And no one is going to do a damn thing about this because the US is not a nation of laws anymore.

    He’s not in prison for treason and espionage - it’s doubtful he’s going anywhere no matter how heinous a crime he commits.

    He’s…a…fucking…criminal. A criminal is in charge of the law. AND the national piggy bank, but that for another time.

    How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they’ll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that’s why. And that’s trumpski - a lying criminal con man. AND a traitor to the country that gave him everything he’s got.

      Well Al Capone was brought down by the IRS, maybe this fucker will be put behind bars by the post office or something… Or maybe nothing will happen

      Well it depends on the definition of criminal. Most people have committed something that could be considered a crime. The most common crimes are probably speeding and underage drinking

      I know you’re making a political point, but tbh, I thought Lemmy would have a better take on criminal justice

        Equally petty, but I don’t associate crime with being a bad person.

        Speeding is a crime. Drug use is a crime. Evading draconian copyright laws is a crime…

          Do you consider them your friends if they steal from you? Lie to you? Lie about you and have you put in prison?

          I don’t consider drugs or speeding crimes either - but these aren’t the crimes I speak of when relating to trump.

          And stealing, no matter what you think of copyright laws, is never a good thing… even if done with good intention.

          Totally agree. But I think depending on the type of speeding you do can make you a bad person.

        Actually not political although I’m referring to the orange traitor. How many friends in your life steal from you and lie to you and you still call them friends?

      Grow up. Most “crimes” are bullshit and most “criminals” are fine people.

      Nobody wants to be friends with Trump because he’s a fascist who attacks people both legally and illegally, although there’s no conviction/punishment when the rich/privileged commit “crimes”.

        You’re probably full grown, like me. You may be highly educated like me also.

        That you have no idea of what the U.S. “justice system” entails makes your knowledge of the matter “standard” - as is apparent by stereotypically dumping “crime” into the “it’s not really crime” slot reserved for pot smoking buddies, speeders and the like. And yes it’s true that the rich buy their way out (criminal) punishment.

        Fascism and bigotry aren’t crimes… true. Treason, fraud, theft, grifting, lying under oath, and causing the death of millions of people are - and trump is guilty of all of that.

        I’m sure neither of us has trump supporters as friends, or even speaking-terms acquaintances, which points out why I said we normally don’t have “criminals” as friends.
