4 cases, 91 individual indictments.

I know, it’s a lot to keep track of. (And those are just the criminal cases!) There’s also the fraud case in NYC, and the E Jean Carroll case, both of which he’s appealing (and will lose), and Carroll might just sue him again for a hat trick!

Even his most ardent supporters don’t take him seriously. They just love how he is just as racist and fascist like them. Not one of his supporters will be voting for him so he can make their lives better. All they want him is to make black and brown people’s lives miserable.

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

There is a not insignificant number of his supporters who think he’s saving the country from a collection of weird conspiracies (remember the pizza shop bullshit).

  • They are being told cities are raging hell holes (one of them I talked with was afraid to visit his local city of around 100,000 people without having multiple guns on him)
  • Trans people are either trying to cheat at sports or grooming their kids (something the Republican Party seems to disproportionately do themselves)
  • Libs are both too stupid to see all their “truths”, and cunning evil bastards who want to eliminate them, their gas stoves, and their precious fucking guns (again projection).

Yes plenty are racist bigots, but a lot are dumb and brainwashed by social media, OANN and Fox’s constant stream of bullshit.

If the Supreme Court rules the president has immunity, what would stop Biden from throwing Trump in jail?

“Taking the high road” which is just working out fantastically.

Because for some reason, Democrats insist on fighting with one arm tired behind their backs, out of this fear of being seen as unprofessional or something. Meanwhile Republicans are eye gouging and using steel chairs and get away with it. I think it’s time some democrats grew some balls and started using Trump’s bullshit against him

In jail? What would stop him from just putting a bullet in his head?

Biden won’t do it because Dems are still living in a fantasy world where they can compromise with Repubs and not get stabbed in the back.

If he does do it then SCOTUS will suddenly have original interpretation which makes it unconstitutional when a Dem does it, so IDK, maybe I agree that he might as well not stoop the that level.

Ok tho I know this isn’t really the place but this article’s picture perfectly captures how I picture it whenever I read the words “trump said/did”… like really look at his face! He looks like a fucking giant crying baby throwing a fit, not some strong great leader fighting injustice.

Seriously.

(Sorry to the baby to compare you to that monster. I hope that is the worst thing to ever happen in your life)

Trump doesn’t lie about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments, but not what he wants to do.

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!
