Good. Breaking the law should inconvenience you.

Has he tried … not doing fraud?

[–] al177@lemmy.sdf.org 55 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

But that's his entire business

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

He's campaigning for prison

[–] Techmaster@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

He's got my vote!

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wait what??

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 73 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] BrickTamland@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

210 pounds, yea in your bra!

[–] BrickTamland@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] eighthourlunch@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Elliott@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year 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.
