MODERATORS
Among the bill’s cosponsors is House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who recently told Politico, “I think it’s common sense that you can’t have the president sitting in the Oval Office worried about whether some lawyer or some local DA somewhere is going to go after him.”
How is this common sense? Politicians are in urgent need of more fear of the law and voters.
Can you imagine if this was normalized for the president, and then over time became acceptable for other people?
"You can't have congress people worried about whether some lawyer will go after them."
"You can't have CEO's worried about whether the DA will go after them."
"You can't expect your boss to worry about whether you will go after them."
"You can't expect your pastor to worry about whether the faithless will go after them."
They're so out of touch with the rest of the world, they think they should be immune from prosecution.
And yet they don't seem to realize that most people think prison is the best place for all of them. Nobody gives a fuck about their well-being or their "worries."
In other words, “Let’s strip out one of the checks and balances built in to the country in order to ensure we get the very dictator king the founders sought to prevent.”

"I'd like to be able to commit unlimited acts that violate state laws, please."
What the literal fuck.
Republicans: "We see no problems with this whatsoever."
Remember: they aren't arguing Trump didn't break the law, they're arguing that the Democrats are wrong to prosecute him for it.
Candyass pussy should be stripped of everything and exiled to putinland to shut him up
Maybe if Trump loses he'll move to Russia and fuck things up over there instead
That would sure lighten the country's mood
Or fall out a window.
This is proof that for the ruling class life really is just a game... of Monopoly ™️ .
Nah, monopoly was way more fair. This is like monopoly with house rules. You all know what I am talking about. You give shady loans to your sister, just to keep the game going. After you own everything you give big payouts to players to make real time rule changes. No? OK, maybe I am the only psycho that played late stage monopoly.
Sounds like someone’s broadcasting his confidence in the NY criminal trial defense.
He wants a "too big to fail" law for politicians. Its so stupid and short sighted, but its an obvious result of a narcissist under pressure.
He's scared lol.
So it sounds like they're wording this that it would cover 'former presidents' so in theory Biden would also be protected. The GOP wouldn't be able to go after him for their made up charges. Are they willing to protect Trump and not go after Biden? Probably, if it ensures Trump will be president again.

GOP legislators better do what Trump wants if they know what's good for them.
Come on, neo-cons, kneel down and kiss his ring.

Ok but Biden still isn’t in Gaza to act as human shield which means I’m gonna vote for Trump, twice!
But “innocent” people shouldn’t need to worry about things like that…. Right Donnie?
Side note: does anyone else ever notice the lack of comments from the farleft’ers on posts like these? It’s always strangely silent and smug-free whenever there’s a post about Trump.
Can they also pass a law forcing both Stormy Daniels and Hilary to suck him dry?
Ofcourse once that written in the books, all we gotta do is go find a vampire and get him to bite Hilary and Stormy. Then my master evil plan would probably work.
But whatever, sure, another trial? Yeah I'm sure we'll get him this time! What did he do now? Run a red light? That's 20 shots to the head if you're a poor Mexican or black. But not previous Trump. He gets yet another trial. That's what rich assholes get.

He'll be dead after a second term lol. It's a (evil) miracle he's made it this far on a cocaine and fast food diet.
