All for merely pointing out that the "MAGA gang" were attempting to score political points by portraying Mr Robinson as "anything other than them," which, at the time, was entirely factual, especially before the suspect had even been identified, let alone apprehended.
Meanwhile, Trump can openly call for heightened hostility, revenge, and tar the entire left wing of politics with it, and that's considered acceptable.
But anyone else who fails to perform the required ritual of mourning a racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ bigot, who died under circumstances he deemed an acceptable cost for children in the name of the Second Amendment, is suddenly beyond the pale?
What in the actual hell..!?
It is crazy how every warning about what would happen to the US if Trump won is coming true. Things even I thought were a bit of an exaggeration. I'm not shocked at all. And things are gonna get a lot worse. I still say the chances of a general election in 2028 are very low. The midterms will be the canary. I don't think he's going to be able to gerrymander his way out of losing one, if not both houses, so we'll see if a vote is even allowed or if some emergency powers get used to justify not having the election at all. The 2028 presidential election will still happen. But as I said, Trump will order Republican governors around the country to do everything they can to make it harder for Democrats to not only win, but to vote at all. Things like voter ID laws, which heavily favour Republicans. Things like redistricting, which will heavily favour Republicans. Laws about postal votes and pre-poll voting will be skewed to heavily favour Republicans. This isn't new - this is all stuff Trump has been talking about for years and/or Republican governors are already doing, or have already done. The unknown quantity is Trump running for a third term, which is unconstitutional. I think he is currently getting as much advice on how he can do that, how to bend the law and the Constitution or perhaps even re-write laws about this. I know for sure that he very much wants to be President for a third term - you can see it in his actions every day. He's gotten a taste of pretty much unrestrained power in his second term and he loves it and doesn't want to lose it. Okay, I've asked this question a hundred times and nobody has ever bothered to answer me. Just because something is unconstitutional it doesn't mean it can't happen. The Constitution - a piece of paper - can't stop anyone from doing anything. Similarly, no other law can stop someone from doing something - it can only tell them what they shouldn't do. Raping, stealing and murdering is unlawful yet it happens every single day in America (maybe even the White House). So, my question is: how will anyone physically stop Trump from running in the 2028 election? Legally, he can’t have a third term. In order for that to change, it would literally require an Act of Congress and he just wouldn’t have the votes. Who would stop him if he refused to step down? The United States Secret Service would remove him, under the orders of the Speaker or the new President if he/she was a Democrat. So really the only way for it to happen is a change to the Constitution. There’s no other way short of a military coup, which would never, ever happen in the U.S. Please stop talking about the law - I'm with you 100% on it. We agree, totally - the law says he can't do it. You are 100% right. However, I'm not asking what law prevents it - I'm asking how he can be physically stopped. Do you honestly think that the Secret Service will physically restrain him and remove him from the White House. Jesus AP, you're so much smarter than that. That will never happen. There is absolutely nothing in the world stopping Trump from staying in the White House. There is nothing that can stop him from cancelling the 2028 election or putting his son Barron up as the GOP candidate. Pieces of paper - i.e. legislation - can NOT stop anyone in the world from doing anything. Why do you refuse to acknowledge this? I don't understand. Trump is a career criminal - he doesn't obey the law; not even the Constitution and there is nobody who can physically force him to. I just said how he can be stopped - the Secret Service would remove him from the White House on the orders of the Speaker of the House (third in the line of succession) or the new President. Sorry, we're getting confused here. There won't be a new President. I'm saying there won't be an election in 2028. He cancels the election, and just stays put. Who can stop him? (Don't cite a law, please)
