Here’s a blast from the past:

(Yes, it’s real. I’m not linking it because I don’t want to give Phony Stark the traffic.)

e: Antifascist link: https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/347191326112112640?lang=en

Thanks, @LodeMike!

It seems I can only search by username and I’m not sifting through all his posts to find it. Thanks, though!

You should be able to just swap out the domain name.

Did it work? https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/347191326112112640?lang=en

It’s loading weird for me, maybe because I’m on mobile?

Thanks! I updated my comment.

Which is a felony.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Soooooo….. prison, right? That’s admitting that a felony was committed.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He's already a convicted felon, and yet he remains free.

If you're referring to the Logan act, nobody has ever been convicted under it in more than two centuries, and it's probably unconstitutional. Is it bad that Trump chats with Putin? Absolutely. It is a crime? Unlikely.

Not only remains free, but is potentially going to be the president once again.

GET OUT AND VOTE!

It's not denying a felony was committed. That isn't the same thing, legally speaking.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 34 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Well, I won’t comment on that, but I will tell you that: if I did, it’s a smart thing.

In other words, he did.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Well, how else would Putin give him orders?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Makes sense. Fat Gollum can't resist the call of his Precious.
