    What a bunch of garbage all around. If only people stopped electing asshole criminals like him, orange and others around the globe. Stop being idiots and stop electing pos like these. Stop thinking they’re “strong” and want to “feel strong” too by proxy or whatever stupid psych bs used as an excuse. Be best!

    One of the biggest indicators of whether a country is a fascist country is that other fascists flee to that country.

      Eh. This is more an indication that Lulu, specifically, has learned his lessons from his first turn at the Presidency and isn’t going to wait around for the Bolsonaros to organize a coup against him.

      Look at Columbia or El Salvador or Ecuador or Chile. They all had a turn at Biden tier liberalism, let the fascism feaster under their watch, and then got flipped to reactionary dictatorships in the next cycle.

      Lulu got jailed once. He came out stronger and smarter. He’s too old to get shoved back into prison again.

    Well, the US famously don’t like immigrants, so I’m sure the fine boys from ICE will sort him out.

    What?

    What do you mean it doesn’t matter because he’s rich?

    Well, that’s an oddly unprincipled stance to take. So, perfectly good foreign nationals with low net worth will be incarcerated but literally the devil himself would not if he had wealth?

    Yes I know who Elon Musk is…

    If Dems win in a landslide house and Senate I forsee Trump fleeing on his Saudi gifted plane to Saudi Arabia

      lol if dems win they’ll shrug and let it all go so the country can “heal”. Same thing happened after Watergate and Iran Contra. Rich people don’t face consequences here

        You are behind the times. The Dems are making lots of plans to investigate MAGAs when they take over the House and Senate. Jeffries has already set up several committees, assuming he remains Speaker (I hope he gets replaced). The House Dems just released their report on Trump’s involvement in the Epstein Files, signaling that it will be a primary investigation.

        After Jan 6, I argued with MANY who said there would be no justice for the Insurrectionists, and yet, step by step, they eventually imprisoned well over 1000 Traitors. Trump later pardoned them, but the fact remains that those who assumed the Dems would do nothing were entirely wrong.

        And they’re wrong about this as well. I just watched an interview with a Dem member of Congress who said that we absolutely cannot go back to the old ways of doing things, if we expect to regain the trust of the rest of the world. He said we have to make major systemic changes, and rebuilding after MAGA gives us the perfect opportunity to remake the government properly.

        Your wish that MAGA gets away with their crimes will not come true.

          “wish” lol, my only wish is democrats actually grow a spine one single time in the last 50 years

          Original comment was specifically about Trump anyway, he will never face consequences because dems are afraid of him and his followers. Otherwise he’d already be in prison for the insurrection. Or at the very least not allowed to run again because him being on the ballot directly violated the 14th amendment. Trump will pardon himself and issue a blanket pardon for all his henchmen and the dems will say “aw shucks well what are you gonna do?” or issue a strongly worded letter

        • Where do we start with remaking the government properly? Remove the electoral college? End the two party system? Rewrite the Constitution? None of this is going to happen, and although I hope I’m wrong, I believe after one cycle of having Democrats in power the people will say they didn’t do shit and go right back to the Republicans.

      Saudi Arabia is not very happy with being ignored when they asked for help to fight the Houthis. Twice. Moreso after all the “investment” they did into trump’s close circle

    Wait until he plays “President in Exile” in the US until Trump installs him back home, Venezuela-style.
