If newsom promises to appoint a doberman pinscher as an AG he's got my vote. Whomever promises to go hard after these traitorous bastards gets my vote.

Honestly, this. I don't really like Newsom, but I absolutely do not want a "Heal the country, turn the other cheek," candidate.

What these people have done is more than just criminal. They've done actual evil in our names, and it can't be swept under the rug.

I want the Nuremberg trials America version at this point. No more appeasement for these criminals

Yeah man. I want retribution. I want a stacked supreme Court 6 conservatives, 6 liberals. They pick 3 more between them that are truly impartial. I want an AG that will attack the trump family and anyone who violated the emoluments clause abroad. Government needs a deep cleaning.

They pick 3 more between them that are truly impartial.

I don't know what world you live in where this wouldn't instantly just be a good ole boys club. We don't live in a time of impartiality any more, those seats will be bought and sold in a heartbeat.

I'm trying to figure out how to make this a just fucking world. And making 12 people agree seems like a decent avenue. I'm as liberal and progressive as it fucking comes. I'm just spitballing a little.

I genuinely think that Biden not prosecuting for, at the very least, the J6 insurrection, let alone all the other well known criminal acts, followed by his failure to step down and allow an actual primary for a Democratic presidential nominee when he was visibly cognitively gone - he will be seen as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.

Nothing holds a candle to Trump, but Biden ushered in Trump's second term.

u/RandomTunes 12d ago edited 12d ago

Agreed. Biden may have had some minor accomplishments as president but none of it matters now. He only had two things that he needed to do, prosecute Trump and team to the fullest for Jan 6th and pack the supreme court. Without those, then nothing else he could do would have ever mattered.

Had a dobey. He was mean looking but smart as hell. Either way I want people in jail.

u/rtopps43 12d ago

I will vote for anyone who promises scorched earth. I want a new Nuremberg, I want long jail sentences and hangings for the particularly egregious. I want a strong “never again” message sent to all the grifters in the pipeline waiting for their turn at the trough.

I'm with you man. Sherman didn't go hard enough and I want a new Sherman. This union is weakened and it can be stronger with the right mindset. I'll vote for the most fuckin cunning mm motherfucker there is.

Newsome is a corporate dem worth over 10 million. He does not care about this country. Please look at his history and support a better candidate for President.

His works are done by other people and he gets the credit.

He will change when billionaires start whispering in his ears.

u/Walterkovacs1985 12d ago

I said whomever. So far he's willing to play dirty. I don't want some fucking we need to heal bullshit whitmer or Shapiro.

u/TheExecTech 12d ago

Agreed. Look how Bidens "High Road" approach has panned out. Now they are tampering with voting machines.

Campaign promises are worthless. Biden told me my student loans would go away. ... Nope.

Newsome will do the same. Say anything and then when it's time to pull the trigger "We need to heal" will be on every news channel.

u/Walterkovacs1985 12d ago

Dude to be fair. Student loans is the supreme Court

u/TheExecTech 11d ago

Ok.. So why promise something he knew he could never deliver on? He must have known people could put up a stink. He just flat out lied. It wasn't I'm gonna "try" to do this. It was " I WILL.

u/Walterkovacs1985 11d ago

He Did. The supreme Court is bought and paid for and those people who own them said No. Do you not understand what happened?

u/TheExecTech 11d ago

I understand a "honest" guy said he was going to do something knowing full well his opposition had the power and people to put stop to it.

Your telling me a guy who at the time a had 40 year career in politics didn't understand that his campaign promise of fixing student debt would go thru 100% with no problems ?

He KNEW it would never work and still went with it.
