This country will never, ever prosecute a president because it would set a precedent of holding our politicians accountable. Ain't happening. We've all been watching Pelosi do insider trading for decades.

lol no it didn't
Loophole or not. His AG (likely Cannon) will threaten prison time or charge with treason or insurrection with anyone who attempts to continue any cases against him

People in the Netherlands once ate the prime minster (basically president). Just saying, there are options.
Shortly after they were attacked by 10,000 French troops on skates?! How is this not a Broadway musical?

don't give us hope
The cope is strong here.
Its stronger on reddit. Front page is filled with "Biden should resign and make Kamala the first woman president to 'break the glass barrier'" and "Biden should appoint Kamala Harris to the supreme court" and "Biden shoud make an official act to do X".
I mean. Rationally speaking, shouldn't Biden do something extreme at this moment?
This is one core problem Kamala had. Her message was "Donald Trump is a Nazi," yet the entire Biden administration never treated him like some existential threat to Democracy.
You know all those hypotheticals about killing Adolf Hitler? Notice how no one ever discusses the legality of killing Hitler? It's all discussions of temporal mechanics or the ethics of punishing someone for a crime before they commit it. No one ever says, "no, you obviously shouldn't kill Hitler before he comes to power, as that would have been against German law."
Realistically, if Kamala's rhetoric is factual, Biden should have had Trump arrested on day one of his term, charged in a military tribunal for treason, and convicted and sentenced before the first 100 days were complete. The debate should have been whether to give Trump the death penalty, not whether he had presidential immunity. And what about the Supreme Court? What ABOUT the Supreme Court? Did the Allies give much credence to whatever bullshit rulings the Nazi courts issued? Trump should have been pounded into the dirt, and any SCOTUS justices who dared to intervene should have been charged as accomplices. And anyone remotely involved in the plot should have been similarly purged from civil society. We should have seen hundreds, maybe even thousands, of life sentences.
THAT is how you respond to a threat to democracy. You find absolutely everyone involved and throw the book at them. You move quickly and run roughshod over normal judicial procedure. Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and imprisoned people for running pro-Confederate newspapers. That is what you have to do in times where democracy is truly threatened.
Does Biden actually believe Trump is literally another Adolf Hitler? Then logically, if that is literally true, then Biden should order the military to take him out. Hell, he should do whatever is necessary, upend the entirety of American democracy, become a full dictator if need be. Better a centrist dictator than a Fascist one. In other words, if Trump is literally Hitler, than Biden should be acting right now like our hypothetical time traveler.

I mean, the resigning one is way more possible/probable and less disruptive. It'd more be funny than anything, especially if his fans bought lots if "47th" merch, as they'd be supporting Harris

Even if this happens, we'd end up with JD Vance likely running the show which would also suck.
but for that to happen Trump would have to step down.
his ego would never allow that.
If he somehow actually goes to prison they will immediately invoke the 25th amendment and make Vance president.

Your cartoon kid doesn't need to pray, he has magic little fish who grant his every wish.
This is something i never understood about this meme. like most ppl know who Timmy is, so why use him in this meme. Also, doesnt god exist in fairly odd parents, like didnt timmy met him or am i thinking of some other show
Legal eagle on YouTube and nebula has a recent video on this very subject. Short form? It's over.
You know how I know this is bullshit? Because even if Trump got the maximum sentence for each of his felony counts, which is three years of prison, they can all be served concurrently, so he would be out by November 2027 with more than a year left of his term.
If Judge Merchan proceeds with sentencing, Trump's legal team will just appeal and push it back until after Jan 20th.
Nice wishful thinking, but Trump winning erased the chances of him ever being held accountable for his crimes against the American people. A majority of Americans felt like he should get away with all of it. On day one he will appoint a sycophant to the DOJ who will drop all of his federal cases, and the state cases will get paused because the President is immune from state prosecution while on office.
If anybody here wanted to see justice done, you should have shown up on the 5th.
If he's not convicted of anything he can't pardon himself. Is there a statute of limitations on inciting an insurrection, or whatever ge was going to be charged with? Just pick up the case again in Jan 2025.
You can't really prosecute a dictator for crimes when they control all of the branches of government.

so he would be out by November 2027 with more than a year left of his term
In the extremely unlikely event he was sent to prison for 3 years then Vance would immediately use it as an excuse to invoke the section 4 of the 25th and make himself president.
Then we'd have a reasonably competent person in the white house delivering Project 2025 instead of the incompetent asshole
Trump wouldn't be delivering p25. He's always been a puppet.
Yeah fucking right. Jesus Christ. We need to just accept that it's over. He's never going to face any consequences and NY is not sending anyone to the White House to drag him out...
But (as a European) it would be funny tho
Yea when hes dead, Redditors will go "We should resurrect trump to torture him". 🤣
For the shit he's done, they wouldn't be wrong.
So you'd resurrect hitler and risk him escaping taking control of the world again just for the chance of satisfying your urges to inflict harm? Hell nah, let dead pieces of shit stay dead.
Say what you will about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler.
Realistically probably not. However it's best to not give up hope and call out those who aren't enforcing the law.
If there's enough fuss it'll go down in history as straight up corruption instead of some squabble of technicalities.
This is what the law is. It's never applied to rich pale bros.
What about orange pieces of shit?
Survey says no
