I don't care if they are Republican or Democrat. If they are criminals, they should go to jail. Release the Epstein files and send Bill and Trump to jail.

Thats the thing I don't think they get.

"Ok, well our guy will go to jail, but so will yours!!!"

"That's fine."

"But then we BOTH lose!"

"This isn't a MAD doctrine situation. This is supposed to be more like a scorched earth situation. No corruption left behind."

And I don't think they grasp that.

What they don't grasp is that we'd send our guy to jail: because they won't.

That's the difference.

When a corrupt democrat is exposed they're expelled (bye bye Cuomo)

When a corrupt republican is exposed they're re-elected.

Even if it’s egregiously overstated (Al Franken).

[–] svtdragon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

This still makes me mad.

Tbf though you cant become republican if you havent exposed yourself a couple times

It would do more to drain the swamp than anything Trump had ever imagined.

She is only saying it because she is positive the files will never get released.

Thus is the difference between MAGA/republicans and everyone else

Bill was lended Epstein's plane one time to a regular AIDs relief tour in Africa.

Trump has been on his plane many times, but more importantly called him a friend and went to his island. Many times.

You sound as crazy as the people calling Stephen Hawking a kid diddler when you say stuff like that. You, like the majority of Americans, seem to have no fucking clue what actually happens around them.

But yes, I agree, release the reports and send people who broke the law to prison.

Saying Bill Clinton, the guy who couldn't keep it in his pants in the Oval Office, is a kid diddler sounds as crazy as calling Stephen Hawking one?

Does your logic really sound logical to you?
