Former President Donald Trump ramped up his threats to prosecute President Joe Biden if he wins another term in the White House.An appeals court rejected Trump’s claims of immunity in the federal election subversion case in the District of Columbia, although he intends to press the same argument in …
Difference between most Democrats and Republicans is that if a Democrat committed a crime another Democrat would want them prosecuted, same if a Republican committed a crime. Whereas if a Republican committed a crime other Republicans want the charges dropped and if a Democrat committed a crime they’d be calling for the death penalty.
Crimes are bad, mmm-kay. Doesn’t matter what side you’re on, mmm-kay. So, let’s not be bad, mmm-kay.
People give my “deep blue” state crap for corruption because so many of our politicians have been sent to prison for it.
… Ignoring that they’re in prison because we actually investigate and charge our politicians for corruption, unlike their corrupt as hell states where those people are protected.
Can we just, lock him up already?
Please? Or at the very least break his jaw so he has to shut the fuck up while it heals?
We all know he’s guilty. We all know he’s a treasonous insurrectionist. We all know he belongs in prison.
We all know that any normal person would have been hanged by now.
“If a President does not have Immunity, the Opposing Party, during his/her term in Office, can extort and blackmail the President by saying that, ‘if you don’t give us everything we want, we will Indict you for things you did while in Office,’ even if everything done was totally Legal and Appropriate,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Leave it to Donnie to misrepresent what the ruling means. Presidents still enjoy lots of immunity, especially where it pertains to their “color of office” duties. They just don’t have total immunity from anything and everything, especially where it doesn’t pertain to their duties. We do not have monarchs or dictators.
So no, you can’t just shoot someone on Fifth Ave and declare Presidential Immunity to avoid justice, and you can’t just steal government secrets to use as business leverage, and you can’t make phone calls to heads of states to “find votes,” and you can’t incite an insurrection and claim plausible deniability.
Eat shit. I hope you get no sleep because of these rulings.
Yeah but what if the person on fifth Avenue was literally holding the original constitution and threatening to tear it in half? Would presidential immunity apply then?
Hear me out: what if the person had a pussy and you wanted to grab it?
In that case they let you do it because you’re famous
Fortunately OR unfortunately
Just this whole attitude towards the thing shows how crooked he is. As far as I can tell, Biden has tried to remain hands-off from the Justice Dept and just let them do their own thing to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. And I believe that’s more or less been how most Presidents have tried to behave since maybe Nixon EXCEPT for Trump, who seems to view it as his own personal legal hit-squad, to be used for just litigating people he doesn’t like, instead of… y’know, administering justice. He completely misunderstands the purpose of government and really should not be allowed anywhere near the position. He should be rotting in prison now, he’s a complete shitstain on history.
Headline is technically true but this is a non story.
Trump is mad about the appeals court ruling that he isn’t immune from prosecution and is lashing out.Everything about this turd is a non story except for the fact that he incited an insurrection on the US capital for which he has not been committed to prison or executed for. Now that’s a story.
No. I’d say his willful mishandling of a pandemic outbreak, for which he’ll never be punished, is a pretty fucking horrific story. Way worse than his little temper tantrum at the Capitol.
Not just the attack, but he actively tried to secretly replace electors in states as well. We literally know he tried to cheat and are like, “it’s fine”.
He’s asking Biden to pardon him… “or else…”
That sounds like an admission of guilt to me.
Pardons by law are an admission of guilt since like 1925.
Obama, Bush, and soon, Crooked Joe Biden, would all be in PRISON.
Promise?
and I’ll be there TOO to make sure they get what they DESERVE.
Not a lawyer and not sure if this applies here, but the threat of blackmail itself seems like it should constitute a crime:
18 U.S.C. § 873 (2021) §873. BlackmailWhoever, under a threat of informing, or as a consideration for not informing, against any violation of any law of the United States, demands or receives any money or other valuable thing, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
the threat of blackmail itself seems like it should constitute a crime
My guy has been indicted 91 times and counting. What’s one more?
Next thing is that he demands a presidential pardon from Biden for his crimes. I can already see him whining on his loser social insurrectionist network.
Isn’t that what this article is saying? Make charges go away = pardon?
No, he believes that a president has direct control over a functional attorney general.

Don’t threaten me with a good time! Virtually all U.S. presidents have caused thousands of civilians to be killed in wars we shouldn’t be fighting.

What do you mean lie? It’s more than 400,000 civilian casualties directly caused by US Wars since 9/11.
That’s an alarming statistic and nobody was held accountable for giving the orders to start those wars.

You know, I’m starting to think maybe we might not be the good guys…
We’ve literally NEVER been the good guys. We pay PR companies to white-wash our atrocities. Literal billionaire funded think-tanks that do nothing but spew US propaganda just so idiots in flyover states have one more make-believe story to hang their identity onto, like that Jesus fella.
That’s what Innocent People do!
he won’t blackmail, he will have-murdered Biden, in 2025.
Anyone who can’t see that coming is wearing rose glasses.
