I’ll be mean! That guy’s an idiot.
Because no one can point out where he's been charged with insurrection? If you only support rule of law when it's your side, you don't support rule of law.
This is Lemmy. It is pretty caustic and will be the downfall of it.
I on no way like Trump but you are entirely correct. He is still legally entitled to be on the ballet. Same as being impeached. He was acquitted by the rules of the constitution whether we like it or not. Doesn't mean he is innocent because he was not convicted.
That's the thing, I know he's crooked as fuck and always has been. I've thought that of him for decades. But my opinion doesn't matter if he's not convicted of these things. And Any critique of Biden is taken as support for that POS.
You're on point despite being downvoted. There are other people who believe that principles should be applied consistently out there. Don't lose heart!
