Don't promote election interference.
He put himself in the position of not being able to campaign through 34 of 91 crimes. His lawyers dragged the trial into the campaign through delays.
It's his own fault.

If Trump wins, he might use SEAL Team Six against anyone who speaks against him, so basically removing us of our 1st Amendment rights.

This is the article from The Hill explaining SEAL Team Six: Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity

In the hearing that reviewed a motion from Trump’s team to toss his election interference charges, Sauer argued that presidents can only be criminally prosecuted if they have already been tried and convicted by the Senate.

“He would have to be impeached and convicted,” Sauer replied.”

It was an answer to a hypothetical question and Sauer was saying that a president would have to be impeached and convicted by the Senate first.

It's an attack against our country, trying to prevent the people from electing the leading presidential candidate.

The January 6 Committee has been caught repeatedly embellishing events from that day, withholding evidence and witnesses from their findings, and utilizing the public hearings to launch political attacks against Donald Trump in an attempt to handicap his presidential campaign. If Trump wins I expect that we will have a much more transparent government and that there will be great efforts to deal with corruption. For those who have not committed serious crimes there should be no worries.
If they didn't do anything criminal then they shouldn't be concerned about it.

Very sensible argument.

Unless...like so many other things...it was a plan

Yeah? That must be rough. They ALSO got fake electoral college certificates hey? They also stormed the legislative assembly to disrupt the process? They also tried to disenfranchise mail in voters?


Boy sounds awf....wait.

He delayed his trial with his pedantry and now his own behaviour is biting him in the rumperoo. You should be angry at Trump for painting himself into that corner.

His press briefings after court are reaching far more people than rallies would and they don’t cost him anything.

Biden didn't do anything critical and look what he's going through. Most Republicans think he's a criminal without even a charge. Trump is in COURT and those same Republicans are convinced the whole system is rigged against him and he's innocent of anything he's ever been accused of.

It's an attack on our nation, going after Jews and Catholics and pro-lifers and really all conservatives, those who speak out against DEI or CRT, a and a break down of our legal system. Threatening Supreme Court justices. The students are being taught hate, much like in Germany pre-World War II. If they can get Trump they can get anyone.

You forgot to say "woke" anywhere. It's also a bit of a nonsequitor.

I do seem to recall that in the second impeachment proceedings, the argument was proffered that if President Trump had (allegedly) committed crimes that he could be prosecuted for them once he was out of the office, since an impeachment conviction would only remove him from the office (and bar him from holding any position within the government again).

I guess that that was wrong, then?

I don’t know. Sauer could be wrong

Well, hopefully the nuclear codes are changed by now by the military, so Trump does not start WW3. :) He has a quick temper in my opinion, and is unqualified to be a politician, or even a CEO of a company (look at his stock).

Yes, his stock is going up again (still way lower compared to initial value), but the professional stock market analysts say his stock is bad: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/18/1245573728/truth-social-shares-rally-trump-media-technology-djt
There were no new wars when Trump was president. The Democratic Party can not say the same thing about Obama or Biden.

That is true, there were no new wars when Trump was president. But, Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/US-Withdrawal-from-Afghanistan.pdf


TLDR: President Biden aimed to end the longest war in American history and focus on new security threats. However, the conditions inherited from the previous administration limited his options. In 2020, under the Doha Agreement, the US agreed to withdraw all troops by May 2021, while the Taliban agreed to prevent attacks on US forces and negotiate peace. In December 2020, the Trump administration left no plans for the withdrawal or evacuation, resulting in chaos as the Taliban seized control of almost half of Afghanistan's territory when Biden assumed office. Despite initial optimism that the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces could defend their country, events unfolded faster than anticipated, necessitating a quick exit. The experience emphasizes the importance of proper transition coordination and planning.

In my opinion, Joe Biden demonstrated great weakness with the way he haphazardly pulled the US military out of Afghanistan while leaving hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American military equipment for the Taliban.

By transparent do you mean Blatant, completely brazen, obvious, conspicuous, or obtrusive especially in a crass or offensive manner disregard for the law and common decency?

Sounds like an accurate description of Joe Biden there.

You mean the Ukraine war started before Trump, stopped and started again after Trump was defeated?

Yeah, Biden could have pulled off the operation better, and tried to remove the equipment as well, but his first priority was to protect our soldiers. Trying to evacuate thousands of people on planes are a huge feats to pull off.

During the Obama years, Russia annexed Crimea. During the Obama years, ISIS took over almost half of Syria and Iraq. Then, it was when Trump was president that the US military finally went after ISIS and defeated ISIS.
