A few years ago, a Hungarian friend was educating me on the incredible corruption of the Orban regime. IIRC, he showed me a photo of the Hungarian equivalent of a supreme court justice shaking Orbans hand and apologizing - apologizing for having sentenced Fidesz (Orban's party) to a totally symbolic fine for breaking some rules about campaign ads or something.

This seems a lot like that. Yet the same libs who would talk about how awful the Hungarian system is will surely keep telling me that the US is, despite its flaws, a beacon of democracy.

I know i'm preaching to the choir here but I seriously want to ask the libs: How is this anything but a complete and unconditional surrender of the legal system? You broke the law. You were convicted of a serious crime. Your sentence is that you're free to go sir, "god speed".

Like that's fucking it. If the laws ever did matter they sure as fuck don't anymore. He is materially above it and free from all consequences. So what are you gonna fucking do about it?

Prosecutors had recommended the sentence, saying in court Friday, “we must be respectful of the office of the presidency”

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

Let's see him wriggle himself out of th-

Oh

But he will have to live with the shame of being a felon while being the most powerful person in the world and living on a tropical resort with a gold toilet.

It's funny. Trump is the best American. The quintessential American. If all Americans were blended up to a goop and then baked in an oven, Trump would be the result.

I'm sorry, not to give any respect to due process for prosecution but

Prosecutors had recommended the sentence, saying in court Friday, “we must be respectful of the office of the presidency” and Trump’s pending inauguration.

That's insane. So I could commit a crime and just win an election in order to get out of punishment? Winning an election doesn't negate a crime...

I mean we all knew this was more or less going to happen, right?

Libs will go back to trusting the legal system tomorrow because what else are they going to do?

Someone's going to shoot trump dead and people will be like "oh no you have to use the legal system that's how things need to be"

Has reddit started blaming leftists for this yet?

The walls are really closing in

But we told him he was a very bad boy

Not much a conviction, more like a nice thought

I suppose none of this really matters, but at least make him pardon himself. This is just going to feed all the "Biden was exploiting the legal system to hurt Trump" hogs

He may not have faced material consequences, but he was held accountable.

😌

Teflon Don

But once this goes to appeals...Donnie is done for.

If the penalty for a crime you were caught and convicted of doing is literally nothing, then it would be foolish to not be a criminal

Who could have seen this coming!

Looks like he wriggled out of this one.
