Obviously thats bullshit but elect me president and I will absolutely rid this country of Nazis and christofascists and imprison the fuck out of anyone who accepts ANY donations or gifts of ANY kind

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Lol. Surely THIS time...

Absolute hopium.

Make it poison and you have a deal

The legal experts are usually wrong. I'm interested to hear what the legal amateurs have to say.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

Some people commit a felony and get punished for four years or more, Trump commits 34 felonies and we get punished for four years (or more)

What kind of AI generated blog spam website is this, why is a US website named Sarkari Form

The Holocaust was legal

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

LOL
I've been hearing that since Trump 1.
Any day now.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago

Not gonna read this, if Trump was ever going to face consequences, it would have happened by now. The rapist is gonna die peacefully in his sleep eventually. There is no god.

My eyes see this as an ai generated slop, am I wrong?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Idk I just googled guillotine and took a screenshot of a guillotine image

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That's for a population with balls.
Not the neutered US.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Yeah sure. Been hearing it for the last decade.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm on this poll for positive news. All I see is this political shit. No matter right or left or communists - I'm sick of all of it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I agree 100% with this sentiment. Every so often - say, every 20 posts or so - there's something that's actually uplifting. But most of it is just political wank, as you say. Or one was 'Israel finally allows some food into Gaza' which tbqh I don't find uplifting so much as absolutely sickening because it reminds me of how absolutely awful the context for it is.

Still, not gonna unsub because Lemmy is too small for me to be that picky 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, i get your point. But it is really easy to be the change you want to see and make a commubuty that does not allow polulitics and just crosspost what you think fits. People will likely enjoy that kind of content. You have one subscriber in me already if you make it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ufghh I know but omg I'm not one of nature's posters. I was on Reddit for like 5 years before I even made my first comment. I dunno if I have it in me. That's probably one of the reasons I'm so loath to complain about content - like, what right have I?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I strongly encourage you to review that stance. You're doing good and people grow. Also, crossposting isnt that hard. At least on voyager you press crosspost, press autofill for the title and decide which community to post in, done. Other apps and webapps should be similar. At least thats what I hope. :)

The only solution is a French style revolution

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

Stfu click bait. Why would he suddenly start experiencing consequences?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

A mountain of felonies, millions of civil rights violations, violent insurrection, and not only is he not currently in prison for his crimes…

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

I'll say what I've been saying for 9 years: I'll believe it when I see it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Is this an AI generated article? Never heard of this website before

Anyone that actually tries to sentence him will end up on an ice plane to El Salvador.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

He's been facing prison for years already, yet here we are

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

I seriously, seriously doubt it. As much as the insiders all hate trump with an absolute vengeance, he is too goddamn useful for them to want to get rid of him.

Trump is a symptom of a much, much larger systemic issue that has been on slow burn for decades, but the thing that Trump does that no one else can do is have such a massive fanatical fanbase. They do not have any other person who can rile people up while also being an absolute moron who insults them at every turn and treats them worse than whatever shit he has them lick off his shoes.

If the bullet fired at him last year had hit him between the eyes and killed him before he hit the ground, it would not solve the problem, but it would have abso-fucking-lutely had a massive effect on everything. It would have hindered their ability to go forward with a lot of shit since his fanbase would have been heavily divided. Trump's attribute is that he is the glue that keeps their movement together, but not the actual mover of that movement. Trump doesn't have beliefs. He does not give a fuck about anything other than himself. He does not care about his children, grandchildren, wife, ex-wives/mistresses, his country, his friends (whom he does not have). He does not care at all about anything other than self-aggrandizement, enriching himself, and staying out of prison/legal punishment for his countless misdeeds.

That carrot on a stick just keeps going...and going...and going...

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

Before it wasn't so much national security stuff, more evil rich guy stuff they always get away with.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fair, but he has been in and out of legal trouble for a very long time now- my reply was mostly just tongue-in-cheek.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Oh yeah, pretty much constantly his whole life. I've never seen anyone who is able to game the US system as well as him. It's his only strength.
