Lawyers aren't entering in to remembering how old your kid is, I'm just saying I've been there so I give him a pass on that one. Only that one though. :) The rest of his fuckery is on him.

Lawyers are arguing legal technicalities because that’s what lawyers do, because that’s how they win cases.

And, excuse me, but where have you been? Paying off a porn star to rig an election? Actually rigging an election? Or throwing a coup because you fucked up rigging the election?

Or just watching it all on Newmax and YouTube, where “content creators” tell you it’s all “deep state lies”? Lmao … meanwhile the Jan 6 convictions continue

Ya know, I really have very little patience who wanna “give a pass” to the likes of bigoted, neo-fascist, narcissistic con men like Trump. There’s no reason and rational person would argue this unless they’re a follower and believe they have something to gain, and you certainly haven’t made anything close to a convincing argument. The best you have offered is that you also such and shouldn’t president, to which I have no argument, but it doenst really help Trump in any way, sooo….

I think we’re done here.

You're reading far too into it. The person said that they are willing to let him pass on this specific mistake. The person is not saying that they forgive Trump.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ok, even if I’m reading too much into it, my position is still that Trump doesn’t deserve any forgiveness for this.

Personally, I do not care at all about birthdays or specific ages. To me, this feels like a nothing story to keep eyes on Trump.
