the abject failure of anyone in a position of power to understand what a corrosive effect Trump’s total immunity from all consequences has on society as a whole is a real indictment of the entire system we are, all of us, harmed by the fact that this man gets away with everything

The NY appeals court’s solicitude toward Trump’s career of massive fraud is my least favorite news of the day. www.politico.com/news/2024/09...

Massive civil fraud verdict against Trump gets frosty reception at New York appeals court

A panel of judges voiced skepticism about the size and validity of the nearly half-billion-dollar judgment.

His criminal portfolio spans at least 4 decades and a breadth across violent & white collar crimes.

England rejected the Absolute Immunity argument for the LITERAL KING in 1649, over a century before America even existed! We've backslid so far we've now literally crashed through the bottom of American history

Trump should have gone to jail years ago.

feel like trump's immunity has really flash curdled the overriding ethos of americans to "everyone's a scammer, so i'd be stupid not to be a scammer too" and if there isn't a major course correction in a generation there's going to be real wild fenenginar shit

I guess in some respects it's important that Trump exposed to the entire nation that our laws our fake and our justice system is effectively nonexistent but that's probably knowledge that was best kept hidden from whoever the next several dozen Trumps end up being (other than Musk).

Problem is DJT has gotten away with everything, either illegal or incompetent actions, for his entire life in NY. He has been rewarded for getting unaffected and naive people to follow him.

He has made us all worse

BANKS WERE SEVERELY DEFRAUDED BY TRUMP’s FAKE PROPERTY VALUES ! Insurance COMPANIES TOO !
