Cop literally wants a convicted felon to run the country, I can’t come up with a better satire for how little police care about rule of law… Or a better argument for the “Ban the Box” initiative

I’m definitely all for loosening restrictions on former felons… Look bro, if we can have a convicted felon running for office, no reason why they can’t vote or hold jobs if they’ve done their time right?

to be fair, he was attempting satire – he is ‘switching sides’ and now wants a felon to run the country.

They’re so bad at everything lol WOOSH on satire

Holy shit, he actually said that.

This, right here, is a prime example of a political headline that looks like it comes from The Onion.

Look, I’m all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I’m not thinking the next step here is to “recently convicted felon”. Maybe try for a woman as president first?

Just saying.

There’s a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on “first felon president.”

  • First Woman President

  • First Openly Gay President

  • First Asian/Pacific Islander President

  • First Albino President

  • First Teenage President

  • First Werewolf President

  • First Teenage Werewolf President

  • First Robot President

  • First Robot Teenage Werewolf President

  • First Normal President

We could go on and on too.

The gnostics wouldn’t accept any president. I’m expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.

This reminds me of one of those furries who always has to interject in any role playing situation that they’re furries and their character is a furry despite nobody in the gaming session actually asking or encouraging that person.

Under the same logic, wouldn’t Biden also be ineligible because he was also in the white house (as vp) for 8 years?

You have a curious definition of “strong argument”.
