The other two you mentioned are still in power and have some measure of protection because they are still in elected office. As far as Trump being Trump, remember that Joe Biden also took what didn't belong to him and stored it next to his corvette but there was no FBI raid on his house.
Lol.
Pence was also not in power, also had documents, and no raid. Pence and Biden turned over everything on the first request, Trump did not. It's just Trump.
We shouldn’t rely on generals to protect American democracy from its elected civilian leaders. Either voters need to give a damn about their democracy or they can live with the authoritarian consequences. Granted, I think the majority of voters care. Unfortunately, the popular vote doesn’t determine who leads the executive branch. Which is why voters need to overwhelmingly vote for Biden. Don’t even give the EC a chance… or the GOP controlled House… a chance to destroy American democracy.
Don't give the Electoral College the chance to destroy American democracy? It is really saying something that you represent public education. We have a system that has worked for more than two centuries, and in this most recent election proved exactly how robust it makes us in the face of exactly the types of populist movements it is designed to protect against, and you demand that it be stopped. Unbelievable.
I would like some sort of response from AL about this one.
he won’t. Because his escape from defending Trump (and being revealed to looked like a hypocrite… again) is an attempt to debate with me over what the founding fathers intended when they slapped the EC into the process of electing president. He’s not an honest or good faith actor. He just likes getting folks riled up. And if more people ignored him for the obvious contrarian that he is, he wouldn’t get the shot of dopamine anymore from irritating people on here.
Why? What is it exactly that you think Pence has done, in One Brow's words, "to damage the progressive agenda"? I think he was mostly inert towards the progressive agenda, but still the FBI did conduct a 5 hour search of his residence. The biggest difference is the FBI contacted Pence's lawyers first to inform Pence they were coming, but the FBI never did anything like that to the previous VP immediately after he left office or they would have found boxes of classified documents next to his corvette.
You made a point that the justice system is going after trump but isn't going after Biden for doing the same thing (even though they didn't do the same thing) which apparently shows how the justice system is biased against conservatives.
I'm going to try this again. The FBI did a 5 hour search of former VP Pence's home after he left office, but they did not do a search of former VP Biden's home when he left office. The difference between former VP Biden and former VP Pence is that one was on the political right. That is not fair treatment. It is a bias in law enforcement against the political right.
Wrong they actually searched Biden house longer than pence house
