do?" pangaia Nov 2019 #71

We can do both. And, I will be honest, this comment telegraphs to me that Eliot Rosewater Nov 2019 #81

We do want justice, and charging Trump in a criminal proceeding would be justice. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #61

One can agree with your message text ... mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #11

So you are predicting Trump will do no jail time for all his crimes? Farmer-Rick Nov 2019 #151

A president should have nothing to do with locking anyone up...that is up to Justice...Trump Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #4

This! It sets the wrong tone for a respectable leader and political rally Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #8

Exactly and we are going after voters in Trump districts who may not want Trump to continue as Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #18

Exactly. redqueen Nov 2019 #30

If a plump voter hasn't changed, by this time, nothing demosincebirth Nov 2019 #80

Exactly. There will be an America after Trump, and our Hortensis Nov 2019 #52

Forgiveness is a personal choice TheRealNorth Nov 2019 #58

Not necessary. Just don't shout insults in public. Hortensis Nov 2019 #62

Indeed! We all have impulses, to act them out in public .... really? Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #86

:) Nothing like making a nasty scene to get one's Hortensis Nov 2019 #94

Arrested for insults? Midnightwalk Nov 2019 #108

Agree completely... like it or not the gop isn't going away Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #68

Exactly. Having a President that does not lock up his opponents is kind of what America is all about Midnight Writer Nov 2019 #129

Exactly, Joe needs to acknowledge what WE The People WANT... why he won't be the nominee!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #22

Not exactly what I'm saying, but ... you do you my friend ;) (nt) mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #26

We the people do not have the right to demand anyone gets locked up ...what are we? Lawless? Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #31

SURE WE DO!! I demand we lock that muthafuckin traiterous thievin' criminal Nazi bastard tRump up!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #37

Chanting is decidedly different from locking people up ... mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #40

Has there been a trial I wasn't aware of? brooklynite Nov 2019 #72

That combination bdamomma Nov 2019 #132

The DOJ and an impartial Attorney General need to make this decision Gothmog Nov 2019 #67

They basically did. That's why Mikey Cohen is in jail. I'll leave it at that (nt) mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #69

The DOJ needs to make this decision Gothmog Nov 2019 #115

Because he hasn't been tried and convicted yet PatSeg Nov 2019 #93

T-shirt slogans ain't policy and bumper stickers don't change anything. LanternWaste Nov 2019 #105

Shut Up Joe montanacowboy Nov 2019 #3

How rude...I imagine there would be trouble if I directed the same comments at Warren...you know Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #14

President Obama essentially said the same thing. It is immature and accomplishes nothing still_one Nov 2019 #29

So true. We are so fortunate...She is the best. I remember when some now going after Biden Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #34

+++ still_one Nov 2019 #54

LOL! Like nothin has ever been said about Bernie that would be trouble if directed @other candidates InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #33

When my kids said he/she did it first so it is OK that I also did it, I grounded them. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #36

You know something Demsrule? That's a fair rebuttal statement you just made and I credit you InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #46

never seen a post saying "shut up, Bernie." treestar Nov 2019 #89

Right... MUCH worse than that!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #113

And what would Warren say? treestar Nov 2019 #99

can't stand the truth ? stonecutter357 Nov 2019 #83

I've heard the very sentiment treestar Nov 2019 #87

Shut up, Warren. Drunken Irishman Nov 2019 #96

Good find ! Nt treestar Nov 2019 #100

Thanks, good one LakeArenal Nov 2019 #103

I wonder how you would feel if we said you candidate should 'shut up'...rude. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #12

Yeah, like nothing rude has ever been said about Bernie!! LMFAO!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #25

can't stand the truth ? stonecutter357 Nov 2019 #84

Are you going to tell Warren to "Shut up", too? Cha Nov 2019 #118

He sounds too much like Barack Obama. Some DU members won't take too kindly to this. In 3-2-1... Skya Rhen Nov 2019 #7

I love President Obama and would not wan our president to be anything remotely like Trump. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #10

Which candidate of ours was leading the chants at the Nationals World Series game again? mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #19

I have not idea. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #38

The answer is 'none of them', it was a spontaneous thing by the crowd ... no Dem candidate was there mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #44

Joe Biden took the initiative to say "stop" which I respect. I objected not to the chant in terms Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #50

As I pointed out below, for all intents and purposes, Cohen being in jail for the Daniels thing ... mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #57

Rationalization. Trump has not had his day in court. Cohen has... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #148

Same here. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #27

No doubt, and that is fine with me. still_one Nov 2019 #32

Any person, even Trump, is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That is the rule of law.. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #39

In terms of the law Trump isn't a criminal until he's been found guilty. Biden is making the point The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #43

I respect this argument, but allow me to point out that Clinton lost ... mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #53

There's not much difference between a candidate leading a chant and allowing it to occur. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #60

It makes us stoop to the deplorables' level NYMinute Nov 2019 #21

Coups involve military and similar entities ... these are voters, it's the opposite of a 'coup' mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #28

That is not true...coups do not always involve the military. We have a rule of law and it must be Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #41

Chanting is not breaking the rule of law & nobody goes to jail because people chant 'lock em up' nt mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #47

"don't Boo, VOTE" handmade34 Nov 2019 #23

I agree completely. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #42

Nancy Pelosi said she wants to see Trump in prison did she not? delisen Nov 2019 #64

Yes, she did say that. It' quite a different thing, saying what she said from her position than Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #74
