In a rare public address, former president said US is experiencing ‘dark days’ and urged Americans to vote
Joe Biden has warned that his presidential successor, Donald Trump, will attempt to “steal” the midterm elections, in a rare public address.
Speaking in South Carolina, where he was being honored for his lifetime achievement in politics, Biden also asserted that the US is experiencing “dark days”, in a speech made hours before the Trump administration launched attacks on Iran.
Reprising a line from the 2020 campaign that saw him defeat Trump and end Trump’s first presidency, Biden told the crowd at the Columbia Museum of Art on Friday that the “battle for the soul of this nation is one that’s never really over”. He simultaneously criticized Trump’s plan to introduce potentially prohibitive voting requirements ahead of the midterms.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the reason we don’t put people like ex presidents in prison cuz there’s a higher chance they’ll get petty and leak info to another country or is that just an excuse I heard by people trying to justify it?
Trump’s bathroom leaks information, regardless of whether Trump is prosecuted.
Excuse, for sure. There’s any number of slimy “protect the rich and powerful” excuses all over the place. Fuck all the excuses, no one is above the law and no one gets to hold the country hostage.
I get that I just wasn’t sure if it’s like that’s why they don’t stay in prison but still get charged with felonies. I do wish we could choose to punish political opponents tho like public hanging if convicted
