Literally the most hilarious thing I've read all week. Honestly I wonder if anyone who was involved in this article actually believes that.

It just reads like more placation of the angry masses. "no need to burn things down, we promise he will be gone soon, no protesting necessary either"

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 71 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I been hearing this for about 4 years now.

Myself falling for hope because Trump made me unemployed:

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 months ago

Myself flying over from Canada wondering what you guys are doing

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Myself after being born into white trash in Texas, never having love for this country, having to stave off poverty for two decades during my lifetime, having taught myself code as my peers resigned themselves to manual labor, and having no options to emigrate out because I have no ties to any origin countries that make up my genetics.

I wish I could be a Canadian. I'd be friendly, helpful, and pay my taxes on time. I'm going to die impoverished in the "land of opportunity".

The ruling class benefiting from every aspect of all of this.

I think this thread proves that there needs to be a peanuts meme community

Give me a fucking break. If that cunt meets justice, it’ll happen on the street.

[-] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago

Can I downvote this any harder? We've been hearing "prison time" for years, just dangling a carrot. I'm not even going to bother reading this.

[-] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 32 points 3 months ago

Similar to the case where he was convicted of multiple felonies and given (checks notes) not even a slap on the wrist?

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago

But it's on his permanent record! Surely that's punishment enough.

Not gonna read this, if Trump was ever going to face consequences, it would have happened by now. The rapist is gonna die peacefully in his sleep eventually. There is no god.

Trust me bro, just one more lawsuit and the Nazis are gone.

The only way that remotely happens is if the dems take congress in 2026 and impeach and remove him (they'd probably have to get vance too). Which seems highly unlikely and has a high risk of another jan 6 like event.

I'd like to believe it, really, but there is no way that he ever sees justice for his crimes. He'll die of a cheeseburger-related heart attack before that happens.

Everyone who still reads articles that say 'blah blah looking at, blah blah might be" and gets hopeful are morons. He will keep getting away with whatever he wants. These articles have been happening for 10 years now and nothing EVER HAPPENS.

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

the only way trump will ever see justice is if he gets Luigied.

Do those "legal experts" have the ability to enforce the law?

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

Fucking DO IT ALREADY THEN

If Trump faces any consequences during his term, I’ll eat my fucking hat.

K. Let me know when it happens. I'll believe it then. I'll just keep hoping until then.

Sounds good. But until he is marched into prison in a orange jumpsuit I’m not celebrating.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

He's been facing prison for years already, yet here we are

[-] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 months ago

I'll say what I've been saying for 9 years: I'll believe it when I see it.

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 months ago

Some people commit a felony and get punished for four years or more, Trump commits 34 felonies and we get punished for four years (or more)

[-] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

I've heard that before and won't get my hopes up.

He has enough money to Stall out a court until he's long dead...

[-] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 16 points 3 months ago

Nothing involving trump's face is uplifting

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

I seriously, seriously doubt it. As much as the insiders all hate trump with an absolute vengeance, he is too goddamn useful for them to want to get rid of him.

Trump is a symptom of a much, much larger systemic issue that has been on slow burn for decades, but the thing that Trump does that no one else can do is have such a massive fanatical fanbase. They do not have any other person who can rile people up while also being an absolute moron who insults them at every turn and treats them worse than whatever shit he has them lick off his shoes.

If the bullet fired at him last year had hit him between the eyes and killed him before he hit the ground, it would not solve the problem, but it would have abso-fucking-lutely had a massive effect on everything. It would have hindered their ability to go forward with a lot of shit since his fanbase would have been heavily divided. Trump's attribute is that he is the glue that keeps their movement together, but not the actual mover of that movement. Trump doesn't have beliefs. He does not give a fuck about anything other than himself. He does not care about his children, grandchildren, wife, ex-wives/mistresses, his country, his friends (whom he does not have). He does not care at all about anything other than self-aggrandizement, enriching himself, and staying out of prison/legal punishment for his countless misdeeds.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 months ago

oh great, we're back to the old "trump's in biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trouble THIS TIME!!!" headlines

can we please stop it with these bullshit posts? they are not uplifting, they are infuriating, because if it didn't happen after however tf many felonies, then it's never going to happen

Sensational clickbait headline,.stop posting nonsense

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

What kind of AI generated blog spam website is this, why is a US website named Sarkari Form

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

A mountain of felonies, millions of civil rights violations, violent insurrection, and not only is he not currently in prison for his crimes…

[-] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

He may be doing illegal shit that people want to put a stop to, but half the government backs him completely, and blindly. And the other half is a bunch of spineless pussies who care more about their donors and their own optics than bettering the country. Nobody is gonna do anything about it

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

LOL
I've been hearing that since Trump 1.
Any day now.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 11 points 3 months ago

He is literally a criminal already, if he's not in jail now he will never be unless democrats act or he is shunned from republican party

[-] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 months ago

I wish I could say this is a click bait title, but its more like the title was written based on the assumption no one will click to read the article. No where in there were there any legal experts(Lawyers, Judges or legal scholars). No where in there did anyone actually suggest he'd face any consequences for his actions. Total bs title intended to give a few people hope I guess. Not really sure what the thought process was. Probably wasn't one of those either.

maybe you stop predicting and actually start doing instead of getting my hopes up all the time legal experts.

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

Should have gone to jail a long ass time ago...

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Trump will die a free man, sadly. The justice system has already made up it's mind and nothing he does will ever be punished, no matter what.

Now, how he dies is still up in the air. I think the odds are already not in his favor to have a peaceful death in his sleep. The best he can hope for is a disease taking him out at this point.
