  1. Absolutely.

    Hopefully he will be treated like one of us plebs.

  2. we get it..he is rich and powerful. the whole system is set up to protect that demographic not punish it. The class war is coming, you can try to distract with other things but the root of the problem is gonna eventually be dealt with.

  3. I guess a former president is treated slightly different than a “normal person”. Go figure.

  4. Welcome to what reasonable people have known for a long time. No if only someone would act on it.

  5. He would have been charged, tried, and convicted over a year ago, if he was a “Normal Person”. Garland had to be dragged kicking and screaming to charge him at all. The Media dug up damning evidence faster than DOJ could bury it. Historians are going to call Garland, Fascism’s Inside Man.

  6. Agreed, the problem is many systems of justice exist in the US.

  7. I think eventually, he will spend some time behind bars, but imagine someone like you or me breaking a judge’s order. It’s kind of like breaking a restraining order or no contact order. Unless a judge’s order is unconstitutional, which this isn’t, you’re probably looking at at least a day or two of contempt.

    Frustrating to say the least.

  8. It seems like the entire country treats Trump like he’s above the law. He’s not.

  9. If Trump were a “normal person” he’d have spent the last 40-something years in jail

  10. Yes, American Justice is a Two-Tiered System.. cool, at least we’re not pretending anymore.

  11. He is nothing more than a citizen**!!!!** Stop treating him as if he is more than that `!!!`

    He is no longer president and him having money, should not matter to the dispensing of Justice.

    ______________

    America has a problem and that problem is being hung on trying to treat wealthy as if its some mark of Royalty, and Getting hung up on “Titles” long after the person no longer hold the former position. We need to abandon that ideology, because we **are not** a Monarchy.

    *Our pretense of being some faux version of monarchy,* has us in a situation where we can’t even apply the Justice with a even hand.

  12. If I did 1/10th of what Air Orangutan One did *while in office* I’d be in a judicial wood chipper, but the DOJ has to be like “c’mon now, stop dog-whistling your supporters to knock over their local H-Mart or we’ll make you pay .000001% of your net worth and call you a meanie”

    Hold him without bail before trial like a normal person with federal charges, his mob is going to start shit either way.

    We can’t let the fear of the potential harm that his supporters *might cause* prevent the dispensary of Justice regarding misuse of office by the supposed *Leader of the Free World.*

    People really don’t get how big the stakes are here. This is much more than “huh huh Bible Belt dumb” This fucker wants to pull us out of the UN and NATO because another malignant narcissist that’s better at it than him has a pee tape. But better ban books and fry gay people cuz “muh family valyoos”

    Fucking Embarrassing.

    I get to live through the Fall of Rome 2.0 while making slave wages because people got mad that Corpo-Dems put forth a Corpo-Dem candidate in ’16 so now we get a failed state.

    Hope it was fucking worth it. We inherit a dying democracy and Planet while the people that torched both sing and dance and tell me I’m Satan personified for wanting protected leave and a wage comparable to cost of living.

  13. False.

    Trump would never have gotten to the point of needing a gag order if he were a normal person. He would already be in jail, awaiting trial.

  14. Nobody’s arguing he wouldn’t be. Best guess I got, they’re not ready for the violence that will result from reasonable consequences.

  15. If we aren’t going to throw him in jail, start hitting him with $50m fines

  16. What do you get when you cross Trump with a potato?

    A Dick Tater!

  17. If he was a “normal person” he wouldn’t have golden cotton candy on his head and paint his face like a jack o lantern.

  18. There is a V word that can solve this and it ain’t vote. We are probably past that.

  19. If any person in your class tier was considered a commoner, y’all all be in jail for something. Can anyone say Panama Papers?

  20. Trump wouldn’t be thrown in jail over the gag order because he would’ve already been in jail if we had equal justice under the law.

  21. Of course he would. The guy that leaked top secret documents on a game server was arrested and went straight to jail.

  22. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Chutkin is presently reaching out to legal folks that she trusts to make sure there isn’t some bullshit reason that either a former President or current candidate can’t be thrown in jail relating to the first amendment. I don’t like that such things could matter on appeal, but such things could matter on appeal. She’s proven to be very thoughtful but also very thorough in what is a really, really complicated case.

  23. If he were a normal person he would’ve been detained, pending trial, due to being a national security risk.

  24. Yeah dude, we know. We’ve known for years he should be in jail but isn’t.

  25. Proof we are not all treated equally in the eyes of the law!

  26. I’m not a trump person or MAGA person but it’s clear as day they’re using the law to silence people they don’t like or don’t fit their agenda. I don’t like trump but some of these charges are completely bogus. Just imagine the average politician that doesn’t have his money to pay for lawyers…

  27. No crap. That kid who leaked classified documents on Discord is probably at Guantanamo right now with a hood over his head 23/7.

    This MFer, with offenses about a billion times worse, gets to walk around free, insulting and threatening people, and claiming no one has been more persecuted than him.
