“Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump posted on social media.

How do people consider voting for this slimy ball of human waste?

The holy trinity. qAnon, Fox News and the Bible (but not the woke parts where Jesus was a communist)

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 37 points 7 months ago

(R)

That's literally all there is to it, after 30 plus years of conservative media brainwashing people.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Don't forget Putin had a hand in there, along with his cyber operations and GOP/NRA cash.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 32 points 7 months ago

To own the libs, of course.

[-] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 27 points 7 months ago

I have seen two of my neighbors flying the Trump flag. I feel its like flying the confederate flag. A declaration that you are a racist evil POS.

[-] pottedmeat7910@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

That kind of behavior is like taking a giant dump on the front lawn and thinking the neighbors are jealous.

[-] Digital_man@lemmy.one 20 points 7 months ago

Unchecked white privilege.

[-] RobertOwnageJunior@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

More like unchecked propaganda.

[-] CoderKat@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

Because they are bigots. They genuinely want to hurt "those people". They are afraid of being called out on their bigotry, so like to see people in power act the same way. Because they're bigoted themselves, they see bigotry in leaders as "telling it like it is".

Even if he did have a right to take secret documents from the White House, he has a clear duty to protect their secrecy. This is an admission of guilt.

The President is not god, he has a duty to serve the people and the nation.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 47 points 7 months ago

This guy said things well. Ill say them my way.

WE SHOULD PUNCH HIM IN THE COCK

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 19 points 7 months ago

Mission failed, target too small.

[-] winky88@startrek.website 9 points 7 months ago

Not even Skywalker could hit that.

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

With a cock that small, a punch to the groin is less targeted and more area of effect.

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Hard to find a target that small

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Why do they call you Cock Knocker?

judge be simping

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago

Jfc. Lock him the fuck up.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 41 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You know, the fun part of this all is, in a way, all the presidency is is its norms and traditions. Trump flaunted all of them. He didn't understand they were in place to protect him. It should come as no surprise when he isn't treated like a former president because he never acted like a president in the first place.

[-] UnspecificGravity@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Right? He wants all the unofficial but traditional perks and benefits of being a president without being bound by all the traditional obligations and expectations of the office.

It's like he thinks being rich gives him an exception to all this shit, but he's to stupid to realize that MOST American Presidents are rich, many of them more than he'll ever be.

That's Trump's whole life. He thinks being rich cures him of rules and obligations, but then he wants into "high society" because of the access and authority that it provides. But that price of admission to that circle isn't JUST about being rich, it's about following the very rules that Trump doesn't feel bound by.

It's why the only thing he can think to do with the office of the president is trying to find cool stuff to show people to make people fonally like him.

This is America, even rich people can be trash.

[-] TheJims@lemmy.world 34 points 7 months ago

Only people who paid Trump for membership to his shitty golf hotel got access to Americas and their Allies Top Secret documents.

What a traitorous un American piece of shit this asshole is.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Which by the way the US has caught spies trying to get in to this exact property, plus the Australian billionaire who wasn't a spy but repeated state secrets from Trump to tons of people.

oh good a meme

[-] Additional_Prune@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago

Toss his ass in jail while he awaits trial, just like what happens to regular schmucks who leak classified information.

[-] Case@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 7 months ago

I don't think linking classified documents, at the level a president had, falls into regular schmucks.

Throw him into a military prison. While he won't suffer as much as he would under the general population, it certainly wouldn't be a "witch hunt" compared to when inmate 0792348 shanks him because he can't fathom a social structure where he isn't "superior."

Then, when the trial completes, with a guilty verdict, throw him in with gen pop. Preferably in a predominately black cell block in NY. A lot of bad blood there for a vocally racist piece of shit who directly acted against the black community over decades.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

Boy am I glad we have Aileen Cannon as the judge presiding over this case, so you know she'll be fair and impartial about this sort of thing.
