But instead we just lock up the criminal, because it’s cheaper.
Except, in the long run, it’s not. It’s only cheaper within the scope of one or two election cycles. Over the long haul, weighing the costs and economic benefits of making person a productive member of society again, it’s way cheaper to do that.

I don’t think I understand. Even using a third party app, you still have a discord account and all of your messages are still stored on discord servers and associated with that account. What privacy are you gaining?

I’m getting an error at that link.
My first modem was 33,600 bps
Heh. 300bps for me, and I didn’t have any storage for my Vic-20, so had to retype in the terminal software from the back of the modem manual every time I turned the computer on. Those were the good old days. 🤣
Before FB, just getting an email from someone that they forwarded from someone else was enough for some people to accept whatever the email said as absolute fact and forward it again to everyone they knew.
That’s not going to stop him from calling it a witch hunt. The whole of humanity could witness his crimes with their own eyes and he would still claim he’s being persecuted.
My understanding is yes, he can even run if convicted and in prison. https://prisoninsight.com/can-you-run-for-president-in-prison/
