A lot of the right-leaning posters are running out of ideas.

As much as they hate it, reality might be starting to set in.

I'm sure the Nazi's would say the same. Immoral people, barbaric people never admit to their immorality because they want to be "good."

Well you should let her know that what she did was not a crime and that she should withdraw her plea. She will be thrilled to hear from you, I'm sure.

A government can make whatever it wants a crime. Saudi Arabia makes homosexuality a crime. Some countries make it illegal to offer any criticism of their leaders a crime. We in the civilized world recognize those laws as violations of human civil rights. This is, whatever federal law Mueller is using, is an abuse of human civil rights.

And the fact you're not outraged shows how easy it's for simple minds to be made to support human rights abuses.

Don't commit the crime if you can't do the time, as they say. Absurd screeching about human rights abuses just makes you look ridiculous and it won't help criminals avoid prosecution.

What's absurd is your absolute disregard for humans rights abuses. "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" is ridiculous especially since there are so many federal statues in the USA, you can't possibly know all the crimes. Again, minimizing human rights abuses.

Screeching about human rights? Pathetic, you're. I better not catch you say anything towards any country about their human rights abuses. Saudi Arabia wants to behead homosexuals and stone adulterous women? Don't do the time if you can't do the crime. Russia imprisons journalists for criticizing Putin? Don't do the time if you can't do the crime.

I'm not going down some rabbit hole of lunacy with some nutter who equates prosecution of criminal acts with human rights abuses. Sorry, go peddle crazy somewhere else.

LMAO, this is great stuff.

She's going to plead to committing a crime that has been on the books for decades, and is probably similar to the laws in all other major countries. It's very simple, unless you can't accept the truth.

I'm quite interested to see how much time she gets. I don't think it'll be much at all, if any. I think she sung like a sparrow, a red one at that, and will likely be shown leniency.

Indeed.

We already have an ample supply of crazy here.
