This is what happens when you don’t bring the fucking hammer down on violent authoritarian fascists. Who has to die to make it clear that this sack of shit needs to be bound and gagged while his trial proceeds?
Garland would have to care and treats him and other Republicans with kid gloves. The kid whom leaked documents was insta-prison. Yet Trump sold out the entire country and the DOJ is a Zz z.
That’s not a problem. Anyone can campaign at any time. That’s totally legal and fine.
What’s absolutely absurd is the level of support he still gets from Republicans! He owns them.
If some former Democrat president did this stuff the support from Democrats for that person would be near zero. No one would consider such a candidacy even remotely within the realm of possibility.
Republicans just don’t give a shit about corruption. Some will see this statement and say, “no, they care about it when it’s not one of their people” but that’s 100% the same thing. Corruption is all about picking winners and losers based on what your side thinks of them.
I’m curious what percentage of republicans actually support him vs what percentage only pretends to support him under duress because of violent threats from the crazies.
He’s allowed to campaign from prison if convicted, too. Eugene Debs did it, after all. Logistically, I’m not sure how it’d work with a former president. If he’s ever locked up, it’s going to have to be in a supermax, for his own safety. The Unabomber’s old cell in ADX Florence will be the perfect fit for the needs of a former president and fellow Ivy League graduate! But at any rate, there’s no law stopping him from campaigning by mail.
Remember when politicians at the peaks of their careers resigned over a foot in their mouth, a mispronunciation (or spelling potatoe), being exposed for being a dick?
Mf is giving handjobs in front of kids talking about trans pedophiles and she’s not even reprimanded.
Its crazy how much leeway he is getting. Back during the Bush years a guy in my town had a hang bush sign on a cardboard cutout of him hanging from a tree. The dude was arrested and held for “terrorist threats.” The same was not true of similar threats made toward Obama. This was in liberal western Washington. The fascists have always gotten handled with kid gloves in this country and it seriously needs to be addressed if we have any hope of coming out the other side.
Not that I Don’t agree with you and this orange fuck just should not be allowed to be on any form of media or government, Kathy Griffin did some tasteless stuff on Twitter about beheading Trump and wasn’t arrested. It was tasteless but literally everything trump does is classless and tasteless.
I don’t, it was back in like 2002-3 and the local paper doesn’t have their archives up anymore. He ended up having the charges dropped, but months later.

The fact that he’s still campaigning with ninety fucking Federal charges against him is absolutely absurd.
Ninety-one. Accuracy is important.
Ah yes, my mistake

I mean, we’ve literally already established that overt corruption “just makes you smart.”
This is what republicans are voting for. They are fine with corruption if it means they win.

And his cult still carries on. And those traitorous fuckers have the gall to call themselves patriots.

Do you have a source for this? I’m not saying you’re lying, that’s just pretty flagrant 1A abuse and I’m curious to read more

So @BolexForSoup was correct in their assumption? 1A abuse?
OTOH, I would think that sort of speech is covered by laws threatening government officials?
I remember hearing warnings about things like this in the early 2000s,but I never witnessed anything. Post 2001 was a strange time.
But if we start punishing rich people for crimes, what’s next? Punishing other rich people for their crimes?
