Reddit /r/PoliticalHumor

A few things from Reddit’s political humor channel:

Of course, now even Trump admits that he talked to the president of the Ukraine about investigating Biden. But the White House continues to claim that a sitting president not only cannot be prosecuted, they cannot even be investigated.

If the president is completely above the law, how is that different from being a dictator? If he can pressure a foreign country to interfere in a US election, why can’t he just throw his political opponents in jail like other dictators do?

    If the president is completely above the law, can we still assassinate the traitor? Asking for a former democracy.

    Interestingly, Bill Weld said this morning on “Morning Joe” that Trump had committed treason, pure and simple, and that the penalty is death. Pretty serious comment from a pretty serious political figure.

    Trump’s campaign manager stated this was the beginning of a decades long dynasty. I stated Trump was a traitor and after the trial should be marched out in front of a firing squad, I volunteered to take part. Only one person, in the group at the VA hospital, took offense.

    Trump wants to be a dictator just like Hitler. Getting rid of anyone not white.
    Remind his followers that the first thing Trump will do as a dictator will be to send “his” army to confiscate door to door all weapons so the country can’t rise up against him. The constitution will be thrown out the window. No more second amendment
