"Please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated January 6 hostages," an announcer said. Trump then saluted and the crowd stood as the "J6 Hostages' Song," a rendition of the National Anthem, played. The song, "Justice for All" by the J6 Prison Choir, features the voice of Trump reciting the pledge of allegiance.

Trump then opened his speech by thanking the rioters and calling them "unbelievable patriots." "Thank you very much, and you see the spirit from the hostages, and that's what they arehostages," he said.

(1,855 posts)Are you talking about the 1,000+ individuals who have been convicted of crimes for their actions on January 6 or someone else?

(47,580 posts)A man who now praises the criminal insurrectionists he emboldened.
And is now running for US president.
A man who is a known traitor, guilty of treason and walks free.
Free to become president again.
Thanks to the US criminal justice system.
I hope some of them feel some shame.
Someone else. Thought you were lumping Trump in with the others.

apparently the SDNY did not believe they were "relevant" when they refused to release them a year ago. While the potential of any of these documents being germane to the case remains pending, this delay once again causes the timely prosecution of this matter to languish and benefits the Slobfather once again.

(1,855 posts)Dont get to create issues out of whole cloth and typically dont comment on political disputes. And do you want to take a shot at answering how they are traitors?
Irish_Dem
(47,580 posts)Read their rulings. They legislate from the bench.
I didn't call them traitors.
Why would I defend something I didn't say?
But if the shoe fits, they need to wear it.
TexasDem69
(1,855 posts)And now you suggest they are? How are they traitors? Lets start with an easy onehow is Justice Barrett a traitor? And then how are any of the three liberal justices traitors?
And legislating from the bench is bullshit. Democrats say that when they dont like a ruling and Republicans say that when they dont. Give me a specific example of an instance where the Supreme Court created legislation.

(246 posts)Your clinging to the fake idea they are persecuted. Millions of people in the country have been in jail for many different crimes most of which less than theirs. You dont say anything for them. Youre just pathetically using these people as a human shield. Wont work. Very few people agree with your representation.
