    It’s so fucking stupid that Jan 6 was a cut-and-dried insurrection, that the 14th amendment should obviously bar Trump from office, and yet it might be better, politically speaking, to let him run anyway. All because there’s a giant segment of the population that receives all their news information from sources that scrub it for anything politically detrimental to their party/ point of view.

    I fucking hate it here. Fuck Nixon and Reagan, giant pieces of shit, for bringing this horrible reality to us.

      Problem is its not cut and dried without a conviction. And im blaming Bidens DoJ for that taking this long, they didnt even begin charging him until last august, its 2024 and the trial hasnt even started.

        Tell me you have no idea how the criminal justice system works without telling me you have no idea how the criminal justice system works.

          The DoJ has the authority to charge, arrest, and prosecute for federal crimes.

            Not without due process, they don’t.

              The due process part comes after the prosecution part.

              “the institution and conducting of legal proceedings against someone in respect of a criminal charge”
