I expect nothing but unending deus-ex-machina-level plot armor at this point and yet somehow I am still disappointed.
Every day I am more and more convinced that he’s made a deal with the devil.
Laws don’t apply to the rich and powerful. They exist only to keep the rest of us down.

There is no justice system in a country where you can commit 34 felonies, get charged for them and not have to pay a dime in fines or see any jail time.
If money is all that it takes to do whatever you want and get away with it, then why have a judicial branch

Huh? I think I just became a traitor to the United States government. My plan for the next four years is to demonstrate, disobey, and disassemble.

This country is just fully an oligarchy now. The past 8 years have been an unending disaster and complete collapse of what little remained of the justice system. We have a completely illegitimate and corrupt supreme court and now just a complete admission with the courts full chest that there are no consequences for the rich and powerful no matter what they do

It’s unfortunate that we really have no functional guardrail that keeps someone who committed at least 34 felonies in order to win an election from just… doing it again so the consequences go away.

I had to pay a $40 fine two weeks ago for having an expired inspection sticker after a cop ticketed my fucking parked car outside my own house. TIL that innocuous mistake is worse than committing 34 felonies.
The system is rigged. Well done, America. Complete idiot show.

Do i have this right?
* Convicted of THIRTY FOUR felonies in MAY of 2024.
* Sentencing scheduled for JULY of 2024. – Delayed
* Sentencing scheduled for SEPTEMBER of 2024 – Delayed “to avoid any appearance — however unwarranted — that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching Presidential election.” The sentencing SHOULD affect the election.
* Sentencing scheduled for NOVEMBER 26 – Indefinitely postponed. I can’t even find a reason for this.
* Sentencing scheduled for JANUARY 10 – Nothing, why? Because he got elected. There is no other reason. Literally – “Donald Trump, the ordinary citizen, Donald Trump, the criminal defendant, would not be entitled to such considerable protections.”
I am absolutely disgusted.

I’m a lawyer in Canada. The courts are absolutely petrified about “bringing the justice system into disrepute”, because they know what happens when the masses lose faith in the justice system as the last check on power. I truly cannot understand how anyone can look at America and think this won’t end poorly. What do Americans have left to believe in? And why wouldn’t they follow Luigi and seek their own form of justice (justified or otherwise)?

Fucker just keeps skating. I think we need some people with guts in the justice system already.
Judge Merchan, on behalf of the entire human race (minus 77 million people), go fuck yourself.
Republicans were acting like this was some awful hitjob on Trump and the judge sucks Trump off and lets him go
Never want to hear “No one is above the law again.”
And thanks for proving that laws are only meant to constrain minorities.
This is how anarchy begins.
Not shocking anymore, not surprising anymore, just depressing.
It’s time to call it. We’re done.
In other words, he got away with it. God, I cannot wait until this creepy old fuck is out of office.
I was always told “Nobody is above the law, not even the President.”
What a load of fucking horseshit.
We knew this would be the outcome. Merchan said in advance there would be no jail time or fines. This just formalizes the process and changes nothing.
Our justice system is garbage.
Over half of voters on this country are garbage.
Welcome to the steep part of America’s downward spiral.
If the law does not matter for one person, it matters for no one.
Why not just wipe his diapered ass with the constitution and toss it out once and for all?
Remember guys. Deny, Defend, Depose.
Oof. Basically telling a criminal “JOB WELL DONE, HERE’S A GOLD STAR”
What a proud moment in American history. We have a convicted felon as our President.
What a fucking joke this country is. Let it burn.
fuck this country for real
