we all know people at this level of both govt and high society are career criminals. inside traders, fraudsters, etc. First they came for trump, then biden and his son got their turn. idc if it's a witch hunt or not, keep prosecuting any one of them and i'm on board. our govt already does almost nothing from leadership, the machine mostly runs itself. so if we can at least start putting the fear of god in them might as well.
make them careful how they declare financials for their campaigns, make them careful with classified info, dont hire your bozo kids, etc.
these individual cases may be bunk, but we both know he's got millions in fraud under his belt in New York. fuck around, find out. dont be a shitbag and this stuff doesnt happen.
Consider that Donald Trump has half the country gunning for him with such a hate boner that they're willing to shred the law and pull out all the stops to latch onto ANYTHING against him. With unlimited resources to dig into his past, all his business dealings, tax filings, etc. And the fruit of those searches has been-
- Accusing Trump of colluding with Russia, only to discover that he did not in any way shape or form, but several of his opponents actually did in several shapes and forms, ya know, taking bribes from oligarchs and buying fake opposition research from the Kremlin
- Impeaching Trump for saying Zelensky should look into whether Hunter Biden did anything illegal in Ukraine, after which we learned Hunter Biden absolutely did all kinds of illegal stuff in Ukraine, but Zelensky was a puppet for the DNC so he was just talking to his domestic political opponents lmao
- A hush money charge in new york that completely inverts the FEC precedent and criminalizes all behavior by every politician in a catch 22
- Charges for holding classified documents even though so did every other president, including multiple for Biden, just because Trump waved some irrelevant document around to criticize Mark Milley for his strategic incompetency
- Trying to lock up Trump for merely existing adjacent to the January 6th riot, in which he didn't even do anything but tell people to go home- at both the federal level and georgia 'for telling people to validate the election'
- Accusing Trump of raping a withered old batshit insane and hideously ugly woman who spent her entire life as an outspoken feminist firebrand but magically only came up with a rape story when went on a book tour (that mirrors 1:1 an old episode of Law and Order). Contemporaneous with Trump banging a laundry list of supermodels who all repeatedly vouched for him being a gentleman
- Accusing Trump of inflating his assets by pointing out examples of Trump very provably not inflating his assets, by comparing the incomparable property value and assessed values in florida
The point being, if you can give this man a prostate exam and the biggest polyp of actual misconduct you turn up is that he waved around papers that he has the plenary power to declassify, just to make a point about how a liberal general was actually incompetently leading America into wars that would get hundreds of thousands of people killed, and Trump was the only voice of reason holding us back- uh, that's not exactly damning. In a sane society, we wouldn't try to dig for scraps of dirt on political opponents, we'd oppose their policies in a vigorous and civilized discourse. But spending 7 years digging into Trump's rectum they've turned up basically nothing. Maybe there's less there than you'd assume given his fat ass
