Trump plans to block hearings in January 6 case before 2024 election

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/09/trump-january-6-witnesses-election

Last I checked, Trump had no position in the government. Do we need another explicit law on the books to prevent non-representative collusion in the Senate? 🤦

As a person with an equal amount of power as Trump at present, I'm reinstating them.

You can't claim absolute presidential immunity for the crimes you did... By order of the Supreme Bootlickers, Trump can.

Have you ever been president?!

Obviously executive authority continues after you leave office. But only if you are Republican. Obama has no executive authority anymore. Or Clinton.

Especially Clinton.

Be a great day when he has a massive heart attack on stage.

Nah you guys are all going too light on him. That mother fucker deserves nothing less than untreated rabies.

I'm personally hoping he gets a lethal case of diarrhea and dies marinating in his own filth like the pig he is, but a woman can dream

Well considering he's almost certainly incontinent from his stimulant abuse, you'll probably get that wish regardless of any other manner he dies

That may provide temporary relief, but the only way the US can come back from what he has done is for him to see the inside of a jail cell. That seems to be a remote possibility despite his conviction. Him simply dying will only be a temporary reprieve. Ultimately everybody dies. That's not justice.

Perhaps if it were an excruciatingly painful one.

Trump is the luckiest man on the planet. He will die comfortably in his sleep. Probably sitting at the resolute desk.

What about that little one they wheeled out for him and put him in a home instead?

"Yes, yes Mr. President".

Oh by the way there's no justice and we're going to make your women carry non-viable fetuses which may in fact kill them. Yeah. Not sorry. Also give us your money, poors. Here's some commandments you have to memorize for your driving test.

Surely new information could only exonerate him yes? 😁
