What's even funnier is that his base believes him. Total denial!

All a smokescreen for "ooh shiny, look away from those Epstein files".

Why can't Europeans resist talking about American politics?

Also, "projection" and "double standards" are a tool for both parties.

Yeah, that's even more absurd than the double standards themselves.

Knowing what everyone on the planet believes is some super power.

Cue the classic Norm Macdonald clip.

Yet "both sides" analogy doesn't really work that well when the other guy who is currently the president wants to prosecute people claiming they have done what he himself has done.

Can't help but laugh at the irony when Trump is out there calling it a treasonous conspiracy to undermine election results. Pretending he didn't do exactly that himself in 2020 and 2021.

I wonder if republicans understand most of them need to be Baker acted

I've never seen such projection before, the double standards are absolutely insane.

Why is it always the case with these MAGA folks that it's "rules for thee but not for me"? I honestly don't understand how someone can defend this. It makes no sense.

Trump should have been locked up Jan 7, 2020. His answer to democrats is to jail them so they will be afraid to oppose his lawlessness, be it Hillary, Biden or Obama. But at the end of the day none of them including Trump will ever serve a day. Not only do they escape justice, they are free to grant freedom to anyone they choose, As Trump did with the insurrectionists. It's only a matter of time before MAGAS will go after democrats without fear of facing long sentences. Nice example for the free world.

That too but they couldn't even come up with a coherent strategy that isn't based on double standards and nonsense. Though it's not too surprising.

Well there were loud warnings about Trump going after the political opponents and seeking revenge that were issued during the election season. Seems like those warnings were not unwarranted at all, given the current situation and what the administration is doing...

This story was exciting at first but, as per TACO, nothing is going to happen besides Trump talking smack. Basically "Lock Her Up" all over again.

Interestingly, Trump was asked about Hillary after the election in 2017 and he basically said that he did leave her alone because she's the wife of a former president.

Just goes to show Trump's mindset - he does think people in power ought to be above the law. Not saying Trump had a legitimate case against Hillary but the mere fact that he thinks that's a reason to not hold someone accountable says a lot.

"We would just be sending in 'alternative' electoral votes to Pence so that 'someone' in Congress can make an objection when they start counting votes, and start arguing that the 'alternative' votes should be counted".

His lawlessness? Accusations not only never proven, but debunked lead to cases against him being thrown out, which in doing so shows it was an effort to undermine the election and aid his opponent. Even the one case that did lead to a conviction is going to get overturned if it reaches a federal court not aligned with the DNC. So yeah, maybe some of these other politicians should be held accountable for corruption and abuse of power. The feds even admitted they knew the information they used to get a warrant to spy on Trump's campaign was false, and used it under false pretenses. That alone is worse than anything Nixon did.

The whole Epstein thing is getting to him, people just need to keep bringing it up, never let him or his family forget.
