To me these are the darkest days for our constitution. Not from our former President but from our current President.philip964 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 7:28 pm

Never has our democracy been in such peril. Never in our history has the current President who is running for re-election attempted to put his rival in the upcoming election in jail. This is what happens in Russia, Iran, Venezuela and any banana republic you can think of.
I respect your service to our country and your right to freely express your opinion.
Should the democrats manage a victory in November, will there ever be a real Republican President again. Why would any successful businessman ever run for office against a democrat again after that.
Should Trump die in jail after a loss in November, do you think the Constitution you support, survive after that?

Remember, oohrah’s posts in the past would indicate he does not support the Constitution (example below):
Oohrah took an oath but he has already broken the oath publicly in his posts. What brought this up was his blatant hypocrisy in his vitriol in the conviction of Trump which was not Constitutional. You have abrogated your oath.oohrah wrote: ↑Sat Apr 24, 2021 11:39 am I do NOT support Constitutional carry. There are no bars to carrying a handgun already. Texas is a "shall issue" state. Any law-abiding citizen without a criminal record can buy and carry a handgun if they demonstrate proficiency and knowledge of the law. They cannot be denied. Rights sustained.
I believe with rights comes responsibility. I also believe carrying a gun in public without training or knowledge of the law is irresponsible. I know I will get a lot of pushback on this, so don't expect me to respond to your arguments. Just wanted you to know that there are responsible gun owners out there who do not support this.
I support your Constitutional Right to freely express your opinion, but decry your cowardice to respond to arguments. You just want to throw out opinions and hide from the responses.
As to your service, I am having to rely on your limited public responses. From your posts, as a Marine, you seem further away from "Chesty" Puller and more in line with Lee Harvey Oswald.
What happened to Trump was a travesty of justice and a threat to the USA, the Constitution, and the Marines.
