    I meant the hypothetical in which Trump’s “immunity” defense is upheld, libs love to powerfantasy about what Biden could do with this sort of “immunity” but history tells us that when Dems can choose whether or not to be restrained, they choose restraint, even if it means the GOP gets to hurt everyone.

      Yeah, the quote wasn’t actually a literal suggestion, it was pointing out the absurdity in a way that a conservative could understand it without having to make it directly about them.

      All politicians are at the same time self serving and for sale to some extent or they’d never successfully get into politics.

      But one side gets off on punishing people from the other side, and the gays, the poor, and the minorities. I generally put those guys down as the bad guys when I’m checking off boxes.

      That orange jack wagon parading around how he’s going full dictator for a day to punish everyone. It’s one thing to be a sell out, to back a position for the favor of the people that donate the most to your cause, it’s another to try to come to power by proudly claiming all the people you want to hurt.

      The people backing him campaigning that way, they are not good people.
