He's all about ABUSING THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN AMERICA!

4animallife.bsky.social•1 day ago

An 🇦🇺 police board knew in 1987 that Trump was mobbed up; in fact he was mobbed up in the early '80s to get concrete to build Trump Tower.

Why didn't his long mob ties dominate news in 2016?
Or now?

Why's anyone surprised his M.O. is extortion, bribery & racketeering?

If the legal system is meaningless,

then why even have

a Department of Justice

or a Supreme Court?

Bring on the civil war 2.0.

Maybe corporate media needs to be bankrupted. They failed to inform.

These law firms giving Trump free legal work (a thing of value) in exchange for him not enforcing his executive order (an official act) better hope the next administration doesn't enforce the law on bribery. Partners should get convicted and lose their law licenses. They don't deserve them.

Stand up to this fat Gerbil - take him to court - he always loses and he has no right - These EO are the creation of Steven Miller - Who we know to be the second most hateful fool in the WH - He throths over his badly written EO for his hateful saviour Donald.

Well, they're going to be bankrupt now anyway, bc who is going to hire them after being cowards? No one.

THIS IS fascism.

This is it.
It’s happening, right now.

And those firms obeyed in advance.
They didn’t fight.
They didn’t get their clients to fight.
They caved.
These giant billion dollar law firms just rolled over.

Disgusting.
Shameful.
Sad.😢

cpgetch.bsky.social•1 day ago

He doesn’t have the right to extort or threaten lawyers and their firms, that have done their job. You have committed crimes (34 felony counts)and should be held accountable.You are just seeking revenge. Not something any president should be doing. Attacking our rule of law and order.

think4change.bsky.social•1 day ago

This shit needs to be on every media outlet, every newspaper, and every billboard around the whole entire world! This is absolutely outrageous. Complete insanity. Where the fuck are the elected officials that are supposed to be standing up and fighting for the American people?!

elfie-14.bsky.social•32 minutes ago

Who or what gives him the right to act on his personal desire for revenge? Why isn't he stopped? No one is speaking out against the Republicans. Have they already given up on America and sold the country to Trump?

he’s not going to get away with this, remember he’s only president for 4yrs unless he’s remove and if he’s remove he will be prosecuted and charge for all his crimes same with JD and the others we will get them all at the end even JFK he too will pay heavy price in jail

THIS is corruption. This is Fascism. This is NOT The USA.

4animallife.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes it is America now, it's a mafia state. Courtesy of American citizens.

Because 77 million Americans voted for him, and nearly *90 million* Americans were too stupid, apathetic, and/or lazy to *bother* voting to stop his mob takeover of the US.

Not voting IS voting. For the Republican candidate.

nrtn.bsky.social•1 day ago

And now, on to our more important news of freezing eggs, after 10 minutes of this destruction of our society silliness.

tembokanga.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, a lot of this is surreal. Reminds me of news stations reporting about a gruesome murder and then the reporter flashes a big smile and says, “and now moving on to sports…Joe, how’d our ___ do tonight?”

garymending.bsky.social•1 day ago

That wasn’t a puff piece follow-up. It’s a serious story worthy of coverage.

Thank you, 60 Minutes, for having the courage and tenacity to make this report. Marc Elias is very important to keeping Demicracy and our rule of law. I hope more law firms find it within themselves to stand against Trump.

U.S. District Beryl Howell said the executive order against the firm of Perkins Coie amounted to “unconstitutional retaliation”.

Judge Howell, in her ruling, also said: "This action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: ‘The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.’”

Thank you to Scott Pelley and 60 Minutes for having the courage to cover Donald Trump’s pressure campaign against law firms. The free press is under attack. We need journalism that informs — not conforms. Please keep standing for truth & integrity. #60Minutes #FreePress #JournalismMatters #CBSNews

This is all frightening. If powerful law firms cower at Trump’s demands, what chance does the average American have?

So how does anyone hire a law firm who succumbs to bribes from a felon?

It's what those law firms should have asked themselves before they caved.

insiltsnofdandimas.bsky.social•1 day ago

You should define “rule of law” in these pieces. I don’t think I knew what it meant until I lived somewhere it didn’t exist. Lawyers may get it, but I don’t think the average person does.

insiltsnofdandimas.bsky.social•1 day ago

And ask every politician you interview to define it in lay terms. And every lawyer. Bet the results would make a neat piece.

jasonegenberg.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump didn’t run on solutions. He ran on scapegoats. Immigrants were the enemy, fear was the product, and every crisis became a rally. MAGA wasn’t a movement—it was a metronome. Crisis. Blame. Cheer. Repeat. Here’s how the con became a movement.
