Donald Trump broke the law, and now he’s dealing with the consequences of his actions.

This is not complicated.

@johnrogers.bsky.social 3rd law of crime:

"Rule 3: Nothing ever stops until a Rich White Guy goes to jail."

(We note with some hesitancy that Trump has not YET been jailed.)

The New York Post is just yellow journalism, I once caught one of their reporters making up quotes and she got pissed about it

Salena Zito? Her made up quotes are the best

The Murdochs that own this tabloid know they could be next.

And this Republican line of defense “well, no one was harmed by Trump’s financial shenanigans” is such BS. Following this logic I could rob a bank and then claim in court that I should be acquitted because “since all investors were insured, no one was harmed”

Even using organized crime-speak to refer to him as “The Don”.

The cognitive dissonance in their brain must be as crunchy as dry breakfast cereal.

Murdoch. Nuff said.

God the NYP is such a swill bucket

He could have stayed rich and protected by the illusion of his money (fake billionaire). He went Icarus because he wanted to be a dictator.

kimoco.bsky.social•348 days ago

So sad that we have millions of Americans who will vote for this guy even if he is convicted of several felonies.

beefreeferlives.bsky.social•348 days ago

What's really sad is they're convinced that they're "Law & Order" Americans, when they're aiding and abetting a felon.

mikevago.bsky.social•348 days ago

In fairness, this is also the most dishonest newspaper in America, which is saying something given they're across town from the But Her Emails Times.

norbizness.bsky.social•348 days ago

You know, the GOP, the Law and Order Party of Personal Responsibility Who Also Backs the Blue (Unless They Are Beaten by a Trump-Loving Insurrectionist)

its-just-wayne.bsky.social•348 days ago

'The Don'? Just openly referring to him as the head of a crime syndicate and nobody is going to bat an eye about it because it's just become normal for people like him to be leaders in our politics.

ashokhotnik.bsky.social•348 days ago

I noticed that as well.
The Post is completely sucking up.

stpetedave.bsky.social•347 days ago

I’m sure he sees it that way, but he’s wrong about everything

sandibehrns.bsky.social•348 days ago

Such a weird idea, too. A bankrupt Trump will spend exactly as much of his own money on his campaign as he always has: $0

sdrose.bsky.social•348 days ago

The karmic perfection of trump’s current situation cannot be overstated. He has spent a lifetime thumbing his nose at norms, rules, & laws. He built a criminal enterprise & proceeded to break every law possible. It’s crashing all at once.

All chickens come home to roost. Schadenfreudelicious!

balmybalmer.bsky.social•348 days ago

No one is plotting, it it the punitive portion of the law which trump broke.

sciencepolice.bsky.social•348 days ago

If conservatives were capable of self-reflection, then (even though Trump got all sorts of preferential treatment in all these myriad cases) the occasional glimpses of our fucked-up judicial system going after their guy would be a learning experience.

"We nominated a criminal and we think that's somehow your problem."

marilee99.bsky.social•348 days ago

Shout out to Latricia James for the courage and strength to see this through. She is the reason!!

bryanwenzel.bsky.social•348 days ago

PLUS

" " Democrats " " didn't " " bankrupt the Don " "

DON bankrupted the Don by having incredibly criminal habits and terrible decision making with his financial workings

That he's just NOW being made to account for his crimes is a failing of our justice system. Should have been decades ago
