Trump’s pitch to Libertarian voters is that if he's re-elected, he’ll push for Ross Ulbricht’s life sentence to be commuted.

**"However, during his 2024 re-election campaign announcement two years ago, Trump called on Congress to pass a law mandating the death penalty for drug dealers."**

Whistleblower Chelsea Manning was initially sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013 for leaking classified documents. But in one of his last moves in office, former President Barack Obama commuted her sentence.

She was released on May 17, 2017, after serving about 7 years of her original sentence in isolation and excessively harsh conditions.

**In response to Manning’s first column for The Guardian since her commutation, Trump tweeted that Manning was an “ungrateful traitor” and should “never have been released.”**

Trump will say anything to get re-elected. He is an authortarian xenophobe, a twice impeached former President who has faced multiple legal proceedings.

Even now, as someone eloquently put it:

**"He is not being prosecuted in the middle of his campaign.

He is campaigning in the middle of his prosecutions."**

It’s a psyop.

I don't trust politicians in general, but I especially don't trust Trump. He is a pathological liar, a danger to democracy, who has given the American people far too many reasons not to.

We need another candidate to choose from. The window is closing, but there's still time.

If it comes down to picking my poison, it sure as hell won't be Trump.

Someone should put a banana up for election.

It would be great to see both Trump and Biden’s cognitive abilities shown lacking by an inanimate yellow fruit.

go banana

And when the banana is not going so well we can make milkshake.

Win/win

Honestly, it was not Chelsea Manning who was sentenced but CHELSEA MANNING. If you know about natural law, it is not the same.

I do. Well said.

Thanks for spitting out the truth. He panders to libertarians for 30 seconds and suddenly everyone is so gullible

It's remarkable really.

You're right, but there's no political way out of it.

Like Anonymous said, who the president is matters not. The people who are really in charge are not elected officials.

Their power is derived by desire. Specifically, the desire we have for what they can provide. All we have to do is not want what they have, and they will have nothing, because, they don’t provide something. They provide the illusion of something.

It doesn't make as big a difference as people think, but a president who won't leave office and has authoritarian fantasies can still be problematic. They can definitely make things worse during their four years in office with the influence they do have.

However, they're not the ones truly in control. Their agenda will ultimately be set by "a collection of unelected figures who have life-long careers in intelligence agencies." And absolutely, "The system will continue to operate as it always has, regardless of who is chosen to be the temporary spokesperson for the ruling class."

It’s not even that. Control the money, control the world. The central banking cartel makes the decisions. They control all the corporations, own all the politicians and media, make all the rules. They operate in the shadows and we’ll never know their names, like they don’t even exist. They start wars. They end wars. They decide the outcomes of the wars. Now that Bitcoin and nostr exist, this is the first time in history that we have a chance to fight back.

Do you really think Trump will try to not leave office? Do you really think Trump has authoritarian fantasies?

Absolutely, he is a disgrace, but his senile "opponent" isn't really a better choice, that's the crazy part!

In some ways it looks like those two reflect the status of society...
