U.S. presidents cannot be prosecuted for selling pardons or assassinating political rivals through SEAL Team Six, personal Trump lawyer John Sauer argued Tuesday.

      When Trump was president, he made it well known he was jealous of kings/dictators/autocrats and how they don’t need to fuss around too much with pesky concepts like democracy and separation of State powers.

      They want us to believe that he’s infallible… like some kind of deity or messiah it’s just so fucking laughable. He doesn’t even try to argue his innocence anymore

      Most of them don’t understand anything. They are just rooting for their team repeating what they think sounds smart.

      A few of them know that a president isn’t a king. But they don’t want a president. They want a king. And they don’t care how many people that hurts. As long as it makes them more powerful in the process. These are the guys that are feeding the “smart” sounding lines to the majority who are just supporting the team.
