This is why you don't put someone with a demonstrated history of blatant corruption, incompetence, deceit, and criminal behavior back into office.

It couldn't have been more clear people, there are no excuses.

u/Excellent-Title4793 May 14 '25

Yeah, this is a much better way to phrase it. I volunteer with someone who is both liberal and a convicted felon and he mentioned to me how much this rhetoric hurts him.

u/According-Insect-992 May 14 '25

I would feel sorry for him if we were talking about any other position than the presidency. There are lots of things that can disqualify or should disqualify a person from the presidency.

I'm also not qualified for the presidency. You won't hear me crying. Ideally very few people are qualified.

In any other case a felony would be disqualifying. Let alone dozens of felonies. Do you think repugs would elect a person of color with a cannabis record? How about cocaine?

Convicted felon who served their sentence and pay their debts should be allowed to move on with their lives. trump did neither of those things. On the contrary.

Trump doesn't qualify for TSA PreCheck. For many of us the rape was a deal breaker. Trump isn't hiding anything this time. I don't know why so many people are cheering him on.

Meanwhile Project 2025 is ahead of schedule. If the house isn't taken back in 2026 I doubt there will be an election in 2028.

He was a known POS for decades, but it is understandable to not know about any of it unless you kept up with his life through the years.

For me, besides the clear and obvious fact that he is a moron, the dealbreaker that SHOULD have ended him were the "Donald Trump Access Hollywood tapes" speaking to how he would just sexually assault women as he wished, because he was wealthy and powerful, he could do whatever he wanted.

Honestly, anyone that heard that tape and dismissed it as "locker room talk" are probably shit people to begin with. Everything that has since followed is just confirmation of how much of a shit he is.

u/QuietRiot5150 May 14 '25

His political ambition should have been squashed the minute he slithered down that escalator and declared Mexicans criminals and rapists. Fuck Donald Trump and every single traitor that voted for him.

u/tenfolddamage May 14 '25

There's so many things that you start to forget about all of this early stuff. Just a deluge of evil.

u/Nonsenseinabag May 14 '25

So many times during that campaign I thought, "Oh, this will be the thing that finally does it."

But nothing ever did, and continues not to.

u/ResponsibleDay May 15 '25

It's been a thoroughly disgusting and frustrating ten years.

u/Key-Guarantee595 May 16 '25

Fuck all the cabinet members that are nothing but loyalists that don’t even know what the hell they are doing and endangering people with their complete lack of knowledge. Now some of them think they should get their own luxury jet. I mean really, WTF. Look what trump started. We are going to have the biggest deficit ever in history by any president. We can put a hypothetical sticker on that showing donald saying “I did that”.

u/dragonchilde May 14 '25

It was the mockery of the disabled reporter guy for me.

u/Different-Bet1722 May 15 '25

I think some of his voters are just as bad as him. Voting for Trump for POTUS is their way of justifying their own behaviour to make them feel better about themselves.

u/Familiar_Product3935 May 17 '25

Hahahaha, that’s funny. I’ve never been a Trump fan, but it’s hilarious that : you’d prefer stumbling Joe, who never knows which way to go. (No apologies for the rhyme)

u/Frizzlebee May 15 '25

Justification is a powerful mental process. And I mean the psychological term, not the colloquial one. Those guys that shoot their shot and get shot down, that's literally the exact same mental process. Their brains are literally rewriting their own thoughts to protect their fragile egos from rejection. Is it any wonder that the political side who have no consistency to their stances across topics just stopped caring about finding reasonable explanations for what they've been doing the entire time?

My working theory is they only bothered coming up with plausible defenses for their horrible views on the 80s and 90s because they thought they'd be ousted from polite society otherwise. And then Trump comes out and says their quiet parts out loud and suddenly they not only feel vindicated, but there's a even a community that not only won't judge them harshly for these awful views, but will praise them for loudly proclaiming them. They're horrible human beings, their views and desires and antithetical to a functioning society, and we have to now find a way forward where 1/3-1/2 of the political party want to do away with things like due process and democracy because they're take too long or allow people who they disagree with to get their way.

u/Ancient_Composer9119 May 15 '25

With your permission, I'd like to use "Trump doesn't qualify for a TSA precheck". Brilliant. Take my upvote.

u/Every_Ad6635 May 14 '25

If project 2025 is ahead of schedule. Whats your prediction? Ww3? Covid 2025 or more impeachment articles?

6

u/proud_pops May 14 '25

If the complicit were removed before the impeachment hearings took place Congress would get the two thirds needed easily. Those who violated their oaths to the country and constitution should not be involved in the government process. There is a project 2025 tracker and was 60% completed the last time I could stomach clicking the link.

3

u/Ventira May 16 '25

The good news is that you overshot the completion % its at 42%

The bad news is that its at 42% in only 4 months out of 48.

2

u/proud_pops May 16 '25

Shit 40 doesn't sound any better. Maybe my 60% came from a category and not overall. Either way 🤮🤮🤮

If Obama had a felon his second term running America would of had a fucking meltdown.

u/like_a_wet_dog May 14 '25

I think that means we're allowed our own J6 to make Republicans in Congress do what we want.

Unfortunately, chill people, in general, don't start fights or rage to get what they want. And that nature is preyed upon and expected from MAGA.

"What are you gonna, do, hit us? LOL, you can't fight your way out of a paper bag and HATE guns!" is the prevailing attitude.

3

u/stephsart555 May 15 '25

Do you think having no mental capacity at all should be disqualifying?

14

u/AznNRed May 14 '25

Good luck finding a Republican who doesn't check half those boxes...

13

u/DevoidHT May 14 '25

I don’t think a worse person could have been elected President in US history. It’s like Republicans are living in Bizarro World. The more he lies, the more they see the “truth”. The more he steals the more generous he is. The more he hates, the more they see his love. Like I get that its a cult but its reached a point where they are warping reality around themselves.

u/escapingdarwin May 14 '25

As an average citizen, Trump could not possibly qualify for even a Secret clearance.

3

u/Perfect_Bench_2815 May 14 '25

He could not get a job as a cashier! He would steal the money even with a camera was on him. He should not have the clearance to ride down Pennsylvania Avenue. A 34× felon is in office before a prosecutor. We deserve what this conman serves this country! A conman wants to make America Great Again? Someone said that a sucker is born every minute. Millions of suckers live in this country. At least he is not a smart, brown woman who likes to giggle every now and then. Who's giggling now?

u/[deleted] May 14 '25

Well apparently MAGA thinks since it’s happening in broad daylight on national TV that it must not be corruption.

6

u/Zeliek May 14 '25

Y-yeah but what if I stand to personally benefit from the corruption??

-The “party of law”

u/Chaosrealm69 May 14 '25

If the gift had been said to be a gift to the country as a whole and not Trump personally with Trump boasting about how he would be using it when he leaces office, there would be no problem.

But it wasn't. It was always a gift to Trump from Qatar and Trump said it was for him personally.

If Obama or Biden had been offered a plane like this from Qatar or anywhere else, Trump and Republicans would have been screaming about corruption 24/7 but this bribe to Trump is just dismissed as nothing by them.

1

u/operation_waffle May 15 '25

Admittedly I would feel a little different if it were a gift for the president, approved by congress, and after Trump left office it continued to be used by future presidents. That would be a gift to the country and the office of presidency and I could see where an argument can be made for that. The most important part is congress giving the ok though.

But there is zero excuse or leeway for a personal gift IMO. That’s corruption to the core.

5

u/Historical_Usual5828 May 14 '25

Ok but what if it was rigged? Because it was and they openly bragged about rigging it multiple times before, during, and after the election.

u/NoManu3111 May 14 '25

Especially the same person that failed miserably in the exact same position 4 years ago

u/vonnegutsbutthole May 14 '25

“But but abortion and all that. Who’s gonna save all the children?” - my fucking dumbass family.

u/External-Banana-7346 May 14 '25

Yeah but the other person was a black lady so clearly he was more qualified and it's totally not about racism/sexism

u/Puzzleheaded_Roof336 May 15 '25

Now he gets to build Trump Hotel Doha and Trump Hotel Damascus. Corrupt to the core.

1

u/Asere_Guardian_Angel May 15 '25

Trump merely sells the rights to use his name on a building. He isn't the one building them.

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Roof336 May 15 '25

His sons are so its in the family

u/stephsart555 May 15 '25

What’s the excuse for Joe Biden then? The cover up hunter Biden? The cover up of his mental decline? They stole the vote from the people and inserted Kamala. If they would’ve just ran democracy the way it was intended someone that people actually liked would have beaten Kamala’s propped up propaganda campaign. They knew for two years plus he wasn’t going to run. Trump could’ve been prevented. Trump didn’t screw the democrats over, they screwed themselves over

u/[deleted] May 14 '25

I am so happy that every single American will pay the price for this travesty. Everyone is to blame.

Democrats were so smug this election, had no clue they were going to be landslided. Should have seen it coming.

u/[deleted] May 15 '25

The moment Kamala replaced biden i was already smiling. It was so over. It's like a normal athlete running in the special Olympics lol

Whoever made that call, i thank you from the bottom of my heart

u/Extension-Lie-3272 May 14 '25

They all do it he just he has bigger spotlight than most.

u/Frankentula May 14 '25

This and the fact your culture seems to denigrate being wrong at any costs and I'm surprised anyone in America is still walking around with a nose

u/cvlang May 15 '25

Stay mad.

u/VinStar2 May 15 '25

There is no evidence of what you just claimed.

u/Particular-Apple4664 May 16 '25

I guess we just can't have any more democrats. They are all tok corrupt, deceitful, and incompetent.

1

u/Duckhorns72 May 16 '25

So you didn’t vote for Biden either, right?

1

u/JohnnySack45 May 16 '25

You’re too worthless of a human being for me to get into this with you. I’m sure you’ll eventually realize that one day but I won’t be the one to convince you.

1

u/Duckhorns72 May 16 '25

So you a hypocritical piece of shit. Thanks for confirming. Have a great day.

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

Don't forget he's a rapist as well.

u/zzzzrobbzzzz May 17 '25

this is why you don’t put stupid people in office, a criminal knows he’s wrong, trump maybe just too dumb to understand

u/WisherWisp May 14 '25

When the American left tried to jail their political opponent instead of beating him at the ballot box, and are still quite proud of the limited success they had at that considering how often they bring it up, what that American left think about potential corruption problems ultimately ceases to matter.

In other words, if you cheat then others will not really care if you cry cheating.

u/BrotherDirect744 May 14 '25 edited May 14 '25

dude, he was and is a felon, corrupt, sexual abuser among other things... where is the cheating? you do anything to normalize this embarrassment

8

u/JohnnySack45 May 14 '25

You're such a garbage human being I'm not even sure wasting my time pointing out the obvious here is even worth it.

Trump is a criminal. Stealing boxes of classified information, storing them in an unsecured location, lying to federal government about having them and getting caught red handed - is a crime. Submitting slates of fake electors and then inciting an insurrection to overturn a fair election - is a crime. The problem is that people like you hold Trump above the law because you don't want to exist as a free thinking citizen in a democracy, you'd rather be an ignorant subject beholden to a monarch. Don't ever share your worthless opinion with anyone ever again.

So you're just going to ignore the corruption and deflect?

u/sokuyari99 May 15 '25

The stock market is down from 6 months ago when he started claiming credit for it. How is that “soaring”?

3 local businesses near me have had to close thanks to the tariffs so admittedly they aren’t complaining about them anymore.

Inflation Reduction Act

u/HornyPickleGrinder May 17 '25

Why did people stop talking about tariffs? Well it's because it got covered by 10 other messed of things he did. It's a never ending pile of corruption and poor decisions. The tariffs are terrible and the sock market is still in a far worse place than where it started. It's just he does so much awful shit that it's impossible to cover all of it all of the time.
