'It's very possible': Trump floats imprisoning his political opponents
'It's very possible': Trump floats imprisoning his political opponents
Discussing his guilty verdict, Trump said his opponents were going down a "terrible path."
You're viewing a single thread.
He already told Hillary to her face he was going to prosecute her and send her to prison. Then when he was in office he backed down immediately.
Let's not gloss over something important, Trump did try to get Hillary locked up. He had his justice department investigate her and the Clinton foundation both. They couldn't find evidence of crimes, so Hillary remains free.
Where Trump backed down was not going extra-judicial. But let's not let him off the hook, he tried, he's a despot.
He also hadn’t replaced the entire Justice department with MAGA lackeys like he did the Supreme Court and federal court system.
And his cronies are still harping on it. There are people in positions of power, with money and influence, who are still trying to do everything to put Fuckface 45's "enemies" away.
The coup marches on.
Heres a video of him saying “that plays great before the election. Now we don’t care”
Sorry for the Facebook link!
Yes, but he’s vindictive, and Hillary was more of an obstacle than a threat.
Trump appointed 226 judges in just his first term. The only President in history to have appointed more in one term was Carter with 262. The most appointed in two terms was Reagan with 383. Trump is well over half way there.
With increased likelihood of getting one of his appointed judges, and conservative control of SCOTUS, this is a viable threat.
”I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of America, Joe Biden, and go after the Biden crime family,” Trump said in June at his Bedminster, New Jersey, residence, just hours after being arraigned at a federal courthouse in Miami on charges related to his handling of classified documents after he left the White House.
But Trump credited himself for not going after Clinton, compared to what is now being done to him.
“Some people said I should have done it, but, you know, could have, would have been very easy to do it, but I thought it would be a terrible precedent for our country,” Trump said. “And now, whoever it may be, you’re going to have to view it very much differently. This is a bad, bad road that they’re leading us down to as a country."
He won’t do it cause if he wins, Biden won’t be a threat. It would be a waste of time and energy for something nobody would actually care about at that point.
Yeah but you're forgetting that Biden beat him. That fact alone changes the equation massively I think. Trump will delight in pushing Biden into the mud face down.
Because that's what you do for each other when you're in the same club
trump has spent his entire life trying to buy his way into the club. But he couldn't.
He was able to donate enough to Dems to get Bill and Hillary to his wedding.
But you can tell he legitimately thought if he did the "no time to divide the country" in 2020, that he'd get the same treatment.
That's why he's going so hard on "this isn't fair".
He didn't actually try to press charges on Hillary for her crimes (yes, they were a minor felony and misdemeanors, but still crimes). So he doesn't understand why he's got trials for his crimes (obviously they're much bigger crimes)
trump thought being a president finally got him into the club, it's probably the only reason he wanted to be president.
Since it didn't work, he's not going to drum up charges on everyone he disagrees with.
Which is why it makes zero sense Biden keeps pissing off his own voters. You'd think he'd be motivated to win when Trump will try to throw him and his whole family in jail.
But Biden won't stop denying genocide and making republican moves at the border, both of which violate laws and human rights.
He's got more to lose than anyone this election, and he refuses to act like it for some reason
God doesn't this pathetic bOtH sIdEs schtick ever get as tiring to spout as it is to read?
But you see.
He has a new trick.
Each sentence is a paragraph.
Makes it profound huh.
Fair enough! I stand corrected
Fair enough!
I stand corrected
FTFY
Bad, Bad haiku bot! lol
Is there a haiku bot on lemmy?
it makes it a Beat Poem.
God the mental gymnastics are insane to keep up this bOtHsiDeSSaMe.
It becomes much simpler if you stop questioning it.
A post that had nothing to do with Biden, and yet you still bring him up.
Is this meant to make me... Givesomefucks about Trump?
Because it doesn't. He's a blatant criminal. He deserves everything they throw at him.
