That's straight up corrupt third world country stuff.

"Sh*thole countries" was projection

Everything is a projection with these people. Including the pedophilia.

How is it corrupt? The DA chose to resign, they weren't forced out.

They were prevented from following just policy, and were being forced to perform actions that go against professional ethics, politically driven prosecutions unconnected from fact or law.

People resigned to send the message to the public: the integrity of the office had been compromised, and the lawyers (lawyers!!) couldn't stay due to their ethics. This is a difficult thing to understand for people that lack ethics.

"Just policy"?

If you boss asks you to do something that is a legitimate request, and you refuse for personal reasons, that's on you.

It is in no way "corruption".

I as someone with power over you will repeatedly force you to do an illegal and or immoral act. I have doubt you have the balls to resign rather than follow along, but if you do resign I hope you don't say you were forced out. Be honest.

Reported for personal attack.

How's that a personal attack? And if it is, remove that. The rest of the argument still stands.

It is going to get a lot worse. Trump's eventual goal is to send the military to all Democrat-controlled cities. Back in September Trump gathered military leaders in a room and told them America is under "invasion from within". He said: "This is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That's a war too. It's a war from within."

We went from the "War On Drugs" to the "War On Ourselves".

You spend too much time on the internet.

I see you all over these comments. People were denying it would get as bad as it has already gotten.

I'm here indeed. How bad is it, objectively?

Ask the people who are dying on the streets.

These people wouldn't be dying if they weren't out there picking a fight with the officers.

Right, it is far better to let them roll us over with no protests.

Right. Meanwhile the military is preparing to deploy... not to the middle east, but to Minnesota.
