    Republicans would be lining up all the way to Russia to crucify a Democrat who did even a fraction of what Dullard Grump bragged about on television.

        Fine, thanks. The connections between Trump’s campaign and Russian intelligence assets are thoroughly proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and the fact that he’s their favorite American politician isn’t even up for debate.

        Sorry it’s so hard to support the traitorous fucker, but have you considered… not supporting the traitorous fucker? I mean, since he’s going to prison soon, might as well start reclaiming your mind from him now.

          Fourth time is the charm, I guess. Not.gonna happen. Just keep throwing shit at the wall. It won’t stick.

            Bet you thought Hillary was going to be indicted, too. And that the wall would be built. And that infrastructure week was real. And that Trump would win reelection.

            Here’s what’s going to happen… Now that Trump isn’t protected by the presidency, he’s going to be in court as a defendant in multiple jurisdictions. And just like he lost every one of the 60+ cases he filed falsely claiming election irregularites - many in courts run by judges he himself appointed - he’s going to lose as a criminal defendant.

            During the trials, you’ll hate every second of it and you’ll scream and rant and holler about how unfair it is, how somehow it’s the “deep state” all coordinating together, how all the Republican witnesses were secretly Democrats all along… Just generally getting more and more unhinged as you watch your demented orange shit-gibbon messiah face the consequences of his actions.

            Meanwhile, you’ll privately be worrying that the mountains of evidence presented by the prosecution in each of the four different cases is absolutely damning. You’ll strive with all your might to ignore the little voice in your head whispering “he’s guilty,” because you don’t want it to be true. After all, if its true, then the way you’ve invested every iota of your being into your Identity as a Trump supporter is all just wasted. And you can’t stand that.

            So you’ll buy into every cockamamie defense his “lawyers” (for lack of a better word) come up with. First amendment? Shit, who hasn’t called the Georgia secretary of state and demanded he manufacturer extra votes? Can’t imprison a man for that! Presidential Records Act? Sure, why the fuck not? Every document created by the government is a presidential record, right? Right?

            When the day finally comes, and he’s inevitably found guilty, it’s going to hurt you even more. That day it’ll feel like you’ve been imprisoned, because so much of you is invested in him.

            But there’s a way to avoid that. Stop today. Ditch the asshole. He doesn’t deserve your love and adoration. Do it now, and it won’t hurt so bad when the time comes.

              You forgot the best part. When he eventually dies of old age in prison, we’re going to put a hydroelectric generator in his coffin, and it will be able to power a large city off of the torrential quantity of piss that is going to be raining down through it.

                The Democrats did not attempt to overthrow a legally elected government. You can’t “both sides” that.

                    Just a straight-up insane lie. “Peaceful” breaking windows, smearing shit on walls, threatening to hang the VP? “Peaceful” beatings of police officers?

                    You don’t believe that. You don’t. It’s not even debatable. It’s so jaw-droppingly stupid, the idea that anyone who can work a keyboard would actually believe that is laughable.

                    So, two options: You’re throwing everything at the wall to see if anything sticks, exactly the accusation you hurled earlier… Or you’re a troll.

                    Except for breaching police barricades, breaking windows, breaking doors, beating police officers with any and all available objects. Getting people killed.

                    But that’s just on the goon squad side, on the admin side they conspired criminally to submit fraudulent electors and attempted to push Pence beyond his Constitutionally defined role to tabulate the electors for the 2020 election.

                    That’s, in large part, what the indictments in D.C. and Georgia are all about.

                    There is no Democratic equivalent here. Gore conceded. Clinton conceded.

                    Now, Gore probably should not have. A full recount of Florida showed that no matter how you counted the ballots, Gore actually won. But that was not discovered until after Bush was already installed.

                    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jan/29/uselections2000.usa

                    Clinton has other issues, refusing to acknowledge her own role in her own loss. Going to the heart of coal country and talking about how she wanted to put a bunch of people out of work absolutely killed her in PA. She has never acknowledged that. Same for utterly failing to campaign in states she took for granted like Wisconsin and Michigan.

                    But the key difference here is that I’m free to admit where Democratic candidates fucked up and demand they do better. You will never see that on the Republican side.

            I’m curious why people think Trump is some kind of Emporer capable of doing no wrong now. It amazes me that a guy who habitually lies and refuses to pay people who work for him is considered smart to some people.
