Counter offer: Pass a law barring people facing felony charges from running for President.
If it would keep you from owning a gun:
ATF form 4473, line 21c and d:
"c. Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more than one year, or are you a current member of the military who has been charged with violation(s) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and whose charge(s) have been referred to a general court-martial?
d. Have you ever been convicted in any court, including a military court, of a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more than one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation?"
Why should you be allowed the button? 🤔
I think we just need something like “can you legally buy a gun? Then you can run for president”
Among the bill’s cosponsors is House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who recently told Politico, “I think it’s common sense that you can’t have the president sitting in the Oval Office worried about whether some lawyer or some local DA somewhere is going to go after him.”
How is this common sense? Politicians are in urgent need of more fear of the law and voters.
Can you imagine if this was normalized for the president, and then over time became acceptable for other people?
“You can’t have congress people worried about whether some lawyer will go after them.”
“You can’t have CEO’s worried about whether the DA will go after them.”
“You can’t expect your boss to worry about whether you will go after them.”
“You can’t expect your pastor to worry about whether the faithless will go after them.”
They’re so out of touch with the rest of the world, they think they should be immune from prosecution.
And yet they don’t seem to realize that most people think prison is the best place for all of them. Nobody gives a fuck about their well-being or their “worries.”
In other words, “Let’s strip out one of the checks and balances built in to the country in order to ensure we get the very dictator king the founders sought to prevent.”
The President is worried about the world getting nuked, spies, destabilization, economy, and more. A lawyer is the LEAST of their worries and, honestly, shouldn’t be worried unless they breach the duties of their position.
In the end, they are a representative of US. They are still a person, albeit with a ton of power, but a person who represents a country. They are human and should be subject to all of the same laws. So should all forms of government (Legislative and Judicial). Just because we provide you with our voice doesn’t mean you get to not be held accountable when you misrepresent or flat out do illegal shit.
It’s just common sense that there are two classes of people in the world. Those the law protects but does not bind, and those the law binds but does not protect.

This is proof that for the ruling class life really is just a game… of Monopoly ™️ .
Yeah. Best they can do is… a few bullshit gestures that will go no where.
unless they win.
He wants a “too big to fail” law for politicians. Its so stupid and short sighted, but its an obvious result of a narcissist under pressure.
Candyass pussy should be stripped of everything and exiled to putinland to shut him up
Sounds like someone’s broadcasting his confidence in the NY criminal trial defense.
So it sounds like they’re wording this that it would cover ‘former presidents’ so in theory Biden would also be protected. The GOP wouldn’t be able to go after him for their made up charges. Are they willing to protect Trump and not go after Biden? Probably, if it ensures Trump will be president again.

I mean, this was hardly “advocating assassination.” I never once suggested death was the solution. But whatever.
That’s what being on .world gets you. That instance is all about free speech and open federation, except for when a mod or admin gets upset and censors the most milquetoast political statements.
That’s all instances. Mods are all open when it’s what they want. Lemm.ee is just as bad. Try speaking a lefty mind in the conservative community lol.
GOP legislators better do what Trump wants if they know what’s good for them.
Come on, neo-cons, kneel down and kiss his ring.
Daddy Donald gonna give their rumps a spanking!
not if he’s taking a nap.
Can they also pass a law forcing both Stormy Daniels and Hilary to suck him dry?
Ofcourse once that written in the books, all we gotta do is go find a vampire and get him to bite Hilary and Stormy. Then my master evil plan would probably work.
But whatever, sure, another trial? Yeah I’m sure we’ll get him this time! What did he do now? Run a red light? That’s 20 shots to the head if you’re a poor Mexican or black. But not previous Trump. He gets yet another trial. That’s what rich assholes get.
fascists gonna fash. while you’re right about racial double standards, they go beyond that for the god emperor.
they were just crying about an fbi raid supposedly being an assassination attempt, after his lawyers literally arguing that a president should be able to assassinate their opposition without repercussions.
as long as the president is orange, i guess.
They’ll pass it too.
He’ll be dead after a second term lol. It’s a (evil) miracle he’s made it this far on a cocaine and fast food diet.
Everything I’ve heard about Trump is that he’s straight edged. No drugs or alcohol.
I’ve heard the same, I also know he’s a liar and drugs were known to be all over the White House when he was president. I can believe he doesn’t drink, but his personality and behavior (e.g. working/tweeting hours) say cocaine to me.
I feel like if he were a user, he’d have been caught by now, and losing a brother (iirc) to addiction is a solid enough reason to expect sobriety of him.
Ok but Biden still isn’t in Gaza to act as human shield which means I’m gonna vote for Trump, twice!
