Good. Breaking the law should inconvenience you.

Has he tried … not doing fraud?

[–] al177@lemmy.sdf.org 55 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have some compassion.

Fraud is highly addictive. He needs to be in a fraud rehab center where trained professionals can step him down from treason to committing misdemeanors in a safe, controlled environment.

Treason is debatable with more information than we have available as the public, but he is certainly a traitor to the office, the document, and the people.

Treason has specific definitions he may have met, but we aren't fully aware of yet.

But if it happened, throw the book at him.

Make the Rosenberg's deaths look like the happiest ending.

He had a plan in place to overturn the government when he lost the election. That's literally in the textbook definition of treason.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 months ago

But that's his entire business

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

That's like asking him to stop breathing, he has been doing it all his life.

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 81 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Bro you literally don’t have to be there lmfao

He's lying about having to be there. He's also lying about it distracting from the campaign. Him being at the trial is part of the campaign. Him saying it's distracting from the campaign, is also part of the campaign.

Also, part of the campaign

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It is interesting to see what he’s really like, is his outward personality part of being the perfect candidate or is it an act that he has spent a career practicing

Where does Trump the god of the inbreds end and where does Trump the pathetic begin

[–] funkpandemic@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's campaigning for prison

[–] Techmaster@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

He's got my vote!

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Wait what??

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 73 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He should punch himself in the face and wear handcuffs and a gag. Really sell it.

[–] BrickTamland@lemm.ee 24 points 11 months ago (2 children)

My god, who did this to you?

"A mad man your honor! A desperate fool at the end of his pitiful ropes!"

What did he look like?

"Uh...about 6'2", 210lbs, big face, kinda orange"

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

210 pounds, yea in your bra!

[–] BrickTamland@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I mean your boobs are huge. I mean uh I wanna squeeze em. Uh uh 😗😙😗😙 momma

[–] eighthourlunch@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

I don't think he's got enough money to get Stormy to fall for that again.

[–] Elliott@lemmy.world 54 points 11 months ago

He's a horrible person but as of yet nobody has really introduced him to consequences, so his delusions remain intact.

This prison is really getting in the way of my life.

He cares more about being rich than being president, hence this trial takes president over becoming president.
