ex-President Trump

People realize Gavin Newsom is going to be the candidate, yes? Those wheels are already in motion. Don't klll the messenger, but that is going to be happening. Not saying I like it or agree with it, but that is highly probable.

If anyone were to pardon Trump, it would be a horrible mistake because he would then just bloviate all day on Truth and work to continue to undermine democracy in the US, all while still holding a MAGA grip on entire Republican party.

Biden and the people controlling him will do almost anything to stay in power. And the military industrial complex is ok with that

To my point about the majority of Trump supporters being certifiable morons - you pretty much have to be, to vote for someone who writes like a 13 year old texting for president.

Sounds like he was making a joke.

Still, I wonder how long it takes for trump to walk this back or clarify. As it stands what he’s done is confirm the belief that Navalny was imprisoned and murdered on the orders of Putin for no other reason than being the opposition by way of equivocating this to make it a donald trump thing. He can’t even make this **** about himself without pissing off the wrong people

I certainly don’t think he was trying to say that, which is what makes it hilarious, but if he’s equating himself to Nalvany there’s no other interpretation other than Putin killed Nalvany and that’s what Biden’s doing to him

You said the law was well-enforced. If billions are stolen continually, then it's not being enforced much at all, right?

What does that have to do with your, "Oh, I worked an extra 30 minutes the other day and that wasn't reflected on my paycheck so I'll just correct the oversight by helping myself to the cash register today" scenario?

Obviously what I'm saying is if you're shorted, let someone know so they can correct it. If they refuse to, quit. Balancing the books through illicit means just complicates things.

It's possible, but if you think it's "highly probable" I might be interested in some action

Are you saying that's unpresidented?

Which cites this study where DT continues so much winning in #45!

Ok thank you for the kind words.

To clarify my position better, if american democracy can't hold steady with trump elected (which I think it would, easily, you disagree with this assessment), it doesn't deserve to exist in the first place nor to lead the world.

So for me it's either a bad model undeserving of existing gets thrown out, or the actually strong and resilient American democracy keeps going (like during and after the first trump term).

Either case we don't lose.

No election result should ever be able to nullify democratic pillars, unless it's 70-30 among the population and the 70 wants an end to it, in which case it's just what people do and you have to comply

Your out of you're mind. Their is no way he could handle the responsibilitee.

Hmm I thought it was responsibility ?

I do not think Biden should pardon Trump anyways

Can you quote where I said that?

So In your scenario, which is not the one I said, you worked 30 minutes and haven’t been paid for it. And in your scenario you are saying it is not morally ok for the worker to take the money from the till if the company says we acknowledge you worked 30 minutes but we will not pay you the money that the law requires us to pay

And in your scenario the dude should go home and then try to sue them or contact the authorities? Is that correct ?

And if dude doesn’t ever get paid then no consequences, and the business got 30 minutes or free time from him, no jail time for the person who said they wouldn’t pay

And I’m to assume that if the employee took 30 min worth of time from the till that the employee would then be guilty of theft which could result in his death at most and will likely result in an arrest at minimum

Is anything I said wrong?

Wow, this is quite... something.

Think for the equilibrium over the next couple of centuries, like the founders did

I think it's fair to say that Rococo's characterisation of your attitude towards democracy was bang on the money.

I am Churchillian in my take on democracy.

Anyway this is a good time to remind people that the USA survived having actual Nazis in the country, and they didn't even need to arrest all of them not even most of them and that was during a war against the actual Nazis, which the USA won very easily (the war with Japan required more efforts).

The USA not only survived but reached the pinnacle of world power while allowing something like a million citizens being part of pseudo Nazi groups and parties, while being a democracy, without suspending fundamental rights (they did overstep brutally against the Japanese, going mad with Japanese American internment camps, but that got fixed later).

That's how strong American democracy is.

Why is it that Americans constantly need foreigners to remind them of their greatness?

If you believe it's the best system we have, one would have thought you'd be a little more protective of it.

Democracy must change by a cataclysmic event for it to have any value...

On the pardon front .
About the difference of “integrity”.
Do Maga really believe trump wouldn’t have pardon already any of his children if they were in hunter place ?
Trump already pardon all his “friends”….

But he loves Putin, surely he isn't saying Putin did something bad.

Seriously, does anyone have any idea what Trump's point was in that post?
