    I know we’re in the weirdest timeline and all but this is just too bizarre to even consider. Imagine him being incarcerated for trying to undermine democracy while being the elected head of that democracy.

      It’s already a pretty weird thing that a country as large as the US has managed to function well for 250 years with such major loopholes in its legal and executive systems and that nobody has bothered to exploit them until recently.
