    Lol Republicans want no penalty if he’s convicted, but I’m willing to bet those assholes would throw the whole library at any minority breaking the law or woman seeking an abortion.

        Imagine this, What if it was… Obama instead of Trump?

        EDIT: I should have put /s. I don’t care about party affiliation. The comments after mine are right, lock up anyone who attemped a coup.

          If a political leader breaks the law they should be punished severely and to the full extent of the law. No matter which affiliation. This isn’t hard logic to understand. In fact, political leaders should face even harsher punishments given the power they are expected to be responsible for.

          If Obama did what Trump did, then he would deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison.

            But that’s what MAGA doesn’t get. If our political leaders break the law, then they should be punished according to it.

            They don’t believe that we really believe this. They just think we’re saying to appear superior to them. It’s easy to say that we believe in the rule of law but, for them, there’s no evidence that we will submit to the consequences of law enforcement when it doesn’t favor us. Except the evidence that Democrats live up to our ideals to some extent is that Al Franken stepped down in the midst of the #MeToo era after being accused of sexual assault. And also Obama wasn’t a seditious cry baby ass bitch like 45.

            In other words, MAGA beliefs only make sense in a decontexutalized vacuum where history doesn’t exist and evidence is superfluous to political expediency.

    Bad news, the court of public opinion has or should have little to no bearing on legal proceedings.

    But hey great news, the court of public opinion has or should have little to no bearing on legal proceedings.

    I don’t care what anyone thinks, including myself. I want the legal system to do its job correctly. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I have some MAGA family who brush away all these indictments by saying, “The deep state doesn’t want him to win.”

    I have no idea what it’s going to take for these cultists to drop their Trump

      Nothing. We win elections in 2024 and exceed how many voted last time. Volunteer with voting groups and get people registered and aware of how important it is.

      Once some normality is restored, only then do these people realize the world moved on without them and possibly stop.
