Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.) on Wednesday applauded a grand jury’s rejection of an effort by federal prosecutors to indict six Democratic lawmakers who last year circulated a video urging members of the military to refuse illegal orders.
“Political lawfare is not normal, not acceptable, and needs to stop,” he warned.

Why do you couch everything in someone’s perceived political affiliation as if it lends credibility?
You started a thread about how the “right wing” WSJ had an article criticizing Trump. When I read the WSJ I think it’s about as right wing as Pravda.
Tillis is a lame duck with an axe to grind.
Try to discuss ideas more and political party less.

Because of people like you who suggest that every substantive criticism of Trump is nothing but knee-jerk, lefty bullshit.
And why don't you practice what you preach and offer a substantive, reasoned response to my thread-starter.

And stop lying. I didn't characterize the Journal as "right wing." My thread about the WSJ calling for a pause on ICE operations in Minneapolis made no mention of the WSJ's political bent. I quoted the piece because I subscribe to the Journal, I read the piece, and i thought it was compelling. I quoted the New York Post a few posts after that one.
You're tough to take seriously.
@big-ryan I’m often critical of Trump. You must be thinking of another guy.
Whether the stupid video cut by Democratic lawmakers rises to the level of criminality or not is uninteresting to me.
The idea that people are tying themselves in knots over potential “lawfare” after what Trump was put through is fucking ridiculous to me.
You picked the very last person in the world who is willing to let bygones by bygones. And this was all entirely predictable.

This is you, you wrote this:
To be clear, those weren't my words. That was a quote from the far-left Wall Street Journal.
Lol.
You’re a piece of shit liar.

"Far-left Wall Street Journal?" You're not making sense, and continuing to lie. Let's see a screenshot.
And why are you always so angry and unhinged? Jeezus God, get a grip.

Page 3, first post of this thread. Do you deny that’s you?
Naturally you used the quote feature wrong and some shitty attempt at irony, hence the stupid “lol” to cap off your post. Shooter does that too, because good irony requires laughing at your own jokes so people know it’s ironic.

Here's what you wrote tonight, purportedly quoting me: "You started a thread about how the 'right wing' WSJ had an article criticizing Trump." That's a lie. I didn't write that.
Something's not right about the chain you then produced. You're identified as contributing to the chain, so your content would have the gray background. Mine should have a white background. Did you delete something? Did you refer to the WSJ as a lefty publication, which would be ridiculous? Wouldn't surprise me.
I don't have time for your little games. Go scream at someone else.

A lot more GOP Senators than Tillis. Anyone with a functioning brain knows how far out of bounds this pathetic effort by was Pirro was.

Here is the statute Pirro presented to the GJ
§2387. Activities affecting armed forces generally
(a) Whoever, with intent to interfere with, impair, or influence the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the military or naval forces of the United States:
(1) advises, counsels, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military or naval forces of the United States; or
(2) distributes or attempts to distribute any written or printed matter which advises, counsels, or urges insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military or naval forces of the United States-
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
(b) For the purposes of this section, the term "military or naval forces of the United States" includes the Army of the United States, the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, and Coast Guard Reserve of the United States; and, when any merchant vessel is commissioned in the Navy or is in the service of the Army or the Navy, includes the master, officers, and crew of such vessel.
I don’t think there is any question the 6 democrats intended to influence the military/NG Trump deployed in the cites with the implied bashing of their commander in chief. But this case would be impossible to win if the indictment was handed down. The GJ made the right decision. I agree with it.
More clownish petty retribution lawfare that will go absolutely nowhere. Do they not know that crimes need to be committed before people can be prosecuted?

The Obama and Biden DOJ’s built a substantial library of materials about how to investigate political opponents instead of investigating crimes. It would be a shame to have all that material go to waste.
I think that’s absolutely nothing less than MAGA bullshit, but if you honestly believe it and think it’s wrong and won’t criticize the extensive actual lawfare under this administration, it would be very hypocritical. Hypocrisy is a top 10 MAGA trait.The Obama and Biden DOJ’s built a substantial library of materials about how to investigate political opponents instead of investigating crimes. It would be a shame to have all that material go to waste.
Holder’s and Garland’s actions are not MAGA bullshit; and I was being facetious anyway. My views about investigating people and not crimes has never changed.
Your MAGA obsession is getting the best of you.
