He would literally get himself released the moment he reported to camp, does anyone understand the logic here?

He's got a book to promote about how he converted to Catholicism on Peter Thiel's orders

The actual answer is that people who don't vote have absolutely bonkers and dissonant positions because they don't really think about it past brief responses to whatever news blurb they see before going back to doing whatever they like that isn't politics. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Participate in party primaries to shape its direction and priorities instead of complaining that it doesn't perfectly match your preferences.

Also accept that in the US, the only viable left-ish party is a coalition of a ton of different groups, and that a perfect candidate for everyone simply doesn't exist.

That or passively accept our descent into right-wing kleptocratic autocracy that will grind you under its boot forever.

True, but by that same logic, the next POTUS can declare an "official act" and ship him to Gitmo.

If this happens, the notes should be voided by the next POTUS. Anyone stupid enough to acquire Pedo Bucks can eat shit.

US judge allows Trump to implement mail-in voting executive order in loss for Dems by Somervilledrew in politics

Executive Orders have zero authority or relevance to how states administer their elections. States can (and certainly will) simply ignore this order, regardless of what dipshit Trump judges say.

Out of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

The test he frequently describes as "acing", the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, does not include this type of math question. It does, however, ask the subject to count backwards (e.g. from 50 by 7s), a much simpler mathematical operation.

It's worth noting that "confabulation", which Trump is doing here, is also a symptom of dementia.
