Pretty tough to watch. Not just the spinelessness, but him forcefully arguing all the reasons that Biden is bad: divisiveness and cancel culture. Because yeah, Biden won’t stop calling his opponents pedophiles, or different ethnicities “animals”, and book / history banning. Then Snusnu hides behind (some) polls putting trump ahead. Yeah because trash like you _lie and gaslight the public_. ---

Every time Republicans accuse Democrats of being “divisive”, I say “you could end the divisiveness right now by agreeing with them.” ---

When Democrats criticize neo nazis and other white supremists, they’re being divisive! When it comes to White Power! Republicans are all about the inclusion. ---

I give you the party of law & order [breaking federal law (Yahoo! news article)](https://www.yahoo.com/news/wing-broadcaster-asks-trump-fans-183107043.html): > **Right-Wing Broadcaster Asks Trump Fans In NYC To Do Something Very Illegal** > > A right-wing broadcaster is asking [Donald Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump) supporters in New York to do the wrong thing. > > The former president’s [hush money trial](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-hush-money-trial-live-updates_n_6619742ee4b084e936f11ad0)got underway on Monday, and right-wing broadcaster [Clay Travis](https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Clay%20Travis) tweeted on X to implore Trump fans in the Big Apple to commit a felony to help their fearless leader. > > Travis suggested that any Trump supporter “who is a part of the jury pool, do everything you can to get seated on the jury and then refuse to convict as a matter of principle, dooming the case via hung jury.” > > He added: “It’s the most patriotic thing you could possibly do.” So, evidently, these idiots’ definition of _patriotism_ is _whatever helps their idol avoid consequences_. To hell with the country. I like [one response](https://twitter.com/swd2/status/1779962807275954301) on Xitter to this Travis’s xit: > Maybe if the verdict doesn’t go Trump’s way, his supporters can just bash cops with flagpoles and fire extinguishers again?

> [@](#): > > Travis suggested that any Trump supporter “who is a part of the jury pool, do everything you can to get seated on the jury and then refuse to convict as a matter of principle, dooming the case via hung jury.” That would, I think, have the potential to be jury nullification. And, while I don’t understand why, I thought there’s some reason that informing a jury of jury nullification is illegal. ---
