You would sacrifice your life or your family to teach Trump a lesson?

Stormy Daniels could have disappeared very quietly. She chose to be a witness instead, and Trump has borne the fallout from that case seeing the light of day.

Look at all the #MeToo abusers who fell from power and public favor - their behavior was “known” publicly in their industry but not widely across the country - and so they remained in positions of power and influence to continue that abuse.

When has a MAGA fanatic gone out and attacked an individual that crossed Trump? I’m sure it’s happened, but I can’t think of a single incident. Does Pelosi’s husband count? That felt more like a, “kill libs” thing, and she was a much higher profile target than you and I ever will be.

I’d press charges, be scared shitless and have guns salted around the house like Easter eggs. My kids would be staying inside unless we drove away to get outdoors. And my wife’s pistol training would go from, “how to have fun safely” to “here’s how self-defense works”.

Shitty way to live? You fucking bet, but it would only be temporary, soon forgotten. A Trump Presidency would be permanent.

If Trump wins in November do you think he will spare your family that you protected by not teaching him a lesson?

Do you not think its cowardly to not stand up for your fellow citizens and instead stand for only yourself?

It’s like Hurricane Katrina all over again. “Just leave the poors to suffer, fuck em, we are rich and escaped so who cares.”

USA if falling apart because everyone cares about their own skins more than the collective.

SO…you WOULD get your children killed so a Trump staffer gets a slap on the wrist? How does that help the collective again?

The fact that no one even considers organizing in reverse to protect this person against the crazies is really revealing, you know.

Black Panthers started because they knew they couldn’t trust external forces to protect them.

Glad to know none of y’all will stand up for this persons family, and instead think them standing up to this would equal “killing their own kids” instead of you giving an inch and helping protect them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
