Fuck TIME Magazine for giving anyone a platform to make threats against others.
But it's important that the stuff he says gets documented. If for no other reason than if it all goes downhill, the alien anthropologists can figure out what the hell happened after we exterminate ourselves.
No it's not. Put this asshole in jail for all his crimes already.
Except he can still run for and win the presidency from jail. Clearly still important for anyone who is amazingly still on the fence to know that he ja threatening to do scary shit.
The implication, well one of many, is that the President is the one charging Trump with these crimes. He's being charged for state crimes, by the various states AGs, in accordance to their laws. He's also being sued civilly by people he's defrauded, sexually assaulted, or defamed.
The current president and current administration has had no input in any of this.
The federal cases he has stem from his "mishandling" of classified documents after he was out of office. This case is being handled by a special prosecutor who is insulated from the executive and bound by laws, procedure, legal ethics, etc to act independently from the administration.
So, at the end of the day it's just more absolute horse shit from Trump and more evidence he should never be on the ballot.
It's the persecution complex that attracts his followers. He must be a danger to the deep state of he's been accused of breaking so many laws!
"If you give me immunity for my crimes, I'll give you immunity for your crimes. Deal?"
"I haven't committed any crimes."
"..."
Oh sweet, he’s at the threat-begging stage.
Do I wanna know what stage comes after that?
Sure thing, just like he locked Clinton up. Why does anyone believe the stupid shit this idiot says?
It's different now though. He didn't have the power to lock her up. This time around, he'll have Project 2025 behind him to allow him to do things like that.
He also didn't have an actual legal case, despite a LOT of digging.
He still doesn't have an actual legal case against the Bindens either, despite a LOT of Russian support trying to falsify something.
He won't need any. Can just "trump" up some charges (pun not intended). He'll be a dictator, it won't matter. He could shoot them on 5th Ave. and no one would say a thing
The guy literally tried to overturn an election he lost. It wouldn't surprise me if it's just bluster, but at the same time it also wouldn't surprise me that he is trying to become a tyrant.
Prosecute the Bidens on what grounds? The GOP have been investigating them for a few years now and have admitted they can't find anything, other than Hunter's tax evasion or whatever it was.
He's full of shit and just says whatever the fuck no matter how stupid it is because he loves the uneducated and his followers are certainly that. They believe anything from anyone with an R in front of their name.
I don't think he understands or really believes that there are impartial laws. He thinks when he's being prosecuted it's just personal bullshit targeted at him, so he can do the same to anyone.
Not he says Biden has "committed many crimes" but won't say what those crimes are.
That will give you an idea of what he's going to come up with to charge Biden with. And he'll make it stick too.
That's a common way of thinking in people with little to no ethics. They think everyone else is the same, and thus if you dig you're surely going to find something.
That's a problem with the Republican Party as a whole and why they're constantly projecting. "We would have done that, so of course they did."
It's crazy that this is even a political talking point. I support Biden in this election but I very much want him prosecuted if they have clear evidence of a serious crime he committed.
So... Trump wants immunity in order NOT to go to Jail, but if he doesn't and goes to jail, how will he prosecute Biden? Also, if he gets immunity and somehow becomes president, how is he going to prosecute Biden if Biden also has immunity?
The mental gymnastics he sells his followers would almost qualify as an Olympic event.
Please don't elect this guy.
Sincerely Europe
Unfortunately, you don't really need to address all Americans. It really comes down to the entirely rational people of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania
Waaahhh Waaaahh!
Somebody get that little guy a binky.
For what?
The president would have immunity in that case.
So he's betting on Biden to pardon himself first so he can justify doing it too?
There's the small fact that Biden hasn't committed any crimes and is not facing 90+ indictments.
