He. Tried. To. Kill. You.
The “Law and Order” party is now cool with all laws being subject to a popularity contest.
So, the rules matter when they lose to popular vote but win in the Electoral College, but don’t matter when they are arrested?
He’s so damn scared of taking a hard stance on trump. Pathetic, sniveling coward
There is nothing more cowardly than a Republican.
How does Mike Pence have any donors? I mean literally who would give him money? He’s not even trying to win. Clearly he’s not you don’t try to win and then do this for your biggest opponent. I mean most of them aren’t trying to win. This entire Republican primary is basically just a fundraising endeavor to furnish their own private lavish lifestyles.
Does pence know what justice being “left to the people” looks like?
It’s fuckin’ guillotiney, mate.
So, he’s against the constitution then?
In other words: I like the two-tier justice system and see no reason why a traitor shouldnt be president. God what a spineless sycophant.
He’s already persona non grata with MAGA. That ship has sailed, Mike; it’s over the fucking horizon, buddy. TBH, if he’d taken a hard stance and has been saying “yeah, bitch, that’s right, I alone saved democracy and prevented a civil war*, die mad about it”, I’d like him a lot more, I’d even consider him a serious contender for the GOP candidacy. But Mike can’t seem to decide who he is. One day he wakes up and it’s right back to simpering up to Trump and MAGA, and the next day he wakes up and lets MAGA know that he’s got the world’s biggest case of Ligma. Which is it, Mike: are you a crony with a spine that’s weaker than Raditz, or are you a democracy saving, woman avoiding, sigma grinding badass?
*I know that Mike alone didn’t save democracy, but, speaking as someone who’s never voted Republican his whole life, it’s undeniable that Mike played a crucial role in the outcome of J6. It’s one of those few moments in history that really was balanced on the point of a knife and Pence did exactly the right thing by consistently refusing to play ball with these fucks.
Not related to the headline/article, I’d just like to comment on funniness the picture, from left to right: confused disbelief, dismissive disbelief, indignant disbelief. Much furrowing of brows, such concern.
Didnt the American People give themselves a constitution and laws already for this reason?
14th amendment, section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Only the second amendment of the US Constitution counts. Didn’t you know that? Duh.
That not true! Racists also value something that resembles the first amendment, because they think it grants them a platform to be vile.
If the people want to elect a convicted criminal, disqualifying him isnt going to solve the real problem you have
So brave
So a convicted felon can lose their right to vote, but they can still be President. Gottit.
Funny how convicted felons can have their voting rights taken away, but letting a person who tried to sabotage the voting system to win unfairly run for president again? Suuure!
Not only that, but it’s a direct parallel to how the rich have so much more rights than the poor - and the worst part is this guy’s fans ARE dirt poor, some may even be felons, who have no right to vote, some of which probably tried to vote illegally because “owning the libs is what matters”… because again, decentralisation, proper vote count, democratic and parliamentary process, this is all bullshit anyways, so let’s just game the system!
Like you have to be a special kind of stupid - and I don’t mean that in an ableist kind of way, but in a way that this needs to be studied by scientists, because of how absurdly brain-dead it really is.
Like here’s a hint: if you set a political precedent where your guy can do it, what’s to prevent the other guy from doing it? Does MAGA stand for “make America gullible again”?
The worst part about all this is many who stormed the capital had nice businesses, trucks and income. I agree with the need to study this brain-dead disease though. Either our population is more absurdly stupid than is measurable or they all ate lead paint chips as a child.
While Trump is obviously a POS and I’d love for him to be banned from running, not allowing anyone to run for office from prison would set a really dangerous precedent.
It would be because of prison; it would be because of leading an insurrection. These aren’t even close to the same.
