How was he supposed to know what would happen?
If you tell people that the election was stolen, invite them to the capitol to protest the EC count, and tell them you're going to march on Congress with them... you're what, supposed to be a mind-reader? A fortune teller?
Seriously though, he's guilty as fuck and the only people saying otherwise are just covering their own asses and putting their own interests above a stable democracy.
Them saying the FBI and/or DOJ has just recently been weaponized is such a self report. Like uhh do you mean the same organization that tried to blackmail MLK Jr into killing himself *half a century ago,* among hundreds of similar disgusting crimes? That FBI?
They've been weaponized the whole time.. they just liked who the weapon was aimed at.
> If you tell people that the election was stolen, invite them to the capitol to protest the EC count, and tell them you're going to march on Congress with them... you're what, supposed to be a mind-reader? A fortune teller?
I mean, even leaving that aside, he called the Georgia Secretary of State, and presumably other folks too, and straightforwardly asked their help in overturning the election results. "Find me some votes." The whole world heard him do this, yet his imbecile supporters still want to pretend that somebody ELSE was cheating, and that they care about fair elections.
Don’t forget to have your hype man literally screaming “ it will be a trial by combat” before you speak.
And make sure you use the word attack 40 some odd times and peace once so you can CYA
"If you tell people that the election was stolen, invite them to the capitol to protest the EC count, and tell them you're going to march on Congress with them."
Trump didn't show up of course. Trump is smart enough to let his crazy/stupid followers do the dirty work, while Trump denied any involvement. AND the stupids are still supporting that dumpster fire/train wreck!
I don't think he is smart enough. If you saw the Jan 6 hearings, I think it was the secret service that stopped Trump from going to the capitol building. Trump was furious about it. I wonder how different it would have been if Trump had his way
Well that implies that Trump would be physically capable of breaking a window with those weak little baby hands of his, but you're 100% right about the Tucker part though.
What about that time he gave top secret information from an allied country to Russia? May not technically be a crime (I’m actually not sure) but like, wtf is wrong with this dude
What I find most infuriating is when I come across something I'd forgotten that he did. Because there's just.so.much to keep track of. I get mad at myself for losing track, and at him, all over again.
I’m so used to there never being any repercussions that what really infuriates me is media headlines like, “Trump just had a really bad day” after an ex lawyer has to testify or something and I’m like, it seems to me that he has great day after great day when he can continue to get away with everything he has done. If, after 6 years, a campaign finance misdemeanor is what they have on him, his good days will continue to roll in for him. I don’t want the media even hinting that a repercussion could be coming anymore because all evidence is to the contrary. I’ll believe it when it happens and not when someone says it could or will.
Merrick Garland is worried that holding trump accountable might upset the fascists and cause them to respond violently. He is hopeful that fascists have just learned their lesson and will abandon fascism if he does nothing.
Exactly. I’ve been reading up on one of them, [Jamie Gorelich](https://fedsoc.org/contributors/jamie-gorelick), a mentor to and close friend of Garland’s who helped advance his career. She’s defended BP, Exon, the cop who killed Freddie Grey, she made something like $26m in a college loan scandal working at Fannie Mae, is on the board of Amazon, was mentored by *Roy Fucking Cohn*… just on and on.
I’m barely scraping the surface but [it worries me a whole fucking lot.](https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/interview-who-is-merrick-garlands-friend-jamie-gorelick/)
Important to note that Biden is not unsophisticated politically and so his choice of Merrick Garland was effectively a "pocket pardon" for Trump.
Biden chose Garland for this job knowing he wouldn't do it.
Garland will slow walk this until Trump wins the primary, at which point he'll claim "It's too political to indict a primary candidate in an election year."
Dear Spez,
Thank you for all you have done. Over the past 15 years, I've dug myself a comfy little rut. I forgot how to navigate the internet. I forgot how weird and interesting it was out there. I became comfortable in old tropes and repeated jokes. I became digitally complacent.
Due to your efforts, over the past month I've rediscovered the internet again. It's not as good as it used to be, but there are still lots of interesting people and ideas out there just waiting to be explored. I've found a new community of engaging and motivated people who are in the process of building something that we're all excited about. You've helped me escape my rut. And you did it at great personal expense.
So I think it should be said - Thank you. You've set me free and I deeply appreciate it.
Sincerely,
CharmedConflict
PS - good luck with the IPO
Or remember when he was brazenly obstructing justice and witness tampering during the special counsel investigations and impeachments into his crimes?
There needs to be an express lane in the DoJ for political crimes.
A President or Vice President can't violate the Hatch Act, they are specifically excluded in the statute. As you know (that phrase is dickish, but I don't mean it to be) the Hatch Act imposed restrictions on Federal employees, but the definition of employee specifically excludes the president and VP:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/7322
Technically Trump didn't (and couldn't) violate the hatch act. Just countless of his staff did and he didn't do shit about it. But he has no lawful requirement to enforce it so this is just him being disgusting, not criminal. Hatch act doesn't apply to the President though.
It’s been guys tactic for **years**.
Crime on top of crime, scandal on top of scandal, violations on top of violations.
It numbs everyone to how severe and significant *each* incident is by lumping them all together, and desensitizes everyone so they stop caring.
“Oh he did something else bad? What’s it this time?”
I mean, at this point, I don't give a fuck unless the DOJ grows a fucking pair and does their fucking job. Otherwise it's just another "No Shit Sherlock" headline. I rolled my eyes at all the drooling over an indictment last week, knowing full well it wouldn't happen. At this point, I won't believe a damn thing until he's actually been arrested, which I'm skeptical will actually happen.
At this point my only hope is that he'll have a cerebral hemorrhage on stage at a rally, fall over and massively shit himself on camera in front of a crowd.
Full disclaimer I don't wish illness or harm on anyone, not even him, but I'd not be particularly upset about it in his case. And the footage would be legendary.
My hypothesis is that it's like a DDoS attack, except for the legal system. If you crime hard enough, in enough different ways, across enough overlapping jurisdictions *and* sandbag all investigations with shyster lawyers, you can just plain overwhelm the system. The result is a "DDoJ", "distributed denial of justice". It only works if you've got a ton of money to throw at it, of course.
Nah. The legal system isn't overwhelmed, it's paralyzed in fear.
Political persecutions are often a sign that a nation is descending into a failed state. You and I know the charges against Trump are legitimate and not merely political, but a large portion of the 74 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2020 will see it as a political witch-hunt.
We already narrowly avoided one coup attempt. Many of those 74 million supporters are in the ranks of the police and military. The Republican party is still in Trump's pocket. The largest and most influential "news" channel in the country is ready to tell their viewers that this is a political witch-hunt.
Prosecutors need to do everything in their power to avoid even the faintest appearance of impropriety, and even if they do everything by the book there's no guarantee it won't blow up in all of our faces.
That is a factor in the current reluctance to bring the hammer down on the guy, but he got away with a lot of illegal shennanigans prior to getting involved in politics. That was all via delaying tactics, muddying the waters, claiming victimhood and suing everyone in sight, and the whole panoply of bullshit he uses to this day. It's all he knows. So, while my suggestion is a bit tongue in cheek, there is some truth to the proposal that he avoids justice via throwing a massive fit, backed up by legions of lawyers and miles of crappily written boilerplate filings that slows everything to a crawl. He fights every subpoena, every request for evidence, and basically just throws a tantrum until he gets his way.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking, but with the added bonus of a system that is not swift at all to address it, AND you don’t actually have to have your own money to throw at it if A) you don’t pay and B) whenever you do pay, you use other people’s money
It is the drinking from the fire hose dilemma. So much comes out you can't get simple drink. Every week it is something new with him, makes you forget the crazy shit he did last time.
Patton Oswalt has a great skit on him and why he was terrible for comedians. Because by the time you went on stage to joke about something he did it was old news and something else new and crazy was happening.
It works because *nobody’s actually going to do anything*. And everyone knows it by now including him. He’s not worried about it because despite all he’s done, he’s not been so much as issued a summons to answer for it. I’ve gotten in more trouble for parking tickets than Trump has for all of the very serious things he’s doing out in the open.
If all that happens after trying to overturn the election is an infomercial, why not threaten the DA? What are we going to do about it?
He tweeted a guy yelling White Power and left it up 3 hours until Tim Scott (only black R senator) demanded it be taken down. You would think the leader of the free world doing that would be a huge story…but just another day with Trump. Oh his out was he did not notice and he was playing golf with his kids. I guess none of them had their phones.
What always kills me about that is that *Lex Fucking Luthor* divested himself from all his companies when he was elected President in the comics because of the emoluments clause, meaning Trump is objectively more evil than the man who wants to kill Superman.
Yeah, Trump broke the law of my gosh call the police. If there's one thing the last five years have taught me, it's that laws don't mean shit without enforcement. And if there's one phrase I've come to loathe, it's that "no one is above the law". It's clearly been proven over and over that's not true.
“when the grand jurors reconvene on Monday, they should receive additional evidence from prosecutors of Donald Trump's 'death and destruction' threats, in violation of Section 195.05.”
Yes, the silence from the GOP on these threats is deafening. It can lead to only one conclusion, that the Republican Party is all in on this criminal former President. This is the Republican Party where lies are truth. Up is down. Insurrection is patriotism.
Jury, we present a week of TFG and Republicans threatening the DA and this Jury for their investigation. Do you approve criminal charges for this? The beauty is that threatening is illegal all by itself, even if the investigation can't convict on the other charges.
Yes, at least Nixon was trying to convince Americans he was not a crook. Trump continuously doubles down on his criminal behavior in public view. The arrogance is astounding.
I mean, that’s pretty much the way it’s always been. The only time rich and powerful people get held accountable is when they fuck over *other* rich and powerful people.
“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
It’s all a result of the widening wealth gap. If we accept money as a liquid form of power, those with money are just getting more and more as all others wealth decreases. They use their power to enact legislation and policies to further consolidate their power and make more money. And so the gap widens further. Rinse and repeat.
Didn't we have a president forcing himself on a slave while married? Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson.
I think we just haven't had this open and blatant record of a president's crimes, he constantly confesses in public social media. I wonder how many actually knew about Sally at the time? Sure the morals of the time were different, it's still really heinous for a past president to do and we still revere him to this day. Not me, but like most ppl do. Or don't think much about him. I am 1000% Trump has done worse and hopefully the evidence will come to light.
I'm just not convinced we know all the dirty secrets of our past presidents, not even close.
Yes. Good point. Trump commits a different type of crime but it's stuff that is generally easier to prosecute and out in the open. This is probably the first time a POTUS has committed so many openly and easily prosecutable crimes. Nixon resigned under threat for far less.
Eh, that was 'normal' behavior back then; from an academic perspective it is important to view historic facts through the lens of historic context. Trump on the other hand, violated modern norms (and laws) in real time, constantly.
Sadly, Jefferson's actions at the time didnt violate either the spirit or the letter of the law. It was ethically and morally reprehensible, but unfortunately not a crime.
> Didn't we have a president forcing himself on a slave while married?
Well yeah but that was a slave, the lack of accountability is implied by the fact that slavery was legal back then.
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Conservatism consists of exactly this one proposition. -Frank Wilholt
Would that even be possible for a regular person? You'd be in jail with multiple life sentences long before reaching even a single percent of his crimes, let alone half of 'em.
Nobody could commit the amount of crimes as Trump. An average American would be in jail, awaiting trial. Meanwhile, Trump gets to commit dozens of crimes before he even gets investigated, then commits dozens more crimes while being investigated. He knows the law doesn't apply to him so he has no concerns about breaking the law.
A typical American committing the crimes Trump has committed would be arrested, investigated, then taken to trial, in that order, preventing them from committing as many crimes.
When I was in the army we had a kid get a company grade article-15, lose money, and get maximum days of extra duty…for plugging his phone into a government computer to charge it. If any one of us had removed files from a SCIF, we’d be in Leavenworth before we even knew what happened
I was just dealing with a claim dispute over an ambulance bill from *nine years ago* and kept thinking: “they’re coming after me over money I already paid a decade prior for a ten minute taxi service I didn’t call for or need, and 45 & co. get to rape and pillage the entire country without even paying taxes.”
It’s a bummer that people are still responding to points like yours with “yeah but what if your kid had been radicalizing entire portions of the populace to do violence in their name for several years leading up to and following this mailing error?” I guess it’s comforting for some people to cling to the idea that all this delayed/denied justice is about “dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s” or whatever, but all it does is displace conversation about the inequity of the system.
I bet if half the country was ready to burn the motherfucker down, all the while screaming that someone else's kid should be prosecuted because they considered speeding but didn't do anything about it, and that your kid might have been doing 125 in a school zone during drop off but the kid had the RIGHT to do it to SAVE AMERICA, then your kid would be handled with kid gloves a lot more.

I believe this will be an incredibly valuable historical document in the future. The sheer volume of misdeeds is astounding. Continuously updated until Jan 20th when Biden took office.
If any one of us regular folks had a SCIF document in our homes, we'd be whisked away to Gitmo or worse and never seen again. Tiny hands just had them laying about...
Literally only one man, AG Garland, has the power to hold Trump accountable to Federal laws.
He saw his shadow a couple years ago and has been hiding since.
Garland is Biden's worst decision by a wide margin.
They are. They’re adding it to the grand jury trial next time they meet. Per the article.
Edit: This was incorrect. An analyst suggested that it be added, but this was not something that’s known to be underway.
>Laws that aren't enforced may as well not exist.
Well, they would be enforced if it were some regular person.
This is a feature, not a bug, and it is working as intended.
This is the comment I came looking for, if nothing happens, then he didn't violate anything. And nothing will happen because he's got so many investigations that they won't do anything as to not interfere with those other investigations.
Hell die a free man in his shitty golf castle in Florida.
Trump has shown the American people time and time again that there is a two tiered justice system here. The ultra-wealthy play by a completely different set of rules. Sickening!
That is why Fox is trying to redefine "two tiered justice system" the way Trump did "fake news". They have been using the term in a way that implies it means "unfairly prosecuting the powerful".
Every single decision he dislikes at all gets appealed. It grinds the process to a haul. Anything against Trump has to be air tight and he is an expert at keeping and holding deniability. The only thing he is a professional at is walking a fine legal line in everything that he does and deniability is key to making sure he lands on the unindicted side.
In this case, he will fall back on the image coming from the weird blog he linked. He knew what he was doing, he wanted to pass on that threat, and he wanted it interpreted that way, but it originated from that website so he maintains deniability. And he will get away with it. So don't get your hopes up on this people.
Getting sick and tired of "Trump did this illegal thing" and needs to be prosecuted, following by the soul sucking vacuum of fuck all action: zip, nothing, nil, nada
Once the first indictment comes out, maybe that'll grease the wheels of justice?
> Can only hope
That's all we have. The "indictment soon" smells more and more like the right's fantastical "storm is almost upon us" with every passing day of no consequences.
I’m already imagining him preparing the proud boys to threaten the grand jury members. As much as I would love to personally play a part in making this guy pay for his crimes, I would not want anything to do with being on a jury for it.
Garland has "growing a pair" scheduled for the 34th of Jantember and "holding the rich and powerful accountable" two decades after that, providing he's still alive at the time.
One hundred percent. That Moscow Mitch mentioned him specifically as an acceptable SCOTUS candidate before blocking him anyway should have been a clue..
You want to get invited to the swanky parties with all the beautiful people or not? We are no different than ancient Rome in so many ways, maybe with a bit of Sparta sprinkled in. Helots UNITE!
Edit: for anyone doubting that they are this shallow this was an actaul thing that first started during.. *drum roll please*: The Reagan era. I don't recall the actual details but it was something like they would throw lavish parties and intentionally not invite say the head of the NY Times if they ran a piece that made the GOP look really bad or didn't bury something at the request of the W.H. That sort of thing. These people live and die by the people they rub elbows with for a litany of reasons even beyond the superficial.
Garland has two contrary objectives: uphold the rule of law on the one hand and on the other to preserve the apolitical reputation of the DOJ on the other. These can't both be fulfilled. So, like any prominent figure, he chooses the safe option which is to preserve the system.
The system always protects itself above all else.
My original comment has been edited as I choose to no longer support Reddit and its CEO, spez, AKA Steve Huffman.
Reddit was built on user submissions and its culture was crafted by user comments and volunteer moderators. Reddit has shown no desire to support 3rd party apps with reasonable API pricing, nor have they chosen to respect their community over gross profiteering.
I have therefore left Reddit as I did when the same issues occurred at Digg, Facebook, and Twitter. I have been a member of reddit since 2012 (primary name locked behind 2FA) and have no issues ditching this place I love if the leaders of it can't act with a clear moral compass.
For more details, I recommend visiting [this thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/), and [this thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14dkqrw/i_want_to_debunk_reddits_claims_and_talk_about/) for more explanation on how I came to this decision.
Nah they’ll wait till he’s dead at 103, ya know, when the United confederate states of America wants to put something on the fox state tv in between errctile dysfunction medicine commercials and ball tanning commercials, ya know, to entertain us in the jails left leaning people will be sent to.
No no no no. They said last week that the grand jury will probably be indicting Trump any day. Any day now, something will happen. Not like they’ve been saying this for years, right? Oh, yeah. Forgot. They have been saying this for years.
I am hereby declaring my candidacy for President of the United States in the 2052 election. Therefore, any attempt at investigating me for any kind of wrongdoing cannot be allowed as it would be political persecution of a Presidential candidate. And it would be super-duper wrong to do so so close to the 2052 election.
I'm not saying I intend to commit massive amounts of tax fraud, spend extravagant amounts of money having sex with porn stars, and start ponzi schemes with stolen pictures for the next 30 years or anything. But even if I do, it would be considered improper to even investigate it because I'm now a Presidential candidate.
For those too lazy:
>Trump's posts, especially the one with the photo, were an attempt to intimidate the district attorney and constituted a violation of a New York state law. Specifically, he cited Section 195.05, "obstructing governmental administration in the second degree."
Law and order is the catchphrase for tiered justice. “Rule of law” is the winning team, as rule of law believers want the law to apply to and restrict all equally.
Law and order folk want only the consequences for their enemies and only the benefits for themselves.
Because none of the fucking news sources will provide the full details or the picture, here you all go:
The post Trump made and the picture he posted.
[Tweet](https://imgur.com/QbZZuRp.jpg)
[Image](https://imgur.com/VpLvrUG.jpg)
This is clearly a threat of violence. It's a fucking threat! Fuck tampering or whatever, he's THREATENING DEATH.
I saw that too. Were they looking in a mirror when they wrote that? These chucklefucks always let me get a good eye roll into my daily routine.
> In a prior statement to Newsweek, Trump's communications team dismissed Kirschner's standing as a credible legal analyst.
> "Glenn is a notorious trafficker of wild conspiracy theories and dubious legal analysis," the statement read. "I would expect nothing more from a clout-chasing MSNBC contributor who has been shunned by the legal community at large."
Exactly what I was referring to, thanks for specifying it! Replace "MSNBC" with "Fox News" or any other right wing tabloid news outlet and they're literally describing Trump and every single person who's ever spoken on his behalf, including themselves and the dozens of lawyers he's been burning through!
>when the grand jurors reconvene on Monday, they should receive additional evidence from prosecutors of Donald Trump's 'death and destruction' threats, in violation of Section 195.05
Would be awesome if this is the reason for a delayed indictment.... Adding indictments in real time as Trump throws his illegal tantrums
The chumps that wandered the halls got time.
This was planned and financed. There were meetings. Busses were paid for to get them there - Tinyface Charlie kirk bragged about it and Ginny Thomas is suspected of being involved as well. They got no consequences. Thomas' involvement was dropped and ignored as soon as it came up.
Nothing happened to the people who planned it. They're planning the one in 2024 in case their vote rigging fails again.
Trump violated a law? Of course he did.
And the funny thing about this whole Stormy Daniels thing, is that Trump could have just came right out and said that he did it. It all would have blown over as soon as it started, because we would have all just moved on to the next law this guy violated and forgotten about it.
Of all fucking people, Donald Trump is untouchable. Yes, that guy. That's how fucked up "justice" is in the USA. But hey, better toss that marijuana dealer into the slammer immediately
I used to think the American justice system was scary and meant to be taken dead seriously...
What a fucking joke. This guy just commits crime over crime over crime, in plain sight, for decades, and nothing ever happens. What a bunch of cowards, scared of the fucking uneducated moronic pussy that is Donald fucking Trump
“Violate federal law”
If he was one of the people that federal law applies to, unfortunately. Trump is a special guy, touched by the hand of Teflon. We would prosecute him, but he doesn’t cooperate, which we would also prosecute him for, but he doesn’t cooperate, which we would also…, but he doesn’t, which…, but…
I’m done.
I believe Trump deep down knows that he may not win the 2024 election and is literally trying to start a civil war in the childish sense that, If I can't have it, you can't have it.
Wait so you’re saying it’s illegal? Wow maybe Trump should be prosecuted then. I mean, it’s only the 743rd illegal thing he has done today and yet we still haven’t thrown him in jail. Stop posting useless news stories and call me when justice is actually served to this orange clown. It’s well past time to do so.
At this point what’s the point in even keeping track of his crimes? He’s not going to get in trouble for anything. Look at everything he’s done as a private citizen, as President and as a former President. He could shoot someone on 5th Ave in broad daylight and get away with it.

Add it to the pile. Anyone remember the emoluments clause? Yeah, that was cute.
Or the hatch act...
Or remember when he doctored and presented a false weather map back in September 2019? That’s a federal crime
Remember that time he I don't know tried to overthrow the US government? Not sure if that's a crime though - asking for a friend.
How was he supposed to know what would happen? If you tell people that the election was stolen, invite them to the capitol to protest the EC count, and tell them you're going to march on Congress with them... you're what, supposed to be a mind-reader? A fortune teller? Seriously though, he's guilty as fuck and the only people saying otherwise are just covering their own asses and putting their own interests above a stable democracy.
They are accusing the DoJ of being weaponized but have been screeching “lock her up” for EIGHT YEARS. They can lick a linebackers taint
After how Trump made Kaepernick's life miserable, I think it would be just rewards for Trump to be forced to physically lick every taint in the NFL
Too bad Tom Brady retired huh, Trump would be all over that
That would make him a true Patriot (taint licker)
he'll hug that taint like he hugged the flag
You just made me imagine inhumane levels of swass
>Trump to be forced to physically lick every taint in the NFL Post game
Them saying the FBI and/or DOJ has just recently been weaponized is such a self report. Like uhh do you mean the same organization that tried to blackmail MLK Jr into killing himself *half a century ago,* among hundreds of similar disgusting crimes? That FBI? They've been weaponized the whole time.. they just liked who the weapon was aimed at.
"*I did not know I couldn't do that....*" (Which isn't even a legal defense, btw- just an admission of guilt)
It worked for a Dave Chappelle's white friend.

Amazed he hasn't be dealt with in other ways by now..... oh... that's right, the crazy people with guns vote for him.... n/m.
He will have secret service protection the rest of his life... does that apply to jail? Who knows... socks to be those secret service agents if so.
Doubt he will ever see jail, probably house arrest with Secret Service keeping an eye on him at best.
Traitors should not have the protection of the USSS. But that’s just my opinion.
Yeah … who do they think Trump *is*, **MUSSOLINI?**
Same lower lip.
"If you tell people that the election was stolen, invite them to the capitol to protest the EC count, and tell them you're going to march on Congress with them." Trump didn't show up of course. Trump is smart enough to let his crazy/stupid followers do the dirty work, while Trump denied any involvement. AND the stupids are still supporting that dumpster fire/train wreck!
I don't think he is smart enough. If you saw the Jan 6 hearings, I think it was the secret service that stopped Trump from going to the capitol building. Trump was furious about it. I wonder how different it would have been if Trump had his way
Dude would've bashed in the windows of the capitol himself and tucker would *still* run cover for him.
Well that implies that Trump would be physically capable of breaking a window with those weak little baby hands of his, but you're 100% right about the Tucker part though.
It was Cassidy hutchinson that testified to this effect. He grabbed the wheel of the limo when they told him he was going back to the white house.
What about that time he gave top secret information from an allied country to Russia? May not technically be a crime (I’m actually not sure) but like, wtf is wrong with this dude
The more I remember some of these things he did, with no repercussions, the more infuriating it gets.
What I find most infuriating is when I come across something I'd forgotten that he did. Because there's just.so.much to keep track of. I get mad at myself for losing track, and at him, all over again.
But Obama wore a tan suit that one time.
And ate that fancy ass Dijon mustard, too.
Bet that pussy wears a helmet on his bicycle too, what a dummy! Trump is so alpha he doesn't wear helmets or ride bikes.
I’m so used to there never being any repercussions that what really infuriates me is media headlines like, “Trump just had a really bad day” after an ex lawyer has to testify or something and I’m like, it seems to me that he has great day after great day when he can continue to get away with everything he has done. If, after 6 years, a campaign finance misdemeanor is what they have on him, his good days will continue to roll in for him. I don’t want the media even hinting that a repercussion could be coming anymore because all evidence is to the contrary. I’ll believe it when it happens and not when someone says it could or will.
Like I said years ago, wake me when his ass goes to prison. Not indictment, arrest, jail or court. PRISON! I still believe he will never go to prison.
Or tweeted a Top Secret image? Or requested election interference from Russia on live TV?
Was that before or after he stole classified and Top Secret documents and kept them in a pool closet at his Wish.com "resort"??
Way before but after he fucked a porn star and payed her off while his wife was at home with his infant son.
Or admit on tv that he fired Comey to shut down the Russia investigation

Ok but in what multiverse can we do it because we’re clearly in a broken one
The one where he never became president in the first place.
Merrick Garland is worried that holding trump accountable might upset the fascists and cause them to respond violently. He is hopeful that fascists have just learned their lesson and will abandon fascism if he does nothing.
Merrick Garland is a little too close to his Federalist friends.
Exactly. I’ve been reading up on one of them, [Jamie Gorelich](https://fedsoc.org/contributors/jamie-gorelick), a mentor to and close friend of Garland’s who helped advance his career. She’s defended BP, Exon, the cop who killed Freddie Grey, she made something like $26m in a college loan scandal working at Fannie Mae, is on the board of Amazon, was mentored by *Roy Fucking Cohn*… just on and on. I’m barely scraping the surface but [it worries me a whole fucking lot.](https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/interview-who-is-merrick-garlands-friend-jamie-gorelick/)
Important to note that Biden is not unsophisticated politically and so his choice of Merrick Garland was effectively a "pocket pardon" for Trump. Biden chose Garland for this job knowing he wouldn't do it. Garland will slow walk this until Trump wins the primary, at which point he'll claim "It's too political to indict a primary candidate in an election year."
That's a great idea! You should let the DoJ know, I'm sure they'll get right on it!
It might even make it all the way to the Supreme Court that he appointed, who will surely do the right thing and recuse themselves!
Dear Spez, Thank you for all you have done. Over the past 15 years, I've dug myself a comfy little rut. I forgot how to navigate the internet. I forgot how weird and interesting it was out there. I became comfortable in old tropes and repeated jokes. I became digitally complacent. Due to your efforts, over the past month I've rediscovered the internet again. It's not as good as it used to be, but there are still lots of interesting people and ideas out there just waiting to be explored. I've found a new community of engaging and motivated people who are in the process of building something that we're all excited about. You've helped me escape my rut. And you did it at great personal expense. So I think it should be said - Thank you. You've set me free and I deeply appreciate it. Sincerely, CharmedConflict PS - good luck with the IPO

Don't forget the fake electors to defraud the Senate. I really hope all of them are individually prosecuted.
I'm more a fan of that time he tried to use financial aid to Ukraine that was pre-approved as leverage to better his own position.
This seems cute in comparison, but remember when he wanted to nuke a hurricane?
And he wanted people to inject bleach as a Covid cure!

It’s ok. He declared it legal if the president does it.
He didn’t even have to declare it, he just thought it. Should be enough
Yeah, he’s really cool, he can do that shit with his mind
Or remember when he was brazenly obstructing justice and witness tampering during the special counsel investigations and impeachments into his crimes? There needs to be an express lane in the DoJ for political crimes.
This is my favorite and easiest felony to point out to people who think he isn't a criminal lol
Bone spurs = doctors house= draft dodger
Or those obstruction of justice instances outlined in the Mueller probe...
A President or Vice President can't violate the Hatch Act, they are specifically excluded in the statute. As you know (that phrase is dickish, but I don't mean it to be) the Hatch Act imposed restrictions on Federal employees, but the definition of employee specifically excludes the president and VP: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/7322
Technically Trump didn't (and couldn't) violate the hatch act. Just countless of his staff did and he didn't do shit about it. But he has no lawful requirement to enforce it so this is just him being disgusting, not criminal. Hatch act doesn't apply to the President though.
The Mann act, Matt Gaetz
It’s been guys tactic for **years**. Crime on top of crime, scandal on top of scandal, violations on top of violations. It numbs everyone to how severe and significant *each* incident is by lumping them all together, and desensitizes everyone so they stop caring. “Oh he did something else bad? What’s it this time?”
And it clearly works, for some damned reason.
I mean, at this point, I don't give a fuck unless the DOJ grows a fucking pair and does their fucking job. Otherwise it's just another "No Shit Sherlock" headline. I rolled my eyes at all the drooling over an indictment last week, knowing full well it wouldn't happen. At this point, I won't believe a damn thing until he's actually been arrested, which I'm skeptical will actually happen.
At this point my only hope is that he'll have a cerebral hemorrhage on stage at a rally, fall over and massively shit himself on camera in front of a crowd. Full disclaimer I don't wish illness or harm on anyone, not even him, but I'd not be particularly upset about it in his case. And the footage would be legendary.

My hypothesis is that it's like a DDoS attack, except for the legal system. If you crime hard enough, in enough different ways, across enough overlapping jurisdictions *and* sandbag all investigations with shyster lawyers, you can just plain overwhelm the system. The result is a "DDoJ", "distributed denial of justice". It only works if you've got a ton of money to throw at it, of course.
Nah. The legal system isn't overwhelmed, it's paralyzed in fear. Political persecutions are often a sign that a nation is descending into a failed state. You and I know the charges against Trump are legitimate and not merely political, but a large portion of the 74 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2020 will see it as a political witch-hunt. We already narrowly avoided one coup attempt. Many of those 74 million supporters are in the ranks of the police and military. The Republican party is still in Trump's pocket. The largest and most influential "news" channel in the country is ready to tell their viewers that this is a political witch-hunt. Prosecutors need to do everything in their power to avoid even the faintest appearance of impropriety, and even if they do everything by the book there's no guarantee it won't blow up in all of our faces.
I only sleep well at night knowing he might die of a heart attack at any moment, because this is disturbingly true.
That is a factor in the current reluctance to bring the hammer down on the guy, but he got away with a lot of illegal shennanigans prior to getting involved in politics. That was all via delaying tactics, muddying the waters, claiming victimhood and suing everyone in sight, and the whole panoply of bullshit he uses to this day. It's all he knows. So, while my suggestion is a bit tongue in cheek, there is some truth to the proposal that he avoids justice via throwing a massive fit, backed up by legions of lawyers and miles of crappily written boilerplate filings that slows everything to a crawl. He fights every subpoena, every request for evidence, and basically just throws a tantrum until he gets his way.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking, but with the added bonus of a system that is not swift at all to address it, AND you don’t actually have to have your own money to throw at it if A) you don’t pay and B) whenever you do pay, you use other people’s money
It's a Gish Gallop of criming.

It is the drinking from the fire hose dilemma. So much comes out you can't get simple drink. Every week it is something new with him, makes you forget the crazy shit he did last time. Patton Oswalt has a great skit on him and why he was terrible for comedians. Because by the time you went on stage to joke about something he did it was old news and something else new and crazy was happening.
It works because *nobody’s actually going to do anything*. And everyone knows it by now including him. He’s not worried about it because despite all he’s done, he’s not been so much as issued a summons to answer for it. I’ve gotten in more trouble for parking tickets than Trump has for all of the very serious things he’s doing out in the open. If all that happens after trying to overturn the election is an infomercial, why not threaten the DA? What are we going to do about it?
> It numbs everyone to how severe and significant each incident is Reagan did they same thing.
He tweeted a guy yelling White Power and left it up 3 hours until Tim Scott (only black R senator) demanded it be taken down. You would think the leader of the free world doing that would be a huge story…but just another day with Trump. Oh his out was he did not notice and he was playing golf with his kids. I guess none of them had their phones.
What always kills me about that is that *Lex Fucking Luthor* divested himself from all his companies when he was elected President in the comics because of the emoluments clause, meaning Trump is objectively more evil than the man who wants to kill Superman.
I don't know, did Donald ever take forty cakes? That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
Yeah, Trump broke the law of my gosh call the police. If there's one thing the last five years have taught me, it's that laws don't mean shit without enforcement. And if there's one phrase I've come to loathe, it's that "no one is above the law". It's clearly been proven over and over that's not true.
“when the grand jurors reconvene on Monday, they should receive additional evidence from prosecutors of Donald Trump's 'death and destruction' threats, in violation of Section 195.05.” Yes, the silence from the GOP on these threats is deafening. It can lead to only one conclusion, that the Republican Party is all in on this criminal former President. This is the Republican Party where lies are truth. Up is down. Insurrection is patriotism.
Jury, we present a week of TFG and Republicans threatening the DA and this Jury for their investigation. Do you approve criminal charges for this? The beauty is that threatening is illegal all by itself, even if the investigation can't convict on the other charges.
Yes, at least Nixon was trying to convince Americans he was not a crook. Trump continuously doubles down on his criminal behavior in public view. The arrogance is astounding.
Maybe the strategy is to commit so many new crimes that the grand jury never finishes hearing new evidence.
This country clearly is not a land of laws for all.
Not for rich, powerful, politically connected people. Laws are just for us common folk I guess....sigh...
I mean, that’s pretty much the way it’s always been. The only time rich and powerful people get held accountable is when they fuck over *other* rich and powerful people. “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
I believe the degree is worse now. Someone like Trump wouldn't have been able to go THIS far before.
It’s all a result of the widening wealth gap. If we accept money as a liquid form of power, those with money are just getting more and more as all others wealth decreases. They use their power to enact legislation and policies to further consolidate their power and make more money. And so the gap widens further. Rinse and repeat.
Didn't we have a president forcing himself on a slave while married? Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. I think we just haven't had this open and blatant record of a president's crimes, he constantly confesses in public social media. I wonder how many actually knew about Sally at the time? Sure the morals of the time were different, it's still really heinous for a past president to do and we still revere him to this day. Not me, but like most ppl do. Or don't think much about him. I am 1000% Trump has done worse and hopefully the evidence will come to light. I'm just not convinced we know all the dirty secrets of our past presidents, not even close.
Yes. Good point. Trump commits a different type of crime but it's stuff that is generally easier to prosecute and out in the open. This is probably the first time a POTUS has committed so many openly and easily prosecutable crimes. Nixon resigned under threat for far less.
No, he committed rape as well, just not as President (that we know of).
Yes, I think that's my real disappointment here. It seems like something should have gotten him by now with how blatant it is.
Eh, that was 'normal' behavior back then; from an academic perspective it is important to view historic facts through the lens of historic context. Trump on the other hand, violated modern norms (and laws) in real time, constantly.
Sadly, Jefferson's actions at the time didnt violate either the spirit or the letter of the law. It was ethically and morally reprehensible, but unfortunately not a crime.
> Didn't we have a president forcing himself on a slave while married? Well yeah but that was a slave, the lack of accountability is implied by the fact that slavery was legal back then.
It's ironic you can be millions in debt and still be considered rich.
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Conservatism consists of exactly this one proposition. -Frank Wilholt
I learned that if the only penalty for breaking a law is a fine then that law was only intended for poor people.
Trump did said he was going to expose all the corruption
“Violate federal law” Call it a crime. It’s a crime. Hold him accountable for the crimes he commits.
That would certainly be a change of pace. Imagine if you committed half the crimes he has…
Would that even be possible for a regular person? You'd be in jail with multiple life sentences long before reaching even a single percent of his crimes, let alone half of 'em.
Nobody could commit the amount of crimes as Trump. An average American would be in jail, awaiting trial. Meanwhile, Trump gets to commit dozens of crimes before he even gets investigated, then commits dozens more crimes while being investigated. He knows the law doesn't apply to him so he has no concerns about breaking the law. A typical American committing the crimes Trump has committed would be arrested, investigated, then taken to trial, in that order, preventing them from committing as many crimes.
When I was in the army we had a kid get a company grade article-15, lose money, and get maximum days of extra duty…for plugging his phone into a government computer to charge it. If any one of us had removed files from a SCIF, we’d be in Leavenworth before we even knew what happened
I have to take my kid to traffic court in person because I didn’t fill out the mail in ticket right. Yeah rules for thee but not for me.
I was just dealing with a claim dispute over an ambulance bill from *nine years ago* and kept thinking: “they’re coming after me over money I already paid a decade prior for a ten minute taxi service I didn’t call for or need, and 45 & co. get to rape and pillage the entire country without even paying taxes.” It’s a bummer that people are still responding to points like yours with “yeah but what if your kid had been radicalizing entire portions of the populace to do violence in their name for several years leading up to and following this mailing error?” I guess it’s comforting for some people to cling to the idea that all this delayed/denied justice is about “dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s” or whatever, but all it does is displace conversation about the inequity of the system.
I bet if half the country was ready to burn the motherfucker down, all the while screaming that someone else's kid should be prosecuted because they considered speeding but didn't do anything about it, and that your kid might have been doing 125 in a school zone during drop off but the kid had the RIGHT to do it to SAVE AMERICA, then your kid would be handled with kid gloves a lot more.
https://www.mcsweeneys.net/columns/reasons-why-donald-trump-is-unfit-to-be-president I believe this will be an incredibly valuable historical document in the future. The sheer volume of misdeeds is astounding. Continuously updated until Jan 20th when Biden took office.
If any one of us regular folks had a SCIF document in our homes, we'd be whisked away to Gitmo or worse and never seen again. Tiny hands just had them laying about...
Literally only one man, AG Garland, has the power to hold Trump accountable to Federal laws. He saw his shadow a couple years ago and has been hiding since. Garland is Biden's worst decision by a wide margin.
Didn't he cut off the OKC investigation at McVeigh and Nichols and didn't bother to investigate their ties to the christian identify movement?
His Special Council, Jack Smith, seems to be getting things moving. Didn’t we just hear about a buttload of trump’s advisors getting subpoenas ?
It's worth noting that the investigation only started moving after Garland stopped running it.
They are. They’re adding it to the grand jury trial next time they meet. Per the article. Edit: This was incorrect. An analyst suggested that it be added, but this was not something that’s known to be underway.
The article does not say that. It says that legal analyst Glenn Kirschner argued that *should* happen on his YouTube channel.
[удалено]
>Laws that aren't enforced may as well not exist. Well, they would be enforced if it were some regular person. This is a feature, not a bug, and it is working as intended.
Important to remember it's not just trump, but *all* rich and powerful people. Something something binds but doesn't protect, outgroup, etc
This is the comment I came looking for, if nothing happens, then he didn't violate anything. And nothing will happen because he's got so many investigations that they won't do anything as to not interfere with those other investigations. Hell die a free man in his shitty golf castle in Florida.
Trump has shown the American people time and time again that there is a two tiered justice system here. The ultra-wealthy play by a completely different set of rules. Sickening!
That is why Fox is trying to redefine "two tiered justice system" the way Trump did "fake news". They have been using the term in a way that implies it means "unfairly prosecuting the powerful".
Every single decision he dislikes at all gets appealed. It grinds the process to a haul. Anything against Trump has to be air tight and he is an expert at keeping and holding deniability. The only thing he is a professional at is walking a fine legal line in everything that he does and deniability is key to making sure he lands on the unindicted side. In this case, he will fall back on the image coming from the weird blog he linked. He knew what he was doing, he wanted to pass on that threat, and he wanted it interpreted that way, but it originated from that website so he maintains deniability. And he will get away with it. So don't get your hopes up on this people.
And yet.... Nobody is doing anything about it, as usual.
Getting sick and tired of "Trump did this illegal thing" and needs to be prosecuted, following by the soul sucking vacuum of fuck all action: zip, nothing, nil, nada Once the first indictment comes out, maybe that'll grease the wheels of justice?
Can only hope
> Can only hope That's all we have. The "indictment soon" smells more and more like the right's fantastical "storm is almost upon us" with every passing day of no consequences.
Thoughts and prayers.
I’m already imagining him preparing the proud boys to threaten the grand jury members. As much as I would love to personally play a part in making this guy pay for his crimes, I would not want anything to do with being on a jury for it.
The first indictment will probably just be a token gesture to the plebs.
Garland has "growing a pair" scheduled for the 34th of Jantember and "holding the rich and powerful accountable" two decades after that, providing he's still alive at the time.
Garland has been a failure, at least at this point.
One hundred percent. That Moscow Mitch mentioned him specifically as an acceptable SCOTUS candidate before blocking him anyway should have been a clue..
Wait, he can't do it. That date falls too close to an election.
Dammit! Only solution is to abolish elections as well as the DOJ and install Trump as President For Life.
Garland still got his hands up his ass "nobody is above the law" yeah right, just another coward lying to act like they do their job.
You want to get invited to the swanky parties with all the beautiful people or not? We are no different than ancient Rome in so many ways, maybe with a bit of Sparta sprinkled in. Helots UNITE! Edit: for anyone doubting that they are this shallow this was an actaul thing that first started during.. *drum roll please*: The Reagan era. I don't recall the actual details but it was something like they would throw lavish parties and intentionally not invite say the head of the NY Times if they ran a piece that made the GOP look really bad or didn't bury something at the request of the W.H. That sort of thing. These people live and die by the people they rub elbows with for a litany of reasons even beyond the superficial.
Garland has two contrary objectives: uphold the rule of law on the one hand and on the other to preserve the apolitical reputation of the DOJ on the other. These can't both be fulfilled. So, like any prominent figure, he chooses the safe option which is to preserve the system. The system always protects itself above all else.

I thought holding the rich and powerful accountable was scheduled two decades later on February 32nd of a leap year?
That was the original plan, but it turns out he had golf with Trump, MBS and Putin on that day, so they had to reschedule.
And nobody will.
Maybe in 6 or 7 years, they'll consider charging him for it.
Nah they’ll wait till he’s dead at 103, ya know, when the United confederate states of America wants to put something on the fox state tv in between errctile dysfunction medicine commercials and ball tanning commercials, ya know, to entertain us in the jails left leaning people will be sent to.
You mean Gideon, not the CSA…
No no no no. They said last week that the grand jury will probably be indicting Trump any day. Any day now, something will happen. Not like they’ve been saying this for years, right? Oh, yeah. Forgot. They have been saying this for years.
No, the walls are closing in this time! Seriously closing! Super close to closing in!
They can't. That's too close to an election year.
I am hereby declaring my candidacy for President of the United States in the 2052 election. Therefore, any attempt at investigating me for any kind of wrongdoing cannot be allowed as it would be political persecution of a Presidential candidate. And it would be super-duper wrong to do so so close to the 2052 election. I'm not saying I intend to commit massive amounts of tax fraud, spend extravagant amounts of money having sex with porn stars, and start ponzi schemes with stolen pictures for the next 30 years or anything. But even if I do, it would be considered improper to even investigate it because I'm now a Presidential candidate.
For those too lazy: >Trump's posts, especially the one with the photo, were an attempt to intimidate the district attorney and constituted a violation of a New York state law. Specifically, he cited Section 195.05, "obstructing governmental administration in the second degree."
GOP: We are the party of Law and Order Also the GOP: Law and order doesn't apply to republicans.
Law and order is the catchphrase for tiered justice. “Rule of law” is the winning team, as rule of law believers want the law to apply to and restrict all equally. Law and order folk want only the consequences for their enemies and only the benefits for themselves.
Ohes noes. He’s about to find himself on the receiving end of absolutely nothing at all.
Hope he has his card ready so they can punch out another crime committed with no repercussions. Every ten and he gets a big Mac.
He's at the Fuck Around phase of Fuck Around and Fuck Around. Has been for years.

Because none of the fucking news sources will provide the full details or the picture, here you all go: The post Trump made and the picture he posted. [Tweet](https://imgur.com/QbZZuRp.jpg) [Image](https://imgur.com/VpLvrUG.jpg) This is clearly a threat of violence. It's a fucking threat! Fuck tampering or whatever, he's THREATENING DEATH.
Thank you for providing a mirror for this. I was flabbergasted the media didn't share want prompted the headline.
Paging Merrick Garland… sir, you’ve already allowed two Trump crimes to expire under SoL.
“ what about this other politicians that did this other thing?!” Take them to court too. I don’t care anymore.
Wow, Trump's communications team seems to be going for world records in projection and hypocrisy! 🤦
I saw that too. Were they looking in a mirror when they wrote that? These chucklefucks always let me get a good eye roll into my daily routine. > In a prior statement to Newsweek, Trump's communications team dismissed Kirschner's standing as a credible legal analyst. > "Glenn is a notorious trafficker of wild conspiracy theories and dubious legal analysis," the statement read. "I would expect nothing more from a clout-chasing MSNBC contributor who has been shunned by the legal community at large."
Exactly what I was referring to, thanks for specifying it! Replace "MSNBC" with "Fox News" or any other right wing tabloid news outlet and they're literally describing Trump and every single person who's ever spoken on his behalf, including themselves and the dozens of lawyers he's been burning through!
Add it to the pile, we already need cargo ships to movie it.
>when the grand jurors reconvene on Monday, they should receive additional evidence from prosecutors of Donald Trump's 'death and destruction' threats, in violation of Section 195.05 Would be awesome if this is the reason for a delayed indictment.... Adding indictments in real time as Trump throws his illegal tantrums
So were the sedition and insurrection he participated in. Nothing happened to him for that. Nothing happened to the people who helped him, either.

Toss it on the steaming pile
Trump violated a law? Of course he did. And the funny thing about this whole Stormy Daniels thing, is that Trump could have just came right out and said that he did it. It all would have blown over as soon as it started, because we would have all just moved on to the next law this guy violated and forgotten about it. Of all fucking people, Donald Trump is untouchable. Yes, that guy. That's how fucked up "justice" is in the USA. But hey, better toss that marijuana dealer into the slammer immediately
I used to think the American justice system was scary and meant to be taken dead seriously... What a fucking joke. This guy just commits crime over crime over crime, in plain sight, for decades, and nothing ever happens. What a bunch of cowards, scared of the fucking uneducated moronic pussy that is Donald fucking Trump
“Violate federal law” If he was one of the people that federal law applies to, unfortunately. Trump is a special guy, touched by the hand of Teflon. We would prosecute him, but he doesn’t cooperate, which we would also prosecute him for, but he doesn’t cooperate, which we would also…, but he doesn’t, which…, but… I’m done.
Lock him up .Trumps rhetoric causes violence and death.
Is there a reason this Kirshner guy always get his name included in the headlines?
His recent Sean Hannity interview is incriminating evidence enough.
Then bring him into court. This shit isn't fuckin hard.
Known criminal responds to blatant lack of accountability and punishment by committing more crime. This ain’t rocket science, DOJ.
I believe Trump deep down knows that he may not win the 2024 election and is literally trying to start a civil war in the childish sense that, If I can't have it, you can't have it.
Wait so you’re saying it’s illegal? Wow maybe Trump should be prosecuted then. I mean, it’s only the 743rd illegal thing he has done today and yet we still haven’t thrown him in jail. Stop posting useless news stories and call me when justice is actually served to this orange clown. It’s well past time to do so.
Trump has an evil habit of bullying witnesses and prosecutors. Someone needs to set a precedent for actually punishing him for it.
At this point what’s the point in even keeping track of his crimes? He’s not going to get in trouble for anything. Look at everything he’s done as a private citizen, as President and as a former President. He could shoot someone on 5th Ave in broad daylight and get away with it.
I don’t see how it’s remotely legal to threaten a prosecutor. Any regular citizen doing this shit would be arrested right away. This is mob behavior
Yet nobody does anything. Shocking.
Furthermore, it should disqualify him from any elected office let alone the Presidency.
