This is a great day for Conservatism, the rule of law is upheld.
To the mod removing my posts, this is a pro-conservative post with a pro-conservative source. So why was the last one removed?

Presumably because the modern conservative viewpoint only favors the rule of law being applied to poor minorities and leftists.
Rich people, and especially rich whote people,care supposed to be above the law.
So by the modern standard, upholding the rule of law over a rich whote person is actually not conservative.
I’m not sure what it is then though. Maybe “woke?”

As much as I agree with you, I still want to make a good faith attempt to hear their logic so I can say I tried.
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I wouldnt call it woke, if I was more conspiracy inclined, maybe Russian style dictatorship.
Orange has positioned himself as the outsider and acts like this entire thing was a witch hunt. Convicting him didnt do much. Hell, come November, I’m still voting for the lesser of two evils, but Im not happy about it.
My bigger concern at this point is my state governer, mayor, and sheriff. Being real, they affect my day to day way than the president, and its not like the states give a shit about federal law anymore, with weed, 2a sanctuaries, illegal sanctuaries, that sort of thing.

I’m giving them an opportunity to directly state as much. I don’t expect them to, but here’s their chance.

Trump is a criminal.

God I would have loved to have been on that Jury. During the selection process when they ask "do you have any reason to be biased against the defendant?" I'd be like "Oh I recognize him! He sold steaks from The Sharper Image 20 years ago. I remember as soon as I saw the commercial I hopped in my car and tore ass to the LaGuardia airport but by the time I got there they'd been discontinued. What's he been up too since then?"

If anyone was wondering, a convict can run for president. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_V._Debs

Wild that the constitution disqualifies people with “high crimes or misdemeanors” but not felonies.
djsoren19@yiffit.net 5 months ago
Not really? Think about how dangerous it would be if all you had to do to disqualify your political opponents was parade them through a kangaroo court and send them to jail? That’s basically what Russia is.
At the end of the day, the American people should have final say in choosing their leader. Of course, this comes with the caveat that an electorate has to be willing to participate, and be able to tell when someone isn’t fit for presidency. It also comes with the asterisk that you can’t run for president after committing treason, or like an act of terrorism, but I think everyone is kinda in agreement on that.
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Imo, what should be done is no crime can disqualify you from office. That would prevent any corrupt judge from convicting candidates for political reasons.

Conservatives deserve a candidate that isn’t a felon
BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 5 months ago
I could not agree with you more.
Conceptually, a conservative presence in American politics is a good thing. Practically, well….
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not really, no. The entire philosophy of conservatism is sticking to/going back to the old ways AKA standing in the way of progress. The US has plenty of THAT from the economic elite who want to keep calling the shots without politicians helping them.
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Honestly yeah. And being under the retirement age would be nice too. Unfortunately, politicians are not great people.
