You dont live in a country where Rule of Law matters anymore.

  Rule of law? Anymore? No president has ever been punished in any meaningful capacity in our entire history. Washington used loopholes to avoid setting his slaves free[1] for christ sake.

    What about Nixon’s impeachment and resignation? What about Trump being a convicted felon 5 ways to Sunday (yes they overturned this since he won again, but I doubt it would have gone this direction if he’d lost.)

      How much time did Nixon spend in prison? Or did he opt to be caned instead?

      1. There is no downside to impeachment. It has the same impact as a strongly worded letter. 2. Nixon decided to resign and not the alternative for doing something so insane: A restoration of damages. 3. Like I said, they were overturned. I mean even the NYT was trying to figure out the result: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money-prison.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/nyregion/trump-trial-hush... The reality is the system will bend itself to avoid the problem, because it's been designed to avoid that problem.
