Since he can still run for office and become president while in prison, is this actually going to do anything to stop him from being president? Obviously it’s not gonna sway anyone who’s gonna vote for him, so is there any actual way this keeps him from office, or at least has some positive effect for us? I wanna join the...
Oh come on, you’ve watched this farce for how long and still ask that question? He’ll be released and immediately pardon himself for anything and everything he can, and literally go to war against the states that still want to hold him accountable.
It is NOT for pushing money to a porn star. It is for marking the hush money as legal fees. That’s ALL it is. They didn’t even get him on the moral high ground, but nitpicked his books.
This country is so beyond fucked… Cannot even get basic details correct…
and he is a coward that will put his own life above justice. Some farce of a “judge” he is when justice does not rule him… This country is beyond pathetic.
Don’t worry, the judges on the more severe cases will also chicken out.
IMO, he should see jail time for the significance of the consequences of the crime. Are the institutions that make the country sacred or not? If so, tampering with and harming them should always go for the max penalty.
Fixing books? Don’t really care that much. Tampering with elections in an effort to become a despot? He SHOULD be hanging…
No, no it is not. What are the goals of an economy or government? To collapse in repeated cycles? No? Then it is, in fact, NOT presently working as designed.
and it should be elevated clear to jail time at minimum, but it won’t, because this country not only has no idea what justice is, but also has no idea how to literally defend itself from “threats within”.
That’s exactly my point. To pretend the government or economy is supposed to be some unstable mess is missing the entire purpose of it in the first place, let alone understanding any balance…
Defending the rich and powerful as above the law is equivalent to defending death as the purpose of life.
You ask me to have faith in judges except for the most powerful ones and some other cherrypicks … yeaaahhh when you have to draw such qualifications… the system is completely fucked.
There are no infinities in the real world. Only boundaries where something becomes a guarantee. Horizons that you cannot grasp. Unfortunately for you, those horizons seem to stop at … movie references.
Yes, that is the constant attempt of the powerful to remain so. That is a constant no matter what. The entire point of democracy is to upset that balance.
Are we a (fledgling and flailing) democracy, or just a failed experiment?
I’m not aiming to win hearts and minds. I’m making a basic observation even a child should understand. The real question is, why are you more foolish than a child?
I’m sorry basic reality confuses you. No wonder you don’t see a problem with choosing lesser evils.
Notice how I have NEVER ONCE said, “do not vote blue in 2024”, but all your stupid ass hears is that. You are biased against logic all the same as conservatives. Pathetic. You are controllable just the same.
It’s not our fault reality scares conservatives. It’s their fault for refusing to make friends with what they cannot change. If the unknown scares them so much, what they should do is get familiar, not hostile.
People who make bad and wrong decisions deserve nothing positive. They deserve to learn why they are bad and wrong.

Forgive the hastily made meme. All too common with us engineers.
Does Trump being found guilty actually matter?
