Until we see consequences, this will remain true.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

Consequences are for others

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Until we see heads roll, this will remain true.

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

head is for Lindsay Graham

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 155 points 6 months ago

Prosecution should make a motion to exclude him from the courtroom.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 107 points 6 months ago

Defense: "Our client doesn't know who that is."

[-] Lon3star@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Might be the desired outcome

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 months ago

Are you suggesting that Respected Businessman Eric Trump is so stupid that he thinks that he can avoid testifying by getting tossed from the courtroom?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Can’t he be jailed for contempt without any of this “what will the secret service do” bullshit?

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Probably. Don't courthouses have cells? Put him in one of those with the security detail. Hell, even just put him under house arrest with an ankle monitor and take away his cell phone.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 116 points 6 months ago

These people simply believe that the rules do not apply to them... And I guess why would they since reality has proven them correct time and time again.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Idk the name of the phenomenon but humans would rather appease the loud overbearing fuck sticks in our society rather than tell them to eat shit.

Because these people make the most noise despite having the least to say rather than tell them to stfu we coddle them to get them to be quiet.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

Squeaky wheels get the grease

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

And the empty can rattles the most.

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Idk the name of the phenomenon

I believe it's called being obsequious little stains of embarrassment. You know, the exact opposite of what Hollywood movies told the world America was all about.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 49 points 6 months ago

I would love for him to be arrested. You know Trump won't even truth social it later.? I guess that's what you call it. Sending a truth?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 months ago

I think they actually call it "sucking a limp dick". Really, they want it to be different than sending a tweet or sending an insta, so they say, "hey my bros, I was just logging into truth social and I had so many uneducated things to say, yeah, I sucked so many limp dicks on Truth social, it's insane my bros!" or "hey that child getting vaccinated really makes me angry, I'm going to suck a limp dick about this so friggin much on Truth social!"

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

I was about to complain about your suggestion being homophobic, but obviously the "limp" part is key.

It's not an insult towards people who suck dicks, it's an insult to people who are very bad at it and show no willingness to better themselves!

Any (blow)job that's worth doing is a (blow)job worth doing well, as they say!

One used to Tweet. MAGA will Truth.

Something odd, late night host Stephen Colbert will say “[ex-president’s last name] Truthed [some post]”. He wouldn’t even say the last name for a while, and would censor it Tr*mp when written on screen. So I’m surprised he uses the branded form of “post” (“Truth”).

My attorney said that the ballif wouldn't let him in without a tie one time. He had a last minute call from a client and didn't have time to grab one. She finally let him in without one, but this guy can break any rules he wants to.

You wanna play with your fidget spinner, buddy?

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

Oh no. I'm sure this will be punished. 🙄

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago

This should be considered jury tampering and he should get a felony for it. At the very least the FBI needs to make sure he did not take any pictures.

[-] unreasonabro@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

It's fine, the laws were getting onerous anyway, and nobody who cared or understood their intent has been enforcing them for decades...

[-] Tronn4@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I saw a trump ad in YouTube. The other stupid son asking for $5 for his trial defense

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago

I really should donate to uBlock Origin...

Huh, TIL, I can't.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Pure Raymond Hill

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

We don't deserve Raymond

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 11 points 6 months ago

Straight to Jail

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

So is junior getting coddled like his daddy?

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Oh no the judge is going to issue a $1,000 scolding for blatantly violating a court order. This must be devastating whatever will they do.

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

That's like tree-fiddy in our terms

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago
[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 5 points 6 months ago

I wonder what would happen if someone got in trouble for the same thing and sued the city with this as precedence. I imagine it would bomb for a legal reason I have no idea about, but would loved to be proved wrong.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That's a paddlin

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Dad! Dad! I was sticking up for you online Dad!
