"except me!"
"it's not a real felony!"
"it doesn't count if [insert BS here]!"
If it's not a real felony the body has ways of shutting that down. ---some republican probably.
Or to paraphrase the man himself:
"Take the presidency by any means necessary, handle due process later."
I better use some [handcuffs] just in case I start [committing crime]. You know I'm automatically attracted to [committing crime]—I just start [doing] them. It's like a magnet. Just [crime]. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the [judicial system]. You can do anything.
Definitely he'll use the 2nd. It's like the "You'll never see me again if I lose" all over again. It doesn't count, since he didn't lose!
You'll never see me again if I lose
Please? Pretty please?
Easy deflection of it was a kangaroo court, a sham, not real. Which is what he is already saying
"any court that doesn't let me off scott-free from my multitude of cimes is obviously rigged!"
Don't worry. Just talked to someone today that was absolutely confident that no one knows what he was convicted of and it wasn't unanimous. So they won't have to worry about a "felon" in office. It's simple really.
The part that really scares me aren't the loons disconnected from reality, but the normal people who cannot believe that there are such stupid people in the world.
Just constantly and for ever going around thinking, "I can fix them if I tell them Y!". No. No you cannot. They are idiots emotionally vested in NOT believing reality. You cannot fix them by reminding them of what they're actively ignoring...
i remember the days of "you won't change their minds by shitting on their opinions!! we need to respect their viewpoint!!!!"
yea. look where that got us...
Reminds me of an old sub on the other site: TrumpCriticizesTrump
Nobody mocks Trump like Trump does.
He's the best trump mocker in the history of the United States.
Lemme just bookmark this real quick.
This is gold Jerry! Gold!
Now, upon first glance, one might be tempted to conclude that this showcases an instance of hypocrisy - Trump demanding a clean rap sheet when it concerns others and being perfectly fine with getting power any which way himself, but upon closer inspection, it is obvious that this seamlessly fits into Trump's system of moral standards, that system being best described as "ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME [...] ME and also me".
So, it is really important to recall and reframe these statements. But I really hate "news" about old news "resurfacing". Because it's literally not news and hasn't been for a long time.
It's an expenditure of the outlet's credibility to do the job of a different type of media. Even if I agree with it, I just expect The Independent to be slightly closer to a tabloid than a serious publication now. Let the DNC & pundits field this messaging.
Totally random social media person is another bridge too far.
Oh well, since it's here anyway I hope it helps at least a couple people move their mindset forward.
It is news, it is put into context regarding a recent event that just occurred, Trump becoming a convicted felon.
