America loves its criminals. It bends over backward for them if they’re rich.
No no no. This is just a very special exception to the Rules Based International Order we’ve always had.
Normally, America is very good about prosecuting plutocrats. But this time Russia stopped us. We just have to beat Russia. Only then can we prosecute Donald Trump.
So, no laws for the rich and they aren’t even pretending.
Listen, I’ve seen this in every thread. The judges are just being extra careful so they can make sure the case doesn’t get thrown out because it’s a highly sensitive subject.
Four years just wasn’t enough time. You have to be patient about these things. Give us another Friedman Unit or two to settle things out.
/s I hope? Otherwise you know she was appointed by trump right.
They’re trying to conflate a right-wing judge’s bias with those biG bAd LibErAlS who defend Garland’s meticulous albeit slow investigation and hand-off to Jack Smith I guess.
Not sure if sarcasm or not, but after following quite a few (yes, YouTube) lawyers on this subject, I think it’s fair to say that a lot of it actually is that; Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard. last thing you want is to convict him, have fox news pull the “they made a mistake” cars, and actually be right. Once trump goes to jail, you better be sure he stays there.
Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard.
Trump is sloppy, inept, and surrounded by people who routinely rat him out.
He’s not slippery. He’s just standard-tier corrupt. That’s all it takes to defer prosecution indefinitely.
Once trump goes to jail
He’s not going to jail.
Anyway I wonder who Trump’s gonna execute on day 1. I bet there’s a list
You’re assuming Trump will win the election. He won’t.
Jesus, why do people forget that Trump lost an election while being president and while trying to tamper with it? What makes you think he will win this time?
Remember when people balked at Trump being president back in 2014/2015 and then were very surprised come 2016 when he won?
Don’t underestimate Trump
Don’t be complacent… complacency is what put him in the white house the first time
Peoples memories are short, the republican propaganda machine is huge, and trump didn’t lose decisively enough to reflect the damage he did to the country
Yes, I remember this. But people have wised up. How do I know? Because Trump lost while being a sitting president, an event that doesn’t happen often. At least in 2015/2016, a lot of people were giving him the benefit of the doubt. And it wasn’t the majority (he lost the popular vote, as we all know.)
And yet the polls pretty consistently show him ahead
Ignore the polls. Look at the trump signs around you. At least where I’m at in Florida, they’re probably at tenth of what they were in 2020. I was a republican in 2020 that voted for Biden and renounced my affiliation after the senate acquitted in the second impeachment. The only demographic that Trump is seeing increased support from is young men, a famously allergic to going to the polls group.
We should fight like hell to make it a landslide but the polls published right now are only there to drive engagement. Democrats have outperformed the polls by 5-10pts in every election since 2020.
Yeah I was wrong about a prediction I made six months ago. Before the Biden trump debate. Before the assassination attempt. Before the conventions.
You really got me.
Ladies and gentlemen, the party of law and order. We know who will be selected as the new supreme court judge soon…
Who’s the president right now? Wonder what he’s up to. Wonder if he’s fixing this. Wonder if he’s anything better than the capitalistic fascist of American conservatism.
Who’s the president right now?
Vladimir Putin, according to the memes.
I want to THANK Aileen Canon for making it LEGAL to STEAL TOP SECRET UNITED STATES DEFENSE DOCUMENTS!
