        Oh okay please explain how the law works I’m sure youre a lawyer or a judge or some other type of legal expert. We’re all dying to hear how our president isn’t guilty of literally dozens and possibly hundreds of serious financial and sexual crimes dating back to the 1980s, or how he is guilty and the fact that he hasn’t been punished is just “how the law works”

        Man I hate lemmoids

          You still need to present evidence, in court, before you can throw someone in (or under) prison. Or do you think Trump is right by arguing that he shouldn’t have to follow due process against HIS targets? The law should be equally applied to everyone…so, if you think it’s ok to simply ignore the process for him, then anyone can simply ignore the process for others.

          Guilt by decree is not “justice”.

            If anyone else was a 34 time convicted felon they would be spending life without parole in jail.

            But do go on about how the law is definitely working, and does affect the rich.

              I’m not saying the system is perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect system. But throwing away the entire concept of due process, just because rich people have the advantage of hiring better lawyers, is not the answer.

              There are definitely ways to reform the system to make it more equitable…but skipping the parts where evidence is required for a conviction, or closing all possibilities for appeals? No. All that does is give people like Trump the perfect weapon to use against their enemies. None of us are safe, if we abandon those foundational principles.

        He would be dead shortly after being locked up because he wouldn’t survive withdrawal from his fast food and orange makeup addiction.
