At what point is Giuliani going to be labeled a foreign agent? About a week after the election probably but by that point Trump will have won so oh well. I want to know the odds on him actually ordering Biden to be arrested for this pre election. The fact that it's a non-zero chance is concerning

Arrested for what?
At no point in time has anyone actually leveled anything criminal against him. Even if he actually did everything he's accused of, there's no actual crime. You can't impeach someone after their out of office. Trump and his nuts just live in lala land thinking anyone they don't like is automatically a criminal and can be arrested. Even the rest of the GOF isn't that insane. They probably wish this whole thing would just go away. It does nothing but call attention back to Trump himself and his dealings, which is why they all but dropped this line of attack months ago and put minimal effort into it to pander to the base.

I'm just glad they made a sequel to "but her EMAILS". It doesn't matter what's true, all that matters is that Barr proclaims another investigation in grandiose style that will go nowhere with a whisper just before the election. Isn't that the angle they should be working towards...

So would it be impossible for him to direct Barr to arrest him? Or with all the powers the Executive has over there that they're just not meant to use/not meant to be how they behave, is it actually doable. Because the one thing we've learned is "if he can do it, and it thinks it'll help him, he will"

Technically Drumpf can’t order someone arrested. The justice department is supposed to be separate. In reality Barr is one of Trump’s sycophants and generally works towards whatever Drumpf wants. There Have been lines that Barr has refused/hesitated to cross though, and outright arresting people has been one so far. He’s opened all the investigations, but when they invariably come up empty he’s not acted against them.

Trying to arrest Biden is clearly a step too far and would squander his presidency at this point. If he really wants to go for an autocracy he needs more time to wreck and change the US government.

Well I just had to listen to 2 Trumptards in my plant talking about how Biden is going to be arrested and how much they would love for it to happen. This countrys turn to authoritarianism is being made so much easier by these idiots. I really don't know how I am going to handle working in a place like this if Orange Julius wins again. Is Canada letting US citizens in yet?

This is not audio trickery. This actually happened.

So the new insult to Biden is to call him "Mr. Rogers". As someone who grew up watching Mr. Rogers, if someone thinks that's insult then that's all I need to know their not worth saving.

Have to agree, it's kinda interesting to use the name of a guy who is more or less the modern-day cultural equivalent of a saint as an insult.

Fox started demonizing Mr Rogers a few years ago. He's a literal man of god FFS. W.T.F. How the hell does one demonize one of the best human beings to ever have lived? I mean, if we were all even just 10% as good and decent as he was, this world would be a near paradise. This is the first I've heard about this and I'm literally tearing up at the thought of it.
