For me, the funniest part about this is that if he succeeds in getting all the courts in the nation to essentially declare that he’s legally untouchable across the board, I’m reasonably sure a lot more people are probably going to try to touch him with bullets and energetic exothermic chemical reactions.

It seems that the party of law and order isn't so much into the law part.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

Or order

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

The party of anarchy and chaos is more fitting

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

That actually sounds cool, let's not give them cool slogans.

The party of Weird and Creepy is more fitting.

Basically their argument is "we would hate for him to face consequences for his actions from two elections ago because he's, uh well, running for office again".

Fuck all the way off. Time for a spanking, bitch boy.

Another rich asshole avoiding consequences.

And yet he’s walking free and running for POTUS. Again.

More whining and expectations of coddling from the career criminal.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

It's worked for him so far.

[-] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 2 months ago

Trump is trying to delay? For what purpose? What on earth could his strategy be here? Who can fathom what he's thinking with such a confounding move?

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

If he puts it off long enough he will find a way to get even more immunity.
