Any Accountability At All Commission
The third political party in the US should be The Woodchipper. You don’t vote for candidates, just The Woodchipper. If The Woodchipper gets the majority of votes, all the candidates on the ticket get tossed in a fucking woodchipper and we start the election over with new candidates.
This fixes our problems, in a uniquely American way.
I remember hoping that Obama would prosecute Bush for all of his crimes, in hindsight it was really naive.
Is lying about “weapons of mass destruction” in order to convince the country to invade another so the dickbag trio could get more wealthy legal? Cheney, Rumsfield and Bush agree I guess.
Free speech and all would make lying legal, so I guess you’re right… Lawful evil it is then :/
Trump is just a Captain Planet villain cosplayer.
FTFY.
Trump is simply not competent enough and never has been.
Bush wasn’t evil. He was a good man but in over his head. His entire cabinet was evil men that knew exactly what they were doing and they largely called all the shots
I don’t want Trump to win because he’s more likely to create a “presidential crimes commission” full of political appointees going after the other party.
We have the legal system, if there are crimes they should be charged. The answer is not some additional political tribunal.
Judge shopping and legislation via court ruling have called into question the fairness and legitimacy of a once ironclad judicial system. It’s being gamed right now by the wealthy and powerful to get what they want.
Then the answer is fixing those issues. Saying the system isn’t working so we need to ignore it and build out a new system purpose built to prosecute my political opponents is like definitional fascism. We don’t need a strong man to fix everything extrajudicially, we just need the law applied fairly.
Creating a Department dedicated entirely to Justice.
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?”
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.
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
Yes, that’s where the original quote comes from.
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
