The wheels of justice turn slowly for the rich and powerful. I don't know if Trump will actually ever be locked up, but the indictment was a big step forward and many other investigations are ongoing. However, that doesn't really matter. The troubling thing is that Trump changed the GOP and with or without Trump, Trumpism is here to stay.

Russia is bound to lose this war of attrition any day now.

Slowly? No at all, man. It took Trump doing illegal stuff on the news his whole life, bragging about it, and pissing off half the country to get a minor slap on the wrist.

Do you think anyone will face jail for the train derailment in East Palestine, for example? When was the last time corporate malfeasance resulted in real punishment in America? Enron? You can defraud or kill thousands and face less punishment than driving with a suspended license.

Oh ye of little faith. why so much doubt it?

remember the Mueller report lmao

The Mueller report got a lot of Trump adjacent people behind bars, until Trump pardoned them. Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, as well as some Russian spies were arrested and pleaded guilty to crimes thanks to that report.

Hey Crackersmack! I have an idea- why don't you just tell everyone you're going to kill yourself, and it's all my fault?

Then you just stop posting, and watch as everyone yells at me for causing this, while talking about how much they miss you.

I mean, either that, or nobody will give a shit, just like when you really do kill yourself. (Like you should)

I mean, I'm all for it. I just don't think it's likely. And the few dribs and drabs we get only happen because of intense and uncommon public scrutiny.

lol no Russian spies were exposed let alone prosecuted as a result of the Mueller report. the Trump orbiters that got into trouble did so though perjury for just being incredibly stupid

Even monstrous despots have feelings. You can clearly see the disappointment when the applause don't come. If anything evil Machiavellian despots care about what other's think of them more than your average person. Their very existence depends on it.

He's just a dude. He's not a god. He's not a genius. He doesn't have magic powerz, he can't shoot lasers from his eyes. He's just a dude with too much power. All these guys are just simple monkeys like you and me.

If despots didn't care what others thought of them they wouldn't surround themselves with yes men.

The wealthiest man in the world bought Twitter for validation.

The most powerful are often the most fragile.

anybody who seeks that level of power in any sort of hierarchy you can imagine is most likely a deeply, deeply flawed human being

their flaws & neuroses just happen to be externally expressed in such a way that generally facilitates the maintenance of power

Please clap should definitely be a tag…

Well, it is now
