Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

    This world is not fair. Pretending it ever will be, or was, is a fairy tale.

    Nobody here is doing that.

    I'm not trying to argue.

    Then what are you doing?

    I'd say that there is such a thing as a jurisdiction. Actions committed inside the range of a prosecutor's jurisdiction are eligible for prosecution by that party.

    Stating the obvious.

    The felonies are for election interference in a state that had jurisdiction. Election interference in a race for the same job he's shooting for again.

    Election interference by improperly disclosing paying hush money to a porn star about an affair that none of his supporters cared about once the news broke. Not even that he paid the money, that he didn't fill out the correct forms. Out of all the things he did, this is what the legal system felt it could prosecute him for. Does that not bother you?

    The felon is making promises to abuse the military industrial complex to a level that makes war crimes committed so far seem bashful.

    We know he's awful - the argument is why some folks are talking way more about the felony convictions than the war crimes.

    Trump was arguably on the side of fascists and has come out in praise of dictators.

    And yet he wasn't punished for that, it was for the porn start hush money. Really makes you think.

    Trump has said that NATO would be dismantled under his care

    Would have been a good thing.

    like some sort of mob collection scheme.

    Wait 'till you see NATO.

    Trump has said that Israel should step up their genocide.

    Again, not something he'd be punished for if he did. Ex 1: Joe Biden, currently aiding Israel in stepping up their genocide.

    For example: destroying lives and completely upending free and fair rule of law in Afghanistan bungling a withdrawal that left the Islamic religious terrorists in control

    The withdrawal was negotiated under Trump but executed under Biden so I don't know if you can blame him for bungling the withdrawal. Also, lmao to the idea that Afghanistan was under free and fair rule prior to the withdrawal. That which left the Islamic religious terrorists in control was, in fact, the 21-year-long bungled invasion, which you can't really hang on Trump. Again, not something he'd ever be prosecuted for anyway.

    There isn't a court to prosecute our president(s) for any defensive or offensive actions taken. There absolutely should be. Good luck getting any non-compliant nuclear powers to submit.

    What Egon said.
