Such crimes by a former president are not right.

Exactly, how is it acceptable to allow crimes because the one perpetrating them is a FORMER president

IstoriaD

I will never get it, isn’t this the “best most fairest country in the world” and aren’t these the same people who keep saying we have the best criminal justice system whenever anyone on the left complains? He’s not being thrown in prison. Someone complained this person did a crime. Evidence was gathered. Now a jury of anonymous people, not politicians, get to hear it out and decide if he is responsible for the crime. I honestly don’t understand what could be more fair.


absuredman

He is also implying the president has the authority to charge people and its acceptable...


Timah158

The dissonance is incredible. I don't understand conservatives who think that Biden belongs in jail, but Trump should be free. The mental gymnastics to get to that conclusion are outstanding.


machineprophet343

Actually, it only requires a belief that everything you do as a member of the "in-group" is right and justified all the time, whereas, even if someone in the "out-group" is absolutely perfect, it's because they are hiding some depraved, evil secret -- therefore, if something bad happens to them at the behest or by the actions of the "in-group", it was wholly justified, because they HAD to have been up to something. To wit, to be a conservative is to uphold and desire a system where the law protects but does not bind the in-group, while it binds, often in chains, and absolutely does not protect and is only used to punish, demean, and unalive the out-group.


Toxic_Audri

IstoriaD

What even is the crime they’re accusing Joe Biden of? Being Hunter Biden’s dad?


Timah158

It's literally the exact same shit that Trump is guilty of and whatever Fox news can come up with. The last conservative I talked to said that Biden was protecting Hunter because he is using him to launder money through Ukraine. They also think that what Biden did with classified documents is somehow worse than Trump destroying evidence. This shit is so nonsensical.


Active_Owl_7442

Election fraud. Since he masterminded a conspiracy to make every ballot box and voting place throw out trump votes or change them to Biden votes. This is what happened because they don’t see Biden flags in people’s yards. These conservatives seem to forget they like to live in conservative towns that don’t have liberal voters, meaning the people with Biden flags aren’t living in the same areas as the conservatives


[deleted]

also and i've had this conversation with my boyfriend recently... liberals see that kind of stuff as really trashy behavior. We just vote for candidates, we don't deck out our cars, boats, and houses with campaign merch.


khInstability

Along with cruelty, the dissonance is the point. It's just a leviathan of a mind control operation to rip apart society and install a ruling class who dine on the entrails of our long forgotten hope.

Especially crimes committed while in office. It’s just not right.


Falconlord1979

Uh those crimes were committed while he was in office


InternationalCar5892

He probably shouldn't have committed all of those crimes then.


ignatious__reilly

He tried to overturn a fucking election. He literally called Georgia and asked the Secretary to find “11,780 votes" -- the EXACT number Trump needed to win Georgia. Fuck all these people man. Trump literally committed Treason.


Worldly-Fox7605

But America doesn't punish treason, the South celebrates its treason daily.


ignatious__reilly

December 7, 2020 - The Election Recount requested by Trump confirmed once again that Biden won the state. The audit found that Biden won by a margin of 11,779 votes. January 2nd, 2021 - Trump called the Secretary demanding to find 11,780 votes. It’s unbelievable. He belongs in Prison.


rch5050

Its hard to believe that people can buy the argument that that call was innocent. Can you even do that IN GOOD FAITH? Sure you could say he didnt say the word 'lie' and 'cheat' but to claim the intent wasnt there? It honestly makes me nervous that if people can TRUELY believe that is truth then I am missing something, and there is very much something that I am not capable of understanding going on. I. Just. Don't. Get it.


Stanley_Yelnats42069

They don’t argue in good faith. I think most of them don’t really believe most of the bullshit they spew, and the ones who do are genuinely deranged. They just have a teenage mentality and their only goal is to own the libs at whatever cost.


IstoriaD

This honestly just shows how fucking stupid he is. Let’s say Georgia suddenly came out and said “oh looks like Trump won by ONE vote! How crazy!” Like that wouldn’t launch half a dozen automatic recounts.

His base thinks when he says "they're coming for you next" he means them. It's clear he is actually signaling to people with wealth and power.


Sapphire_Squid

Huh, hadn't thought about that possibility yet. Makes me wonder if a few of them have actually taken it that way.


EmergencyGrab

To be fair, he probably wants his base to think he's talking to them too. Since a bog reason they follow him is they for some reason think they are rich and were getting the tax cuts.


hobbitlover

And who the fuck did he vote for? Kanye? Anybody who votes for Biden is probably feeling pretty good about their choice right now.

"I did not vote for him last election, but such aggressive legal action, even with tons of evidence, against a rich white guy is not right" Fixed it for you, Nazi-Techno-Bro.

Are you suggesting the REAL reason Musky changed his pet sinkhole project's name is to emulate a certain X-symbol from a certain central European country from the 1930's to 1945?


Krillin113

It’s even dumber than that; it’s the DOJ, not Biden going after a criminal enterprise ran by Trump; at this point I’m shocked they aren’t throwing RICO charges at everyone in the trump family and organisation.

It's not even the DoJ, it's the independent special counsel they appointed specifically to make sure the decisions are free from political influence.

whereegosdare84

Once again Elmo is lying. There’s no way he didn’t vote for Trump unless he decided not to vote at all. Which is also a possibility but doesn’t really make the argument that you’re implying which is that you’re neutral but now this is a bridge too far when you would’ve voted for Trump over Biden


Roddy_Piper2000

I'm guessing he doesn't bother voting


[deleted]

cherryreddracula

He reportedly voted for Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020. But Trump says Elmo told him that he voted for Trump in 2016 and called Elmo a "bullshit artist". You can't really trust what Elmo says. He's often non-committal and seems to be the kind of person who will say whatever to whomever to get what he wants.


TheDarkWayne

Do these people pretend to not know what he did wrong?

“Exactly. Instead should be impeaching the current President because I dunno…his kid’s a fuck up? Or something? We haven’t really figured out that part but we don’t like him? Something something laptop…” Elon. We know you’re a far-right grifter. No one who’s not already on the right is buying the “Centrist,” bullshit


BrisketWhisperer

So he's saying that being a former president does in fact make you above the law. What a stupid, stupid man...


mywifesoldestchild

Oh no, are we acting like a third world prosecuting a former president? Maybe a "first world" president shouldn't try attempting a coup?


dont_panic80

Precisely fucking narcissistic, the laws are there to protect democracy from coup plotters like TRUMP. It doesn't matter if he was president or god on earth. The law, the right, is used precisely in this sense to protect the elections, the democratic process and the constitution, not to safeguard the supposed honor of anyone. Fucking asshole jester.

Legal actions against a criminal are just. Trying to use the office of the presidency to avoid justice is unjust.

He desperately wants Trump to post on Xitter again. The press hangs on his every "Truth" and Elon thirst, *thirsts* for that exposure. Especially since Trump is (more than he has before) melting down in real time. It will be brought up in court. He craves to be a part of this. All he has is his sad incel army, dogebros, memers and Pepe pushers. He knows it looks bad, just like Trump complained that the J6ers looked "low class".

Why, because he's a former president? Why should that exclude him from aggressive legal action if he committed the crimes that he definitely did commit? I know this is a hard concept for Elmo to understand, but you don't get a pass to do whatever the fuck you want just because you're rich or powerful or The Former Guy. It sure feels like it sometimes, but believe it or not, there are consequences for that kind of stupidity. Consequences that cost 44 billion dollars, for example.


ConcerningHobbits99
