    I was being pessimistic when I said he wouldn’t be charged with squat if they run the Stormy Daniels case before, you know, ruling on the integrity of our highest office.

    My father still remains hopeful “they’ll get him like they got Al Capone” (on taxes), but I have a hard time seeing that through when he still has judges appointed by him, ruling on him. Oh and yeah we’re not even going to approach his highest crimes because that would be disadvantageous to his campaign… give me a break ffs

        For who? Democrats just idly sit around and get even older while republicans rape every single institution without consequences. They commited a fucking insurrection and nothing happened. Democrats had a majority for years and yet the american society and politics continue to be more fucked up. American democracy is just an illusion of freedom they allow you to have. Their two party system is the best proof for that. They will never allow you to change anything because the for profit government is working as they intended.

          Vote for the best option you have. Maybe you don’t feel like the current options are great; but just suppose you keep voting for the best of your options, and that best option keeps winning. The idea is that later someone will think “maybe I can win by being even better…”. That’s the theory of democracy anyway. If the best candidate keeps winning, then the competition improves to challenge them. But right now that doesn’t seem to be happening.

          As long as someone like Trump can get even vaguely close to victory, that either means that a near-majority of Americans believe Trump is the better option, or that not enough people are voting. I think it’s probably the second one. The republican strategy has nothing to do with fielding the best candidate. Instead they rely on feeding voter apathy, anger, and doubt. They want anyone who isn’t a zealot to be uncertain about voting. That’s how they win. We’re not going to see the best candidates while that strategy is in play. And to beat the ‘don’t vote’ strategy… well, you just have to vote.

          They commited a fucking insurrection and nothing happened.

          Thousands of people were put in jail. Nothing was done about Trump because Republicans blocked that and Democrats couldn’t do anything on their own. Currently nothing is being done thanks to the help of judges Trump appointed.

          There’s a huge difference in these parties. But it seems you just repeat propaganda by implying both parties are the same.

              That comment is often made by certain people. Initially you imply “both parties are the same”, then follow-up with the genocide comment about the current president. That does repeat the usual disinformation. And it seems you’re “just asking questions” at the moment.

              I would assume you’re a Trumpanzee if you fail to note that Donald wants Israel to “finish the job.” That Donald entered office on a campaign of racism and started his term with a Muslim ban.

              Other than that I am also dismayed with what the country is up to.

              My guess is it’s less about the criticism and more about you discouraging folks from voting at all.

        For what? No change? The status quo? I’d rather vote for America’s downfall so that the pain and terror Americans inflict overseas, is felt here in our borders.

        Americans love violence so much, why should you have peace in your streets?

          Because a majority of people dislike the same violence, want to see military spending reduced to pay for the things the population need. However, the best we can do to get all that it’s vote and protest and they’re making both “illegal”, or at least trying. Don’t think everyone here is a craven money leech.

          Many of us just want to live free of worry and pain, be happy with family and friends, and try to make this planet as livable, as we can for all, with the husk of a world we are left with.

          What a psycho. Were you asleep in the WWII section or do that cover that in a later grade at your school? A fascist dictatorship will be invading foreign nations harder than it ever has. All while removing the rights and lives of minority groups domestically.

        Republicans have the majority at the moment. A president isn’t a dictator, though Trump is planning to become one.

        He doesn’t have the majority needed to do all that needs to be done, otherwise he could’ve expanded SCOTUS already and reversed half the bullshit.

        Well if the supreme Court will give presidents immunity prior November, so that Trump can participate, then Biden just has to order a hit on him. because, you know presidents are immune. …

          If Trump is actually, as so many claim, a threat to our way of government then he’s a domestic enemy.

          I guess maybe that’s all just trivial talk though.

          Those questions are extremely easily translated into statements:

          Biden is President right now
          He’s doing nothing to fix this

          Gosh my brain hurts after all that generous reading.

        There are allegations, and even a court filling from the prosecutor, that the boxes of evidence have not been maintained in original condition, and that evidence photos may have been staged by the FBI to appear more damming.
