He may be doing illegal shit that people want to put a stop to, but half the government backs him completely, and blindly. And the other half is a bunch of spineless pussies who care more about their donors and their own optics than bettering the country. Nobody is gonna do anything about it

Nothing involving trump's face is uplifting

As I said in the other post ping me if this happens.

He is literally a criminal already, if he's not in jail now he will never be unless democrats act or he is shunned from republican party

Trump will die a free man, sadly. The justice system has already made up it's mind and nothing he does will ever be punished, no matter what.

Now, how he dies is still up in the air. I think the odds are already not in his favor to have a peaceful death in his sleep. The best he can hope for is a disease taking him out at this point.

Should have gone to jail a long ass time ago...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Seriously, I'd bet for a heart attack to get rid of him sooner.

He figured out he can just pardon himself. He doesn't care how corrupt and amoral this makes him look. Shame is a distant, foreign concept to him.

Using Trump logic, the next president could still deport him to a foreign prison. If the supreme Court says, "You can't do that.", the president can say there's nothing they can do to get him back now.

Why are you assuming that there will be a next president while he's still alive (not a call to violence)

Once he's out of politics, he is still on the hook for the Insurrection and the stolen documents. Those cases weren't thrown out, they just went dormant. They can be revived.

Also, he has immunity for "Official" presidential duties. For example, he can't be charged with murder because he greenlit a drone strike on a terrorist camp that also killed civilians. That would be considered within his official duties.

But he can't use his office to solicit bribes, perpetrate frauds, commit election fraud, etc. Those aren't part of his official duties, those are crimes, and he doesn't have immunity to commit crimes.

he doesn't have immunity to commit crimes.

Sadly, he apparently does

Which "legal experts" are claiming Trump could be facing prison? If they actually have JDs, they should be disbarred for incompetence.

SCOTUS has already ruled on this; the president has very, very broad immunity from any criminal prosecution. The case was dropped in Florida because his stealing highly classified documents was an "official action"; if that can be handwaved away, then so can defrauding the country with a shitcoin pump-and-dump.

Any minute now. We swear. There's Habeus Corpus, don't worry......

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

maybe you stop predicting and actually start doing instead of getting my hopes up all the time legal experts.

Those walls have been closing in on Trump for 8 years now.

The only real chance is with state charges. POTUS cannot pardon state or civil offenses.

Leticia James has been investigating the allegations of market manipulation, but that’s the only potential state case of which I’m aware.

The only solution is a French style revolution

Oh, just stop already. It’s not happening. Ever!

If his dictatorial aspirations are unsuccessful he's 100% going to prison.
