    Got some weed? Be prepared to be SWATted and thrown in jail for years.

    Did you just rape, stole, gave top secret material to our enemies and pushed for a coup? Slap on your wrist and pinky winky promise me not to do that again

    He shouldn’t have been allowed to run until all outstanding criminal litigation was completed, and any punishment served/paid.

        That’s the shitty part. When it was “adults” it wouldn’t have been an issue, but since children where allowed to run the government it would now be weaponised, as you pointed out.

    I feel like the courts hands were tied here. How do you put a man who was just elected to be the next president in prison, or even on probation? Ultimately, the decision was made by the American voters.

    That being said, even if Trump had lost this election, he still probably wouldn’t have done any time in prison, since he still would have been a former president, and that would have been a tricky enough situation.

        I don’t think we can, honestly.

        Like I want Trump locked up, along with any politician who claimed the election was stolen.

        But the fact is, the orange shit won 2024 and in 9 days (uuuugh) will fully pardon himself making any punishment nullified be the president again (thanks for the correction, he can’t pardon himself from state charges.

        If the various governments actually wanted to punish Trump (they don’t, unfortunately) they would have actually done something and took advantage of the FOUR FUCKING YEARS that there was a possibility of their cases making any impact at all.

        Our broken justice system is slower than our corrupt political cycle, which lets those in power do whatever they want.

      Honestly? We are just stupid and believe America is the best country in every way, despite all the evidence to the contrary. That, coupled with a Fuck You attitude and racism leads us directly to JD Vance.

        Cuts to education and removing critical thinking and prep resources from the upbringing of more and more civilians over decades will do that, yep.
