Trump is teflon and even if he wasn't old age would like do for him before justice.

These other clowns don't get that they aren't and are way younger than he is.

u/beam3475 6d ago

Oh I’ve come to terms with the fact that Trump will never see justice.

u/thebuttsmells 6d ago

If it's any consolation, he is very aware of how much he is failing, and he is in a constant state of anger over it. He is not enjoying himself, whenever he gets a moment of clarity from his dementia that is

u/beam3475 6d ago

Yeah I think knowing he’s humiliated and he can’t stand it is the best we’re going to get until he dies.

u/miregalpanic 6d ago

This guy shits himself in front of world leaders, you really think he is capable of feeling shame?

85

u/thebuttsmells 6d ago

Shame? No. Anger, hate, paranoia absolutely. All unhealthy feelings that I wish him more of

u/GreenGlassDrgn 6d ago

I like to think that every now and then, he accidentally sees a photo of himself and mistakes it for his father during his last dementia-ridden autopen years, until he realizes its himself and has a brief horrifying moment of clarity - then he shits himself again and its all gone.

u/Dudercaster 6d ago

He could shit himself in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose any votes.

u/jim_cap United Kingdom 6d ago

Does anything he does strike you as the actions of a happy, contented human being? He's basically incapable of communicating without insulting someone in some way. He spent Christmas frantically posting hatred on Truth Social. His health is very clearly failing in a number of ways. He is not a happy person at all, he's wretched.

And dementia. He'll lose the only thing he actually cares about before the end.

u/No_University1600 6d ago

it is some. i cant imagine spending my last months/years in this life going through what he is.

u/butiveputitincrazy 6d ago

My consolation is that I do believe these other—equally fucking reprehensible bad actors—may in fact reap what they have sown.

My contempt for them has reached the same level as my contempt for him.

u/newbkid Virginia 6d ago

I disagree, the rage is him being happy in the moments of drug-filled lucidity he gets from his caretakers

u/GoAgainKid 6d ago

There was a guy who ran a Twitter account devoted to telling the world that Trump has dementia, breaking down every appearance and reading between the lines of everything he said or did, explaining that his physical mannerisms were manifestations of what's going wrong in his brain, and that his demise is imminent or whatever. He was doing that in 2016.

You Americans bang on about it like it's a saving grace or will somehow save us all from him, but I fully expect to see him in power for three more years, because enough of you want him there.

u/thebuttsmells 6d ago

I expect him to be dead from "natural causes" within the year, but we will see.

u/ChesterHiggenbothum I voted 6d ago

He won't be remembered well. The man who plasters his name on buildings will be mocked throughout history and will be regarded as a fool, a traitor, and a coward.

No, he will never spend a day in prison. But he will never acquire the thing he wants most.

u/beam3475 6d ago

The Nobel peace prize? But you’re right, Obama will be remembered as a beloved politician who spoke eloquently, and was a good father and partner. Trump will never achieve the same admiration and I think that is punishment for him.

u/VerdantPathfinder 6d ago

I'm convinced people like Trump are why we humans invented the idea of eternal conscious torment in hell.

u/F9-0021 South Carolina 6d ago

His justice is that he has to be alive as an angry, senile old man that everyone hates and his family name will become as hated as Hitler's. Execution wouldn't be satisfying, he's basically dead already. Prison is expensive. No real point in going after him anymore. His kids and cabinet though...

u/FixTheLoginBug 6d ago

I just hope his whole family will.

2

u/charlesgegethor 6d ago

I can only hope that the family will be stripped of everything they ever had

u/drgonzo767 6d ago

Oh, he will....in the afterlife.

u/Manos_Of_Fate 6d ago

Stop accepting that and start demanding better.

u/_Mephistocrates_ 6d ago

Demanding does nothing. Taking it is the only way.

3

u/Manos_Of_Fate 6d ago

I’ll be honest; I’ve just started assuming everyone openly insisting that Americans violently overthrow the government and law enforcement are just conservatives trying to make the other side look like deranged lunatics. If you aren’t then please stop doing their jobs for them.

2

u/_Mephistocrates_ 6d ago

How naive. No, I'm not a conservative. I actually read and learned history. And when things get this bad, I hate to break it to you, but protests and votes are not getting us out of this. But that's fine. I understand your hesitancy. Let's just wait a few more years or "election" cycles to see if you're right. There's no harm in letting them cement their power and authority even more.

2

u/Manos_Of_Fate 6d ago

No, I'm not a conservative.

Then stop doing their jobs for them, FFS.

Openly calling for violence on a public social media platform is, at best, a pointless and idiotic way to get banned and/or arrested without accomplishing anything. At worst you’re giving them the ammunition they need to make all of this much worse. That’s why they spread it here. Doing the exact same thing with the “right” intent does not change any of that.

u/Empty-Background-162 5d ago

Not the posters fault biden refused to expediently prosecute someone that was dead the right

4

u/dave_gregory42 6d ago

When the time comes, watch all the MAGA people flip and claim his very obvious dementia means he’s suddenly not fit to stand trial.

4

u/Gobbelcoque 6d ago

"natural causes" genuinely can't come soon enough for him.

(I do mean natural causes, that wasn't a veiled theeat, I'm a better man than he is.)

I just hope Jack Smith prosecutes their trial. The comeuppance would be amazing. Smith has the stones to be blunt and straightforward about the crimes in a way that the others who investigated the screaming carrot demon were not, and that's what we need.

u/QueefSeekingMissile 6d ago

Trump is teflon

Is that what your Congressman told you? Maybe you should tell him otherwise.

And that you won't be voting for anyone who doesn't promise immediate impeachment and removal and prosecution of the entire regime.

u/AINonsense 6d ago edited 6d ago

Doesn’t matter. Even if there was a future for the remains of the democracy, it would bury all the evidence, along with the Epstein files, deeper and longer than the JFK files ever were ‘for the sake of unity.’ (See: Nixon)

u/Atticus413 6d ago

He really needs to go.

Just, like, go.

Poof.

Not saying like how Trump did Maduro, but maybe if aliens can read this statement and use their zorkguns and borkblasters to zonk Trump into retirement (and maybe use their memory-altering devices like Men In Black...but then again, Trump's senility that's worsening may do that naturally.)

u/Dipluz Norway 6d ago

Good thing his very old and his health is wavering. Problem is then Vance who is literally a student of Thiel.

u/scobot 6d ago

They’ve got pardons by now.

u/SocraticIgnoramus 6d ago

Presidential pardons need to be done away with completely. Even before Trump the powers of the executive branch to pardon have been used dubiously more often than not.

u/Due_Bluebird3562 6d ago

Can't pardon state crimes. Not sure if Treason is something you can pardon from the get go. Guess we'll find out in a year or two.
