With just days to go before his first — and likely only — debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump posted a warning on his social media site threatening to jail those “involved in unscrupulous behavior” this election, which he said would be under intense scrutiny.
“WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump wrote, again sowing doubt about the integrity of the election, even though cheating is incredibly rare.
“Please beware,” he went on, “that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
When did Presidential power start to include the power to jail whoever you want? Why does anyone even imagine that might be an ok situation?
I lost any general respect for nearly half of my fellow citizens in 2016, it hasnt improved a lot since.
I lost respect for them when George W sent 4k American youths to their death for oil. Destroyed the Middle East. And killed countless middle easterners. His VP made hundreds of millions a of dollars while in office assisting in this destruction.
And they reelected him cause the other guy might have changed his opinion about things.
They both have the same goals
Absolutely unadulterated bullshit. You either have no clue what you’re talking about or you are a foreign operative here intentionally trying to undermine democracy. GTFO!
Let me ask you a question, what’s keeping you from running and winning the presidency?
I mean, outside of political experience.
I’ll answer for you: you don’t have the backing of billionaires to fund your campaign.
You don’t get to be a viable candidate for president in the US if you don’t promise to kowtow to the oligarchy. Everything else is window dressing.
Yes, some are worse than others. But the bottom line is that all of them prioritize the interests of the oligarchs over the interests of the people.

Shallow understanding, a lack of reasoning, and false dichotomy won’t get you far as a programmer. You’ll stagnate in the exploitation stage.
