    Trump’s rivals sure bring out the dullest knives against him.

    Are they all angling to be Vice President?

      pretty sure… he picks his VP’s based on who gives the best head.

      pence was… surprising.

      They’re in such a bind that they don’t like him but can’t publicly criticize him lest they anger his rabid fanbase and tank their own stock come elections.

    Why, for inexplicable reason it doesn’t bar him from being president. Hell, I don’t think an inevitable conviction would do it either. He’s raking in the money, why would he stop?

      I feel like a conviction from the espionage act should absolutely bar you from holding public office. It shouldn’t be up to Congress to disqualify someone. Especially when the GOP would rather dive into full fascism before helping anyone who isn’t a billionaire.

        Republicans win 2024, immediately convict the top 10 Dem candidates for “espionage”.

      It’s frustrating, but imagine how, if it were otherwise, trumped-up charges with convictions in favorable jurisdictions and courts would be used by opposing administrations.

      That judge in the 5th Circuit in Texas who keeps issuing abortion and contraception rulings would happily railroad Biden for a Trump DOJ.

    GOP is a party of principles, and the first principle is that GOP candidates can’t have more than 2 pending criminal cases against them.

    Anything else is just communism.
