Maybe, I don’t know. Their are other factors beyond testosterone levels from what I understand. I don’t know if a year would be enough.

Frankly I just want him to be charged and convicted for the many, many crimes he’s done. Then slapped with the penalties written into those charges. Nothing cruel or unusual, literally just have the law actually do its job for once to rich man [Citation Needed].
 
You know, like how a nation that says it cares about “Law and Order” should work.

The total destruction of his legacy. His businesses dissolved. His trademarks abandoned. His properties demolished. His presidential library converted to a Taco Bell. Disowned by his business partners, political allies, and family members. Left without a penny to his name, to subsist on government cheese, if that’s still a thing.
 
I don’t ask for much.

Given that the libs rehabilitated Bush after all the shit he did, which I shouldn’t have to remind people was a lot worse than the stuff Trump did, I can easily imagine Trump being a keynote speaker at the DNC in 2025.

Bush did all that shit to Iraqis. Sucks for them, of course, but the Anbar province is worth zero electoral votes and bombing furriners is our national sport. You know how many Americans died because of Bush’s daddy issues? About 7,000.
 
That’s two days of COVID. Trumpy will not be so easily redeemed.

The virus holds no political allegiance, and even if Hillary were president or Trump less of a moron, it would’ve killed a lot of people. My point being is that Bush had a choice on killing fuckloads of brown people, torturing them in black sites, spying on everyone, and every other terrible thing he willingly signed off on.
 
What gets me is that all the terrible things Trump did were started during the Bush years. DHS and ICE putting the screws to Latin-Americans? A Bush policy excused with “muh war on terror!” More scrutiny of Muslims including American Muslims? Ditto. An abrasive foreign policy? “You’re either with us, or working for the enemy!” Little movement on social policies in America? Pandering to middle-Americans with a pathological fear of “the gays” and “socialism™️”. Bush’s answer to the uninsured was to “just go to the emergency room” and nothing substantive about preventative care.
 
That’s all horrible, but what’s obscene is how all the policies decried during the Bush years are now being brought back by the people who once protested them, and will be celebrated when Biden ramps up the surveillance state to help deal with COVID and “white/far-right terrorism” and austerity measures brought in because “the GOP sucks at budgets we can do better!”
 
All you’re doing is laying the groundwork for another Trump, except the next Trump will be a hell of a lot worse than the last Trump; hence why the last Trump will be rehabilitated and absolved of all their sins, just like Bush was rehabilitated and absolved of all his much worse sins.
 
The left sees it. The far-right sees it. The libertarians see it. Only the Brunchite/Sorkinite liberals don’t see it, and is why they’ll be blindsided when it happens again, just like they were blindsided in 2016.

This is a great example of what the smart conservatives do to insulate their followers from reality. They take real words with real meanings and turn them into code words with “insider” meaning. Free speech is (loosely) defined by the first amendment and then further refined by many decades of testing examples in the court of law. It’s a very defined legal term. But Fox “News” has caused their users to understand it as “freedom from responsibility on my part, while every platform must be forced to allow me to vent my hate/racism/etc.”
So now, to argue against these people, you have to start at the level of getting them to agree to redefine their concept of the code word “free speech”. And unless you can do that, you can’t even argue with them, because the words that you would use in a reasonable argument have already been redefined as a bullshit code word.

It would probably help if there were some well-publiscised contests to make this clear. (But then, there’s alwats the risk of bad luck…)

While it may or may not be much use now, people like that will be vital when reconstucting the police in a functional manner. Although I suppose not if they’re ruined by the existing culture…
