I’m not saying that it’s likely or that it would have any effects.
No, turnip will never face a consequence. Never.
I’m not religious but I am starting to wonder.
Yes, he can.
But he won’t be, or he’ll be given a suspended sentence that will never be supervised.
Basically they had 4 years to get it done but acted far too slowly and now there’s not enough time before he’s a sitting president they won’t prosecute.
No, they’re asking about the case that did go through where he was found guilty of 34 felony convictions. The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump
He was supposed to be sentenced in September. Trump’s defense asked to delay. Prosecution didn’t object. Judge didn’t want to stick his neck on the line and accepted the delay.
I have no idea what will happen now but probably nothing meaningful anymore. It should have happened in September. I don’t know why the prosecution didn’t fight the delay, but understand why the judge did what he did.
But yeah, I completely agree with your sentiment. The momentum into nailing Trump down on crimes happened way, way, *way *too slow.
Thanks for pointing this out. I was thinking about the ongoing federal prosecution for 2020 election obstruction.
Theoretically, yes he can. Under US law (if the justice system was working correctly at all), no individual is above the law.
However, it is very unlikely. Trump is stupidly popular amongst people willing to overturn the establishment to let him do whatever he wants. Not to mention that he has a favourable supreme court that can just choose not to prosecute him.
It’s all going away. There will be no punishment. We’re done here.
To be clear, none of that is a good thing.
No.
It’s over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he’ll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.
Laws only apply to poor people.
I projected three years ago that come the 2024 election it’s all going to dissolve into a nothing burger, regardless who wins, it was solely a dog and pony show to keep us divided and on edge. The same way that Hunter Biden suddenly is no longer discussed now that Biden is out of the race.
They wrote. It down.
It may prove to not end in consequences, but they took notes on a criminal conspiracy before the outcome and it’s part of evidence submitted in federal court.
Nothing burger is not nothing.
The courts are already starting to wind down investigations. This would have been the result regardless who won
It’s always to distract you from who is really pulling the strings. The super wealthy.
He should be sentenced if he is a sitting president. Eric Adams didn’t get a free pass for being in office and neither should the president because the president isn’t a fucking king.
He won’t be due to how shit our system is, or he would have been sentenced months ago like a normal person.
You better watch your mouth or he’ll send Seal Team 6 to delete your ass. It’ll be an official act so it won’t be illegal for him to do so.

Bro I hate to break this to you. He is their King.
Have you met the Supreme Court? No he’s not going to be in jail.
Trump is above the law. Lol.
It is a universal axiom that any question starting with “Will Trump ever face consequences for…” can be answered with “no”.
If, instead of prison, Trump was faced with a free luxury mansion on a private island and a $1B/yr pension to live out the rest of his years Epstein style, Kamala may have had a chance. As soon as the alternative included a hint of repercussions for his actions, the universe simply could not allow it.
Doesn’t matter anyway, the spineless bitch conceded faster than John Kerry did.
I really don’t like her but what the fuck did you want exactly? A coup?
Please, she’s not that cool.
I want elections where the far right doesn’t get to say “we won” after detailing dozens of illegal things they’d do to secure the election while everyone else who is supposed to be in charge is just like “oh OK”. It’s not an unreasonable ask.
Did you not listen to her concession speech?
It’s a concession. I don’t give a fuck what she has to say about it.
“A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.”
Please watch her speech.
She’s preaching to the choir. We know this. The people who voted for trump don’t give a fuck.
Flowery words coming from someone who now lives in a tyrannic monarchy.
No, just a monarchy. As much as it pains me to say it, it’s actually not “tyrannic” because the electorate legitimately voted for it.
I almost wish Trump had actually lost and then stolen power. At least that would’ve made some sort of sense!
Not “tyrannic” yet, but Project 2025 is 3 months away.
No. Fuck her. We put all our hope in to her and she utterly failed us all, even the cultists whether they’re smart enough to know it or not. At this point I wouldn’t piss on her if she were on fire.
I was upset when Kerry conceded, this is a whole other level. People are going to die that wouldn’t have otherwise and her cowardice at calling out the bullshit tactics the extremists said flat out they’d use to secure power places that at her feet. She didn’t even fucking try. Basis were burned, found in a fucking sewer. That isn’t democracy.
If you can’t see that you need to pay more attention.
You guys failed yourselves by not coming out to vote.
You really think that’s the cause when ballots were found stuffed in to a storm drain? Really?
I didn’t put any hopes in her. She turned out exactly as I projected.
Fair.
You just could have said “bitch,” and been more honest.
Preach. Fuck Kamela. She’s just as responsible for the death of democracy as everyone who voted Trump, voted 3rd Party, or didn’t vote at all. She’s willing to just throw in the towel and let the country (and millions of Americans living in it) die. So fuck her.
What do you want her to do?
Just came to say you’re a coward and an idiot. If you want change, run for elections or lead a direct action movement instead of insulting people actually trying. What bad logic are using to insult the person who ran and lost instead of the person who won and who is threatening to make everyone’s lives worse? again coward and an idiot

He can be, but they won’t.
No the DOJ will begin winding down all investigations and closing cases against trump effective immediately. They are just trying to figure out how to do it.
Oh no, of course he can’t. There’s decorum and precedent to consider! Best to give him free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants without fear of consequence or repercussion.
Wouldn’t want to upset our dear ruler now would we?
Nor do those with similar positions as him want to establish precedent that they can be held accountable, which is the root reason why it took 4 years to accomplish exactly nothing.
What part of “untouchable” do some people still just not comprehend?
Honestly, there is a reasonable chance he gets assassinated this term. No one is out of reach from the sword of Damocles.
I like this Damocles guy, but I wouldn’t hire him for interior decorating
