RFK Jr. slams Trump verdict: ‘Profoundly undemocratic’
The Hill ^ | 5/31/2024 | Caroline Vakil

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slammed the jury’s verdict in former President Trump’s New York hush money case Thursday, calling it “profoundly undemocratic” and warning it will “backfire” against Democrats in November. “America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government’s separation of powers or weaponizing the courts. You can’t save democracy by destroying it first,” Kennedy wrote on the social platform X. “The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom.”

No, they will just cheat harder.

Expect 200,000,000 ballots cast for Joe Biden this November.

Not 200,000,000 VOTES, but 200,000,000 BALLOTS.

We would hope so. Unfortunately they will find a more corrupt, immoral, unethical, illegal way to step around the hole that they have dug.

On top of that we have a culture that has degraded. We used to once upon a time, not tolerate such underhanded, stinky methods. Now there is a good portion of the population that thinks this kind of behavior is just ok. This is why democrats keep getting worse and worse.

while I am glad he recognizes that the trial was a farce,
it is regrettable he critiques it as “undemocratic”

the judiciary is not supposed to be democratic

What’s to stop them from farming Trump’s appeal hearing to a similarly corrupt judge as Merchan?

Indeed they will

And cheating methods have been institutionalized and protected by the power of law in some states

Besides publicly fighting them, the right needs to be quietly working on methods at the local operational level to film, document and expose such cheating.

There's a good portion of the population who come from places where it's the norm. And they're pouring in by the millions and bringing their mindset along. Corrupt judiciary? Yeah, so what? As long as "my side" wins, who cares.

And we’ve crossed the Rubicon. There’s no coming back from this. Welcome to the New Normal. Adjust accordingly

“undemocratic”

I would like to kick in the groin many times anyone who says, “democracy” when referring to this government!

IT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC! G__ D___ IT! Anyone who calls this government a democracy should be hung from the yardarm after being kicked in the groin!

You are correct. It is a no-conscience, unembarrassed, communist dictatorship!

War was declared a long time ago. Only one side is fighting and it ain’t us.

A photograph of the appeal court judges appeared on FR yesterday. It is a group of 5 or 6 black women who look like they would deny the appeal in a NY minute. They are a scary looking bunch.

Quite true. And, I wish more people would recognize that fact.

That was a fake thread. Taken down within minutes.

I don’t like the guy, but people do pay attention him simply because of his last name.

Maybe God will use this imperfect person to spread this news to people who may not otherwise hear it.

You know, for all his faults, I will give RFK Jr. this: He’s at least honest.

And he hit on something exactly right: There’s nothing at all democratic about the democrats. From now on, they should be called the undemocrat party. It better suits their chosen colors of late.

He had some pretty leftist views in the past. Has he changed? Has he addressed some of those things he’s said in the past?

Ai contraire, Mr. Kennedy, it was perfectly democratic.
