    Worst of all, Trump is getting treatment in his civil suit.

    He violated gag orders and the judges only gave him ridiculous fines.

    If it had been any citizen who had attacked a court employee on social networks, he would have found himself in prison for 2-3 days.

    Bull. He knows how an economy works. That trumps all the lawfare directed at Trump as the legal rats fight over nonsense in their little corner of the world. Meanwhile back at the beanery, sales of pork and beans are off the charts.

    LoL

    No Republican has asked Galand to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Biden's son.

    None whatsoever.

    Anyway, you contradict yourself because you claim Garland is under orders from the POTUS....

    Only in the warped and twisted fantasy world of MAGA. The judicial system's checks and balances are sufficient to prevent the kind of abuse you and the other MAGA's are crying about. Hell, the Orange Stain appointed an AG who acted as his personal defense lawyer until the Stain went overboard and tried to banana republic his way into a second term. No, you're just pissed that due process is catching up with your icon. And about time. Hopefully, the Orange Stain will soon join all the other felons from his administration and campaign staff as a convicted felon.

    You can create whatever fiction you like to defend your position. I still can’t understand why you are in Hunter Biden’s corner. He’s a crook, and there is no debating that. The concern for you is whether or not the firewall between Hunter and his father can be maintained.

    What are you talking about?

    I don't give a s*** about Hunter Biden.

    If he's committed a crime, let him go to jail.

    The same principle applies to Trump.

    Law and order.

    He would weaponize the living crap out of every government agency and court and use them against his critics. He makes no bones about, and he even said that the Constitution should be terminated.

    "termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” - Donald J Trump

    I won’t waste my time defending Trump. I want him out of the race in 2024.

    My concerns are with a justice department which views parents at school board meeting as terrorists, White males as the most dangerous terrorists in a America and Muslins as the most endangered group in America when 60% of the hate crimes are committed against Jews.

    Funny. For being a guy who doesn’t care about what Hunter Biden does, you just spent a lot of time covering for him.

    Like I said, I think the presidential firewall should be your next concern. $400,000 paid to Biden, Inc., $40,000 paid the Joe Biden, his 10% cut.

    Look on the bright side. If your side can dump Biden, you could nominate a big yellow dog, and it would beat Trump. The only opponent that Trump could possibly beat is Joe Biden.

    Trump, along with his acolytes, whine incessantly about weaponization of the government, then vow to engage in it.

    As early as 2016, Trump intended to use the DOJ to investigate his political opponents.

    Jeff Session was castigated by Trump for recusing himself during the first empeachment.

    Trump said he no longer had a lawyer, whereas the role of the Attorney General is not to defend the President.

    The voters stopped him just before he turned this country into an authoritarian regime.

    A actual dictator would have locked her up. Obama’s DOJ should have locked her up.

    And that - right there - is concise and summarizes the situation perfectly. Trump and his Following seem to think that hypocrisy isn't a big deal. He tells them that he's doing it all for them when we know it is all about him.

    It already has, but when you only watch MSNBC and CNN, you end up ignorant about current events.

    You seem to be concerned about a bunch of imaginary things, or at least heavily editorialized into your world view.

    Thankfully, we have laws that prevent Trump's dictatorial ambitions, and they even survived his attempt to overthrow democracy.

    I agree somewhat, but the question isn’t should we prosecute corruption, its “if your ever elected president your above the law and can never be prosecuted”. Which many believe is why Trump is running again.

    So we as a country should just stop prosecuting people for any crime if they run for office ? This isn't a slippery slop, its a cliff. If we are willing as a country to allow people to be above the law because they are elected to office, why have laws at all.

    And righties need to ask yourself this question: While you are all screaming about the “Biden Crime family”, if he gets re-elected, or even runs for office, are you willing to call off that prosecution ?

    really ? He added 1/3 of our total debt while he was president.

    He knows nothing except that when he does anything, it benefits him first, and if it also benefits anyone else at the same time, he did it wrong

    So he’s not a dictator, just a liar? It’s ok to pretend to be a dictator so long as you don’t follow through with it lol

    He "knows how an economy works," but he wanted to put interest rates in the negatives, he didn't understand the concept of the time value of money, he doesn't understand the trade deficit, etc. etc. He's probably the most economically ignorant president in modern history, dude. And even if he were knowledgeable about the economy, that doesn't excuse his illegal acts.
