Yeah my faith in our justice system has gotten to the point that I can only see one of two potential outcomes realistically happening with Trump's crimes:
No justice. We'll dance to this song till the day he succumbs to his decades-long hamburder induced suicide.
Vigilante justice. Collectively we don't appear to have the spine for this kind of intervention, but even if we're talking about the one-in-a-million lone wolf type of incident, we have over 300 one-in-a-millions in the US population to choose from, so I'm honestly kinda surprised we don't see this kind of shit more often. (to be clear, this is an assessment, not a recommendation)
What do you mean by "gotten"? US has forever favored the rich white people.
like geez, take a look into your history? Segregation was fine till 60-70s. Killing people in mass abroad is okay and war crimes praised and criminals elected presidents. Funding genocide? bipartisan thumbs up.
Most of us don't see that shit growing up. We're indoctrinated through our entire childhood, then slow-crash as we see example after example of a "broken" system... then finally accept that it's not broken, it's working as intended: it's evil.
I've been saying from the start that the prosecution is dragging their feet, hoping he either dies or becomes president, so they don't have to be the ones who established precedent of their social class facing justice.
Yeah, there was that one unhinged moron who actually found Nancy pelosi’s husband and attacked him with a hammer. As unhinged as that dude was, I liked that. It made me wonder why if this moron can do that, why aren’t the elites constantly getting attacked in the streets.
Good thing Wayland is finally displacing X11, open source Nvidia drivers are actually getting good, the Cosmic desktop is coming, and usershare is increasing then.
"Hmm, now which would be more advantageous to my position as someone who unfairly exploits the labour of the masses to amass himself literally billions of times more wealth than said exploited masses; a bankrupt fraudster rapist in legal trouble or someone who isn't that? "
Its fucking crazy the US sort of considers itself a bastion of democracy while not even having direct presidential elections.
He still has to pay it. He's been offered a bond which is typical and a small percentage of the total owed paid immediately to prevent further punitive action.
There's literally an industry for it (bail bonds) though arguably there shouldn't be.
He hasn't committed a crime. If he has why are there multiple real estate developers in NY willing to admit in public "I do that same crime every day if that's a crime."
Don't know about NY or multiple or if he even is a "real estate developer", but Jon Stewart made fun of a guy called Kevin O'Leary for saying so on CNN recently: https://youtu.be/EDMinX6t1Zk?t=577
It is a crime. Its fraud. Just because you and all your friends are jumping off a bridge doesn't make it not stupid. Just like how if you and everyone you know does the same fraud. Its still fraud and all of you should face the consequences. Its white collar crime. Just because its "Victim less" does not make it non serious. If your willing to throw the book at petty thieft then you should be doing the same to anyone found emptying coffers under false guise.
"Who amongst us hasn't accidentally killed a hooker and rolled her up in our hotel carpet and then placed it in our trunk and later that night thrown the body in the river? If that's a crime we're all guilty!"
