Truly very funny that the was permitted to be in the running at all. Even if they weren't going to put him in prison, a little slap on the hand like barring him from running would have made sense

they should have impeached him jan 7th to prevent it when they could muster the political willpower to do it and actually get a few republicans on board but that ship sailed so fast
as far as any can guess impeaching a former president is totally fine. impeachment is just a political trial to remover from office AND prevent re-election
I find it amazing how other party voters have handled this versus how his voters handled losing.
Yeah the dems really did just hand over power voluntarily to a guy they have spent the past like 10 years painting as an authoritarian dictator who will destroy america.
after 4 years of pandering to right wing conservatives and reactionaries by aligning the party with the oldest, pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison and anti-immigrant democrat still alive and marginalize/demobilize the anti-genocide portion of the coalition.... its finally time to heal the nation and come together to work with a very different pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison, anti-immigrant that we spent the last 4 years insisting was the reason we had to sell everyone out to prevent from staying in power.
4 years? theyve been pandering to the right for decades
obama wasn't the oldest, pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison and anti-immigrant democrat alive. he was the youngest. hillary was the most girlboss, and kamala was the most californian. these are all massively different conservative/reactionary pandering flavors.
over the decades, the democrats have tried every flavor of pro-war, pro-cop, pro-prison and anti-immigrant pandering there is! what more do you people want?!
I’d have thought anyone, literally anyone could have beaten him.
Preferable someone who will actually do something for Palestine and its people.
That was true 4 years ago but the libs kept crying wolf while committing genocide for over a year and alienated people they needed to win
What, so people voted for other parties? That makes sense if true.
a small fraction, but most of them just stayed home
I know i did 
they didn't even go after him for the Jan6 shit, they went after him for giving hush money to a stripper
You don't understand. They had to concentrate on fringe inconsequential technicalities because that's what big book of rules said to do. They needed to follow all the rules to build an ironclad case to maintain the legitimacy of the judicial system. Because the rules. Otherwise there might be some sort of crisis of legitimacy. Like when a bunch of frothing chuds stormed the building in a failed coup and they slow walked the reaction to it, thus proving the impotence of the rule followers.
Welcome home, Cheeto
It's funny how your entire government and the way it conducts itself can change every 5 years
Does it really though? It seems more like Republicans and Republican-enablers that pretend to be concerned about the fascism they enable
I mean, all the executive orders and the US withdrawing from international organizations
