I’m genuinely baffled. Are people really okay with a former president removing classified documents from the White House, refusing to return them when asked, and then lying to the government about their existence?
Let’s not forget: he didn’t just withhold the documents—he actively hid them from a court-ordered search team. This wasn’t some innocent mistake. This was deliberate obstruction of justice. And after all of that, he claims to be the victim?
How is this acceptable? Is the argument that he somehow had the right to unilaterally take classified materials, lie to federal authorities about them, and obstruct a lawful investigation?
And no, this is not like the Biden documents case. President Biden’s team voluntarily disclosed the discovery of documents, immediately notified authorities, and cooperated fully with the National Archives and the Department of Justice. There was no lying, no hiding, and no obstructing a lawful investigation. Comparing the two is like comparing night and day—they’re not even in the same galaxy of wrongdoing.
Let’s be clear about the stakes here. Mishandling classified documents risks national security. Obstructing efforts to recover them undermines the rule of law. If anyone else had done this—if a member of the military, a government employee, or even another elected official had behaved this way—they’d already be behind bars.
So, which is it? Do people believe Trump was above the law, entitled to break it at will? Or do they simply not care about the dangers and dishonesty his actions represent?
It’s hard to see a third option here—and the implications for justice and accountability couldn’t be more serious.
@JoJoFromJerz If Satan himself crawled up out of hell and said he was a Republican, the GOP would be, "He's alright by us. He is so misunderstood. Witch hunt!"
@realTuckFrumper Well aren't they stupid? He literally said that he wanted Netanyahu to wipe them out. He tried to implement a fucking Muslim ban. Fuck Trump, and fuck them for voting for him.
@JoJoFromJerz I mean, that is exactly what you do when your buddy buys the frigging bank. Corruption and greed are cornerstones of the modern American GOP. I'm sure Donny can empathize, after hanging with Epstein. Pussy grabbers flock together.
If you’re more upset about us calling Trump a fascist than you are about Trump acting like a fascist, talking like a fascist, praising other fascists and promising to rule our country like a fascist, congratulations - you are an idiot and an asshole and you’re in a fucking cult.
@JoJoFromJerz Notice how much they do NOT get over it when THEY are the subject of the joke. But it's all totally fine when they are the ones punching down at others.
