... to be over the moon that Trump has been found GUILTY on all 34 charges?

The US electoral system is not entirely that of a true democracy. Their electoral college system is not based on the majority of the votes. It was originally set up to protect the rights of slave owners and ensure the wealth remains in the hands of the minority. What is being seen now can be said to be the tyranny of the minority.

Both sides have no taste in candidates.

My favorite Biden gaffes are when he reads the teleprompter. As it is.
For example: Today we honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country. Pause.
And he says the word, "Pause".

The other was when he was talking once and was reading the prompter and actually said. "Stop. Repeat."

Then we have our ex-President who opens his mouth and words come out, but it's like a game show trying to figure out what he is saying. Then there were his tornado drawings, Kansas City Chiefs...where and other such epic fails.

I know. But that is democracy after all. As much as it's funny to laugh at them (just talking about myself there), it's incredibly important to get to the bottom of their batshittery. And try to reach out to them in a way they might be receptive to at least. To open a channel for actual debate on policies that actually do exist.

I can hope and pray neither candidate gets a vote? Then maybe Mickey Mouse or Snoopy will win....both better choices.

Me-I will write myself in for my vote because my conscience won't allow me to vote for the "lesser of two weevils" any longer. Or maybe go with Mickey since Minnie would be quite the fashionable first mouselady.

when trump wins the election, the culpability will lie just as much with the Democrats for not getting a proper candidate in place

misinformation is more dangerous than ignorance

it is indeed, until I realise that the votes of these people count the same as those of sane, normal people

and there are plenty similar on this side of the Atlantic too

.

That's an insult to 8 year olds tbh. He is like someone who was fashioned by aliens as their best guess of what humans are like. I keep thinking there must be something there that I'm not seeing, but I've never once seen anything that convinced me otherwise. If it has in fact all been some sort of act, someone give him an Olivier Award or something.

Not sure why A: a criminal, scuzbucket and azzhat have a line through them, as they should not. At all. Ever. It must have been the -- after the A and B that caused it. Oops!

Sorry.

I cannot stand Trump. That started way, way back when he had that stupid TV show. Never watched it, but the commercials were way too irritating. He confuses scruples for scabies and is proud of not having any.

That said, I find it quite humorous when I see Trump flayed alive for paying off Stormy Daniels and lying about it, yet excuse Clinton, who suborned perjury, among his many sins. Trump will be tried for inciting the Capitol uprising, but people scoff at taking seriously the things Democrat leaders said that helped incite the "Summer of Love" that resulted in deaths, destruction, attempted murders of dozens of LEO. Trump has done nasty stuff to people, no doubt. Biden destroyed most of a man's life because of lies he told. Trump has lied about his accomplishments. So has Biden. Trump had extramarital affairs that were tried by the press. Someone accused Biden and told people when it happened, and she was nothing but vilified for it.

If it wasn't for double standards, many in the USA would have no standards at all.

Either call it all out and punish them all, or let it all go, and we can continue to be stupid.

I misread, @therealcookiemonster shared some Jordan Klepper videos.

Considering the electorate who voted Trump in last time can't string a coherent sentence together, they voted for the person they most strongly identify with, who they believe speaks for them. His sentence construction has been likened to that of an 8 year old, go figure!

@therealcookiemonster that's hilarious 😂 😂 😂 😂

As Daniel Gault shares above watch YouTube Jordan Klepper's, with The Daily Show, interactions with MAGA nuts. Many have no idea what they're talking about, literally, or what's really happening. Head in the sand, or worse how clueless people are, and therefore gullible. I've interacted with some of them as I unfortunately live in a more conservative area. They get their news from one source and if you ask questions they either get defensive, or have some far right explanation. They refuse to read/listen to ANY other sources, even if it comes out that peopleon the right admit a storyisnot factual. It's scary and sad. I'm sick of everyone. I wish they'd all shut up and do their job.

I hope they are given protection of the highest order, they're gonna need it!

Doesn't it show what a morally bankrupt society it is that would still enable a convicted criminal to lead the country, and to have been voted in by its people. What was it - ah yes, God Bless America. They're going to need to pray very very hard!

and yes @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g It is good news indeed 👍

The pedophiles in the basement of Hillary's pizza parlour? Jewish people who start all the forest fires by firing lasers from outer space? George Soros and his minions spying on us through our microwaves ovens? Who knows who these people consider "they"?

With the choices being either Aa criminal, scuzbucket and azzhat or Ba dementia ridden puppet patient, scuzbucket and azzhat; we already ARE the laughing stock! Me--I am just crying out of frustration and wondering where the real candidates are hiding. If Trump and Biden are the USA's choices, we are one hell of a fucked up nation. We need a capable and honest third party, but neither the Rs or Ds will ever, ever allow one to get established here. Many have tried, none have succeeded.

Yeah but what you gonna do? He committed crimes. You can't just say "oh well, it's gonna embolden his crazy base, let's just forget about it!"

I can definitely see it doing that too, but I do think some might take a step back and think. The 'They' is such a massive group that it's impossible to predict the behaviour afterwards.

I think it will do the opposite, it will reinforce their belief that trump is being targeted, it will feed the conspiracy theories and it will increase his support

Excuse me, but this beautifully illustrates the curse of AIBU, that this should be posted here, instead of in a forum on politics or current events.

No one polled better Biden early on in the primaries to be dem candidate.

Kamala Harris is not popular.

Look I don't know how these Trump apologists think they have a leg to stand on. It's all a pathetic attempt to distract. We all saw with our own eyes what happened on January 6th. It was played out live on tv in front of the world. Trump incited it. He watched on knowing full well his own vice president was being threatened with being killed .

Trump is not interested in the rule of law. He's not interested in America. He's not interested in the people of America. He's interested in himself. That's it.

Be in the White House before the end of the year???

That's impossible
