He won't be doing the same again, right?
If this is the case, how in the fuck is the Orange Turd still on the ballot? The bastard will repeat the BS, but with more violence.
The courts have at least 1,889 pages of evidence of election interference, and yet they will still leave him on the ballots for the highest office in the country.
This right here is the very definition of lip service when it comes to justice. It’s time for America to nut up or shut up. Either way, I’m damned tired of this bullshit.
As much as I hate it, it would be much worse if you could just accuse someone of a crime to keep them off the ballot. Someone like Trump would abuse it to accuse his opponents of crimes to have them removed. It needs to go through the court first. The issue is that's taken far too long, and the time it takes has been increased by certain people with a bias.
We need to criminalize government employees intentionally delaying or entirely ignoring doing their jobs
Start with SCOTUS
I agree that the problem is not with him being on the ballot, the problem is that it seems an enormous portion of the population of the USA are willing to vote for him.
The issue is that's taken far too long, and the time it takes has been increased by certain people with a bias.
That was the basis of my second paragraph. This should’ve been priority #1 from the get go. And the fact that people with obvious bias has been able to derail the process is another problem that needs to be dealt with as well.
His followers will only support him more. They like that he is above the law.
You're not wrong.
A lot of them seem to be super dodgy too legally
Every accusation yadda yadda. It's all so tired at this point.
also include a heavily redacted transcript from a January 6 Committee interview of Rusty Bowers, in which the then-Arizona House Speaker described hanging up on Trump after turning down his request to ignore the state's Biden electors and install electors for Trump instead.
"That's exactly what I did," Bowers told committee member Adam Schiff during the June 19, 2022 interview. "I disconnected us. I hung up on him."
Bucket list item: hang up the phone on Trump. But not angrily. I just want him to hear that dial tone... oh that doesn't exist anymore
How is this not treason?
It is. Shh don’t tell anybody.
Being handed the opportunity to appoint three Supreme Court judges prior to committing the act, takes it from treason to ‘sparkling presidential acts’..
I have a flip phone and one of the things I love about it is closing it to hang up. That satisfaction I think makes up for knowing there's no dial tone.
It’s like the old Mitch Hedberg joke of having an argument in a tent. You can’t leave and slam the flap so you zip it up real quick?
Comedy genius. Rip.mitch
Ah, I miss flip phones. If I wasn't totally hooked on my little screen box I would go back.
I had a little silver one, apparently marketed to the ladies as it had a little mirror. But flip phones were completely Star Trek TOS - Scotty, one to beam up.
Yeah, I was an early adoptor, had a phone with a flip down bit and an aerial to pull up. I thought it was cool as fuck but in retrospect it was probably big enough to fight off a bear with.
I feel like the flip phone should be an accessory to the screen box. It's a superior device to chatting and hanging up, just make it Bluetooth and snap into the back of the phone.
If we ever see AR or implants overtake touch screens (unlikely imo because typing in AR fucking sucks) then I hope flips come back just for the talking part.
Can someone make a supercut of all the far-right dumbasses saying we cannot have a president who is under investigation? Might have to go back to 2016 to get clips, I don't think they say that any longer.
Hell, go back to the nineties when they were ready to hang Bill Clinton for having sex.
Bill Clinton was not impeached for having sex. He was impeached for committing perjury while testifying as the defendant in a sexual harassment inquiry. The blowjob is just the thing he was lying about when he perjured himself. If he'd been convicted maybe it would be easier to hold presidents accountable today.
Further, Bill Clinton was the President while Monica Lewinsky was an intern. There was a major power imbalance between then two.
Real question here is will this be enough to move the news cycle.
I don't think his voters care.
cant reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into
thanks for the correction
I think there's a chance swaying a little more people than we might think - even if it's a small percentage overall that can be swayed
Look for instances at the audience reactions to his lies about January 6th at his Univision Townhall. They show visable disgust

Even if it's not enough to make them vote the opposite way, it might be enough to make them not show up to vote against harris. Turnout changes in single digit percentages matters a lot
This is all part of the democratic agenda to influence elections with fact instead of the feelings the founders intended elections to be about.
That Judge's niece is friends with someone who Donated to Biden so OBVIOUSLY we need to INVESTIGATE the JUDGE for Corruption!
-Republicans who LOVE Eileen Cannon and the Supreme Court!
Thanks for providing a direct link to the documents, OP. Much appreciated :)
Just lock him up. The man has been on pounds of cocaine. If he had a tiny bit of weed, he would have been in prison already.
We got him! It's over, we can all wake up now right?
We can make it matter. Vote, get active, get involved.
Register to vote if you haven't. Deadlines are within days and passing in some states
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online
Write letters to voters in competitive downballot races (or swing states too)
