34 felony counts
The historic ruling did not stop him from returning to the White House, and it brought no punishment.
The absolute joke that is "rule of law."
Rape, pedophilia, genital obsession, treason, insurrection, pathological lying, cowardice....

Don't forget a stated interest in committing incest with his daughter
The lack of punishment is ridiculous.
The ability to be elected to office even with felony convictions is a safeguard. If you were barred from office if you had a felony, then this government would just keep charging everyone it hated with felonies, hoping either for a conviction, the person to go bankrupt and give up, or create enough smoke that the potential constituents don't vote for them.
I mean, you know Ken Paxton would've had Talarico and O'Rourke up on charges, and enough Texans are Fox addicts that they'd have either eventually gotten a conviction for something or at least discouraged people from voting from them. And you know Trump would be relentlessly going after AOC, Omar, Sanders, Mamdani, etc.
Founding Fathers- "do we add some clarity? Naahh that would never happen"
Quarter milennia later "Well now see here there ain't nothin on these books sayin we can't elect a felon rapist to the highest office"
I get the whole being elected thing being ok, it's the no punishment thing that really pisses me off. Any one of us would have the book thrown at us...
There is something to be said about a tyrannical government charging people with felonies to prevent them from being eligible to be president, so as long as the people still vote for them I guess it's ok. But as far as the law goes, wtf is the point of a felony if there are no repercussions? I go to jail or face fines but Donnie two diapers doesn't because he's rich, famous, and has a cult?
i think you meant quarter milennia, as a quarter century is 25 years
D'oh. Fixd
"Quarter millennium"?
Bruh just commit sepuku on live tv already. You know you want to Donnie.
Code of honor, him?
Bud Dwyer beat him to it, his ego won’t let him go second
Yeah, but I don't think he can produce a time machine by EO.
