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..."

4 years of CNN edging their wieners over Jack Smith and the walls closing in poof up in smoke because he's king now. OH WELL

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

clearly the civil, respectable, mature response to a fascist winning an election and becoming an existential threat to all that is good in the world is to drop charges

Oh so I guess he didn't do anything wrong and the whole thing was a political witch hunt just like he said, huh? anya-heh

[–] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

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

jfc, the way dems roll over isn't even funny anymore.

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 42 points 2 months ago (13 children)

No. It is his privilege to abandon ideals at the whims of capital.

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!

Charlie Brown could never have predicted that Lucy would pull away the football again this time

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

trump has threatened many families who can't resist and will get rolled over too.

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

exactly. the person that CAN defend himself and other people who cannot, is being a big coward isnt he.

I said when they first charged him that if Trump spends even a single day in prison I will eat my own dick and I stand by it

Always correct

The next four years are going to be wild. Trump will just do the evil illegal shit every president does but won't even try to sugar-coat it.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

At least there will be pushback from average libs maybe, if Copmala won she would do the same things but we would be scolded for not "trusting the process" if we pointed it out.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

I'm hoping libs will join the left in the streets now, but I'm afraid they'll just pout about "tankies" and fantasize about Palestinians dying.

I wonder how many people he'll label as auntiefa and have US marshals assassinate leftists en masse :(

Just wait until Lev Parnas goes on TV. It will change everything.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I still don't know what a Lev Parnas is and I'm proud. I'm proud i don't know that

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

I think Lev Parnas is the planet where Luke learns to be a jedi from Yoda?

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I think Lev Parnadas are a delicious Spanish meal
