A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Yes and it doesn't really defend Cannon's decision so much as say that it is different from Weiss.

But you've decided that despite all other rulings, precedent etc that Cannon's ruling means Smith is illegal.

BUT when a court comes to an opinion you don't like and finds trump guilty of sexual assault, well, that's a matter for the courts and you don't believe them.

Basically, a nonsense ruling that flies in the face of precedent/common sense/previous cases but supports your side, obviously correct.

But a court and jury finds trump committes sexual assault, well, y'know, that may or may not have happened etc.

It's almost like the facts don't matter, all that matters is whether the ruling is good or bad for your side. Weird.

Edit: I'll also point out that the judge said the "proof convincingly established and the jury implicitly found that Mr trump deliberately and forcibly penetrated Ms Carroll's vagina with his fingers" and that as many people understand the word rape, trump did exactly that.
