I’ll say the obligatory “Trump’s a criminal and needs to be in prison,” and I mean it, but mostly I just think it’s cool that our page is big enough here to have a megathread.
What gets me is how lowbrow and petty all this is and yet so many people just act like it doesn’t exist. I mean, the universe served up the most obvious villain doing the worst job of criming that I’ve ever seen. I mean his antics are nearly indistinguishable from scooby doo, I’m expecting someone to have a mask pulled off, find out it’s trump who then somehow gets away with it all despite meddling from those kids.
I feel like the entire world has been pranking me specifically to see how long I can believe that my fellow humans are capable of believing this.

stop assuming they’re stupid and start realizing that they see in his corruption a chance to do a little bit of corruption of their own, maybe some political violence, all the absolute worst urges in them. they see in him the real liberty they’ve been seeking: the freedom to harm others and enrich themselves. they claim to believe, but really they’re just relying on the fact that you can’t actually go into their brains and prove that they don’t.
I know right? Everyone keeps calling him a mob boss, but I’d say he’s more the mob boss who’s so fucking stupid, he doesn’t know not to say the quiet part out loud.
The only occupation that could be worse would be a spy that’s too stupid to know not to say the quiet part out loud, so let’s be glad Trump wasn’t charged with… Ooooooh…
The WWE crowd took an interest in national politics. It was inevitable, and the results sadly predictable.
It’ll take a generation for them to get bored with it again and go away, but for now were stuck with them.
(Don’t look them in the eye, it just provokes them.)
I predict a significant number would get bored when Trump either dies or ends up in prison, and can’t get his face in front of news cameras nearly so easily.
Pretty sure if I shared a classified war plan I would get life in prison. Lock him up.
“Vorpious de liporius octo”, the coverup is worse than the crime.
Let’s hope if the crime isn’t enough that his attempts to cover it up are what takes him down.
Republicans didn’t learn a damn thing from Watergate.
Wrong!
They learned they’d never let one of their criminals face punishment ever again. As a result they created FOX News in order to always be able to control the narrative and always muddy the waters.
It has worked brilliantly for them so far. And the only cost has been a complete erosion in the trust of news, complete erosion in civil discourse complete erosion in bi partisanship.
They have taken a metal pipe to democracy’s kneecaps just to make sure their criminals never have to pay any real consequences.
All of this btw is fully documented. I’m sad to say say, but some brilliant minds put a lot of work into establishing and creating fox news… It’s very sad.
It’s kind of like today we have brilliant engineers spending their time fighting ad blockers and shoving ads down people’s throats.
Fox Entertainment.
Remember, they’re not a news source so let’s remind everyone of that every time we mention them.
