Well, when you support and espouse Nazi ideals, you should expect to be attacked for it. It didn't work out for them then and it isn't working out for them now either. Maybe they just need to try it 15 more times and it'll finally work.

The case was delayed after they waited nearly two and a half years to charge him which put the trial too close to the election. Why are you completely glossing over this while talking about 'drumming things up?' You're clearly trying to obfuscate the facts here.

Trump didn't wait until August '23 to bring any indictments against himself. That was the decision of Merrick Garland who was appointed directly by Joe Biden in March of 2021.

Govee seems to be the best off-the-shelf option for this as nobody else has really pursued this mostly hobbist market outside of custom installers like you mentioned.

I also think they should last quite a while since they'll be mounted up in the soffit outside of any direct sun or rain exposure which is what's bad for electronics.

It's not "doomer moaning" to think that if they didn't prosecute him in the four year period after his presidency that they won't do it eight or twelve years after his presidency when he's either dead from old age or well into his 80s.

That's not defeatist it's simply witnessing the actions of our current leadership and believing them. You can choose to believe their words instead, but there's zero reason to when their actions (both past and current) directly contradict them.

The head of the DOJ is appointed by the president though and they waited until a little over a year ago in August '23, after he won the RNC nomination, right in the ramp up into the election to charge Trump. Most of the delays are related directly to this and his candidacy for president as no judge wants to directly meddle in the election.

Why didn't they charge him in the nearly three years prior to that? They'd been prosecuting plenty of the January 6th participants during that time. Why not prosecute him for refusing to return all those top secret documents during that time? We had pictures, eye witnesses testifying that he had them in his bathroom, and admissions from Trump directly during that time.

You’re obviously being disingenuous by using Trumps success to spread FUD

How is that? You just admitted yourself "Trumps success" in avoiding any accountability, yet you call it "FUD" when people point out why he was successful in avoiding prosecution. How is this even FUD to begin with? The fact that you keep linking to the definition of it like it's some obscure term makes me think you just learned about it or something. There's no fear, uncertainty, or doubt that Trump will never be held accountable for any of this because we all just witnessed him get away with it.

Half my comments on this subject are the same way too.

Literally name one thing that points to a bad faith argument here. Is anything critical of the party 'propaganda' now? That sure sounds familiar to a certain other party's rhetoric.

How can you witness the DNC lose two elections and barely win another by razor-thin margins during a time of unprecedented turmoil and think the party is doing well or above reproach?

All you're doing here is an ad hominem against the messenger and failing to give a single reason why you think their argument is wrong.

Trump got away with corruption because the DNC dragged their feet on pursuing charges until the 11th hour and now it's too late. That seems like a damn good reason to criticize the people leading the party.

Does that really make a difference in their argument?

I enjoy the joke, but I think the key difference is that people still regularly visit Home Depot to buy things while Best Buy is a ghost town. Kinda hard to sell your services as a day laborer in IT if you're not getting any foot traffic.

This is just like Obama giving Bush and Cheney a pass for war crimes and starting a war based on complete lies.

Sounds like centrist liberals have been causing everyone issues for generations now.
