      This just proves his intent to deceive his followers about the election results. It’s what makes him criminally liable for their actions on January 6th.

        I agree and understand your point. I have hope but also have seen it too many times. Criminal liability doesn’t do much in politics if we aren’t willing to hold power to account.

        It’s been on full display since 2016. He heavily implied that he would not accept defeat if he lost that election. I remember this interaction due to how strange it was and until this whole 2020 thing happened, I laughed it off as some weird bravado thing. To add to this… he even claimed that his popular vote was lost because of illegal voting.

          Not making it about you, but people not taking him seriously and playing down the celebrity factor and his stated intent as ‘a joke’ were part of the reason why they won in 16 and 24.

          Edit: spelling

            I totally agree. If voting illegally was actually a thing, I would’ve illegally voted against him a million times in 2016.

    The case was already dropped, why are we still talking about this? All the other BS going on, this is the least of his problems.

      He was deposed by Congress and the video was released yesterday. No doubt Bondi will try to do yet another retaliatory made up charge in retribution, so he’ll be in the news regardless.

      Yea why should we resist an illegal fascist dictatorship? It’s rather rude to not roll over and take it.

      This is a pretty big thing that led to “all the other BS” so shouldn’t it be scrutinized?
