What comes around goes around Donnyboy. The next president could do the same to you for treason.

Bold of you to assume there will be a next president.

People who think you're being flippant absolutely do not understand the gravity of what's happening right now.

And remarks like that are defeatist and useless. The only acceptable comments are that I dare a mother fucker to try to become a dictator and overthrow American democracy

The thing is, for that to have teeth there needs to be a credible threat to him. There isn't one right now.

No officially sanctioned punishment will ever come his way other than a fine. Edit oops meant to respond to same person as you

Biden had the chance with the backing of the supreme court and their ruling on "official actions" on top of the already strong legal case, but he didn't because the ruling class sticks together no matter how much they talk about "danger to democracy".

The past has no meaning. We are moving past what already happened and trying to resolve today's issues in the moment. IDC who did what and its time we started getting along and working together to protect what's left of our country and the freedoms we fought wars for. Make the current regime the suckers and the losers and let them argue, not us.

You can't beat fascists by becoming fascist though.

[–] hark 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If you only let fascists make use of power then only fascists will have power. Either way, Biden had the legal justification to pursue it in the courts, even without the supreme court decision, but the useless AG did basically nothing the whole time.
