The time for this was 3 months ago
Four years ago, really. He should have exited 1600 Pennsylvania directly into the back of a squad car.
Instead, he was free to continue doing crimes while rebuilding his base of support for another bite at the apple. Not a huge surprise, given the US’s long and ugly history of turning a blind eye to corporate goonery, financial malfeasance, and organized crime. But depressing, given how much of this was a predictable consequence.
Guy was convicted on 34 counts but never even got to sentencing. Pathetic.
Guy was convicted on 34 counts and then re-elected to the presidency.
After running the most embarrassingly stupid and dishonest and disgusting and alarming campaigns in the history of this once great nation, with a economic plan based on using tariffs to somehow make inflation go away. It’s like America randomly decided to commit suicide.
Free to campaign. Free to fundraise. Free to conspire within the party and continue to build support.
And then the opposition ran a prosecutor mostly known for her reluctance to indict white collar criminals.
No shit he won.
He committed those crimes to help himself, just imagine if we harnessed that criminal enterprise for the economy!
-what millions apparently unironically believed
I know you’re joking, but I believe his followers just don’t think any of it is real. They actually believe that it is all politically motivated.
More projection of course.
I think they believe whatever is most convenient. Sometimes that involves stuff about as insane as my joke :/
Yeah, that’ll teach him!
No, wait, I got my pages mixed up…
Was it even legal not to sentence him
It’s not a crime if the President does it. Or so prior presidents have told me.

A little fucking late don’t you think?
Never too late for the CLICKS
There is no alarm anymore…thr alarmable are alarmed. They will be for the next 4 years - or forever if it’s the nail in the democratic coffin. Those not alarmed yet are either uninterrested, too far gone, or very much aligned with anything alarming this administration will do.
In other words, we’re pretty fucked.
Ok, I’m alarmed. Now what? Tell me exactly what to do and I’ll do it.
For legal reasons, I do not condone any form of violence whatsoever, and the Adjuster is, legally, a criminal who should not in any way be emulated. For legal reasons, I must dissuade you from engaging in any actions which disrupt ICE, and I must warn you that such interference is a crime.
That being the case, it’s legal, for now, to refuse to purchase and consume. Participate in local elections and organizations. Engage in mutual aid. Look up local buy-nothing groups. Organize using end-to-end encrypted comms - though note that, for legal reasons, this may cause interference with legal investigations, and that such interference may be considered a crime, and that, for legal reasons, many such acts of organizing may be deemed illegal in the near future. Please be aware of and follow all applicable laws.
Note that I am explicitly not condoning any illegal actions whatsoever, and am actively attempting to dissuade you from engaging in any such activities - please do not break any laws or commit any crimes. I am not in any way advocating violence, in accordance with Rule 6. I am saying that you should probably vote, and that it is important to always be aware of and follow all applicable laws.
Mods on lemmy think we should sit back and take it.
I thought I saw agent 47 and trump in the same headline and got excited for a second there
I think that might be the solution…
good god look at this guy, it’s like a reanimated corpse someone’s puppeteering from under the suit
Yeah, no, we’re still going to walk into this, despite nothing about this sounding like it’s going to turn out well. Gee golly, there’s just nothing we can do about any of this. Not like we have a current sitting President with the effective powers of a king who could wield that power for the greater good. Nah, we’re just gonna do this. Hope it works out well.
