So … Don’t drain the swamp?
Well they started drinking the swamp water and realized that they liked the taste of sewage
The opposite of what they said in 2016. That’s Republicanism for you. No values or integrity.
“Back the Blue! Except when they’re felons!”
Or when the blue is going after one of their “own”, then the blue is the one corrupt and the system is unfair. (see: Jan 6th)
tbh both presidents are bad trump is a criminal and meanwhile biden is a old man who has dementia and is slowly dying
You… Just described Trump 2x in a row…
How are those two things even comparable? One is a fascist and the other an old man. They don’t belong in the same sentence let alone a discussion about who is a qualified candidate for president. Get the fuck out of here with this garbage.
Ok well here is how there are comparable 1 Trump didn’t get America into any wars Biden has already got America into 2 wars Biden can’t even speak a full sentence while yes Trump is a criminal at least he can run a Frickin country
Lol, are you joking? You’ve got to be a troll, no one is this stupid.
at least he can run a Frickin country
Er … evidence collected between 2016 and 2020 suggests not.
Playing golf, watching Fox News and munching McDonald’s does nothing for the country.
And milions of Americans that died during the pandemic for his nonsense?
Well at least he can get a sentence out
They are completely blinded by this guy.
They’re OK with having a convicted criminal for president. He was a criminal for the entire term.
He’s been a criminal for all of his adult life. He’s just rich and white and flew under the radar enough. If he had just fucked off into retirement on some island rather than becoming president (and committing more crimes) you’d probably never hear about him anymore and he could have lived in peace.
They say some people are so poor, all they have is money.
But he got tired of money, he gets off on power and being the prophet of his little cult
yeah but then he wouldn’t be the megalomaniac that he is
He’s no Jesus. Certainly no fucking Elvis.
Nelson Mandela was a convicted criminal when he was elected president of South Africa. Vaclav Havel was a convicted criminal when he was elected president of the Czech Republic. Corrupting the legal system to criminalize political opposition does very little to make a political figure less popular. Often, it just makes them martyrs.

It’s a good thing that didn’t happen. Having an independent state prosecutor bring state crimes in front of a jury of his peers in a public trial has been a great example of democracy working as intended.
Trump is no Mandela. And something tells me Trump’s supporters would feel very different about voting for someone like Mandela…
Kind of missing the point there, bub.
Nah, it’s you missing the point.
Trump wasn’t convicted for who he was. He doesn’t get a pass because of who he is or the fact he’s running for President, either. A jury of 12 people unanimously declared that the prosecution proved their case 34 times. Any one of them could have said no to the charges. In fact, one seemed to be very interested in that course of action. But in a room with only 11 other people, he weighed the evidence, considered the charges, listened to the arguments made by both the Defence and Prosecution, and then, with all of that weighing on his mind, and with the added weight of his conscience, came to the conclusion that he couldn’t get Trump off on a SINGLE charge.
Put Trump’s supporters on a jury for a trial of a Black man doing the shit Trump did, they’d ABSOLUTELY convict that Black man of the charges they insist were cooked up for Trump on the exact same evidence, WHILE protesting that Trump was unfairly convicted by “Demoncrat plants and lawyers and Deep State Operatives”. Fortunately, our court system is designed to filter out these kinds of people, which is why I don’t buy your bullshit about ‘corrupting the legal system’. It’s not corrupted, despite all the effort Team Pepe puts into it. Now buzz off with your nonsense.
34 Felonies is fine and dandy with the party of law and order. Fucking clowns.
The head of Nixon in a jar must be super pissed right about now
Still pisses me off that Ford didn’t pardon Nixon for a crime, he pardoned him for a crime he might have done. A then reasonable SCOTUS would probably overturned it. BTW, charges were being drawn up by a young promising attorney on the Watergate Committee, Hillary Clinton.
The Party of Law and Order!
And the Olympic Games in shifting the goal post has officially opened!
The goalpost is only red because the goalpost is moving so fast away
I actually got this reference 😂
This surely will end well.
This surely won’t like, embolden anyone, to do anything, or anything crazy like that.
They’re also ok with Russia being a heavy influence in their party of choice. Not surprising they’re ok with a felon.
Of course they are.
See we were worried about Russian sleeper agents that get activated by a codeword, we never expected them to rally behind and vote for Putin the Lesser.
There’s this thing called the Overton Window. Republicans are way past that. It’s no longer relevant. Whatever their guy does will always be fine while if his opponents do it, it will be the end of all that is good and just.
Seems like the people capable of saying “I don’t know” are the only ones with consistency.
I’ve consistently been of the opinion that a felon shouldn’t be able to become president.
And I’ve consistently been of the opinion they should barring certain crimes. I hate this felon’s guts, not a fan of most felons to be honest, but a vandalism felony as a 19 year old? Drug dealers? And that’s not getting into felonies I’m questionable as to if they should be crimes.
+1 for angry commies message. I believe that’s why we would actually want to be able to elect a felon.
It’s up to the people to use their brains (…lmfao) and try to understand if it’s really just a political hit or if they’re a legitimate criminal. Of course in a world of Faux News, Newsmax, and Facebook Karens, figuring out what to believe is becoming increasingly more impossible as is the intent.
It’s getting old but it’s insane how many comments this fits so I need to say it again: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!
The problem of billionaires and propagandists are one in the same.
It’s up to the people to use their brains (…lmfao)
My radicalizing adult realization was that as a species we’re incredibly dumb.
And I don’t mean that in terms of the usual way in which people say “people are dumb!” and throw their hands in the air to explain the latest absurd thing.
I mean on a deeper, more fundamental and hopeless level. We are not reasonable, rational creatures. Just because we figured out what rationality means and can employ it as a tool, generally across most of our species we are survival machines, and our brains are tuned to do one thing only, which is explain why you feel things so you can predict danger.
This makes us ridiculously easy to manipulate and sway, because we have vastly deep brains that will create an entire universe of stories to explain an emotion, and it will do this in your own voice so you think it’s your own good ideas and it will fool you into believing your own stories, even if they don’t make a shred of sense. This is why you can have educated, smart people like doctors and nurses become anti-vax or climate scientists denying climate change. We are entirely emotional creatures and we trick ourselves into believing our fears all day long, every day, and we can’t ever get out. We’re stuck down a hole with no way out. Lost in our own world of biases and attaching to backwards storylines to explain them.
That could open the gates to one party weaponizing the justice system and jailing the opposition. That’s the only reason I don’t support such a requirement.
I would answer IDK in the poll
Hmmmm that’s true, I hadn’t thought of that.
Also if time has been served then there should be no problem. (Not relevant to Trump I know)
No surprise. They ended up agreeing that he was guilty of impeachable offenses too, but were okay with it and didn’t want him to be kicked out or made non-electable because of them. “One of us”, literally.
How often are we going to act surprised that it’s a cult, and he is their Fuhrer? This is getting ridiculous, the time for analysis of their side is over. We should long be in the phase of action.
