      That would be quite the look for the US.

      In fact, it’s already quite the look, with him being the leading candidate of his party. Madness.

        Man, a sitting president in prison would be almost the perfect embodiment of American symbolism. Only thing to make it more so would be if he was in prison for shooting up an elementary school while holding a Bible and screaming “USA USA” from a mobility scooter, all while the police gave him a standing occasion from atop the back of a choked-out black man.

        Man, as a veteran of that same country, this whole situation makes me wonder what it was for… I’m waiting for all of this to make sense.
