I always see this guy quoted, but is he taken seriously by anyone?

What? A president cannot pardon state charges. People appeal state charges all the way to the Supreme Court pretty frequently. That’s one of the reasons they exist. However I hope The Rapist dies in prison.

I am assuming he will die before he could be convicted of anything and this will all be for nothing.

At least the rapist will be kept busy having to grift donations to pay his legal fees and will have to live the rest of his rapist life under multiple criminal indictments if he dies before he is convicted. I can live with that.

question is - will he have a state funeral?

I mean - he already "lied in state (of GA)". but you get what I mean.

You are doing legitimate damage, not to Trump, but to our country. I can’t imagine ever voting for a Democrat, or even at all, anymore. It’s shameful.

How does upholding the rule of law damage the United States?

It strengthens us and everything our nation stands for.

You are not “upholding the law”, dimwit. You are cheering on the destruction of a political enemy. You are terribly wrong if you think people are going to move on from this stuff. You are doing lasting damage to the confidence of a substantial portion of the population in the government and other institutions, all because you’re too brain dead to realize that the people on MSNBC telling you to be excited about this are themselves idiots.

If you break the law you face the consequences. He broke the law. And the feelings of a "substantial portion of the population" do not change that.

If he's not guilty, you have nothing to worry about. He'll be acquitted. Hell he might be acquitted even if he is guilty. This is Georgia.

No, moron. The prosecution alleges he broke the law. They have not proven that. If you had an IQ above room temperature, or any shred of intellectual honesty, you might get that.

Yes our lying eye did not see J6. This is the end. Bet he flees the country.

I live near the Capitol and saw lots. You know who I didn’t see there? Donald Trump.

He literally grabbed the steering wheel of the Beast to try to get there and the Secret Service refused to allow him. It wasn't for lack of trying.

OMG, seriously?

Yes, seriously
