MAGA 2016: “Lock her up!”
MAGA 2020: “Lock him up!”
MAGA 2024: “The justice department is being politicized against Biden’s enemies!”
“I never said lock her up.”
Source: A horses ass. Just as wide and smells like it too.
I enjoy watching the late night monologues the morning after broadcast. All of them played a supercut of him saying “lock her up” after that interview.
They feel he tilted the trial? He handled Trump with kid gloves the whole trial while he was throwing constant diaper filled tantrums. If anything he went way too easy on the orange baboon.
Fascists always say they were treated unfairly…
The problem with that is, moderates then treat them with kids gloves, thinking that will stop them from saying it.
It never does.
To deal with fascists you throw the book at them, max legal punishment for every crime.
Because even if you just give them a slap on the wrist, their ideology requires them to say they were treated unfairly and are being persecuted.
It’s like how they’ll call the most conservative Dem in office a communist. So there’s no point in running a conservative Dem, they’ll fight them as hard as the most progressive.
There’s no rational reason to compromise before the fight starts.
fascists sit in positions of power while pretending they are a horribly persecuted and mistreated minority
Next up: Fox News tells us how awful the Mainstream Media is!
Many judges grant the defense way more leeway than the prosecution. One reason is actually pretty brutal- it keeps them from having something to appeal.
Trump obviously wants to drag this out as long as possible, and keep re-rolling the dice until he wins. Preventing that is a worthy goal.
While there is some credence for that, it’s not like it only applies to fascists.
Yet they always get preferential treatment at trial.
Regardless of if that’s like Trump’s case where he appointed the judge, or this one where the other party appointed the judge.
In both situations, the judges are more lenient with fascists than literally any other demographic.
trump isnt the only example, look at all the 1/6 trials.
Our justice system has a bias towards fascists, and regardless of the reasoning of the person showing the bias, they all believe it’s justified for one reason or another.
And it’s always the wrong strategy when dealing with fascists.
He’s not going to give Trump a prison term. He said as much during Trump’s tenth contempt citation. This is Senators grandstanding so that they can go home and tell their constituents “I fought for your President and I won!” when the outcome was a foregone conclusion. Its all kabuki.
georgia might
If only someone could have seen it coming that no matter how soft the judges would be, half the country would allege wrongdoing. Judge may as well have just given him the letter of the law treatment. Would probably have been better for the country too to see Donny in contempt of court, that way the eager ones burn themselves out soon instead of letting every racist in the country simmer in a pressure cooker awaiting a verdict.
The judge should warn the GOP senators about minding their own fucking business
Backs completely against the wall. They install their dictator or go down together.
They’re not as smart as the rats who have already been quietly jumping ship.
Well, that’d be the second best thing after throwing them all into a volcano, I guess
The BEST situation would be for the judge to say prison for a first offender is inappropriate. And then sentence the Mango Mussolini to 1000 hours of community service in which he’d pick up trash along the highway etc. And begin the 1000 hours in September.
He would absolutely not be in a jumpsuit on the side of the road doing community service. He would be assigned 1000 hours and then “work” with a charity putting his “skills” to use.
I’m speaking from experience. I had 120 hrs of community service and I did computer work for a well known charity.
But the orange has no useful skills to offer any REAL charity.
Other than manual labor, would you take financial advice from someone who bankrupted a casino!?
THREE casinos.
I’m going to guess you didn’t piss off the judge.
Lol. Fair point. I did not.
Also going to guess that you’re not known for staging a failed coup against the government.
I just want him to have to piss in a cup before the debates so he can’t take his hitler energy cocktail.
Don’t put him on a highway chain gang, that gives him too much public exposure. His fanboys will basically flood that place, making the security of the guards a nightmare. Put him in a nice place where he can assemble, clean, or pack something without access to the crowds.
Americans warn America against listening to GOP senators
Unfortunately Americans don’t listen to Americans and keep electing GOP senators.
Republicans: Democrats keep ruining everything! Elect Republicans to fix everything!
American Voters: Elects Republicans
Republicans: intentionally makes things even worse
American Voters: GOD DAMN DEMOCRATS!
For the last 30 years the southeast has had a “but my guy is okay” problem
It has been a bit longer than 30 years…
Quit scapegoating the southeast. This is a nationwide problem.
Mostly by abstention. We had less than 50% attendance in the last two congressional midterm elections.

Do it. Give him jail time. Because when it comes to politicians we need to hammer in a lesson: not only could it happen to anyone, but it it should happen to almost everyone. They’ll need to be held universally accountable for crimes (for a change), regardless of political party.
Biden is OBVIOUSLY overseeing this STATE Judge who told Trump multiple times he would be thrown in Jail but never was DESPITE threatening the Judge’s family and then allowed a Jury to deliberate in private to come to a conclusion based solely off the Evidence provided.
That is UNFAIR and an ABUSE OF POWER on Joe Biden’s part!
Biden’s Justice Department declined to prosecute Trump for the obvious crimes he was just convicted of! You can’t just say shit that’s the complete opposite of reality!!! Oh wait, republicans can, and they’ll earn votes with lies like this…
Because that’s how democracy works right my friends?
The politicians are supposed to pay for prostitution and stop judges from jailing other politicians.
Or what?
Well, normally I’d say it’s just posturing but with the increasingly violent rhetoric coming from the GQP…
Id love for him to just die already
You’ll get banned from reddit for saying that. Trust me. Lol
Spez is a far-right psycho.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said it would be a “further abuse of power” to incarcerate Trump or sentence him to home confinement.
“I’m very troubled by what I see in the way the courts have been weaponized,” he said. “It used to be there were some institutions in America, namely the FBI, the Department of Justice and the courts, which were regarded as out of bounds for overt partisan politics, but unfortunately that’s changed, and not for the better.”
I am at a loss for how true his words are, while his intent is SO SO wrong
Gaslight
Obstruct
ProjectEvery accusation is an admission. This guy would jump at the chance to weaponize the Justice Dept for his extremist views, guarantee it.
His aim here is to provide cover for the politicians that actually do want to and have attempted to weaponize federal law enforcement in the past, Trump and other Republicans.
I could go on. So many instances where he ordered law enforcement officials to launch baseless investigations to harass his political opponents. Even Barr of all people at one point was threatening to resign because of how far Trump had gone! The guy explicitly brought in by Trump because he felt Jeff Sessions wasn’t directly doing his bidding enough.
All this while simultaneously trying to delegitimize our entire justice system trying to hold Trump and his cronies liable for their many criminal activities over the past eight years.
Gaslight, obstruct, and project.
Definitely heading for a Russian style “democracy” if the gop is allowed to return to power.
The only answer is for Trumplethinskin to perform 1000 hours of community service beginning in September.
Warn? WARN? The arrogance is astounding. Just who do they think they are?
One of those dipshits said “we’re not a banana republic”. That’s correct. Even legislators in those countries know that shitting on their own legal system is counterproductive, but that hasn’t been the case here!
I’m so sick of these crybabies tearing the country apart simply out of spite. Learn what consequences and facts are, you pathetic whiners.
They won’t learn unless a concerted effort is made to teach them a lesson about lying
Just more normal governance from the non-criminal GOP.
The party of LaW aNd OrDeR.
They mean the tv shows, where the cops frequently ignore basic rights of innocent people to get the bad guys.
They mean the two-tiered legal system, where the working class is subject to the expected uncaring legal system, and the monied-class can be protected from prosecution (much less incarceration) by the wink-and-a-nod privileged legal system.
I doubt New York gives a shit about what these Senators think.
