One thing that Donald Trump and his supporters need to understand.
A jury does not have to consist of only people that support Donald Trump, in order to be "fair".

An investigation does not have to consist of people that voted for Donald Trump in order to be "fair".

Just because someone says something critical of Donald Trump does not make it a "hoax" and does not make them un-American.

Just because someone states a fact that Donald Trump disagrees with does not make it false.

This bullshit needs to cease.

1. We saw what happened with Manafort's trial.

I'm sure there was more than one trump voter on that jury. But one of them refused to convict on a blatantly obvious crime among the charges. She didn't uphold her oath.

The others on the jury gave me hope in believing that not all trumpers are cultists.

2. how are you going to make them understand?

they don't even think Democrats qualify as Americans, let alone "fair."

they will not do what you say they must do. it's frustrating, depressing, and about as wrong as wrong can be, but it is what it is.

6. They don't care

If we learned anything from our last Civil War, you cannot treat traitors with kid gloves, you don't seek to understand them, you don't reach across with arms outstretched to "reconcile."

We've been paying for this crap ever since the North didn't completely and utterly destroy the south and punish them for their intransigent traitorous ways.

8. It's been authoritarian thinking and strategy from the get go

It was plumbed during the GWB years. "Soon I will be president!" And Stephen Miller - no one shall disagree with the President!

Anyone who didn't see these clues for what they were -- brain dead in my view. Question is where are they going with it? Theft and plunder of everything public and private? Which by the way was the subcurrent of Nazi atrocities.

12. It began with the "Moral Majority", increased with hate radio and FOX, and now we have the Dontator.

20. The cult believes in Divine Rights of Trump

They are weird and stupid anti American cowards willing to be subservient to please their "Dear Leader." They think professional wrestling is a competitive sport and reality TV is rooted in reality. They wouldn't care if Trump seized all their possessions to pay for a golf outing. Where I grew up we called them jerkoffs.

22. THE NEVER-TRUMPER LABEL Is used anytime you say anything negative or critical of trump. Its a defense mechanism created by a trio of organizations, trump, conservative talk radio, and foxnews. They've spent a lot of money and time coming up with these childish, weak defenses to build and maintain a base of support for any republican candidate they choose--it just happens to be trump. But remember: THEY ARE DEDICATED REPUBLICANS WHO "HATE" DEMOCRATS. THIS TRIO WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT TO A FUNKY TURD AS LONG AS IT IS A REPUBLICAN. THAT FUNKY TURD WILL ALSO HAVE A STRONG REPUBLICAN BASE WHO WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING COMING FROM IT.
We have to worry about the independents and the centrist. These are the ones who will use common sense over childish name calling and outright lies.

We are dealing with liers and cheaters. They don't care how they win as long as they win. Lie, cheat, steal, it doesn't matter, just win--this is trump. This is why he stays in trouble.

24. But good lord thats exactly what they THINK!!!!! I mean to a "T".

NO criticism allowed.
I saw someone on FB, who is a trump voter, lose THREE FB friends because he posted the video of trump acting like a 5 yr old during the Super Bowl national anthem.
NO criticism allowed.
They all LOVED Judge Napolitano. Many suggested he be put on the SCOTUS. But now that he's criticized trump a few times, based on THE FREAKING LAW, he's now a damn pariah
I've never seen anything like it.

25. They've been led to believe we are an existential threat to them

Tantamount to enemies of the state. They think we are their mirror image when we address Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. These thoughts come from existing in a factual vacuum that disallows them from learning the truth.

The John Birch Society, aka Tea Party, has been with us from the beginning. They are immune to learning. They can only be beaten by outnumbering them, at least that's the way it used to be, before Putin took over our once fair elections.

31. That is so far over their heads that they'll never get it

Our job is to convince them that we are all citizens of the same country and their fellow citizens who disagree with them on politics are not some sort of deadly enemy out to destroy their lives.

Thanks to Gingrich and his brand of tribalism, that is exactly how a lot of them think these days and it has to stop unless we want more of them shooting up churches and schools on the off chance there are Democrats around. They hate us that much.

The "jury" did NOT convict and remove President Clinton in 1999.  Is he impeached and guilty forever?

I’m guessing none of these snowflakes visit their own ‘Primary’ forum. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

That place is like a crying room and it’s hilarious.

Bingo Mister wrong-side-of-the Tug-River,  that's why your ambush at our windows and doors will be met first by dirt and then
.50 Pb balls of fate propelled by the boom you will not hear.  Step away from your bravado of war and get civil.  Too many
people you don't know or understand are up for this fight for America.

  A jury laden with Trump-lovers would not have been an unbiased jury for Roger Stone.

   A jury laden with Trump-Haters would not have been an unbiased jury for Roger Stone.  

The latter case was what the trial judge knowingly permitted.

Something DUmmies need to understand: When there's no crime to charge someone with there's no need for a jury
