"Wow, so Bill Clinton AND Trump get locked up? What's the downside?"
One of Trump's defense arguments for presidential immunity for any action was that if presidents didn't have it, Bush could be prosecuted for misleading Congress about WMDs, and Obama could be prosecuted for drone strikes against civilians.
Yes please.
You mean we should’ve given Nixon his well deserved punishment for treason, instead of a pardon? And we might have set an example to others, and be on a very different timeline? Fuuuuuuu
I want this so bad
so, what happens... if I mash that thing multiple times?
also, is it pressure sensitive? if I mash it harder... ?
Can I stick a robot to spam it 24/7/365/9999?
…. Let’s add maintenance windows to, you know, make sure it stays working. First sunday every month?
I like the joke that puts them in hell where Trump is forever giving Clinton a blowjob. This way we can know they are both miserable forever.
Make federal investigation in to any potential wrongdoing a retirement for holding any rejected federal office. Staff an entire branch of the government who's only job it is to investigate elected officials.
The FBI used to hold sting operations for corrupt elected officials. They had to stop because they found like 70% of them to be corrupt.
If they kept at it, would the number not go down?
No, the number of very rich and/or very clumsy FBI directors would go up.
Would? I guess it did.
i assume... "requirement" and "elected" instead of "retirement" and "rejected"?
Probably prudent, but then how do we select this branch of government and protect it from becoming corrupt?
B-b-but...
B-b-but...
B-b-but... then how would you politicize that!?
Unfortunately some people aren't merely dumb, they are outright evil:-(.
"requirement", right? Unless you mean they should be forced to retire if they are investigated.
Staff an entire branch of the government who's only job it is to investigate elected officials.
Yeah, and we could call it the Congress or something!
BUT also, Hunter Biden gets prosecuted for any crime he’s committed
push push push push
That's the thing about MAGAts. They assume that because they will circle the wagons and defend to their last breath everyone who bends the knee to Orange Man, or of course him himself, that Democrats must obviously be seething at the idea that anyone even tangentially connected to Biden face a day in court.
This exact conversation happened to me IRL once - and it was about a decade ago. The shock expression of the woman who realized I wasn't gong to protect Bill -hell anyone on my side- match my shocked expression a second later when I realized she was trying to set up a M.A.D. scenario about child sex traffickers. These people are gross.
Yep.
They can't fathom that democrats arent as corrupt and vile as they are.
Thats why they project so much.
They are convinced they are doing X, so Democrats must be doing X too.
Bill already has done irreparable damage to american democracy. Why would anyone but an establishment dem come to his defense?
How to make cartoon button real?
Smashing that no one is above the law button like a boss.
Are you saying both sides are part of the giant pedo elite cabal? No way!
TBF with the information available an investigation would be more likely to clear any doubts on Clinton than it would incriminate him.
Pretty much the only interaction between the two would be using the Epstein's Private Plane on a trip to several charity medical sites across Africa.
If there was more than that I'd love to know about it, though, so hell yeah press the button.
They're all scum and criminals. Some more than others. I won't defend garbage politicians who represent my interests, the same way I won't defend garbage politicians that don't.
If they're garbage and criminals, they should be prosecuted regardless of what they stand for or vote for. Nobody is above the law.
I don't know what people don't get about all people being equal, but that's what it is. We are all citizens, we are all responsible for our own actions, and if we do the illegal, then we should face the consequences of that action regardless of who we are, or what we do, or how much money/influence/whatever, we may possess.
I know it doesn't work that way. Some people get away with shit constantly because they're rich/influential/whatever, but that reality doesn't impact my perspective on the matter. They should be prosecuted, whether they are or not is another issue entirely. Given the choice to have people investigated or not for crimes, I say go for it. If the people convicted are those that I may have voted for or supported in the past, then I'm glad they've been convicted and removed. They probably didn't deserve my support, but I can only operate on information I have, not information of what might be true...
It's also worth noting that people with undisclosed skeletons in their closet are blackmailable. So even if they represented your interests in the past that all ends once someone puts them on a leash. This is why even if you make no moral judgements there are pragmatic reasons to not have such people in office.
Shocking the button for more press per-press.
Did you pull up the movie to screencap that?? That's some effort!
Actually no, I tried to find it on Getyarn but it didn't have a dedicated clip, so I just found that screenshot via image search (and it was from Twitter hosting I guess, so I hope it loads for everyone).
I absolutely could have done that though, but if I did it'd be hosted here on Kbin and as a .png with reduced colors (example, though I wanted to re-word that right after I made it) and I don't mind doing that but I always need to sift through my own comments to find reusable images like that I've made.
This one might be better as a gif/webm though, that'd be a bit different getting there though.
Would you mind sharing the original meme that you use as template, please? Looks like the kind of stuff I want to keep close for future memes.
