It’s so funny how he took a massive dump on the legal system and got away with murder and the libs are like “damn, how could this happen?!” gee wiz I really don’t know, oh well!
I know i’m preaching to the choir here but I seriously want to ask the libs: How is this anything but a complete and unconditional surrender of the legal system? You broke the law. You were convicted of a serious crime. Your sentence is that you’re free to go sir, “god speed”.
Like that’s fucking it. If the laws ever did matter they sure as fuck don’t anymore. He is materially above it and free from all consequences. So what are you gonna fucking do about it?
Looking at some posts on libsky, they’re coping hard and saying things like “it’s fine, because on the inside Trump is really angry about being the only felon president, and it’s gnawing at his insides”. They’re more delusional than MAGA
Just showing that libs don’t believe that any felon has a place in “civilized” society.
How do they not realize that Trump probably wears that like a badge of honor? It allows him to be the martyr that he desperately wants to be.
Libs will just Great Man theory it. Oh he got away with it because Russia + fascism + stacked courts + rigged judges + Russia and they’ll never even stop to think once let alone twice
A few years ago, a Hungarian friend was educating me on the incredible corruption of the Orban regime. IIRC, he showed me a photo of the Hungarian equivalent of a supreme court justice shaking Orbans hand and apologizing - apologizing for having sentenced Fidesz (Orban’s party) to a totally symbolic fine for breaking some rules about campaign ads or something.
This seems a lot like that. Yet the same libs who would talk about how awful the Hungarian system is will surely keep telling me that the US is, despite its flaws, a beacon of democracy.
Prosecutors had recommended the sentence, saying in court Friday, “we must be respectful of the office of the presidency”
From MSNBC:
'“At this time I impose that sentence to cover all 34 counts," he said.
Merchan said he wishes Trump godspeed for his second term in office. ’
Libs: you see, the US is a great democracy, the separation of powers ensures independence betwe-

Libs: shut up! As in was saying, ensures independence between…
It’s a typo, it’s meant to say interdependence

But he will have to live with the shame of being a felon while being the most powerful person in the world and living on a tropical resort with a gold toilet.
It’s pathetic, really. Like if you have the opportunity to be the most powerful person in the world, who cares about an asterisk.
types are the only ones who describe that as a defeat.“but he only got 49.9% of the popular vote! he doesn’t have a mandate!!”
orange is the new white
I’m sorry, not to give any respect to due process for prosecution but
Prosecutors had recommended the sentence, saying in court Friday, “we must be respectful of the office of the presidency” and Trump’s pending inauguration.
That’s insane. So I could commit a crime and just win an election in order to get out of punishment? Winning an election doesn’t negate a crime…
I mean, this was basically why the Supreme Court handed Bush the presidency. “It’d be really sad if the president had his feefees hurt by people thinking he wasn’t legitimate 🥺”
Yeah it does, evidently.
The thing is that criminal head of state has been the go to to paint other countries in a negative light for ages. If an important person gets convicted of anything it obviously means that country and their system is shit, because otherwise criminals wouldn’t hold offices.
Well, the guy won the vote and I don’t think it’s in the power or mission statement of that court to change any of that, hence the only other option is to give him special privileges as to not be punished.
The pitfalls of directly electing presidents. You make them politically irreplaceable. At least in parliamentary systems the ruling party can relatively easily change the PM.
I mean we all knew this was more or less going to happen, right?
It’s funny. Trump is the best American. The quintessential American. If all Americans were blended up to a goop and then baked in an oven, Trump would be the result.
Very true, Trump is the Ur American and I mean that in the worst way possible
Libs will go back to trusting the legal system tomorrow because what else are they going to do?
Just to point out, I’m very Liberal and I’ve never trusted the legal system in this country. I say burn this fucker to the ground.
Very liberal is not a good thing like you think it is
It doesn’t mean accepting or educated or evolved, or progressive or moral or free. It means capitalist, with a rainbow flag for 9.99 plus tax
I’m very Liberal
We can fix that if you hang around and hear us out. Sounds like you’re on the right track if you’ve reached the burn it down stage.
Would you like some reading recommendations? I would start with The State and Revolution by Lenin.
You could also just pick anything in the recommended reading list here and start there.
Actually I would start with this banger from folk legend Phil Ochs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cdqQ2BdgOA
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
you seem like an anarchist, actually
Liberals don’t believe in burning things to the ground. You may, in fact, be one of us!
You may, in fact, be one of us!
They already said they were a liberal
Someone’s going to shoot trump dead and people will be like “oh no you have to use the legal system that’s how things need to be”
I really hope so.
“Even though it’s provably done nothing, even for this convicted felo-”
“How dare you insult our sacred institutions!!”
That’s only because of Russian interference!
And before you ask, no, we shouldn’t do anything to stop that.
Has reddit started blaming leftists for this yet?
