The system’s not broken; it’s just working as intended—for the rich.
What ever happened to the right wing being tough on crime?
I would say there’s more then two.
The rich white.
The white.
The poor white.
The rich black, which isn’t the same as rich white.
The black and the poor black.
Then rich Latino.
Then the Latino and poor Latino.
The Asian community is a blend of White and Black.
There’s many other systems as well.
How the courts treat women offenders, or even Armed Forces, is different. Police.get treated drastically differently.
12+ at least.
Imma using this as my get out of jury duty card.
We’ll get him next time.
Again, we do not live in a democracy. Voting is there to keep people from revolting, it gives the illusion of feeling like the public have control. Rich people don’t go to jail unless other rich people deem it so.
Because Trump is a rich white man about to be President. He is above the law and immune to consequences. The rule of law is a lie.
Why ol’ T$umpf has just gone and set he’s sel a wotcha call it now – yeah, a legal precedent.
Guessin’ we won’t see the last of them
NO SHIT YOU JERKS!
I’m convinced people that work within the system are utterly blind to how corrupt, cruel, and biased the “justice system” is toward those with money and status. Again…I say…
HU DUH DERR!!
One certainly does in Europe: they don’t tolerate cheating, bribery, scandals or corruption in their “leaders”. They throw the book at them, generally. And with vigour. America is *such a young country*. They just don’t get it.
If I was a public defender, I would start providing orange makeup and shitty wigs to all my clients…
I say equality before the law means we all get this treatment
It’s not a “justice” system at all. That’s just gaslighting.
It’s a _legal_ system, and it is 100% pay-to-win. Just ask your local lawyer for pricing.
Because hardly anyone is this fucking rich. In our country, you can buy your way out of any court. But if you are trump, they roll out the red carpet, as a bonus to make it that much more special.
He’s Teflon Don
They should start asking for it & quoting it in all their trials.
White and/or rich. You get a slap on the wrist.
I’d actually argue that Trump has his own category. For example: P Diddy is likely to not be seeing the outside of jail for a very long time and that guy is extremely rich.
The three Tiers of the American Justice System are:
1. *Not* Rich
2. *Yes* Rich
3. Crime Elemental (Trump).
The judge is a wimp.
It’s hard to find other defendants prosecuted for Trump’s conduct in this case. About any other case of ‘felony falsifying business records’ has been in service of some type of underlying fraud which simply isn’t present in this case.
No ONE is Above The Law! Bullshit! America lost its beacon to a pathological lier, Fascist, white privileged Traitor!
I am less angry about that, because it is more common for scam artists not to face jail time in New York. What angers me is that he was found guilty of contempt of court and received no punishment. The basis of our legal system is trust in it. If the courts do not punish contempt, it is the end to our courts.
Most folks are shown leniency for their first 34 offences.
your legal system is junk. no checks and balances either. Please fix it.
Sending a message that laws can be ignored if they are inconvenient doesn’t sound like a particularly smart move for a government to make.
It seems that there is a 2 tier intelligence distinction in the USA and other nations. To any educated citizen it is obvious that he is an abomination of a person and would be better placed in a correctional facility than the White House. Is this a failure of society and specifically educational institutions that we find ourselves in this place.
Apparently only poor people need to follow the law.
I don’t think we needed a news article to tell us that legal professionals have never seen this kind of leniency given to anyone else…
Which is why if I’m ever picked for jury duty, I’ll opt out any way I can, or insist the defendant isn’t guilty. After all, if Trump can get away with literally everything, so can everyone else.
So what would be a reasonable sentence for this crime if he was anyone else?
Are we talking prison or just a fine and probation?
I believe the justice system is being selfish. They know that a single piece of bad news they create for him will lead to death threats, doxxing, and other activities targeting their home/families.
It could now be used as a precedent.
Ball lickers at all levels now!
Everyone trying hard to be in Don’s good books.
They paid their inaugural fees so now they can get a private meeting with the bully and change things! Always, always follow the money!!!
Probably time to change the moniker of ‘Justice System’ to something more accurate. How about the Veriable Justice System?
Veriable Justice: a sliding scale of justice where the outcome depends on how much money and social credit one has. Heavily influenced by cronyism, nepotism and party politics and one of the later stages of capitalism’s transition to nationalism and then finally anarchism.
I actually have one other instance where someone was charged with crimes their whole life and was really only caught up on one…..
Charles Manson…. You go ahead and deep dive into his record of breaking the law, AS A FELON, and he was getting released almost immediately. It wasn’t until Tate and LaBianca where he couldn’t escape the justice system.
The only other thing that is the same about these two individuals is that they’re bat shit insane
Crazy there’s people in America who got caught with a single joint, doing years of time… And he gets zero punishment on 34 convictions. What was the point of all this? Seriously, how much was spent on everything, only to have no results?
Fear of retaliation.
Even a prison sentence wouldn’t stop his presidency. Quick pardon, and he’s back out and looking to destroy anyone and everything tied to this.
No Pikachu faces around here, but I did think he would get hundreds of dollars worth of fines to make it look better.
Justice isn’t blind, she’s Republican.
The thing here is that public defenders don’t work with wealthy clients.
Maybe it was never about justice but instead about discouraging support in the election ?
Trump wants to appeal. Does this mean a new sentence could theoretically be less.favourable for him?
I said *theoretically*!
Americans need to wake the fk up. Revolution is on the horizon boys.
Bullshit
Of course not, the US legal system is rigged for the 1%. This must end
Working as designed.
Eventually this man will die. I will throw a party. Even if I have to do it in bombed out ruins like when the allies destroyed Dresden.
