    I would be much more impressed if they pulled the trigger on this shit and forced a crisis and a ruling. like, you can’t prosecute a sitting president, but we’re like 50 days out or whatever. freeze some assets, detain some people, revoke some passports.

    I know libs are a joke and will bend over backwards to protect the norms that the fash will ignore when they take the helm, but all they earn is contempt with moves like this.

    it would be funny if Trump came in and went after them all for treason or some crazy shit and appointed like Alex Jones or MTG as the high inQuisitor.

      Alex Jones is sitting at his desk in a livestream. “Trump has appointed me High inQuisitor. The first thing I’m gonna do with my powers is start an investigation into the demoncrats and their spawn the reptilians who did Sandy Hook, killed kids, and made me look bad. Trumps gonna stop them. And I’m gonna help him do it.”

      There’s a container on his desk and he pats the top of it. “Support the president and me by doing your part. You gotta buy this - the Official Licensed Alex Jones High InQ Protein Drinks. Every sip makes you stronger and healthier and defeats the power of evil…”

      Look I’m hesitant to hand it to the wet boy but

      It’s been nearly an entire decade of libs "ah well nevertheless"ing their way from attempted Trump sinking to attempted Trump sinking, whether through some Mueller shit, the Steele dossier, Russiagate, this NY case. Literally nonstop for ten fucking years

      Does he deserve to see a cell? Absolutely

      But it does look like a fucking witchhunt at times

      Trump has already threatened his family. It’s a privilege to fight for your ideals when you get to stay anonymous and not have your loved ones directly targeted by powerful people, you don’t have to face the same kind of consequences. I can’t really blame him for not wanting his wife and kids in immediate danger.

            You are here presenting the situation as if it was a sudden development, rather than a known risk from the start. You are also presenting it as a definite certainty.
            Neither of these presentations are correct.

              You neatly sidestepped the question. Capitol puts everyone in danger, that isn’t special. Would you do the special honors of placing your child in front of a firing squad if it meant you could say that you stood firm in your ideals?

                  I’m ignoring them because aren’t good faith? I didn’t say “Jack Smith is literally in this situation”, I’m just pointing out how easy it is for armchair revolutionaries to snear from the sidelines when it’s not their necks on the line.

        I can. Don’t take on the gig of prosecuting a powerful politician who might become president if you aren’t in a position where you’re comfortable with having you and yours threatened. It’s like the cop excuse of being in a “stressful situation”. Don’t take the job then!

          Like the anonymous Jane Doe lawsuit from the woman who wasremovedd by Trump when she was 14? She dropped it after numerous threats from Trump and her supporters and I don’t blame her at all. I don’t expect Jane Doe to put her and her families life on the line either.

            I can see it now. Trump calls in gravy team 6 to break him out, they kill a ton of cops in a firefight while rescuing him, once back at the white house he drone strikes the judge and prosecutor responsible and he spends the next couple years vindictively attacking Democrats and their prosecutors and dismantling the justice department while battering the hell out of NY with federal antagonism that’s not really legal further pushing the idea of a breakup of the states into the mainstream. Democrats promise to jail him after he leaves office but he dies days before the election after finishing a Big Mac for dinner and Vance issues a sweeping pardon for Trump’s family and associates for all activities to which Democrats tut tut but have to respect the institutions and so go on to face-plant in the next election as well despite it being “the most important election of our lives”.
