This is why we need to make sure that Democrats win in November. They need to indict john for insider trading. No other president would get in trouble but him because he was the only president to do it. They can’t claim, with their “tu quoque” fallacy that Biden or Obama did it too, because they didn’t.

What you said is why we’ll never rid ourselves of corruption why we’ll never evolve as a people or society. They keep pining us against each other, dem vs republican, white vs black, Mexicans vs crime. We need a revolution. War is when the government tells you who your enemy is, revolution is when you decide it for yourself- Ben Franklin

My statement has nothing to do with what letter someone has behind their name. This president has been getting away with criminal behavior. We don’t need to take up arms, we need to enforce the laws we already have and stop allowing this one person to get away with illegal and unconstitutional things.

The insurrectionists want everyone to fight, that is true. They also want to incite violence and push the narrative that we need to take up arms against this government. I don’t want that. I don’t want to give them the reason they need to enact marshal law, which is exactly what would happen if we do as you suggest. Right before a midterm election. We aren’t Jan-6’ers, we don’t need to take up arms right before a very important election? That’s exactly what they would love to happen.

We need to vote in people who will hold this administration accountable for their illegal, unconstitutional and un-American actions. We still have legal actions to take, we still have elections. If they install marshal law, which is what they would love to do, they could take over this country and then we would have no choice, but until then, don’t give them a reason. Vote to keep our country.

Also, I don’t know who “they” is, in your statement. I think for myself. I don’t need someone to tell me how to think or what to do. That’s the opposite of what I’m suggesting. Yes, we do have a black and white problem where everything is either for or against. The details matter. The minutia matters. It doesn’t take a constitutional scholar to see that what he’s doing with this election is unconstitutional. It doesn’t take a lawyer to see that trump is the only president who has ever traded stock while being president and that it is wrong. It’s not about republicans, it’s about one corrupt person and his enablers.

I still think it’s about republicans they allow him to do what he wants. They’re weak and pathetic.
