It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades.
I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump…

If you’re running against someone and you feel like you have to rush to their defense each time they’re indicted probably best to pack it in. Free advice.

The Trump indictment is troubling for what it reveals about his behavior. But the pretense of GOP politicians that it is political is more outrageous in its own way. They know better. It’s dishonest. It’s despicable. And it’s dangerous.

Take this seriously. “Perimeter probe”: Higgins thinks indictment precedes bigger attack. “rPOTUS”: “real POTUS,” Trump. “Hold”: “stand back & stand by.” “Buckle up”: prepare for war. “1/50 k”: military scale maps. “Know your bridges”: militia speak for prepare to seize bridges. pic.twitter.com/8wMLQ0AvHA

They don’t care about facts.

They don’t care about law.
They don’t care about proof.
They don’t care about institutions.
They only care about Trump.
Because it’s a cult.
They overestimated us --
Really loving these OpEd pieces that go "However, liability as a sexual predator and conviction on numerous felony charges, not to mention being impeached twice, does not prevent someone from holding office."

Yeah?
WELL, IT FUCKING SHOULD.
The idea that the Founding Fathers didn't make this a law because they figured no one would be stupid enough to elect such a goddamn criminal just goes to show you that they had a much higher opinion of us than we likely deserve.
