Because the Assad regime fell, they caught the NY shooter, and Trump says batshit crazy stuff all the time, diluting the outrage of each individual crazy thing he says. I'm right there with you in being appalled by it though.
I just want to be in bed the next 4 years of this impending Shit Show 2.0 because my brain doesn't want to deal with his shit and all the harm and regression that comes with it.
They did have a choice. They could have, like I did this year, acknowledged that the “wrong” candidate had won, and get ready for four years of rule by someone they think is an idiot. They chose instead to use force to try to get the loser into power anyway.
Same question: how is the President Elect saying he plans on deporting US born citizens which is in total violation of the Constitution not front page news?
Agree, Trump’s goal is to insert justice, so he insinuates that those who pleaded guilty to crimes recorded on video must have been corruptly pressured to do so.
Ok, but that’s not how Baker relayed it. And even if you go with the NBC version, why did they have no choice exactly? Trump’s reasoning on that would be equally damning, just in a different way.
Agree that the other interpretation is problematic too. I’m sure he doesn’t feel that way about guilty pleas for other criminals. But he throws the justice system under the bus anyway to justify his actions.
Trump said "They had no choice" b/c in his corrupt mind, "they" are just an extension of HIM. And HE felt he had no choice. Because he had tried everything else (Mike Pence, fake electors...). So if HE has no choice, and to him, everyone else is merely a tool for him, well then.. THEY had no choice.
We all know the answer, but he should also be asked the follow up question "if the prisons are so foul and shouldn't even be open, are you saying everyone else, not your supporters specifically, should be freed?"
Better yet he's calling the prisons "dirty, filthy places that shouldn't be open".... Yet that is where he and the government wants to send people they deem worthy of that treatment.
Turns out a critical mass of our neighbors are so dumb they shouldn't be allowed to drive or own sharp sticks. Welp, at least we now know the face of the great filter.
The entire interview was one clip after another showing he’s an idiot, that he thinks he knows more than economists, that he doesn’t give a shit about the constitution, etc. news outlets should be dedicating entire issues and episodes to detailing how totally unfit and dangerous he is. They won’t.
It’s a continuation of what we saw during the campaign. The media has rendered itself irrelevant in its former role of informing the public and presenting objective facts.

He is never expected to act like an adult.
He is never expected to follow the law.
Anything can be excused.
Let him talk. Then arrest...

Focus on the future. The voters have accepted the past; don't waste time trying to make voters care about something they don't want to remember.
Focus on preventing it from happening again.
