I hope both of them die in prison.

At the rate things have been moving, I just hope Trump lives to see prison.

you’re changing the game in America

Wrong, you spineless fucktard. Republicans already changed the game when you decided that a lying, misogynistic, treasonous, con-artist, tiny-penised, reality show moron is the best person to lead your party.

This is not weaponizing the law…it is the proper application of the law because the piece of shit VIOLATED THE LAW. It’s time he rots in prison for it. Graham should just shut the fuck up.

The real sad outcome of all of this…people still listen to Graham and still vote for him — as they do with Trump. One day the world will be rid of all of these idiots.

I thought they wanted law and order and people to stand up for.the rule of law?

Oh wait. This just in they are hypocrites in everything.

spaceghoti OP ,

From Francis Wilhoit:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

We already decided this at the ballot box. And during trump’s impeachments, you said they should be decided in the courts.

Here we are.

“You can’t indict a sitting president, that’s what impeachment is for.”

“You can’t impeach a sitting president, that’s what the election is for.”

“You can’t impeach the president again now that he’s lost the election, that’s what the justice system is for.”

“You can’t indict someone running for president, that’s what the next election is for.”

"You can't nominate a Supreme Court Justice during an election"

Followed quickly by “of course you can nominate a Supreme Court Justice during an election.”

So, one of his arguments is that conservatives would try to game the system to go after dems, if the dems do it first? Right, like they did to Clinton, Obama and Biden? Who are they trying to fool?

JonEFive ,

The same people they’ve been fooling into voting for them for years. This is just propaganda speech delegitimizing the judicial process when they’re held to account for their crimes.

spaceghoti OP ,

It’s the language of the abuser. “See what you’re making me do to you?”

e_t_ Admin , to Politics in Lindsey Graham: Don’t Indict Trump, or Impeach Him, or Vote Against Him

I can understand how a powerful man might be afraid of a precedent of holding powerful men accountable for their crimes.

Any reasonable person would want this to be settled before the next election. Sadly the venn diagram of reasonable people and people who vote for Trump is just two completely separate circles.

spaceghoti OP ,

They’re fine with the world being unfair, as long as they think it’s unfair to their advantage.

Trump should already be in prison & would be if Merrick fucking Garland didn't drag his feet for two years.

Merrick Garland is still the current US Attorney General, and was the one who appointed Jack Smith as the Special Counsel, so how is this relevant?

spaceghoti OP ,

Because if Garland hadn’t dragged his feet and refused to allow the DOJ to investigate this in a timely fashion, we could already be into Trump’s appeals by now. Garland has only reluctantly allowed this prosecution to go forward, and only because Democrats in Congress forced his hand by revealing to the public just how strong the evidence is of Trump’s criminal culpability.

We shouldn’t have had to wait this long for this to come to trial.

It would seem logical that Trump would want to demonstrate - once and for all in a court of law - that he is innocent of any wrongdoing as soon as possible so as to not have it hanging over him in the race. Mr. Smith is merely offering him that opportunity.

AnonTwo , to Politics in Jack Smith Wants to Put Trump on Trial Before the Election

I think everyone pretty much knows why it hasn't happened yet.

Make sure to vote in this upcoming election.

it's only been nearly 4 years since the crime, surely he should be taking it a bit slower, we still have a few years left in the statute of limitations.

venusenvy47 ,

It’s been less than three years since this crime.

yeah Im dumb.

spaceghoti OP , to Politics in Jack Smith Wants to Put Trump on Trial Before the Election

A personal appeal: please don’t feed the trolls. Just block them. The more you respond the more you vindicate their desire to feel persecuted.

@ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works avatar

They should feel persecuted. They’re being persecuted for being dog shit human beings and I feel like we shouldn’t hide that. Shame them into understanding not only are they horrible people but that the rest of us aren’t gonna put up with it

spaceghoti OP ,

I mean, there is an argument to be made that discrimination is not only legal but also appropriate when dealing with criminal anti-social behavior.

PatFussy , to Politics in Jack Smith Wants to Put Trump on Trial Before the Election

Almost like it was timed or something. Weird
