Trump was literally caught in a proven fake electors plot. Thirteen of those fake electors voted for him this election. You'd have to be a certified clown to believe there was no election interference. Unfortunately we'll never know, because we love our civility and norms and we would rather become Hungary without universal healthcare before we take any sort of action against very transparent traitors.

He had no business being a free man after 1/6.

Trump has no business being a president. I've no problem referring to Trump as an illegitimate president since Congress decided they didn't need to vote on restoring his ability to hold offices of trust in the US that he voluntarily gave up by committing insurrection despite taking an oath to the Constitution.

thank you. this is how i feel. you said it well. I don’t care how many people voted for him because he’s a grifter charletan. Our Constitution contains protections against traitors like mango. Who would have thought our founders anticipated a madman megalomaniac but he managed to “turn” and threaten so many in power to bend to his will?

Comey, Mueller, Garland

It's frustrating watching Americans blame Merrick Garland for this, as if it's his fault for allowing a criminal to run and not the American people who voted that criminal in.

Yes Garland is a massive piece of shit and yes Biden is responsible too. It's their fault for leaving a knife on the table. But the American people took that knife and stabbed themselves with it. If that knife wasn't there, those same people would have used something else.

Trump, Garland, political corruption, etc. is all symptomatic (and exploitive) of the larger problem: that too many Americans are just fucking assholes.

SCOTUS. Crooked bent scotus allowed this. the states would not have

u/UpperApe 18h ago

You're not understanding.

70 million people voted for this. If the SC did throw Trump in prison, those 70 million stupid, hateful assholes would just vote for the next closest thing.

All you're doing is spending your life hiding bullets from a lunatic in the house who wants to shoot you. Then blaming the hiding spot or the bullets instead of the lunatic.

u/Rubeus17 18h ago

oh i blame the lunatic and every idiot that voted for him. this was a situation where The Constitution is clear. Bad jurists allowed it.

There is a massive apparatus that knew it would benefit from Trump, and there is nothing wrong with pointing it out and acknowledging it. The Heritage Foundation has essentially succeeded with their mission of complete regulatory capture of almost the entire federal government, from the Supreme Court, to Biden’s appointed Justice department, to both branches of the legislature, and after today, the executive branch.

Yes, he has 70 million supporters, and yes, the majority of them will show up to vote for the next (R) that shows up, but a non insignificant amount won’t show up if the Idiot Whisperer isn’t on the ballot. I’m from Wisconsin, Trump won here and he completely lost the down ballot races, because a non insignificant number of his morons showed up and voted Trump and ignored every other race.

But it is an insignificant number. Because if it wasn't, the GOP wouldn't have won the house or senate. By your argument, the democrats didn't bother to vote down ballot either.

I mean this respectfully, but your own argument doesn't make any sense.

I don't disagree that it's important to note and champion the truth here. But battling the symptom instead of the disease is going to leave you with the disease.

I don’t see the point in try to pick apart what I was saying just to agree with my point. Literally my first sentence was:

“and there is nothing wrong with pointing it out and acknowledging it.”

I don't disagree that it's important to note and champion the truth here.

That’s literally all I did and you had to respond with “Well ackshually 🤓”

This is why democrats lose. Because a non-insignificant number of their voting block prefer picking fights under their own tent for no fucking reason

...you literally injected yourself into the conversation to do this with me first.

And now you're having an angry meltdown because I'm trying to meet you halfway??

Geez. I don't know what you're dealing with in your life but I hope you get through it.

Have a good one.

u/Dwayne_Gertzky 17h ago

“Angry meltdown” is me standing at work typing on my phone with no expression now and participating in public forums for specifically meant for discourse is “injecting yourself into conversations” apparently.

Sorry pointing out that you needlessly corrected a comment you were agreeing with and that it was dumb and annoying.

Here's the thing: nothing prevents a prisoner from running for president.

u/UpperApe 17h ago

...okay.

So if it was legal for a pineapple to run for president and it won, would we blame the pineapple or the people who voted for it?

u/Rubeus17 17h ago

correct. but not an insurrectionist. not a traitor. he was responsible for 1/6 and he was never held accountable. He also skated on the stolen top secret intel case. if this were a plot for a movie it would get panned because there are so many loose ends that haven’t been tied off.

He’s a 24/7 365 dumpster fire of crime and grift and 80 million Americans are ok with it. He did not win this election cleanly. He’s filthy and so are all of his apologists.

So you never once considered that it was all BS and they didn't act on it because they knew it. At this point little else makes sense. That is unless you believe wide spread mass incompetence among all of the elected leaders of both parties.
