    yeah and only in our wonderful country this schmuck is allowed to run for office from jail. I thought you can’t run for president after ur third indictment which he certainly has.

      For some reason the founding fathers didn’t anticipate that someone running from prison could ever become president. To be fair, before this fuckin clown, nobody else did either.

      There’s nothing in the Constitution that says you can’t run from prison (Eugene V. Debs did it in 1920), and it also says nothing about three indictments.
