    He already told Hillary to her face he was going to prosecute her and send her to prison. Then when he was in office he backed down immediately.

    They have investigated him before and only came up with stuff his son Hunter did. Turns out you have to commit crimes to get imprisoned.

    Trump did. And if he gets imprisoned on July 11th, I guarantee you the American people will stand for it.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Fresh off last week’s historic guilty verdict, former President Donald Trump had a warning for his political opponents on Tuesday.

    “I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of America, Joe Biden, and go after the Biden crime family,” Trump said in June at his Bedminster, New Jersey, residence, just hours after being arraigned at a federal courthouse in Miami on charges related to his handling of classified documents after he left the White House.

    He also suggested there would be a “breaking point” for the public if he ends up serving jail time or imprisoned on house arrest after being found guilty in his hush money trial.

    On Thursday, a New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts in his hush money case, related to covering up payments to an adult film star in order to help 2016 campaign.

    Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the hush money case, placed a gag order on Trump barring him from talking about jurors, potential witnesses and individual prosecutors that he has not lifted since the trial ended.

    In January, after he continued to deny Carroll’s claims and attack her publicly, he was ordered to pay her an additional $83 million for defamation.


    The original article contains 605 words, the summary contains 210 words. Saved 65%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    There’s no realistic alternative to voting for Biden.

    It’s either; make sure Trump loses, or watch the USA and the bulwark of democracy it represents around the world be destroyed.

    (Edit: sorry for the rant)

    I think most of the ‘low information voters’ (this actually means ‘low intelligence’ but people are afraid to say that) who think Trump is ‘as good or better than the other guy’ are utterly deluded. Their basic lack of intelligence and education has shown this to be the case anyway.

    There is absolutely no excuse for voting for Trump unless you are utterly fucked in the head, or so cynical that you think you might make some Pugh money to survive once the US government implodes.

      The US does not represent democracy. And it is ever more clear it is not a democracy, but rather the illusion of one controlled by oligarchs and private interests. There is merely an illusion of choice.

    trumps always wanted to be “in the club” that’s all he’s always wanted.

    It why he donated so much to Democrats that Bill and Hillary felt obligated to attend one of his weddings.

    He thought not pressing charges would get him “in the club” because the next president always pardons others because “consequences would divide the nation” or some other such bullshit.

    He legit thought that would quid pro quo him into not facing any charges too.

    If he gets office again, he’s going after everyone who disagrees with him.

    Which is why Dems need to either run a better candidate, or get Biden to stop fucking around and start listening to his voters.

    It’s too risky to keep using trump as an excuse to shove conservative Dems down America’s throats.

    We need to run a good campaign this time, with a good candidate.
