What convictions?

Absolutely none. These people are rabid in their wrongness, and are incapable of any rational thought. Just a constant drone of “orangemanbad” playing over and over in their heads.

Right? People just hate on things that are harmful for no reason. “Orangemanbad” “Carbonemmissionsbad” “Snakevenombad” “Christofascistwannabedictatorbad”

Fukkin snowflakes.

I get that you’re being sarcastic, but you know what? You’ve changed my mind. Trump was as bad as carbon emissions and snake venom. Did you see his followers walking aimlessly in the capital on January 6th? Thank god that rebellion was quelled and we installed the, “better choice” that tangibly made American lives worse to fund a quagmire war in Ukraine. Then, after a complete lack of pushback, because, “at least he’s not literally Hitler,” he went on to hurt our lives even more to commit ACTUAL genocide in Gaza, using American livelihood to fund it,

But you know, nobody on his “team” dressed up in a bear skin and larped around a defunct government building. So, you know, he’s the good guy.

He himself has one conviction (civil, not criminal) so far, for sexual assault on E. Jean Carroll.

The people around him (Bannon, Manafort, Flynn, Weisselberg, etc.) have many convictions, including guilty pleas. If you include the January 6th insurrection, hundreds of them.

And to think only a few decades ago, Bill Clinton was nearly impeached for receiving extramarital oral sex and lying about it, all the while the general public not knowing he palled around with Jeffrey Epstein…ah, simpler, dumber, but still monstrous times.

The same way Trump palled around with Epstein?

One of Trumps major talking points in the 2016 election was Bill Clinton was a disgraced president because he was impeached. He even hauled around Juanita Broaddrick to stick it to, checks notes, Hillary?

Such a fucking scum bag. Of course those accusations are credible but his are completely different.

Important note, it did not meet the legal definition of rape for NY because they define it specifically with sexual intercourse. In common terms however we’d of course call it rape.

The problem with democracy is that most people are ignorant …

edit: changed retarded to ignorant, I apologize to anyone who felt offended by my use of the term.

It drives me nuts that people just casually toss out that slur.

English has so many other words you can use without insulting a whole group of innocent people and using this slur is just lazy.

Arrr…

insulting a whole group of innocent people

What innocent people are being insulted? The euphemism treadmill has ensured nobody is being legitimately described this way anymore, it is just an insult. Btw, idiot and stupid both used to be the correct medical terms for unusually slow mental development, it’s just a matter of how much time has passed.

Ignorant or stupid is what I’m assuming you’re going for but it’s your comment so I’m not sure.

Chapeau! That is in fact the video I had in mind when I wrote my original comment. However, I was informed that the choice of words is considered offensive nowadays, so I changed it because it was not my intention to hurt anybody’s feeling.

Yeah Trump is all that, but so is everyone else. Everyone lies to convince everyone else their share should be bigger.

I mean, every single group mentioned has proven not to be trusted. You think the history books just coincidentally happen to all be written by the good guys? There’s that one time the smart people marketed this safe and effective diet pill. FDA approved. Yeah, turns out it killed you. And then, orange guy.

Also, you seem to be the kind of guy that likes to be completely accurate in the ideas you present, so I believe the word you’re looking for is “charges”. There have been no convictions.

His co-conspirators have absolutely been convicted. People have been imprisoned for doing his bidding.

And not just the crazies he sent to the Capitol. Michael Cohen did 3 years for following Trump’s orders regarding Stormy Daniels, and now Trump himself is on trial for the same crime and Cohen is cooperating after serving his time.

Who DO you trust? Its not sustainable for very long to distrust everyone. Some people are not bad.

What’s the ballpark figure on the sustainability? Two, maybe three decades? I’m not seeing any slowdown.

You take for granted so much the FDA protects you from. You have no idea how much red tape there is to get a drug approved. I don’t know what diet pill you’re thinking of, but most are supplements and aren’t approved by the FDA. There are only a half dozen or so long term weight loss drugs approved by the FDA.
