"I trust that they will never come after me like this because I vote with them most of the time. And this is why I vote with them most of the time, so they won't come after me like this."
Checks and balances only works when there are parties with equal powers and are willing to use them.
Government power vs citizen is inherently unbalanced. THAT is why we have separate branches of government. It is the responsibility of government to challenge each other, not to trust a process.
Absent that Thomas Paine noted what happens to power structures in his famous pamphlet “Common Sense”
“it only remains to know which power in the constitution has the most weight, for that will govern: and though the others, or a part of them, may clog, or, as the phrase is, check the rapidity of its motion, yet so long as they cannot stop it, their endeavors will be ineffectual: the first moving power will at last have its way, and what it wants in
speed is supplied by time”
Bacon isn’t trusting the process. He is an accessory to it.
A tranny with a gun coming at you
is more trustworthy than anyone in the backstabbing,
treasonous GOP.
“I believe in the rule of law,” said Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska.
Don Bacon has made it clear what a sniveling, RINO coward he is.
Nothing more useless than a “moderate”.
Like Rush said, The world’s smallest book is “Great Moderates In History”
“said Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska. “I think we have checks and balances and I trust the system.”
WYF! Where the hell has this asshole been for the last decade plus. There has been absolutely nothing stopping the takeover by the the communists.
What a coward, this is no less a Kangaroo Court than Lizard Cheney’s.
Geez, Nebraska...this puss is the best you’ve got? LOL!
Exactly what “system” do you trust, Rep. Bacon? The system that has political prisoners rotting away in DC jails? Wake up, fool!
Don Bacon is either a fool or he is compromised.
looks like we found our first target to vote out in the next primary
Get a clue Nebraska citizens of his district, Bacon is an idiot if he honestly believes what he says. Because that is prima facia evidence he is not paying attention at all.
Rep. Don Bacon of Omaha, Nebraska is a feeble spineless coward.
“I believe in the rule of law,” said Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska. “I think we have checks and balances and I trust the system.”
So, you think Trump can get a fair trial with a Manhattan jury, is that it? An area where:
“According to AP VoteCast, 8 percent of eligible voters in Manhattan voted for President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.”
Primary his a** out.
The "system" works...until it doesn't. It doesn't when it becomes corrupt. It becomes corrupt when corrupt people control it. Corrupt people control it when people no longer question the system.
So, then (rhetorical):
If I have enough money and influence, I can corrupt said system, target YOU for years and get away with it as well, Bacon?
Dumbass constituency voted for this meathead. Remember that.
Why would anyone believe this?
The very fact that this is happening belies any integrity of the system.
Yet nothing happens to Joe. Where’s the impeachment proceedings? Where’s the DOJ/FBI respective to Hunter? Why are J6 folks still in prison? Where are the republicans?
No, I don’t trust the system.
Anyone who trusts the “system” in this country these days is a drooling, blithering idiot. The “system” is a sewer full of lies, leaks and bastardly lying accusers who piss on your leg and tells you it’s raining.
My oddball congressman in suburban nyc is ten times more outraged than this wimp from Nebraska. Pathetic.
