    Because he’s right wing? This isn’t that complicated. People only get killed for actually threatening the gravy train. If this were another country the US would have backed the coup. Im still not convinced this will end with anything more serious than Trump getting a vacation in rich people jail.

      Trump getting a vacation in rich people jail.

      You’ve got pretty high hopes for the land of the greed.

      I think he will never set foot in jail, the u.s government won’t allow it. He’ll be pardoned, or at the very best he’ll be convicted but will spend the rest of his life appealing, until he dies by big Mac overdose

    Which is exactly why I know the whole “Clintons murdering people” is a conspiracy.

      What train of logic led from “Trump is still alive” to “the Clintons must be murdering people”?

        I believe what they mean is “If the Clintons really are having people killed then what the fuck is Trumpleton doing still walking around?” And seriously, if anything righties cook up in their fear-addled minds was remotely true there’d be so many more dead people in both the citizenry and amongst politicians.

          They said that they know it’s a conspiracy, which means they believe that it’s happening.

            I think the word ‘conspiracy’ here is being conflated to mean ‘ridiculous, and false, conspiracy theory’. Conspiracies happen, but the word itself has the association with those who theorize and speculate on the absurd. I can say I don’t know for sure what the original commenter meant, but I think it is implied they meant they ‘know the Clinton’s murdering people isn’t true’.

        I think they mean that if the Clintons were actually murderers, trump wouldn’t be alive post-coup attempt.

        I think they mean that if it were actually true and Republicans could prove it the Clintons would be dead? Not sure it’s a little hard to parse.

      That isnt good reasoning. It is a big club and you’re not in it, Clinton and Trump knew each other.

    Unfortunately America is way too concerned with decorum in order to actually follow the rule of law. There is this idea that if we just simply pretend that everything is fine and that are enemies simply have different ideas instead of actively Desiring our debts, that everything will work itself out in the end.

    If we had a functioning government that actually gave a shit about criminal justice and stamping out corruption, they would have slapped the cuffs on Donald Trump on January 6th, and his public hanging would have been a ratings extravaganza.

    I am not advocating for violence against Donald trump, I merely stating that our constitution says that if a president refuses to give up power or behaves in a treasonous manner, hanging is how you deal with that.

    Tell me you’re a white, racist bigot without telling me you’re a white, racist bigot. Edit: Oh yes downvote me that will change the fact that you’re a white, racist bigot.
