    Name one president who has been charged with a crime more serious than a speeding ticket.

    Now,

    Name another US president that staged a fucking insurrection because he lost the fucking election.

    While we wait for those answers, do you really think your bronzed-idol trump is actually being falsely accused?

      Now now, Trump isn’t NECESSARILY being charged with just that.

      He also removed confidential documents from the White House without them being properly redacted, potentially sold or gave those documents to other parties (or at least allowed them to see the documents), AND may have conspired to silence stories about him in an illegal manner prior to the 2016 election, AND may have also conspired to submit false documentation regarding the 2020 election results to several states AND may have also attempted to force the Georgia Secretary of State to falsify their results.

      Unfortunately, I have little hope of any of these coming to fruition as convictions - Cannon is all but conceding the documents trial to Trump via extensions, delays, and simply attempting to drop the trial entirely, Georgia’s prosecution forgot it was improper to fuck each other during a case, and New York can’t help but keep giving them more time.
