            The sentencing happens before he has any power.

            Plus, any state charges can’t be pardoned by a president.

      He’s literally said that people “won’t have to worry about voting” once he’s in power. Sounds like a direct threat to democracy, no?

        At some point it becomes impossible to tell what is something Trump really believes and might actually do versus what is just blowing smoke, blatant lying, a thing that contradicts another thing he said, or something he forgot he said.

            My understanding of the context of that was he is talking about was getting the Christians out to vote “just this time” then they wont have to do it again. Doesnt sounds like authoritarian rule sounds like asking a group of people to make the effort just this once.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
