"The party of law and order"

Anything illegal in this case = anything trump dislikes.

Full petty dictator mode.

It would be cool with me if both Zuckerberg and Donald went to jail for the rest of their lives.

Were was this Trump when younger Trump did LOTS of illegal stuff? Maybe he could have threatened him.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago

It's pretty much happening now, although the president isn't the one saying stuff like this, it's the people prosecuting him.

I'd actually prefer the justice system abide by the law and current sentencing guidelines. But like yes, obviously he should be prosecuted if he breaks the law just like...anyone else you might name.

Ridiculous. If you can't even rise above the law by inflating your wallet, what incentive is there to get rich. /s

I mean we should be doing that if that happens.

I love that he only manages to be right about something when he's wrong at a far more fundamental level.

Trump legitimately strikes me as "What if the protagonist of the Sonichu comics got elected." Sometimes

Mafia boss strikes again

DonOld the con really meant that if Zuck doesn't make him win he will be very sorry.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

If it would be a life sentence, then Zuckerburg might as well assassinate him.

(note: this is hypothetical, I'm not advocating Trump's assassination, I much prefer he win less than 40% of the popular vote and less than 200 EVs, and that he runs again for President in 2028, 2032, and 2036)

fight! fight!

Sounds like great incentive for Zuck to do everything in his power to make sure Trump doesn't get reelected.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Bold to assume supporting anyone but trump is legal (under the trumpian definition of legality).

Simultaneously, a Brazilian judge is threatening Musk. The judge even seized the Starlink's local accounts (https://g1.globo.com/politica/blog/valdo-cruz/post/2024/08/29/na-falta-de-representante-da-x-no-brasil-stf-bloqueou-recursos-financeiros-da-starlink-de-elon-musk.ghtml) in order to enforce fines against Musk. I'm not entering the merit of the matter, but it's curious the pattern.
