    How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they’ll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that’s why.

    I know you’re making a political point, but tbh, I thought Lemmy would have a better take on criminal justice

      Equally petty, but I don’t associate crime with being a bad person.

      Speeding is a crime. Drug use is a crime. Evading draconian copyright laws is a crime…

        Totally agree. But I think depending on the type of speeding you do can make you a bad person.

        Do you consider them your friends if they steal from you? Lie to you? Lie about you and have you put in prison?

        I don’t consider drugs or speeding crimes either - but these aren’t the crimes I speak of when relating to trump.

        And stealing, no matter what you think of copyright laws, is never a good thing… even if done with good intention.

      Actually not political although I’m referring to the orange traitor. How many friends in your life steal from you and lie to you and you still call them friends?
