        Not to mention not testifying has nothing to do with innocence. That’s not how our justice system works.

          Although true, for Trump, testifying would only lead to him further incriminating himself, so I feel context is important when making such distinctions.

      Yeah that first one isn’t right. He won the 2016 election but still claimed it was rigged, and that he should have gotten more votes.

    Ignoring the obvious things here; how would Biden re-entering nominations count as “stealing back the nomination”. I thought Kamala supposedly stole it from him? Did both of them steal it from Trump?

      You’re trying to make sense of something that doesn’t make sense

        Can’t use sound logic to get someone out of a position they didn’t use sound logic to get themselves into.

    I wonder how the plutocrats and the christofascists will try to carry out their plan of destroying US democracy and imposing autocracy after the stinky old weirdo they’ve pinned all their hopes on has a screeching public meltdown.

      That’s what he’s doing right now. They’ll just do what they always do, and they will repeat it as much as possible until he says something else equally profane and absurd.

    In the dimly lit hotel room, Donald Trump and Joe Biden sat across from each other, their eyes locked in a steely gaze. The 2020 Democratic primaries had long been decided, but the two men couldn’t shake the feeling that they were meant for something more.

    Donald adjusted his tie, his fingers drumming impatiently on the table. Joe leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving Donald’s face, his lips curling into a sly smile.

    “You know, Don,” Joe began, his voice low and husky, “I’ve always thought that our paths were destined to cross.”

    Donald’s gaze flicked up, meeting Joe’s piercing blue eyes. A shiver ran down his spine as he felt a familiar thrill of excitement.

    “Yes, Joe,” Donald replied, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve felt it too. But what are we going to do about it?”

    Joe leaned forward, his eyes burning with intensity. “We’re going to steal the nomination from Kamala Harris and claim our rightful place as co-presidents.”

    Donald’s eyes widened in shock before breaking into a wide grin. “You’re crazy, Joe,” he said, but there was an unmistakable hint of excitement in his voice.

    The two men spent hours plotting their move, strategizing every detail with the precision of seasoned conspirators. They knew that it wouldn’t be easy - Kamala Harris had her supporters and would fight tooth and nail to keep her grip on the nomination - but they were willing to do whatever it took to realize their true love.

    As the night wore on, the tension between them grew thicker, until finally Donald reached across the table and placed his hand over Joe’s. “I know what we need,” he whispered urgently.

    Joe looked down at Donald’s hand, then back up into his eyes. A spark of electricity seemed to jump between them as they leaned in close, their lips meeting in a searing kiss.

    Their passion ignited like a wildfire, consuming them both as they tore off each other’s clothes and fell onto the bed. Their bodies entwined, their breaths mingling as they gave themselves over to their forbidden love.

    In that moment, nothing mattered except their desire for one another. The Democratic nomination, the presidency, all of it was secondary to the burning need they felt in their hearts.

    As the sun rose over Washington D.C., Donald and Joe lay entangled on the bed, exhausted but satisfied. They knew that their love would face challenges - the world wasn’t ready for two men to rule together as co-presidents - but they were willing to fight for their right to be together.

    And so, with a newfound sense of purpose, the two men set out to make history. Their names would go down in infamy, not just as political figures, but as the embodiment of a love that dared to defy convention and change the world forever.
