    Also McDonald Trump

    “Please don’t be too nice,” he said to the audience in Long Island, New York.

    “When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’” he said.

    “When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head],” Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, ‘Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.’ I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’

    “I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they’ve been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you’re in more jeopardy than they are,” he added.

    Honestly, the most shocking thing for me about that search was the fact they’ve never reported finding CSAM anywhere along with the classified docs. I seriously expected no less of him.

        If you think locking him up would make him more popular, you fundamentally don’t understand Republicans. They value power and hierarchy. They value doing things and getting away with them.

        They are not like Democrats and liberals who value ideas. There are no Republican martyrs. When Nixon resigned, Republicans stopped talking to him.

        Don’t you remember how quiet it was when Biden was elected? Trump couldn’t get on TV anymore. Maybe he would call in to a show or two, but he didn’t have any rallies and nobody interviewed him. When Republicans go to jail nobody supports them, because they value hierarchy.

        The whole point of hierarchy is that you’re untouchable.

          Exactly. As soon as he’s out of sight he’s forgotten about. There won’t be any martyrdom if he goes to jail. They’ll just move on to whoever the angry talking heads stear them towards.

    The former president, in a typically loud post on his social media platform Truth Social, claimed that FBI agents had been authorized to use ‘deadly force’ during the raid of his Florida property

    Yet another missed opportunity by Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice.

    In his Truth Social tirade, Mr Trump slammed the August 2022 at his Florida home and private club.

    “WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the ‘Icebox,’ and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE.

    What’s he complaining about? Isn’t he the one who said the President can do no wrong?

      That seems like a dumb non-complaint that will nevertheless resonate with his paranoid base.

      If you get pulled over for just rolling through a stop sign, did you know THE COP BRINGS THEIR GUN WITH THEM when they approach your car???

          That was kind of my point. Trump is trying to speak to his base that has no problems with police violence or guns, but do somehow care when HE complains about how it affects HIM.

        I have no sympathy for people of a political party who loathe my and me friend’s entire existences.
        I’m an awful person for other reasons, thank you very much.

          Great! I have no sympathy for an organization that targets innocent civilians so death to Hamas by any means necessary. Glad we worked that out :)

          See how fucking crazy that sounds? >!Please don’t give me the same lines about “how can I compare innocent children being starved to blah blah blah” idc. Those “innocent children” are being raped and murdered by Hamas with zero impunity because of *people like you.!<

            I’m not going to even respond this in good faith when your username makes fun of a woman who was slandered by the media for decades for having her baby murdered by a wild animal.

            Nothing you’re gonna say is going to convince me to support a party that has, for centuries, supported slavery, discrimination against anybody who isn’t a cis straight white male and climate change denial, among other things.

            Also: Fuck Hamas. Fuck the IDF. Free the Israeli and Palestinian people. See how I can support people while being against militaristic slaughter?

            Dumbass.

              I totally agree but I see it reversed. Trumps policies had the economy going well. He’s a douche. But times were better. They ain’t getting better under Biden. But fuck me. I’ve never voted for a dem or republican. Wrote in Wu Tang last time as a protest. Doesn’t matter either way. I’m in NY so they go blue with or without me. Fuck em all I say but if I had to pick one (I don’t have to and won’t) gotta have Trump just to change up from Biden. It’ll suck but suck less. We need more and better options. People seem to pick based on one issue. I say the economy is the most important thing even though I believe women should have abortions. But step one and then push real reform to the system so we’re not dealing with these dumb choices. I think I’ll write in Donald Duck this time.

                I mean, there’s a bunch of studies that say the economy was good and others saying the economy was bad, but it did feel better than now. Probably because of COVID and increasing corporate greed, but I’m not an economics major.

                Slightly relevant note: the budget deficit more than doubled by the end of 2019, and the numbers show he added at least 7 billion to the national debt (probably a combination of tax cuts that never quite worked out, COVID-related spending and other things)

                I do want to push back on the point of his presidency sucking less - Project 2025, which proposes things like an end of discrimination laws against LGBTQ people, ending funding for programs that benefit low-income groups and complete abandonment of climate change policy, has pretty close ties to Trump’s organization and that’s pretty worrying.

                He’s also said some pretty crazy stuff on the campaign trail that worries me greatly, like seeking revenge for his indictments for various charges and calling illegal migrants “animals”.

                But on the other hand, we have Biden, a man who is clearly on his way out and too scared to deliver on many of his campaign promises.

                American politics fuckin’ suck.

        Is wishing Hitler had died before he did what he did bad? Trump wants to hurt/kill other people. Him being dead would prevent this. He is not an innocent person and is an immediate threat to many. His death would likely be a positive.

        (There is the issue of him becoming a martyr if he dies the wrong way. This could cause even more issues potentially.)

      I mean, aren’t they always? If someone starts shooting at an FBI agent they’re not going to call their field office for permission to shoot back.
