Do people think that having 4 criminal cases pending against you is meaningless? Like… This is accurate and prosecutions are moving forward. The fuck do you want? That’s how it works.
Yep. Its a slow process.
They are collecting evidence. Witness statements and such.
They are NOT rushing this. It would be a shitshow.
He stole from charities and comitted a plethora of other crimes, if the DOJ was doing their job, he should never have been in a position to campaign for president in the first place.
You are quite simply mistaken.
I think they mean before 2015. If Trump went to jail for 20 years in 2009, he would never been able to run.
There are a lot of people in this thread who became legal experts by passing the Reddit bar exam, or something of equally imaginary significance.
The same people who think the word ‘allegedly’ means confirmation of guilt.
Trump is gunna die of a heart attack the day before he gets convicted and no one is gunna know how to feel about it.
i think i know how i feel about trumps death.
Yeah obviously.
But the day before he got convicted? 2 days after that, or hell, years ago, no complicated feelings at all.
I would feel like he somehow died to get out of being convicted lmao
Even if he gets convicted, I wouldn’t put it past a centrist Democrat to pardon him for unity or some bullshit.
How would the left take something like that?
Like, say Georgia’s pardon board is bribed and they pardon him. What happens then?
I don’t think the left would be very surprised, we’d just keep focusing on direct action. Centrist Democrats already DGAF if we’re mad.
Liberals would call it “unacceptable” for a few months, maybe do a couple protests, and then continue to vote for the people who got him pardoned.
Nothing would change.
Isn’t anyone disturbed by that? Without extreme action from the left and no legal pushback from the Democrats, that would mean the right could do whatever the hell it wants without consequence, including genocide.
Why aren’t we overthrowing them?
They already got away with indigenous genocide without consequence, so I can certainly believe it.
Overthrowing them is a huge prisoner’s dilemma. We can barely even discuss specifics without getting the whole instance censored. The first person to fire a shot would likely act alone, and spend the rest of their life in prison.
I think the most realistic solution is p2p assassination markets built on top of blockchains, like Bitcoin Hivemind. That would avoid centralized organizations for which the leaders/admins are easy to bribe or threaten.
We’ve already seen what they do to our heroes. Don’t be a hero.
They’ve been saying shit since he got elected. Like honestly, shit or get off the pot.
Criminal investigations take time under the best of circumstances. These are not the best of circumstances.
Well, you can’t arrest a sitting president, and Senate was majority Republican and they tow the party line so yeah most Democrats could do was impeach and let the Republicans bail him out
But now he’s not president, and has to face the courts as a citizen. The investigators aren’t going to rush a case like this, but you also can’t risk it going over to the election before getting a conviction. Honestly the timing on all this seems pretty on point
A sitting president has been arrested
It will soon get to the point to where he’ll spend life in prison, if it isn’t already at that point.
As time goes on, the likelihood of that increases.
Y, bc hes old. Like all politicians. Get a grandchild already and kindly fuck off out of politics.
it’s January 20, 2025 …
He’s in prison
I like your optimism
But what about capitalism and food production?
Look, this isn’t half-life 3 we’re talking about here. It’s going to happen, just keep your pants on.
Or at least stop hiding your dick so we can all see it
It’s August 14, 2023. He’s getting indicted. Interlinked.
Do you dream of one day conviction? Interlinked.
Within cells interlinked?
Why don’t you say that three times: Within cells interlinked.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while
It’s practically high art in terms of memes-as-social-commentary
Oh hey it’s the Ligma Balls guy!!

It’s Dr. Manhattan from The Watchmen I believe. I could be wrong though since it’s been decades since I last read it.
You are correct.
it’s been decades since I last read it. Yep, that´s why I -after looking at it for a second- took it for another untypical superhero comic, that I also read decades ago and that looks a little similar :)
