If there’s ever been proof that America has an injustice system instead of a justice system:
-
Trump is guilty of all 34 counts, is allowed to still run free, still allowed to run for president, still gets massive coverage from every piece of media, even ones that lean liberal.
-
Every single black American has to worry about cops just randomly shooting them, without judge or jury, just executioner.
-
Women had their bodily rights revoked by an illegitimate court.
-
Trans people are new scapegoat after gay/bi/lesbian people struggled to get the same rights as the 90% since the 1960s at Stonewall.
But sure, we live in a free country where a fascist can be arrested, found guilty, lose more money than any person who could support such a fucking loser would ever see in life, and still do will in polls and not have serious challenge.
To be fair, any American at least 35 years old can run for president. Criminal status or history isn’t a block to that, to prevent pulling a Putin and jailing political rivals to clear the field. The media is also a cesspool of ragebait and train wrecks due to the 24 hour news cycle and “ratings”.

He needs to be in a prison cell.
He needs to be hanged for his crimes
He needs to be convicted for his Jan 6 treason first, of course.
The fraud convictions only warrant prison.
Oh for sure, not in the ‘hang mike pence’ way, but in my view he’s committed acts judicially worthy of hanging.
Nah fuck capital punishment. Prison is fine.
Im actually gonna double down cause in this sort of instance i disagree, Trump needs the Mussolini treatment because that’s who he really is
This attitude is why we still have people idolizing the Confederacy.
Hanged? I’d rather see his head separated from his body. Bring back the guillotine!
Hanging means his death shit will be in full view, which will affect his followers final view of him. Otherwise I agree with you for say, if Kissinger ever saw justice
Good point. I’d love to watch him shit himself while choking to death.
Aparently he’s already been shitting himself durring speeches so it wouldn’t be anything new.
That’s pretty standard republican behavior.
I’m making myself groan even saying this, but this is how you create a martyr. His unreasonable followers already have chosen their narrative but you kill him and that’s all they will remember and use as an excuse for whatever comes next.
See I would have agreed with you just a few years back, the fear of a martyr is that it will radicalize their followers. I don’t think that applies here because in their eyes he’s already surpassed martyr status
Who cares? Let him be one. He will be any way do you not get that?
He’s sidestepping the poor people consequences, but he is losing money, time, and opportunities.
The American legal system isn’t fair, but it’s important to note that it’s very significant Trump was convicted and is still facing sentencing and further charges.
This article is asking ridiculous questions. How can Trump be escaping the everyday realities of being a convicted felon?
The same way literally every wealthy person in the United States avoids them. There’s nothing new about this.
It sucks but pretending to be shocked that a rich person doesn’t suffer the same consequences as a poor person isn’t really adding anything to the conversation.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But for former president Donald Trump – who can leverage his wealth, power and influence to sidestep the consequences of his white-collar crimes that threatened 2016 elections – that “felon” label is helping him rake in millions of dollars.
Trump, meanwhile, memorialized his Georgia mugshot in T-shirts and Christmas wrapping paper, sweaters and souvenir credit cards, and leaned on his convictions, indictments and a narrative that paints himself as a victim to raise millions of dollars for his legal defense.
His campaign reported raising nearly $53 million within 24 hours after a jury in Manhattan found him guilty of falsifying business records connected to a hush money scheme involving an adult film star and a conspiracy to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election.
Other GOP allies are also hoping that the verdict could boost Trump’s support among Latino voters by tying the charges against him to Latin American regimes that targeted political rivals.
“People who don’t have power or aren’t as famous as Donald Trump is – the effect of that could be life altering, and it affects everything from employment to housing to social relationships and so forth,” he tells The Independent.
Carroll Bogert, president of criminal justice nonprofit publication the Marshall Project, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post titled “Don’t call Trump a felon.”
