Truly wild that the bedrock of our country has no safeguards for this and is based on pure faith that criminal assholes don’t obtain power.

 

This is gonna fire up the Republican voter base in a ridiculous way and of course our current administration will do nothing besides hand them a win. The average voter's line of thought is "Things were cheaper then so I'm nostalgic for a Trump presidency!" Even if he's sentenced to jail it's guaranteed he will pardon himself day one. It's truly Joever folks.

 

you can't run for most local offices as a felon, but sure let's not make that a rule for the presidency

 

Maybe this is a sign that the current Constitution fucking sucks and should’ve been changed over time.

 

way too old to use more than one app

 

felons should be able to vote

 

Love the energy of Dems saying the only way to keep him out of office is by voting. On the day he is convicted. Doesn't sound like none of this matters at all.

 

Dems: No one is above the law! The President should be held accountable for paying hush money.

Also Dems: The ICJ warrants for Israeli leaders who perpetrated a genocide are disgusting and beyond the pale!!

 

he knows saying shit like this makes it less likely he’s gonna step down right. like the more people especially liberals say he needs to step down the more emboldened him and republicans become to keep him as nominee. he’s not going anywhere.

 

dont disprespect Eugene V Debs like that

 

All those takes about how weak the case was looking very stale now

 

I will now eagerly await Donald Trump exiting prison, having spent his time doing a deep dive on socialist theory, only to emerge lovingly embraced by his followers to a rousing January 6th choir rendition of Internationale

 

Try Guys and Hasan doing a huge Palestine fundraising telethon collab stream right now. Some Smosh people, Tyler Oakley, and some other big youtubers also on it.

Obviously this is something Hasan would do, but it's really cool to see a channel so mainstream as the Try Guys do this.

Right now they're close to raising 1.5 mil for Palestine.

 

Honestly, there’s no real damage whatsoever to Trump. They will appeal. If this conviction even slightly bothers any of his voters, he will campaign simply saying the conviction will be overturned, and that will be more than enough to assuage any concerns.

 

Y'all keep missing the point.

This is strictly about getting our yuks off.

 

Right. The conviction has no tangible effect. It’s just for us to get out jokes off lol
