    Biden can’t do those things. Trump did some of them to himself, but Biden can’t.

      Biden has done every one of these things already, and way, way more. That’s why I wrote this post in that way, so people might make the connection.

        I’m sorry to say someone lied to you, it’s really unfortunate. Biden cannot do the things you say due to seperation of powers, Trump ended up getting himself into those situations through his own actions.

        Be better than the person who lied to you about this stuff, stop spreading their lies.

          You think Trumps mugshot (him in jail) was not politically motivated? You think the legal fines and all that time in court is not politically motivated or simply to keep him away from the campaign trail? You don’t think they will do everything to “disqualify” him, this includes kicking him off the ballot? You don’t think cnn, msnbc, nyt, wapo writes hit pieces, are politically motivated?

          It would be nice to be as oblivious as you.

            I know it’s hard to accept that people you trust have been telling you lies, but once you consider it you’ll recognize the simplest explanation is that Trump did those things to himself, by committing the actions he was accused of, and he is being treated like anyone else would be in those situations.

            Clearly you’re smart, but someone is treating you like your stupid. Be better than them.

            I think you’re right about them being politically motivated, simply because other politicians have gotten away with far worse than most of what he’s being charged with.

            But lets take a look at some of what he’s not being charged with.

            Trump encouraged the J6 “protesters” to become violent with thinly veiled language. I watched it happen in real time.

            He refused to denounce political extremists, instead asking them to “Stand back and stand by.” I watched that happen live, too.

            He suggested injecting bleach to fight the corona virus. Live.

            He bragged about passing a basic cognitive test by repeating “Man, Woman, Person, Camera, TV” once again, live.

            He let US citizens die by withholding pandemic aid to states that he felt weren’t aligned with him politically.

            I could go on (and on) but I think I’ve made my point.

            I don’t care what the motivations are. Bury the motherfucker.
