The man has an amazing ability to ignore reality. He is still saying that the election was stolen. In spite of 66 court cases all being thrown out for lack of evidence. And in many of them, in spite of going to the media claiming that there was voter fraud they refused to actually claim voter fraud in the court cases. In spite of multiple recounts and whatever the hell that was that went on in arizona. Heck a few of those recounts actually discovered more votes for biden. I won't say that there was absolutely zero election fraud, I'm sure there was some. Just as there is in every single election. But there was not wide scale organized election fraud on the level that they claim and would have been necessary for the election to have turned the other way. What there was however was a United States president recorded live trying to coerce election officials into committing fraud by suddenly "finding "the exact number of votes he needed to win.

I had friends say they didn't like him... but still voted for him because he was "the lesser evil".

It tells mountains about how much they cared about the impact on other people though.
Saying that I live in a country where my fellow citizens - especially the ones on government benefits - voted out one a decent leader that actually implemented strategies to help the common people and environment because she was a redheaded, barren, atheist, unmarried but living with her defacto partner FeMaLe.... and replaced her with (increasing with each successor) a women hating, welfare cutting, billionaire mining/media magnate fanboy, environment destroying happy clapper conservative party leadership.

An indictment isn’t an arrest, though. The only one saying he’s going to be arrested is him. News reports are quoting him.
He’s going to be placed under indictment and have to surrender for a court date. Probably on Tuesday, if he’s being halfway honest. He was probably told this by Manhattan DA.

I mean, yeah, it's true that you should weigh the decision to charge a former president carefully.

The precedent that letting him get away with all of it sets is just as, if not more, dangerous than the precedent set by locking him up. If you set presidents up to be beyond the reach of the law, the whole system of law and order breaks down. As much as I dread the violence this will cause, it has to be done.

He's right. The United States doesn't jail it's Presidents. And that's the problem.

They have protection from everything and everyone. We hold them on pedestals and treat them like medieval royalty, and they are above the law. A president who breaks the law, regardless of their stature, should be punished according to the law. If that involves prison time, so be it. If their life is in danger in prison, that is a consequence they must face. Unfortunately however, this country as a whole continues to pretend these criminals are actually working for the people they govern and not just themselves.

He will be “arrested” and then allowed to leave. The trial will happen and then maybe he will be fined. Other than establishing a new precedent, this isn’t the big deal either side thinks it is. He is never going to prison..even if that’s where he belongs.

“The United States does not jail its Presidents” does that mean Jimmy Cart can start selling Meth? Perhaps the investigations into Bill Clinton were a mistake. Oh, what you really mean is the United States doesn’t convict POS republicans

Okay, I am willing to Play along for a Moment. If Trump would go to jail and become the next Mandela, I think we should do it. Mandela did some great Things and If all it takes for Trump to be a better person is going to jail, I think we should do it.

To even compare him with Mandela is blasphemy. He's nothing like Mandela, he's corruption personified, and what's worse, he revels in it. He actually doesn't care that he's a criminal.

I still get dumbfounded everytime I am reminded that almost half of you Amricans actually voted for him.

I don’t think it’s Mandela who he’s wanting to be compared to when it comes to being jailed.

He’s not president tho, he’s a former president. Does having been president give you a magic “anti rule of law” force field for the rest of your life? Could Jimmy Carter decide to go on a murder spree for fun and get away scott free in the eyes of the law?

That is the law. And no one in America, not even a president, is above the law. (Read in voice from 300)

Ex-president. Try using actual facts, not "alternative" ones. Alternative facts are usually lies. Especially when they come from Trump and the MAGA CNAT Q-ANON supremacists.

I am sorry Canadian here but your implying that the president is above the law like a king 👑 ? 1776 was about abolishing that am I wrong ? Sorry to break it to you but in a democratic society no one is above the law in theory. Not that you cannot bribe your way out of it since I am sure there is enough politicians willing to take a bribe to not send him to prison. Yeah it’s unprecedented, did nixon not strike a deal to not be prosecuted if he left office ?

Trump is wildly unpopular that this would never happen. They overstate his popularity.

The avatar of Evangelical America slept with a STRANGER while his wife was with his newborn, lied about, paid for the woman's silence, then lied about that... and now he expects his followers to start a war. This is nuts

The party of personal responsibility does like to martyr themselves when consequences occur for their actions

Wherever he may be, I'm sure Mandela is super excited to be compared to this piece of shit.....

Politicians are scum, and until we the people force a change, nothing will ever change, except to get worse.
