It must be incredibly exhausting lying all the time. The truth is easier
It's exhausting he never sees the consequences of it.
Well half the country either doesn't give a shit that he's doing it or are straight up happy about it. It's literally like watching Hitler rise to power.
When Trump won in 2016, it was only with about 27% of the votes from eligible voters across the country.
A lot of people don’t vote
So they don't give a shit that he's doing it.
lol ok fine
It's only exhausting if you're trying to avoid getting caught in your lies. Trump doesn't care who knows he's lying.
Why wouldn't he after being told he was allowed to do it by Supreme Court?
Is this not an admission of a fucking federal crime?
The line I have been hearing, and I don't like repeating it but you gotta know the talking points to counter them, is "he said he had every right to, but wouldn't stoop to the lows the dems would so he never acted on it".
It is stupid, but that is their logic/defense from what I am hearing....sad and weird.
ah. the ole sovoreign citizen president defense.
ah. the ole sovoreign ~~citizen~~ president defense.
Just wants to be king.
Soooooo… this is an admission of guilt, right?
Cool. Then Thomas Crooks had every right to try to blow Trump's brains out.
This could have been in trial by now is not for the misbehavior in the DA's office. This was far too important to go mixing relationships with I dunno... Democracy?
They would have found another way to stall. Really this should have gone to trial before the primaries even began, but then Trump wouldn't have been the nominee.
They probably got a heads up about something new in a case and are trying to get ahead of it with their base. Since we know the MAGA cultists don't consider time to be linear. The past can be in any order they want at the time. It's all just the past.
No law. No order. Got it.
Well, at least he's learnt his lesson and been suitably punished so he's definitely not going to do anything like that again.
Probably not really needed but /s...
Fuck Susan Collins
Confession before his next guilty conviction.
"Your honor, I'd like to introduce into evidence Prosecutions Exhibit A, where the Defendant willfully admitted his crimes live on stage in front of hundreds of people."
When you’re a dictator, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the polls. You can do anything.

No one. No one "has heard" of it, because you're the first fucking person to do it, fuck wad.
…and if I did, it wasn’t wrong.
Hey, FBI? Look! Over here. He’s doing it again.
Maybe we shouldn’t let him get away with everything he does.
Doesn't the SCOTUS agree with him? Or did I misunderstand those clowns?
It seems he is claiming he interfered with the election as an official action, so it checks out...
Except.... the executive branch has no role in elections. It cannot be an official action.
Anything you say can, and will, be used against you.
if only 😐
