Trump had many atrocious policies. Many, if not most of them weren’t criminal in nature. In fact if you review the 7 investigations above you would find that zero of them dealt with an official policy stance that his administration took. Some for instance might see his treatment of minors at the border as criminal in nature. The policy itself, while questionable in the way it was carried out, does not fall outside the realm of policy choice that an administration is entitled to.
These issues were just for his personal enrichment, or to cover up other crimes. [Reply]

I’m still convinced he will resign either the day before inauguration or day of inauguration, or declare a temporary incapacity and have Pence pardon him as acting president.
Get yur popcorn folks, this is going to be epic. I will admit Donnie surprised me at his ability and effectiveness at obfuscating and perverting norms and laws.
This norm-smashing, unchecked executive power needs to be dealt with during the Biden administration. Even if it means effectively neutering himself. The path of a executive swollen with power and grown tyrannical must have effective and lawful guardrails to keep democracy's fatal near miss from ever happening again. [Reply]

lol
you're such a clown. Are you going to write books about how you survived the holocaust 2.0 and were so scared to speak out against this tyrannical dictator while hiding in attics hoping you could just survive? It was a literal holocaust. [Reply]

He couldn't take the heat when Trump was in office after all those shoes never fell for the most investigated president. Same with banyon. But now they're all back! And here to dredge up all past issues that were already discussed. But they want unity. :-):-) [Reply]

Do you think it’s a good idea to allow Presidents to commit crimes and to ignore them when they leave office? Don’t you think that might encourage future presidents to rely on that and commit whatever crimes they wish?
Let's see if I got this right. So Trump will be charged for obstruction of justice, over an investigation that spanned almost two years, had incredible scope, power and funds, yet ultimately found no criminal wrong doing.
Clearly it's the right that is out of control and abusing the legal system. That's textbook lawfare right there. If they can do that to Trump, then they can do that to anybody.

Hey crazy person. State charges aren't within the pardon capability of a sitting president. SDNY can still get him. Also, there's sure to be other crimes he committed that we don't know about yet. [Reply]

Ya that part is hilarious. Like everyone is just going to forget all of their unhinged biased screams over the past 5 years.
What they really want is everyone to conform to their ridiculous ideals and to trust corporate media unconditionally and without question. [Reply]

Not just the media though, they want technocrats to rule over all of society. Some how they seem to think that will be better.
