"Lock her up!" because she's a woman and a Democrat, the bitch.
Another example of an attempted weaponization of our legal system, and they're all uniformly bad. It had nothing to do wither her gender and everything to do with the fact that highly classified documents were carelessly transmitted and stored on unsecured devices. I don't believe her actions were egregious enough to result in an arrest. Still, she should have been punished like any other cleared individual for mishandling classified material: she should have lost her security clearance. You'll note that former president Trump and President Biden have also been found to have mishandled classified documents, but only Trump was subjected to an FBI raid of his residence.

Inciting a deadly riot? That's just ignorance.
He called for a peaceful protest. It might be considered incitement, but violence and illegal behavior was not called for. I guess the riot could be called "deadly" since one person died, but that person was an unarmed female Trump supporter, and she was shot and killed by a member of the Capitol police force.

In other words, American presidents should be completely above the law, but especially if they belong to the party you happen to support.
Not at all; in fact, I was arguing the exact opposite. I do not want the weaponization of our legal system to be used to influence our elections.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I don't like Donald Trump, and I don't want him to even run for reelection, much less become president again. Democrats, Republicans, and the press should ignore Trump and his blathering. Deprive him of the oxygen of publicity that he so desperately craves.
