    The courts have at least 1,889 pages of evidence of election interference, and yet they will still leave him on the ballots for the highest office in the country.

    This right here is the very definition of lip service when it comes to justice. It’s time for America to nut up or shut up. Either way, I’m damned tired of this bullshit.

      As much as I hate it, it would be much worse if you could just accuse someone of a crime to keep them off the ballot. Someone like Trump would abuse it to accuse his opponents of crimes to have them removed. It needs to go through the court first. The issue is that’s taken far too long, and the time it takes has been increased by certain people with a bias.

        I agree that the problem is not with him being on the ballot, the problem is that it seems an enormous portion of the population of the USA are willing to vote for him.

          Yup, can’t get rid of someone like Trump if enough of the population is either willing or eager to go along with him.

      Due process exists for both the innocent and the worst out there. You want that to be there to protect you and everyone else.
