US Election 2024 antics

Indeed. Trump specifically identified Hunter Biden as being one he would seek to be prosecuted. I was disappointed that the current president decided to pardon his son - that is the awful nepotism we’ve seen too much of from Trump. But in light of Trump’s threats its not really surprising that Biden made this pardon. Even though it does not look good.
But if it does not look good for Biden to do this - then we surely can say that the many coming pardons from Trump also will not look good.

So you think. That when trump leaves office after this term should be able to pardon everyone when he leaves office, even himself.

Think

That would give him the right to do anything he want. That would give him the authority to become a dictator. Do away with the bill of rights. The Constitution.

Think

The Social Democrats would give Trump authority over every thing. Do people not understand the basics. They would hand him the authority to do what they are accusing him doing in the future.

Think. People think

Trump doesn’t respect the rules and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. So that will be exactly what he does if it suits his needs. You can’t blame Biden for protecting himself and his family given the circumstances. I heard Trump pardoned his son in law or son in law’s father last time round.

Err, there was a supreme court judgement on this recently - because Trump was trying to use presidential immunity as a get out for his many court cases. He would be super happy to gain such authority and immunity. He would take it - no-one would give it to him.
The thinking that needed to be done was by the American voters. And, in the majority, they fell short of thinking it through.

Trump is just following the law and they can charge him with what they want and it has to be decided by the courts.
Pardons is covered by the law and if you can’t see the difference. I can’t help that.

Obvious failure of comprehending “cause and effect”

Bottom line

Yes it was the voters that got him in office and there are rules/guide lines on pardons. But if you can not see the "cause and effect’ that would happen if Biden is able to do this .
Biden is trying to do this is because it cost Trump millions and hopefully Trump’s administration will do the same thing to the Biden administration as Biden administration did to Trump’s administration. And they won’t be able to afford court costs the Trump went through.

And yes. Pay back is fair play. It’s called cause and effect.

Doing the Trump dance

Sorry, can you explain this pay back and cause and effect. In very simple terms please ideally with specific examples. I really can’t understand your point.

Tariffs are not a bluff but they are typically negotiated downward with extensive terms. That said, if terms are not reasonable (like aggressively securing the northern Mexico border, or China not agreeing to a balance of purchasing more US products) this administration is not going to hesitate levying them because we have to get our trade deficit under control and give US manufacturing a shot in the arm. As for the recent numbers that have been floated, It would take an absolute “no” for tariffs to be as high as projected and Mexico and Canada (literally) are coming to the table. China is next.

I can’t understand the logic as to how imposing tariffs will not cost the US heaps of money, cause supply shortages, increase inflation to astro levels. Is this spare manufacturing capacity just sitting there waiting for all these orders? If it is then I can see why you have a problem in the first place. If not then I can see how you will have a big problem as soon as these assumed tariffs are enforced.

I’m assuming that they will go for certain goods which are currently uncompetitive in the US market. Perhaps goods that some of the people making the policies have shares in?

Yes, you are correct on who fought,but Fascism is an extremist Right-Wing movement, intolerant and manipulative, and has always existed here in the US in Christofascism. Religion is a man invented concept, whose history is as old as man himself, presenting man with over 18000 Gods over it’s existence, with not one iota of proof for any of them, which is ok, if that is what you want to believe, but Donald Trump’s following are Christian extremists, and they pose to change a nation to live on their extremist concept, and while Trump won the easily manipulated electoral vote, the popular vote was / is almost evenly split (maybe 1.5%) and traitor Don is already proposing to realign state borders, and I know you already know what I’m saying, but yo are just asking questions to try and confuse others, and by the way, at 1.5 %, Fascist Don doesn’t have the support he thinks, spew what lies / propaganda you wish, you know we live in turbulent times here in the US.

More Right-Wing propaganda, moments after the so-called "assassination shirts were hitting the street proclaiming Fascist Don as a shoo-in for President, you know as well as I propaganda Robin, it was a ruse.

There is also “red fascism”

Since 2017 Trump has spent on average $171,000 a day in legal fees and services. By accusations made by numerous Democrats. (Willis smith, James, engonron, polosi, bragg, metchan, McAfee) The list can easily ad 20 to 30 more people. Most of the accusations (99%) never even made it to court. You have to pay attorneys even in those cases
The classified documents Trump had gotten due his term as president and had legal fees/services because of that. So, that leaves Biden got classified documents while being vice president IS NOT ALLOWED.

Just a sample

Tariffs are not a bluff, Trumps goal is to protect Corporate America, in return he is penalizing consumer America with tariffs and tariffs begets tariffs, an this will in the end punish consumer America. Yes, Trumps selections for pivotal roles in US policy makings will severally hamper US goals policies, but then that is the goal of fascist America, which we must overcome.

an yet, comrade Trump by way of his wealth and political influence has avoided justice.

Using the socialist fascist method of legal mentality of trying to financially poorer people into submission, failed. It is fixing to turn the table, hopefully, and put his accusers, into financial ruin. I’m hoping.

Trump dance

it makes as much economic sense as Brexit, which has ruined Britain.

You’ve not answered my request for an explanation of “pay back is fair play, its called cause and effect”. Which is beyond obscure and needs elaboration.
You’ve frequently used the term “peace loving haters” - I don’t understand that reference either. Its clearly not meant as compliment. But how does it work as an insult and why is it justified?
Now you’re referring to “socialist fascist methods”. What on earth are these? And who is applying them? Do you actually understand either word?

It’s very basic, if someone does something to you, do it back to them. Payback very simple.
Cause and effect - if someone had not done something to me, I wouldn’t do some thing to them. You got me, I hit back. Not that hard.

It’s not an insult, it’s a fact

People want peace but support riots

Loving people that give lip service to things but nothing else.

The same peace loving people support riot, support violence against their opponents

It’s all self explanatory.
Have you ever answered any of my questions?
