          Depends, there’s certainly a good argument to be made that the bail system is flawed, etc. But trump was arraigned and is out on bail.

          They lock people up without due process awaiting trial all the time though right?

          No. No they literally do not.

              I’m not surprised that people in jail don’t have a strong grasp on the difference between due process and speedy trials.

              How does that show lack of due process? And what do you define as “all the time?”

              DeAndre Davis has been waiting 651 days in a Sacramento County jail. Charged with the murder of a 21-year-old man shot during a robbery in 2019, he hasn’t been tried and he hasn’t been sentenced — and he hasn’t even had a preliminary hearing to decide if there’s enough evidence to take him to trial.

              For Davis, it’s been an agonizing ordeal made worse by the pandemic. Held without bail because of the severity of the charges

              While this is all awful and should all change, it is hardly being held “without due process”

              Things can be bad without being the worst thing possible.

        Due process does not mean, “scott free until there’s a guilty verdict”, you utter numpty. These aren’t all civil charges.

          I suppose being rude makes you feel good, strong, and right.

          I know he’s rich, but a 200k bail is not Scott free. People pay bail all the time.

              Yes, sure. There are many issues with the bail system, but people should not be locked up without due process. Charges were brought, bail was set, and he’s awaiting trial. Time will tell the rest of it, but that’s not getting off Scott free.

        The wheels of justice grind very slowly. The bigger the case, the longer it takes to build.

          Yes, fair. I want an air tight case, and that takes time. It’s frustrating. But a flimsy case would be worse. Putting him directly into jail would be worse and set a terrible precedent. People seem eager to fall head first into his narrative.

        I heard a mix of boos, cheering, and random noise. So you could make a headline that says either and it would still be “technically” true. The best kind of truth.

              “Fascist criminal with plans to retake highest office in the country is audibly disliked in public event amidst multiple court cases and investigations, demonstrating that the populace wants him behind bars while he continues to make public appearances for his fascist supporters. The outcome of what happens with Donald Trump will determine if the United States becomes a fascist ethnostate or a precedent is created to hold criminals in public office more accountable.”

                I was just pointing out that the media spins everything and that you shouldn’t buy into it that much. I even warned that that the consequences of buying into the narratives can lead to what happened in 2016. So… what? Are you people actually insane?

                Of what…? Easy to just say a buzzword and not have any context behind it.

                What have I said that was incorrect? Do you think a crowd of people in a football stadium booing someone (as the headline would have you think) is the same as a few people (maybe even 50 people, sure) booing at a car outside of a stadium?

                If it helps you think logically, I did not vote for Trump and I’m not planning to.

        The video inside the stadium was mostly cheers the groups that posted up by the entrance to boo him as he drove in was more boos. It’s a Clemson South Carolina game. It would be absurd to think a majority of people booed him.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former President Donald Trump was met with loud boos as he arrived at Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina on Saturday ahead of the Palmetto Bowl.

    The former president was invited to watch the football game at the request of Governor Henry McMaster, who became Haley’s successor after Trump named her U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 2017.

    The MAGA leader was greeted with audible boos as his black SUV was arriving at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, according to video clips shared on X, formerly Twitter.

    Simon Ateba, Chief White House Correspondent at Today News Africa, shared a video on X showing the crowd inside the stadium cheering and clapping for the former president.

    Trump’s stop in South Carolina comes amid potential key updates involving his criminal and civil trials that could tarnish his 2024 presidential campaign.

    “Additional video from AP’s Meg Kinnard captures the mix of cheers and boos when Trump + McMaster walked onto the field tonight for a quick appearance during halftime of the USC-Clemson football game,” Byrd posted.
