    I’m beginning to think RawStory exaggerates their headlines for clicks. An organization has asked a court to arrest them, a FAR cry from facing immediate arrest.

    “There’s nothing special about Trump and Vance that entitles them to get away with what they’ve done and are doing,” the attorney added. “They think they’re above the law. They’re not.”

    Except for the Senate Republicans who would not hold their own accountable for crimes they committed or the federal supreme Court Justice feeding Trump’s attorney legal advice to use in the lower courts. And the billions in PAC funds and trinket grifts used to campaign for politicians and appoint judges who are loyal to them above the Constitution and citizens. And anything Trump did as president is legal if he says it was part of the job. Except for those facts sure they’re just like you or me in the eyes of the law.

      I believe this would be a state issue though, so some of that doesn’t apply.

      Yeah, you can’t even pretend that Trump isn’t above the law when the Supreme Court has literally ruled that he is at their discretion.

        Technically the ruling was for crimes official acts he committed while in office.

        He’s no longer president and holds no privilege, except being the Republican nominatee for President. Which apparently is a protected class.

          Correct. Regardless, it has been codified that he IS above the law in some cases. Slippery slope is not a fallacy in this instance.

    Organization seeks ‘immediate arrest’ of Trump and Vance over Springfield hoax

    Fixed the title. I read nothing to suggest that Trump or Vance are currently in any danger of being arrested in Springfield, Ohio.

      All the lawfare makes me more likely to vote for Trump every day.

      Seeing the existing power structure try all this anti democratic bullshit to take him down makes me think he must have something they don’t.

          No no no. He was totes “undecided” until this one issue. As soon as the next issue crops up, he’ll again switch from undecided to trump. He will continue this trend as long as he thinks someone will be convinced. He’s the common clay of the new west and he will be heard.

    Well that’s one way to keep them out of your city while campaigning. Can we do that here in MI? I’m sick of them being here every week.

    Yeah of course they do. Nobody is surprised that the DNC is desperate to take these guys down legally.

    Trump has faced two assassins in seven weeks for fuck’s sake. They’re desperate.
