They should be worried. With the political show trials going on, if this all doesn’t work and he does get back in the White House, the gloves are gonna be off. Yeah I know this’ll piss people off, but they’ve literally decided to weaponize the judiciary against him for being president. Guy does think his term did throw a wrench in TPTB’s plans and they don’t want that happening again. The states these trials are happening in and the timing is not fucking subtle. If this was not politically motivated, these trials would have been happening in 2012 or 2005.

Trump’s criminal charges involve his handling of documents after his Presidency, his attempt to illegally hold on to power at the end of his Presidency, and his financial records from when he ran for President in 2016. Do you think Antifa has a time machine?

We actually do have a time machine, but only one. Jay, if you’re reading this, it’s my turn to use it last week.

Could I have made it more obvious what I was talking about than by stating those years and using the words “trials” instead of “charges”? like did you really think I was talking about those? JFC.

The article is talking specifically about the Jan 6 stuff, which he is facing a criminal trial over. In fact, when Mitch McConnell voted to acquit Trump in the impeachment for that, he directly stated that it was because it was more suitable for a criminal trial.

You made no indication what you were talking about and you’re “surprised” that people think you were talking about the article.

Ladies and gentlemen, the intelligence and honesty of trump supporters on full display right here.

The reverend has aaked a valid question regarding your position and you have run away and hid, in typical conservative fashion.

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word. Honesty is simply not a conservative trait, so I think it was nice of the reverend to even include you in the adult conversation. You can’t say we didn’t try.

Whole thread read. Answer the question or surrender that specific point. Refusing to argue entirely is a concession of the whole. You don’t have to concede your whole argument. Just one point. Have responsibility for your words

They haven’t weaponized shit. He’s still being handled with kid gloves. TPTB are still protecting him for the most part. The reason he wasn’t investigated in the past is because TPTB are mostly rich assholes like him that protect each other from being treated like us peasants.

Most of the opposition still isn’t willing to hold Trump to the same standards as most people because even they’re rich, corrupt, conservative shitheads. The prosecutions are politically motivated to be weaker than they should be for his crimes because all prosecutions against elites are weak. Most of them would spend life in prison if justice was blind.
