Yeah my faith in our justice system has gotten to the point that I can only see one of two potential outcomes realistically happening with Trump's crimes:

No justice. We'll dance to this song till the day he succumbs to his decades-long hamburder induced suicide.
Vigilante justice. Collectively we don't appear to have the spine for this kind of intervention, but even if we're talking about the one-in-a-million lone wolf type of incident, we have over 300 one-in-a-millions in the US population to choose from, so I'm honestly kinda surprised we don't see this kind of shit more often. (to be clear, this is an assessment, not a recommendation)

What do you mean by "gotten"? US has forever favored the rich white people.

like geez, take a look into your history? Segregation was fine till 60-70s. Killing people in mass abroad is okay and war crimes praised and criminals elected presidents. Funding genocide? bipartisan thumbs up.

Fuck your "justice system"

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Most of us don't see that shit growing up. We're indoctrinated through our entire childhood, then slow-crash as we see example after example of a "broken" system... then finally accept that it's not broken, it's working as intended: it's evil.

US justice depends on what is in your bank account.

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Or in Trump's case, what he pretended was in his bank account, and how fast he can commit more crimes to actually find that money

I've been saying from the start that the prosecution is dragging their feet, hoping he either dies or becomes president, so they don't have to be the ones who established precedent of their social class facing justice.

Super easy barely an inconvenience

Trump: I'll need you to get aaa-all the way off of my back about this.
Judge: Oh, okay, lemme get off of that freakin' dorsal region.

We'll see the year of the Linux desktop before seeing justice for him.

Good thing Wayland is finally displacing X11, open source Nvidia drivers are actually getting good, the Cosmic desktop is coming, and usershare is increasing then.

"Yeah, so he has the backing of the entire Republican Party, so that basically gives him a pass to do pretty much whatever he wants, forever."

It's almost like the deep state is on his side

[–] Filthmontane@lemmy.world 40 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Deep state = billionaires with undeniable bribe money.

"Hmm, now which would be more advantageous to my position as someone who unfairly exploits the labour of the masses to amass himself literally billions of times more wealth than said exploited masses; a bankrupt fraudster rapist in legal trouble or someone who isn't that? "

Its fucking crazy the US sort of considers itself a bastion of democracy while not even having direct presidential elections.

He still has to pay it. He's been offered a bond which is typical and a small percentage of the total owed paid immediately to prevent further punitive action.

There's literally an industry for it (bail bonds) though arguably there shouldn't be.
