Yeah, but little d has gotten away with nearly everything so far. And he hasn't paid yet.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

But if you're wealthy and have powerful friends, you're probably not going to face consequences, and if you do, it will take an inordinate amount of time and effort, and you have to be extremely blatant about your transgression. Otherwise you're gonna be fine.
Remember, this is the guy who said he could kill someone in the middle of 5th avenue and face no consequences. He's not wrong.
I just want to see Trump put up an 88 million dollar appeal bond.
I wanna see Trump have a stroke during one of his hate rallies.
Complete with foaming at the mouth and a seizure. Maybe chewing on his shoes or somebody’s pant legs.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An attorney for E. Jean Carroll said the lesson from the recent trial with former President Trump was that “lies are gonna catch up to you someday.”
“I believe very strongly after today, that the lesson is that actually, no one’s above the law,” Shawn Crowley said in an interview on MSNBC Friday.
A jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million Friday for defaming Carroll in 2019, when he denied that he sexually assaulted her.
I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The case was focused on a written statement given to reporters and South Lawn comments the former president made in mid-2019, when Carroll came out with her accusation publicly.
“I think it was certainly very important to her to come forward and then to defend herself when he called her a liar and defamed her, but the reputation that she has now is among a very large group of people really, ruined by Donald Trump,” Crowley continued, speaking of Carroll.
The original article contains 311 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 41%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
