Jack Smith walked into a Senate hearing room this morning with Donald Trump threatening to prosecute him, and he told the country Trump committed serious crimes anyway.ContentsJACK SMITH STANDS UP TO TRUMP DESPITE THREATS OF PROSECUTIONMUSICIAN HITS TRUMP WITH LEGAL THREAT OVER PROPAGANDA ADTRUMP MOCKS “SLEEPY JOE” THEN NODS OFF ON CAMERAMARK CARNEY IS BEATING […]
Jack Smith has been saying the right things all along, you just haven’t been paying attention.
And if you expected him to make public announcements about it when he was still conducting the investigation, then you don’t understand how the US legal system works because that kind of shit can get solid evidence thrown out in court. He had to cross every t and dot every i in this case, and he did his due diligence. The only place it broke down was when the scotus punted the trial till after the election.
In other words, nothing at all happened
In other words, you continue to fail to comprehend the situation
The plan you support failed miserably. Being completely convinced it was still the right move seems insane to me, but do what you want
The insanity is a projection of your own condition.
You’re saying (retroactively) that it was the wrong move, just because it failed? By that logic, we shouldn’t even try to stop fascism, because if we fail then it was the wrong move.
That’s a shit take if I’ve ever seen one.
Yes, plans that don’t work out can retroactively be called the wrong decision because they failed. Of fucking course they can. The alternative is attempting the same thing over and over but expecting a different result, which is a popular description of insanity. You’re ridiculing the fundamental process of learning and growth and seeming proud of it because you think its helping you win an argument. That might honestly be the dumbest thing I’ve seen someone do.
I have no interest in discussing things with someone who would rather double down with insane ideas then admit they were wrong.
You’re the one who’s wrong. Learning and growth doesn’t mean abandoning every course of action the moment something goes wrong. It means identifying what went wrong and learning from that, not simply accepting whatever bs take some keyboard warrior on lemmy says you should take away from it.
If I were Jack Smith, my two main “lessons learned” would be this: be appointed to Special Counsel a year sooner, and work within a system where the Supreme Court doesn’t actively delay court proceedings against the main who appointed 6 of of 9 of the sitting Justices.
Neither of which are things that Jack Smith had any control over. You might as well try telling poor people to just be born rich next time, for all the good your advice is worth.
Am I “ridiculing the fundamental process of learning and growth” by pointing out that that’s a factor beyond their control, and they did nothing wrong by being born as they are?
