he hasn't been charged/convicted of any of the relevant felonies that would preclude service, and nobody is going to make an issue of it; simply because all three branches of government are now under christofascist control. any lawsuits will go to SCROTUS, where they'll just rubber stamp a decision and cite some bullshit.
also the 14th gives enforcement to congress, which won't do anything either.
But why? Why are all these people so happy to protect such a despicable human being who will happily throw any of them under the bus and who has, and will again, sell out their country to anyone who says nice stuff to him and gives him money? It's absolutely extraordinary.
And it's not like it's a secret. His corruption is there out in the open for all to see. We all see it, we all know it. And yet here we are.
My mental wellbeing has taken a major hit this last day seeing how so many people would rather burn down our future than vote for a competent black woman.
They have been setting the pieces to this eventuality for 60+ years.
Trump just stumbled onto the very carefully set board, and started messing with it, and exposing the plans in the process. Being the narcissist he is, he is incapable of not using anything he wants, so it forced the Republican establishment's hand. They had to bring him into since the Presidency is necessary to further the plan, and in turn he also became dangerous since he's 100% the type of person to use that information to extort the outcome that helps him. I don't think they really understood how bad an idea that was at the times and now they're stuck.
kompromat, comrade
She wasn't competent. That was the problem. It was going to be much of the same shit under Harris as it was under Biden. Both parties are two sides of the same coin controlled mainly by Zionist lobbyists. It's an illusion of democracy. The US is fucked. Now it'll be fucked faster. If I was a US citizen I don't know how I would've voted. In all conscience I couldn't vote for Harris because of her continued support of genocide in Gaza, but equally there's no way Trump would get my vote either (because he's an egotistical lunatic). I guess I'd go for a third party which is marginally a better option than not voting at all.
Everyone who thinks bOtH sIdEs can stop talking now. You've shown how precisely reality-divorced your toxic mentality has been all along. We know you want to spread lies because it makes you happy. But no one wants to hear it. Ever.
Edit: whoever responded below, know that I'm basking in the glow of not seeing your comments because I blocked your toxicity ❤️
Eagerly awaiting your response when Trump amps it to 11, and your argument goes invalid because he "finished the job".
What will you say then, I wonder?
"And they hated mortimer because he told the truth"
Harris was a mediocre candidate who ran a dogshit campaign. If the democrats are smart anyone involved in the decision making levels of the campaign should be blacklisted from ever working with the party again.
They hated Mortimer because his fucked up attitude just destroyed what was left of society. This will spread around the world. Nothing will remain. All because people are too simple minded to understand that flawed people are better than evil people
Nice. I'm a wrecker of civilisation and I'm not even American and never voted in your pretend illusion of democracy. Your country is Rome before the fall. I will enjoy seeing it sink into the sea. Better learn to swim.
And your disgusting apathetic attitude will result in this reaching your door irrespective of where that is. So great job. You are now blocked
I'm going to miss you.
The only apethetic attitude I'm aware of is the Democrats' apathy towards genocide.
Damned right. It would've been hard to out-dogshit her.
Fuckface 45 was sitting right there doing exactly that. Yet fascists voted him in.
Fascists and fake moral warriors who stayed at home or voted for known Russian asset Jill Stein.
She was dogshit. So fucking dogshit she got beaten by a narcissist. Fuck America! They deserve the president they elected.
The question I have is why are felony convictions not considered a disqualification for president but they disqualify everyone else from literally almost any job? I knew someone who got a conviction and was hired by chik fil a then later told whoops we missed that on your application sorry can't hire you.
So you can't weaponize the courts against your political opponents.
I do not buy this one bit. I accept that it's given as a rationale but the only result of it is leaders being above the law and being held to a lower standard than anyone else.
How does it result in that?
Being eligible to run for president is not a factor in someone being perused for justice.
... did you read the comments above? We're discussing whether or not we should prevent criminals from running for office. When the answer is "no", that allows criminals to get into office. I cannot get a job at Piggly fucking Wiggly if I am a felon.
Yes, I did read the comments.
Aside from perhaps a couple fringe exceptions, there is noting enshrined in law that prevents a felon from getting a job. A company may decide to not hire someone because they are a felon, that is their choosing and not a result of a law.
An individuals eligibility for running for president does not impact whether or not justice, as defined by our laws, is perused against them.
If I’m understanding correctly you think that criminals should not be eligible. It appeared that you were arguing that in our current system folks are able to be above the law because they are eligible to run from president. I was asking how someone’s eligibility causes them to be above the law.
I know things are very emotional now and that totally makes sense and perhaps is leading to the hostility of your comments. With that in mind I feel I have presented what I’ve set out to and will not reply to your further.
Ah yes, the only thing that matters. Hey guys I can't afford groceries so I'll go back to robbing people -- it's okay though, not enshrined in law! I'll just flash my "felon: I can't get a job anywhere" card at the cops and they'll be on their way!
My obvious point that I clearly stated was that if ordinary citizens cannot even support themselves after being convicted (often wrongly btw), then why do politicians get away with it scot fucking free?
