What kind of malarkey is this? The writers of real life should be fired
It literally doesn't fucking matter what Trump says, or what one of his Nazi Lackeys signs.
We can do whatever the fuck we want to him and his family. Seize their assets and prosecute every Trump under RICO laws? Sure. Drag him into court and prosecute him for fraud and insider trading? Doesn't matter if the Supreme Court says no; those fuckers can hang right next to him.
Lol. That's not a thing. This is an outright signal that they missed something that was easily open to prosecution.
"missed"
"Missed" meaning they probably disclosed something they were supposed to keep off the books.
Trump is merely a vigorous test of the American democratic system, and that system has thoroughly failed. It lacks safeguards, guardrails, and checks and balances. If USA survives Trump presidency, and that is an IF, they need to rectify all of its failings immediately. Otherwise they are just inviting another authoritarian to take it over and make it a dictatorship.
I think it's time to roll credits on this experiment :(
maybe we survive just because he is an incompetent baffoon and this is the wake up call that fixes everything... Right? Tell me its gonna be ok mommy?
It might be if we don't turn around and elect Joe Biden or some other dinosaur again

LOL, you mean until a future addendum undoing it and then it's like it never existed? Clowns..
No no it's for super infinity forever + 1.
Stephen Miiler called it! No take backs!
I starting to believe Paula Poundstone and think trump is so tired of losing that he's trying to get "fired" by these egregious, in-your-face acts.
Lmao imagine Trump sweating while eating a Big Mac and wondering what the hell else he could do to get fired. He participated in a pedophile ring, started a war, kidnapped the leader of a foreign country, killed hundreds of thousands of people during Covid. Like WTH else could he do at this point.
I agree. I just hope that, way deep down, american citizens will encounter a tipping-point.
Clearly the behavior of someone that has nothing to hide.
Also,
After ten long years of no consequences whatsoever, I’m kinda leaning to the you-brought-this-on-yourselves… Still wish you good luck, though.
This is fascism. It's our new reality. Be ready for very bad times.
Ready? We've been living in them for a while now...
This is what the 2A is for.
Americans are far too chickenshit to do anything like that.
How are we letting this become normal? Most of the American public will believe anything just as long as they don't have to think too much about it.
Because if you try to discuss what needs to be done on the typical means of communication in the 21st century (i.e., fascist-controlled social media), you'll be censored (and possibly referred to the FBI for prosecution as a "terrorist") before you can even begin to get organized.
They will receive justice. Otherwise the US is just a failed state.
Name one president who has received justice for criminal acts in the USA in 250 years.
True. 🤷♂️🤷🤷♀️
What was does not need to be what will be, things can change. If we somehow claw things back from the fascists I, for one, will be screaming from rooftops if the Trump crime family is not imprisoned entirely or forced to run somewhere like Russia.
US has been a failed state for a long time. It's just that Americans wouldn't see it. Any attempt to talk about corruption and dangers of 2 party system (and both parties have same owners) was always met with ridicule and chest beating. I suppose decades of propaganda that never stopped did its thing. And now those same people are asking me what are they supposed to do, because there is nothing they can do (according to their own words)? Always fucking victims. Same people that bragged about 2nd amendment and their heroism and freedoms are now victim tweeting all day long. And they think that is resistance. They can't handle the thought of losing their comfort(s).
America is a country of cowards now. And it didn't use to be.
I always used to say that US' biggest export was corruption. It still is.
Joke of a country
I can't wait until they audit him for real, and he starts screaming about his "Perfect Settlement."
I'm gonna stop having my taxes deducted ahead of time. It's not much, but fuck them. Why let them get the interest?
More like the Injustice Department. This country is a f*cking joke.
I am looking forward to the "LegalEagle" breakdown of how this is complete bullshit….
You don't need an expert to tell you this is bullshit, it's complete bullshit, the president is a citizen of the United States like the rest of us.
Not according to SCOTUS. They ruled he is above the laws.
Lemmy Americans are bizarre, you guys really don't understand what has been happening since 2025.
Cool and normal.
That won't outlast the next administration. If there is one.
Can't wait for them discover even more crimes that won't result in charges.
Well he could release them then right? Wasnt that the reason he would never release them previously?
Totally normal thing to see in a healthy democracy.
