Except he actually got arrested. Bit too poor probably.

Trump actually got arrested too. That's where the mug shots came from. He's been arrested, tried, and convicted. Now we just have to hope he gets imprisoned.

For that he first has to lose the election. Because for whatever reason he is still allowed to run for presidency has a realistic chance of winning and can pardon him self. Damn Murica is so fucked. I wonder how they're allowed to be called first world country with such a fucked political and jurisdictional system...

Presidential pardon don't cover everything, it only covers federal offenses, and also being eaten at thanks giving.

He's still not going to prison if he wins though, if leading an insurrection wasn't enough to remove his name from the ballot, then he will get away with anything if he wins.

Voting blue is a vote for the constitution, arguing on the internet does little compared to sending in your ballot early

Yeah I wish I could vote or have some influence over people who would vote for Trump or not at all. But I'm european, so I can mostly just hope that a large amount of muricans don't fuck everything up...

It's all ready fucked up, it's time for Americans to vote to clean things up now. The whole point of the US independence was idenpendence from a king, especially one that farts and smells
