Fuck Andrew Yang.




I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.

Trump is under investigation. His involvement in a plot to overthrow the duly elected president has been clearly presented. He is also accused of mishandling highly classified information, which is a separate crime.

The FBI and DOJ are conducting a legitimate operation.

People need to shut the fuck up if they don't have the facts.

TFG broke our laws, and he continues to break them every day.

Are you saying he shouldn't face legal consequences because he has a large, radical fanbase?

Do we just let him go his merry way?

"Oh noes, it will tear the country apart if the former guy is held responsible for his crimes. His supporters won't stand for it!"

So, the more numerous supporters of the president can just go piss up a rope? We're not entitled to see justice done on a criminal because the criminal's rabid supporters won't like it? Where is the country of laws not men I've heard so much about? Because what Yang is talking about isn't the United States.

He shows himself to be a fucking moron with each passing day.

Since he apparently doesn't want to go back to working a real job, just go full MAGA mode and grift those sweet, sweet fascist funds from those brainwashed Fox """News""" viewers. Whatever shred of dignity he may have once had, it's been long gone at this point. Just go full MAGA grifter at this point, dude. We know your lazy ass wants to.

That’s unfortunate as he had potential and meaningful representation of Asian American community in national politics. And now he flushed it down the drain by revealing his true colors - that he is actually not smart.

but he is a very talented individual in certain areas even if politically and interpersonally a total dumbo. Andrew Yang has (or had) political ambitions by running for president and everything he says is scrutinized. Democrats hold politicians to a higher standard and rightly so.

That the FBI went to a judge seeking a warrant. Obtained the warrant.

He can't be that stupid to think they half assed it or cut corners going after an ex-president.

of course they will go along with what TFG says, so there's nothing genius about this observation.

Because that's the only thing that matters.

Is he saying that he’s against the raid or that he just feels from an optics standpoint that many cultists will be enraged and are triggered and trying to affirm what TFG claimed to stand for?

I want cuffs on TFG just like everybody else here does. You can’t say the base is unmotivated or is lacking enthusiasm/energy after last night.
