It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?
I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.
The guy is facing like dozens of criminal charges. How can someone like that run for presidency in the first place?
Innocent until proven guilty. It’s important to remember that.
However, I’d argue the President of the United States should be held to a higher standard than merely “not convicted.”
Hasn’t he now said things in open court multiple times that would be taken as direct admissions coming from anyone else?
I’m civil court. I don’t think he’s testified in any criminal cases yet. Maybe I’m wrong.
Nice to meet you

Guys, what else do you say to anthropomorphic personifications?
Not today.
WE WILL BE BACK TOMORROW, COME BINKY.
Wouldn’t matter, as long as it’s entered in open court it’s admissable as evidence.
Statements in civil court are admissible. He is allowed to take the 5th if it concerns criminal activity, it’s just a bad thing because in civil court the worst is assumed of what was asked.

Ironically it’s generally just that felons can’t vote. There is some understandablility for not making felons unable to run for office, in theory it could be used as a political tool.
It’s an easily exploitable human rights violation for that as is, which is why all the shithole states are making various forms of protest a felony.
Agreed
They should be able to vote too. Felonizing minorities is a real thing that’s been going on since 1865.
I agree
Case in point: The QAnon Shaman is running for a US Senate seat. Seriously. He wants to be a legislator in the building that he was sent to prison for physically attacking.

I strongly disagree. Being convicted of a felony is far easier than you may think. It is still a felony in many states to possess weed, to give only one example. It is too susceptible to being used for political persecution.
In fact, it already is used for that purpose since convicted felons can’t vote in most states. The entire purpose of the war on drugs was political persecution.
There aren’t laws because we don’t want the government to be able to just imprison any opposition. There is however a Constitutional rule about government officials who lead insurrections. I’m excited for all the Constitutionalists to just ignore that though.
you said it yourself. He’s FACING criminal charges. He hasn’t been convicted of anything. Remember in America you’re innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ve made up your mind about him, but the law hasn’t, yet…
Sounds like you’ve made up your mind on Trump 😂 just another in denial
IDGAF about Trump to be honest. He’s a crook along with the rest of them. The whole government is as fucked as the fanboys that pant over what side is right.
