      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 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.

        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.

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

      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.

      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.
