    So we are ok with a convicted felon to be president because “it’s not practical”? Lmfao. Man, this country is such a clusterfucker. If it were me or you, we would have been in prison since yesteryear.

      His deplorable followers get nearly the same treatment. If “antifa” or BLM was openly planning, for months, on descending on the Capitol to overturn an election, I think they’d be ready with turret-mounted guns.

      As it was, donvict’s “peaceful protesters” were allowed the run of the place. They did nothing to try to even get most of them. Took years in some cases to track down these terrorists, and they still haven’t gotten all of them yet. The terrorist(s) that planted those bombs - still unpunished.

      But a person doesn’t magically stop being president just because they are in prison.

      Do do we just have a prisoner that hapoens to be president?

      What if this prisoner/president just orders the military to break him out?

      Yea this doesn’t work, any attempt to imprison a president will lead to an invocation of the insurrection act and martial law, and trump would declare anyone who tries to imprison him an enemy and order for their arrest. And if in prison, the military will get him out. (remember, the military leans right wing, most of the military voted trump)

      That’s why the judge is saying it’s “impractical”. Its not necessarily the judge being a bootlicker, the judge just knows its futile.

        In a perfect world where laws actually apply to everyone equally, this person wouldn’t be president to begin with. The fact that you’re talking about a prisoner being president is insane in and of itself. Dude should’ve been banned from running/impeached whenever a conviction happened. End of story. You’re a felon, nope, you can’t run. You can’t even reach the white house.
