    Yeah, it’s maddening. It would/will be great if it all caught up with him. Maybe once he loses the election it will all come crashing down (like is now happening for Giuliani).

      It would be great if Taylor Swift dumped her Super Bowl champion boyfriend and went out with me instead.

      But there’s no reason to think it will happen.

      The people who are able to hold him accountable, don’t want to hold him accountable.

      One true thing trump has said (there’s not many) is this is common. Maybe not to this scale, and definitely not as haphazardly. But every wealthy person with real estate does this, and lots of them donate to both parties. Not just that, with elected judges, they need campaign donations too.

      Hell, the Clinton’s went to one of Trump’s weddings because of all his political donations.

      Theres a lot of pressure to never hold a wealthy person accountable.

      It’s like how cops never turn on other cops for anything except snitching. The wealthy don’t give a fuck about political parties, it’s them versus us. If we don’t even acknowledge that, it’ll never change

        If you own property you are immediately considered to be more valuable than other people. That’s how the police look at people, that’s how the justice system looks at you, and that’s how the government looks at you.

        You are not a productive part of society unless you own property/business.

        You also cannot punch up. If your buisness is aimed at people below you, you’re fine. Don’t deprive anyone with more wealth from thier money, cuz that’s when the hammer is brought down.
