This is so bad


I don't want to live in a country where Trump could be held accountable

Now that my favorite president, Donald Trump, is facing a 37-count indictment from the feds, I join with my brothers and sisters in MAGA, and with all sensible Republicans, in saying this: I’m not sure I want to live in a country where a former president can wave around classified documents he's not supposed to have and say, “This is secret information. Look at this,” and then be held accountable for his actions.

I mean, what kind of country have we become? One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,” and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 37 alleged “crimes”? Look at all the other people out there in America, including Democrats like Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden, who HAVEN’T been indicted for crimes on the flimsy excuse that there is no “evidence” they did crimes. THAT’S TOTALLY UNFAIR!


Note: not sure I've done this correctly pls let me know if I've displayed too much,,,,, or done something wrong.

I end up with a screen-filling barrage of pop-up ads and autoplay videos.

It's so difficult to read the article that I've given up trying.

And good morning.

I enjoyed it. If my MAGA relatives still spouted their BS in my presence, I would hit back with this.
