onecaliberalTHEY AREN'T INDICTING HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS CAMPAIGN, HE'S CAMPAIGNING IN THE MIDDLE OF
THEIR INDICTMENTS.
THEIR INDICTMENTS.
Miles Offit... 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦@Tbsa The Trump Doctrine™: Ensure that your crime spree is so expansive that those trying to hold you accountable turn you into the victim that you need to be.
@dcdeejay The defendant is a murderer, a rapist, a traitor, a serial liar and an evil pos. He should NEVER have been allowed within a thousand square miles of democracy.
(moved)Galbinus Caeli 🌯@Tbsa campaigning is the optional action here. He can always run for office when the trials are over.
@SkipHuffman He forced the DOJ by announcing a run historically early to avoid consequences for trying to overthrow the government.
@Tbsa which is irrelevant here. The requirements of the court in his trial supercede any personal activities he might have chosen to engage in. After the trial finishes he can run for any office he chooses, that he is qualified for. There will be another presidential election in four years. He suffers minimal harm in waiting.
Mike@Tbsa Rock!
Kid Mania...and his supporters still don't care. In fact he's the front runner of the GOP, and running neck to neck in polls with Biden.
☠️
@clintruin The polls are a joke.
@Tbsa
True. It is difficult to take them seriously. Remember when they said Hillary was gonna win...?

@clintruin Or when trump killed a million of his voters with COVID and is still killing them 3 years on. This isn’t 2016 and women are pissed.
@Tbsa
I pray you're right. I worry you're wrong.

@Tbsa Good point!!

Cykonot@Tbsa law & order in 8 steps;
Step 1: delay case with legal spam
Step 2: use the legal buildup you made to justify delaying every case (dealing with them all at once would be UNFAIR)
Step 3: run for office
Step 4: use fact you're running for office to delay.
Step 5: explain trials by saying doj politically targeting you for being "the peoples oligarch"
Step 6: say you'll pardon allies and punish anyone who "comes after" you
Step 7: say witness tampering 1st amendment
Step 8: repeat
@Tbsa Republicans make circular dialogues, where they respond to each argument with a new falsehood, the debunking of which eventually leads back to their initial lie. This creates the illusion of a reasonable disagreement, while preventing any resolution and -- critically -- allowing them to control the framing / narrative.
A gish-gallop which feeds into itself, fracturing reality and debasing objective facts as if they were simply opinions. "Race realists" "climate skeptics" etc
@Tbsa they create a sort of semantic tautology, obfuscating the internal contradictions with a bigoted flattery few can resist.
The world is complicated. Justice does not always feel good. You must break their framing in order to break the cycle. Ridicule their myopia and force the conversation back to reality. Resist capitalist morality and the prosperity gospel they inevitably return to.
@Tbsa They can't state the conclusions of their arguments, because they could be negated. Rather than say "black people deserve to be slaves because they are inferior," they point to unequal results while they make accurate history illegal and preach the prosperity gospel.
In sociology wealth is heritable, but they use the biology definition of "heritable" to interpret sociology results as an ego-boosting dogwhistle. different disciplines have different definitions!
"Do ur own research" 🙄

Section three of the fourteenth amendment disqualifies Trump!

This is intriguing. Can we just do this, please? https://secondnexus.com/conservative-scholars-trump-14th-amendment?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

@Tbsa it's called "campaigning while criminal"
RowinSpeez@Tbsa exactly that, his candidacy should be a moot point but republicans are fucking cowards and didn’t remove him from office and bar him from ever running again. They chose this, and trump took the opportunity.
jprestonian@Tbsa

@Tbsa you can run for president from jail iirc

Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@YetAnotherGeekGuy @avrin @Tbsa ... and does that need to be proved in court, and/or has it been, and/or can it be before the election?
@TimWardCam @YetAnotherGeekGuy @avrin This is the million dollars question. He was impeached for it.
Kevin Leecaster@Tbsa @TimWardCam @YetAnotherGeekGuy @avrin
If we accept that the aiding and abetting of insurrection doesn't require some objective means of determination than they'll try to assert that Biden and Harris have done it and are in violation of the 14th amendment and can be kept off of ballots.

@YetAnotherGeekGuy @avrin Which he is.
@YetAnotherGeekGuy @Tbsa I wasn't even aware of this clause. has he been officially found responsible for the insurrection though? or is that what the indictments are covering? I know I should be more aware but god it's tiring
@avrin @YetAnotherGeekGuy All the people convicted of it to date, testified that they took action on behalf of the president. Because trump wanted them to.
@Tbsa @YetAnotherGeekGuy lmao good
Karel@Tbsa It would be impossible for the two not to intersect since he's been campaigning continuously for the past eight years and intends to keep campaigning continuously for the rest of his life.
Mark W. Alexander@Tbsa
HE'S NOT DEFENDING HIMSELF, HE'S FLOODING THE ZONE WITH SHIT TO CON PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING THE ACTUAL FACTS OF ALL THE INDICTMENTS ARE BULLSHIT.
BECAUSE ANYONE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE *HIS* BULLSHIT WILL ALL WANT TO SEE HIM SENT TO PRISON.
AND, RIGHT NOW, THAT'S ~60% OF VOTERS.
HE'S ONLY GONNA GET LOUDER AND MORE OUTRAGEOUS.
Doreen32128 ready to rumble!@AnonymooseGuy @Tbsa Absolutely right!
busticated@Tbsa IN LARGE PART B/C HE SLOW-WALKED AND SANDBAGGED INVESTIGATORS THIS WHOLE TIME
@busticated To be fair it was us who waited 2 years to begin investigating.
@billclassified@Tbsa Great stuff!
