Its strange how most convicted felons are locked up and banned from voting
but trump is not only walking free, but running for president
Do it. Call it an official presidential act and it's legal.
Send him to Gitmo or put him in a federal supermax. Legal.
Very legal, very cool
Well now he's really done it, that crossed the line. I won't be voting for Biden now.
I already voted for Kamala Harris, but only because Hunter Biden wasn't on the ballot.
I might write in Arnold Palmer now!
Man, people are voting for a glass of lemonade down there? Are things really that bad?
edit: /s
Are you being /s or unaware of Trump’s rants about AP’s penis the other day?
Sarcastic, yeah, dropped my /s LOL
I love the double standard. Trump can say "arrest all the radical left" and "LOCK HER UP" but if a democrat grows a backbone and says it back it's "THEY'RE BEING MEAN!!! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!"
What controversy? Finally saying something normal. Donald did an insurrection.
It is controversial for two reasons:
There is a point to 1, but when you consider how political discourse has changed in the last decade or so, the change of tone should be expected.
As for 2, don't dish it out if you can't take it.
But I thought they loved locking up criminals
To be fair, he was convicted of many felonies. It would be irresponsible not to.
I hope the controversy is he didn't say it earlier.
The president quickly moderated his remark to suggest figurative rather than literal incarceration
Still no stones as a lame duck.
