    If we can’t even get Trump to stop running despite being a convicted felon, I don’t even know if we can catch up with the next fucker. Dude could literally shoot someone on 5th Ave and the government would go “Well, they’re the president, what are you going to do about it?”

      Didn’t he directly say he could shoot someone and still win the (2016) election? I swear I remember seeing that he flat out said that, I think around the time of the Republican primary debates

      Having convicted felon be able to run for office is a good thing. I don’t want a Navalny situation in my country.

      An insurrectionist, though? Fuck that noise. Trump should be hanged. He tried to violently overthrow the government.

      If they don’t remove presidential immunity during the next president’s term in office we’ll be sitting on a time bomb of WHEN, not IF, a president uses that immunity to destroy our democracy.

      I mean, I know we’re probably all well aware that this is exactly why the immunity ruling was made and it makes it all the more dire that it be rectified and codified in unambiguously worded law as soon as possible.
