It’s so funny how he took a massive dump on the legal system and got away with murder and the libs are like “damn, how could this happen?!” gee wiz I really don’t know, oh well!

I’m sorry, not to give any respect to due process for prosecution but
That’s insane. So I could commit a crime and just win an election in order to get out of punishment? Winning an election doesn’t negate a crime…
Yeah it does, evidently.
The thing is that criminal head of state has been the go to to paint other countries in a negative light for ages. If an important person gets convicted of anything it obviously means that country and their system is shit, because otherwise criminals wouldn’t hold offices.
Well, the guy won the vote and I don’t think it’s in the power or mission statement of that court to change any of that, hence the only other option is to give him special privileges as to not be punished.
I mean, this was basically why the Supreme Court handed Bush the presidency. “It’d be really sad if the president had his feefees hurt by people thinking he wasn’t legitimate 🥺”
The pitfalls of directly electing presidents. You make them politically irreplaceable. At least in parliamentary systems the ruling party can relatively easily change the PM.
