A newly-released FBI document details disturbing allegations that Trump struck a teen girl after she "bit the sh*t out of" his penis in an assault facilitated by Jeffrey Epstein.
Question:
How can a person who has these type of documents and accusations about them ever be allowed to run for any type of political position? Let alone become the president of a country (twice)?
Come on. That lady didn’t believe exactly everything I believed. How could I vote for someone who is not only a female, but someone who didn’t believe exactly what I believed!?!?
It’s because legally, having a criminal record doesn’t disqualify you from running. There isnt anything preventing this. Most likely its to help prevent a minor mishap from long ago condemning your future abilities (otherwise, you’d have all sorts of small charges against every politician to destroy their career. It would make the worst blackmail material).
Now, morally why did enough people vote for him anyway is a whole different issue that I don’t have an answer for.
It’s also so that someone can’t weaponize law enforcement on their political opponents. So let’s say you’re president. You come after me on a bogus charge. I’ve now got a record. I can no longer run against you.
Crazy to me, that, this is all true, I can become the president, can’t vote for it. Assuming it’s a felony.
Edit: I have educated myself, and this is not the case. I am not a felon, do not have any experience lol I’ve just, incorrectly, heard, that you can’t vote if you’re a felon.
I know loads of adults with no “minor mishaps.” It’s not just normal to have a criminal record, they had no reason to do that. They just assumed no one was dumb enough to vote for criminals
I’ve spend the past three years trying to get people to investigate the sexual and physical abuse of children in Oklahoma, including some child trafficking. No one cares or wants to do anything about it. More people than we want to admit are okay with children being raped and abused as long as they are a certain type of child (foster kids usually.)

But you don’t understand, the only other choice we had was a lady…
And she was black or something
And she might drag the entire country into a pointless war on a whim, just because she felt like it
She could get her period and randomly abduct a foreign leader!
Better half penis than no penis at all! /s

Morally, I agree entirely.

Yeah, felonies are more complicated and on a per state basis. A lot of media has flattened it into this binary thing.

even if you are imprisoned. there was this discussion that trump could serve as president from a jail cell.
Sure but that is easily fixed by making certain crimes bar you from running for example, being a pedo
First time in the USA?
Because the “opposition” still thinks waving signs and doing parades counts as “action”
A considerable amount of the American general public is criminally ignorant, willfully terrible, or both.
Good portion of people don’t give a shit.

Because they were kept secret by his accomplice.
