- Former President Trump defended his actions regarding the 2020 election, claiming he had the right to interfere and criticizing the charges against him as politically motivated.
- Trump argued that the legal actions against him set a bad precedent and accused prosecutors of bias, specifically mentioning federal charges and a Georgia case involving alleged election interference.
- The Harris-Walz campaign condemned Trump’s remarks, stating that he is pushing false narratives and emphasizing Vice President Harris’s commitment to upholding the rule of law.
It still bewilders me why we are even having this conversation. The guy tried to overthrow our government. The government of the people, in accordance of our constitution. If that’s not the definition of treason I don’t know what is.
trump himself provides the argument for why going after political candidates for “treason” is dangerous. Because if he steals it, you can bet that a LOT of Democrats are literally going to be lined up against a wall and shot (or abused horribly if they are one of the women they are obsessed with…). All because they commit “treason” along the same lines that mtg and the like insisted on impeaching Biden as retribution.
That said, we had four fucking years to investigate this and didn’t even start to do anything of worth until year three. And then gave up when one shitty judge stalled and a bunch of shitty politicians declared trump immune from all crimes.
This is why it’s important to lock him the fuck up and make sure it sticks.
He’s going to have people lined up and shot regardless if he has to do another insurrection or not. best make sure he can’t do that.
His supporters will do it for him regardless, mark my words. We’re going to see instances of people being shot for being Democrats after the election regardless of who wins.
Well sure, but his fans are the people whose ancestors seceded from the US because they wanted slaves.
This is an example of a thing I’ve said repeatedly about Trump - I’m willing to bet that he’s 100% sincere about this. He’s not dissembling or diverting - he actually, sincerely believes that he had every right to interfere in whatever ways he wanted.
Why?
Because he’s a near-total sociopath. I don’t think that concepts of truth and falsehood or right and wrong are even coherent to him. I think his entire measure of everything is wholly personal - if he wants it, then it’s right and if he doesn’t, then it’s wrong, and if he believes it, then it’s true, and if he doesn’t, then it’s false. And it really is that simple. It’s not that he lies, but that he lives in a fantasy world in which whatever he believes is true and whatever he wants is right.
He’s player one. All of the rest of us are just NPCs.
That’s exactly why all these libertarian tech bros believe we live in a simulation. It makes them the hero of the universe and the rest of us are NPCs they can do whatever they want to.
sincerely believes that he had every right to interfere in whatever ways he wanted.
Exactly. (Long, but jump to the 30 minute point if you are in a hurry)
Trump OBVIOUSLY had EVERY RIGHT to interfere! If he didn’t he would have been LOCKED UP ALREADY! Paging the United States Justice SYSTEM!
Trump argued that the legal actions against him set a bad precedent
Well, we finally agree on something.
The fact that he’s a free man and the republican nominee 4 years after attempting to steal an election and then subsequently attempted a coup is a really fucking bad precedent and shows that the legal system is impotent to stop large scale corruption.
Yeah. The demo needed to take him to task years ago. The fact they waited until the election is a political move and decision. And a poorly thought out one
Sounds like a confession.
We finally got him, right guys? Guys?
Sounds like he’s setting up a defense as it being an official presidential act and thus him being immune from prosecution based on the blanket immunity that SCOTUS recently gave to presidents. So he’ll admit to it, be immune, and let everyone else get prosecuted for knowingly following him.
Not presidents, just him. They can, and will, rule any actions from a Democratic president to not be official acts.
So you’re cool if Biden/Kamala pull the same shit this election, right?
…right???
Fascism 101: it’s only cool if I do it, because I’m supposed to be in charge and you’re not
That’s not how narcissism works silly goose 🪿
People are saying he’s totally telling Biden to do it. Soo many people. You never this many people talk about it. The best people. Top people.
So a confession then?
Well. He’s wrong.
The fool is deluded beyond redemption
It’s called sociopathy mixed with dementia.
Well, he is a fool…. So…
