How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!

          The sentencing happens before he has any power.

          Plus, any state charges can’t be pardoned by a president.

        Trump won’t even be alive in 4 years. He looks like he’s knocking on heaven’s door right now. We’re going to have Vance the Couch Fucker as president.

          Heavens door thats pushing it?

          I think vance is just playing an excellent political game. If u read his wikepedia he is actually quite progressive on many things.

Rules (interactive)

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
