Trump asks court to delay setting trial date in documents case | CNN Politics - LemmyWorld

How can someone vote on a person who literally is being tried for a crime? What in the world have we become?

What in the world have we become?

I in no way mean this to defend Trump, but being tried for a crime does not mean one is guilty of a crime. And at a very (very) abstract level, even being guilty of a crime does not make a person necessarily unfit for office.

I know you’re right. It just feels bad taking the high road when the accused has demonstrated he is manifestly unfit for office while also caught dead to rights under a mountain of publicly known evidence which includes his own admission of guilt.

In his case, he's been a turd in society's punchbowl for 50 years.

There's mountains of court records, poor business decisions, and proven malfeasance... and that's not counting two impeachments.

No accounting for taste, I suppose.
