    What good is being president if you can’t instruct your justice department to investigate the woman you raped? Excuse me! I thought this was America!

    Accuser makes it sound like he was not found guilty of rape. If Trump is not impeached the US will be rightly viewed as an autocratic banana republic.

      I feel like we blew past banana republic a while back and are onto deciding whether we’re a nation of laws at all anymore. The idea that the US is a democracy is laughable.

        sure it is, poors get one set of laws and rich get the other, as is tradition for the “roman model” of governance

        Frankly, the continuing inaction to do nothing at all to even admonish the administration for openly corrupt behavior turning everything into a personal benefit for trump is depressing even if someone implemented ‘other methods’.

        As bad as Trump is, it’s more worrying that no one is even vaguely willing to go along with ousting him. The handful of GOP that was even vaguely on the fence has been ousted at this point. Since the supreme court has ruled that openly politically aligned and outright racist districting is ok, and challenges about each state’s districting are only ever valid if the challenge would strike down a democrat plan…

      He was found liable not guilty, and if you don’t understand the difference you should read instead of commenting.

      Every accusation is a confession of either what the Repedopublicans are already doing, or what they plan to do.

      Every. Time.

    I didn’t rape that woman, I only rape children. I didn’t loose the 2020 election. My very fine phone call with Georgia proves that. 🫲🍊🫱

    Remember all the assholes in the Tone Police from the “liberal media”, as well as all the reactionary centrists, as well as a few self-styled online leftist revolutionary types were all spending lots of time and energy wagging their fucking fingers at Biden pardoning his family?

    Seems he knew full well what a goddamned monster Pumpkinhead and his crime wave really are. If I were to criticize this action, it’s that he didn’t spread the net much wider.

      Just because Trump is a shit doesn’t mean Biden should be allowed to be. This is the problem with the democrats, they figure as long as they are a hair better than fascists they should be respected. Hunter is a peice of shit crackhead who made a career lobbying for foriegn interests based on his connection to his daddy. 2 in 10 Americans supported Bidens decision to unconditionally pardon his idiot of a son. The problem here is that the pardon exists at all. There should be checks and balances against it being abused.

        We all know that Pumpkinhead would have gone full lawfare on everyone in Biden’s family otherwise. And for a big nothingburger. He was a crackhead? He sold paintings based on his name recognition?

        Meanwhile, Pumpkinhead pardoned terrorists so that some of them could go on to commit more crimes - like molesting children.

        Don’t compare the two things; it’s patently ridiculous. Biden only had to do this because he knows just what a vindictive asshole Pumpkinhead is and so very butthurt that he LOST to Biden.

      Whatever israel tells them to do, same as the US, maybe to a lesser degree. The Epstein honeypot swept up leaders across the globe, including in France. Pretending France, Germany, the Uk, Denmark, etc are free of their bribing and compromat influence is wishful thinking.
