How do I know if I’m a MAGA?

| MAGA is predicated on a culture of victimhood. Someone is always infringing on their delicate sense of entitlement. It’s a toxic stew of ignorance, antiintellectualism, distrust and paranoia, racism, mysogyny and xenophobia fueled by an ecosystem of grifters and dollar store protofascists propagating lies and disinformation. The history of the world has seen this play out time after time. |

If you can't differentiate between "your" and "you're", you're just your average ignorant liberal. |

The irony is strong. |

You are going to have to show where it requires the trial to be in the state/district. It says the accused has the right to an impartial jury from such a state/district. No where does it say the accused *MUST* stand trial there. |

You’re absolutely right. I’m an average ignorant liberal. The thing is, the average ignorant liberal is 14 IQ points to the right of 100 with a large standard deviation. Plenty of liberal idiots, plenty of liberal geniuses. The average MAGA (they’re all ignorant) is 14 points to the left of 100, very tightly wrapped around the median. |

PP suggested it is too difficult to think such a jury could be impartial. The framers thought otherwise, so strongly that the made it a constitutional right of the accused. |

OK, here it is: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_18 |

No, learn to read. The framers in no way assumed the impartiality of the jury in the state/district where the crime is committed. The fact that they made it a requirement for the jury to be impartial indicates that they are concerned about the impartiality of such a jury. |

It identifies the place where the accused has a right to trial by jury. It doesn't say the accused has a right to choose a jury from wherever the accused wishes. Court rules for procedure governs venue changes. If the accused wants a change in venue, there are standards to meet. |

LOL, did you read this link? The very first sentence says "Unless a statute or these rules permit otherwise..." And oh, look, Rule 21: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_21 Learn to read. It's a useful skill for life. |

Play with the semantics all you want but the reality is motions for change of venue are very rarely granted in a federal criminal case. Even the Boston Marathin bonnets couldn’t get their cases transferred. Several of the Jan 6 terrorists also have had frivolous motions denied. Juries are to consider the evidence in an impartial manner. Period. And DC juries in criminal cases skew older and more conservative “law-and-order” than someone from a red state fed on a steady diet of Fox News manure might expect. An overwhelming number of felony level cases plead out because defendants know this and federal prosecutors generally aren’t going to bring a weak case to trial unless they’re named John Durham. |

Yes isn’t it. The one who believes in a stolen election, drinking bleach, the FBI is a terrorist organization, etc is talking about irony. |

So you are conceding the point that the trial isn't required to take place in DC, and in fact, cannot take place in DC if the government can't produce an impartial Jury. |

Why do this? There are lots of poor good people who just don’t have money. Some make poor decisions but being poor is expensive. Why pretend it’s about class and socioeconomic policy when MAGA tends to have more money than the average person, they just make crap decisions based on keeping White, Christianist men in power? |

That’s only if it’s impossible to have a fair trial in the district in which the crime occurred. That’s not the case here. You learn to read. |
