    Why should I give a shit about Trump’s million felony charges when Democrats clearly don’t? Every US president in my lifetime has been an unrepentant war criminal, and Trump will never face any material consequences for any crimes he committed as president. If the Democrats seriously believe Trump is an existential threat to American “democracy”, it’s entirely within their power to disqualify him from running, imprison him for life, or execute him without any input from congress or the courts.

      Yup their message about how Trump has broken a bunch h of laws has been really undercut by them breathlessly defending the last three people who refused to do anything about him.

      “They only get one shot at this which is why the smart move is to never do anything, why isn’t there any enthusiasm for us?”

          Few thing shave done more to solidify my hate for liberals than them screaming at me I’m just a Russian troll when I said, over and over, that lifelong reoublican spooks weren’t going to do anything to a republican president.

          And then 6 months later the same people getting mad those Republicans are doing exactly what I said they would.

          And then getting exactly as mad and screaming at me the next time it happens 3 weeks later.

          Liberals love losing while claiming the moral high ground making them not only completely useless but also totally insufferable.

            It’s not about getting results for liberals. They just need to look like they tried. That’s why all those lists of Biden’s accomplishments are all stuff he tried and failed at, or worse, stuff he only said he was going to do.

      Even if Trump is guilty of every crime the Democrats accuse him of, all of that pales in comparison to Biden’s war crimes in Gaza, and it’s not even close.
