        Also, some would want them to be their usual bastard selves to some convicted felons.

        If they did their jobs and only their jobs, way fewer people would call them bastards. They still would be, but much less so.

      Is Trump’s spray tan enough for some cops to actually arrest him?

    If Donald is immune, isn’t Kamala immune if she orders the FBI to throw him in the brig if (please, don’t fuck this up! VOTE!) she becomes president?

        We’d have to ask the Supreme Court if that’s the case and the way those “super neutral judges” act… maybe we wait until after the election for that one.

        Pretty sure SCOTUS carved out the exception for only the president based on their bullshit logic that the president needs to act without waiting a few seconds to consult the president’s army of lawyers waiting on standby 24 hours a day.

          Specifically several sitting justices have previous white house administration experience where they had to worry about consulting their lawyers because of the illegal stuff they were doing (like Iran Contra).

      Just sit down in the corner for a minute, and think of how trump’s supporters would react if someone actually stole the election like that.

      There’d be a civil war.

        They’re already demanding civil war if he loses fairly.

          Yeah, that’s my point. He lost fair and square, and they refused to believe it and staged an insurrection. If you actually did pull something like that, out in the open, there would be a second civil war.

      Biden could do it after the votes are cast, but to what end? We really need a functioning justice system …

    It’s funny how every Trump’s campaign slogan he used to attack other candidates can now be used on him.

    Aside from not being Trump (which is a great trait), I know next to nothing about Harris. I know she’s a former prosecutor, and might be able to identify her if she showed up at my door

    What else should I know about her (and should I be hopeful of her pushing any meaningful progressive policies)?

    I love how y’all hate the police,but when you get beat up or robbed, you call the police. Ironic eh.

      “Yet you participate in society.”

      Edit: in case anyone wants to understand, which this person doesn’t seem to, the problem with “you hate the cops yet you call them” is twofold:

      1. A lot of us don’t call the cops. They’re useless at getting anything stopped or fixed, they tend not to care when it’s reported and often will only make your life worse. However, sometimes due to how the law and money work, sometimes we have to call them. Which leads directly into…
      2. The cops have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. That means that anyone trying to get justice in any other way than that sanctioned by the state will be in trouble with the state. The police’s monopopy alienates us from our own means of defending ourselves. We have to beg for scraps of justice from the table of our masters.

          By making broad general assumptions and also missing the entire point? If you want to point out irony or what sounds like is better characterised as hypocrisy, it helps to actually understand the position you are criticising. Then you can critique it correctly and not just throw out banal, meaningless whataboutism, which is what you did.

          I take it from your general attitude that you’re not actually curious to understand what the problem we have with the police is. Is that accurate?
