    I hope it’s not only lost on them, I hope they think this means Trump wins by default and won’t vote.

          At least he knows he’s full of shit.

          His campaign is basically a parody, but he is an actual licensed legal attorney…

        Where the hell are we keeping all of these ponies, and how will we afford their food and healthcare?

          We’ll put them under the new PonyCare plan, and brush their teeth every day, after they finish eating the grass…

    Remember when all the democrats lined up at the courthouse to spew lies and slander about the judge, jury, and called it a rigged judiciary system?

    Yeah, do not let any mainstream media assholes do the tried and tested “both sides are the same” bullshit.

    Can we please, please stop posting screenshots of articles instead of links to them? It’s way less useful and not at all easier.

    They wouldn’t get it since multiple felony convictions are apparently not a blocker to run for president… they’re simply a fundraising opportunity!

      Although, I heard yesterday that Trump is not allowed to associate with other convicted felons, which is like everyone he associates with. Not going to help the rallies.

      As much as I’d like Trump not to run, you really don’t want to disqualify people from running bcz of a criminal record. That opens us up to fake criminal prosecutions just to disqualify your political opponents.

        True, but that’s why people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.

          Sure, but you can stack courts with judges who could do things like turn a blind eye to jury intimidation.

          And like, do we know anyone who would doxx jurors and ask to the violent masses “won’t someone rid me of this turbulent priest?” Or who would stack judges?

          A would-be dictator is the exact thing the founding fathers built a constitution to protect against, and this design is no accident. A popular candidate can’t be sidelined by a dictator.

          Their failing was that they vastly overestimated the competency of the electorate, and the competency of the electorate was what their imagined vaccine against dictatorship was. Without it, the entire concept of democracy kinda falls apart.

    Wait, he was running? Did someone care? Like did he have any realistic change that anyone would like him to get through the primaries? I mean he certainly didn’t have the chance to get through them but maybe he had like 1 Supporter somewhere or something
