Lmao that she’s such a broken husk of a human being that she thought bragging about murdering a rambunctious puppy was “making a hard choice” instead of what it actually is, “being a complete loving monster devoid of any good traits or capability of forward thinking.”

If I were a closeted Amish dude and had to choose between loving Scott Presler or a lifetime of grinding my hog I think it'd be an incredibly easy choice to make.

I'd suggest a fabgoon should jump on the grenade and do the needful but tbh I think that qualifies as endorsing self-harm.

He's already had to pay $5 million to Carroll and then another $83 million (plus fees) to put up a bond that he'll lose and then another $175 million bond (plus fees) that he won't get back for the fraud case also a court appointed business monitor has been installed in Trump Org who oversees the business until that's all resolved, plus all the money he's been paying to lawyers. These are consequences.

Eh not really. His faithful and the billionaires backing him have more or less resolved themselves to paying off all his legal bills. Fines that get paid for by others aren't really punishments in any practical sense. The legal system really doesn't have a good way to make the super rich and connected suffer, in terms of monetary only punishments, for their crimes.

The court appointed monitor will limit any more fraud he does in NY but probably won't result in any more significant punishment for him due to the aforementioned suckers paying his bills.

Our best hope at this point for any real consequences for Trump still remains the various criminal cases. But even that is not looking nearly as good of a chance of happening as I once thought. Not doomposting just being realistic at this point.

But at the end of the day he is facing consequences, but none of them are actually going to stop him from running for President because our system isn't designed around the idea of an insanely corrupt madman with near-total support from one of the major parties and a significant number of voters running.

HappyHippo posted:

You're both right, but they certainly don't seem like consequences that actually matter, to him, or to anyone else. They're annoyances at best and he can still skirt along to potentially being president again, and that's a terrifying lol lmao cool country good job.

Then again, he's so far been allowed to ignore/violate gag orders, with little to no concern from the judge. I suppose next Thurs we'll see if the mattering ever happens.

Everyone should honestly just project this image onto every single Republican in Office currently because until there’s some major pushback on having people like this amongst their ranks, they are ALL, without exception just like her.

Trumpism won't ever go away in your life time. When he dies, his lovely children will pick up the mantle. Other politicians will use his behavioral style (such as MTG) to govern.

Donald must have been a saint in a previous life with impeccable karma because how does an rear end in a top hat with almost 100 charges still have a chance of making billions from a failed social media app with hardly any users? DJT is up to 42 today and it’s baffling. WHY are people supporting him!? You could pick from thousands and thousands of more established brands that have a real benefit to society AND a plan with actual profits but we’re in the worst timeline where he gets a million chances, a Supreme Court bench that even entertains the idea of him being immune (I know this will likely not pass but the fact they’re even debating this is infuriating), and a potential payout of billions for FAILING.

Like goddamn.

I'd be fine with prison but he won't be getting that even if convicted in criminal court and he'll never have to worry about anything even remotely similar to torture either. The most they'll likely do is keep him in his Mar A Lago estate.

And he hasn't been been convicted in criminal court yet.

So far all he has faced are fines that are very obviously getting paid for by others as we speak at least in part and probably in whole over time before the general election.

If he doesn't have to spend any of his own money on them then how is that punishment in any real sense?

HappyHippo posted:

RNC, billionaires, and donatations from his faithful.

The money is either being funneled through PAC's or just given directly to him. But its farcical to play the just asking questions schtick at this point regarding him getting his legal bills, of which fines are a part, paid for.
