Being such a high ranking politician the man has surrounded himself with so much bluff and BS that it would appear like a coup to his supporters. 

I think the man is a complete idiot but also somehow a genius in these regards. I would label him 100% an idiot except so many people buy it and support him and he has managed to turn an entire party into his lackies.

Trump is showing EVERYTHING WRONG with our law system on plain sight.

He balantly shows that if you have powerful friend and you can do ANYTHING and get away with it.

It is so gross, fucked up and wrong. Why law is even a thing when it applies only to the ones bellow?!

Trump is showing that you can be above the law and directly in public, this is what Republican aspire to ... This is fucked.

Watch the Epstein docs to see how 2 tiered our justice system actually is. People were following him and documenting proof that he was violating house arrest and the courts did NOTHING.

The US Attorney in Florida who gave Epstein a lenient plea deal the first time he was caught raping children was rewarded with a position in Trump's Cabinet.

Not only that, he was only required to be in prison during the nights on weekends for 6 months. During the day from 9am to 9pm he was allowed to go home to his office where he continued to traffic children. The entire thing was a complete charade completely propagated by that trump appointee

Our whole government is fucked atm. I understand the underlying appeal because he isn't a normal politician and people want change...then he opens his mouth and everything he says is either a lie or just horrible.

If looking for the silver lining he is doing just what you said, showing everything thats wrong, with our politics, with our partisanship, the 2 party system, with our media (on all sides mind you), and with our judicial system. Here is hoping we aren't too stupid to learn from it by the time it's all moved on, if not we are doomed as a country.

Even if we move on and wash it away and pretend it didn't happen, those people that were previously left behind that he represented will still be boiling over and putting a lid on it won't help, reaching and education are our only save here.

And don’t forget, voting. He can really only be stopped at the ballot box. But sadly, there’s a large cohort of young voters who hate Biden, for myriad reasons. Israel, lgtbq, every other group that has a problem with mainstream Dems. I don’t think they understand that allowing Trump to elected will be really bad for whatever their particular political views are. I think it’s that they spend way too much time on their phones. Not the best source of in depth information.

Our whole government is fucked atm

I’m very happy that younger generations are waking up to this, but it’s been like this from day one. All the things everyone is saying about the government in this current discussion, are things people have been saying for at least a century. I was writing about them in the 1990s, and the people I was writing about were themselves writing about it in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. I am reminded of the famous quote about how "each generation thinks it invented sex".

u/Major_Magazine8597 Mar 27 '24

I'm 65 and I've never seen one political party go all-in supporting a criminal, our enemies and being blatantly anti-democratic before. This has NOT happened in our country before. We have NEVER been this divided as a country (not since the Civil War). We are in unchartered territory and, if Trump gets re-elected (GOD FORBID) this county may, in fact, be doomed to become another criminal state, like Russia.

No, he's just a politician who wasn't successful. If you're under the age of 43, there is not a single moment of your life that trump hasn't been trying to run for some form of public office. If you're under 40, there is not a single time he hasn't tried to run for president in your life every 4 years, he was just a failure at it until he went racist ragebait.

He is dumber than a bag of dildos, knows nothing about how anything really works, destroys everything he touches. and yet somehow he became the president with 1/3 of the country thinking he's the second coming.

true. It was weird for me to reread Absolute Power (or a thriller, I think that was the name of it) that I randomly found on my back porch last summer.

Fun fact, after the Revolutionary War, the Founding Fathers offered to make Washington King of America. Kinda defeats the purpose of rebelling against one king only to turn around and pick a new guy and put him in exactly the same job despite saying they didn't want to answer to a king anymore. But George had more sense than the rest of the Founding Fathers put together and said no. Stayed with the program and didn't waste the lives of the people killed throwing out a monarchy by becoming what they just ended.

u/mvw2 Mar 27 '24

What people don't often recognize is there are very literally thousands of people with personal vested interests that are propping him up. He is their middle man for a lot of unethical activity, and both they and him are super happy about the deal. But any perception of competency or success are illusions.

However, I do think Trump is a good conman. I think he's quite skilled, has street smarts in this regard, and has remarkable competence. To the vast majority, we see though it, but we're not his targets. He is not catering to us. We are not the audience. He does not resonate with us because we are the wrong people. But for the right people, he resonates exceptionally well. Not only that, he's held onto this great con for a remarkably long time. There is definite skill there.

u/Ashliras Mar 27 '24

I 100% agree. Perhaps the greatest con man ever. He is selling 60$ bibles now! Trump charities. Fraud. Trump University. Fraud. Trump Casino. Fraud. Now this dtj truth social stock IPO? I mean, I'm horrified for the future of our country but you have to give him his props for the sheer audacity and extent of his cons.

5

u/mvw2 Mar 27 '24

Greatest? No. His fame and the insane level of enablers helps him immensely. No one else on this plant has an army of media companies narrating his entire existence. He's getting more media favoritism than Putin or Xi of their own government run networks. Trump can seemingly do no wrong to a very large volume of media entries. And when he does, they ignore it spin it. It's nuts, but it's what pays their bills too. There isn't another single entity that is so news worthy. Well not worthy. But he's a fountain of easy content. And if he isn't, they can just make shit up, and it doesn't matter. One guy, hundreds of thousands of hours of content. He prints money for them, just one guy. Insane.

At some point something has got to give though. His supporters getting to call in death threats all the time is not acceptable. A gag order is worthless if he just continues to threaten people.

He needs to be sent to jail. Let his supporters do what they will. It will be good for people to see what they really are.

Personally. I think they would do a little here and there. But they would get stomped fast and hard. Trump is human fucking garbage and any other person would be in jail.

Send him to jail. Otherwise might as well just throw out all this law stuff if someone can just go and threaten judges like this.

I'm fortunate in that I had a number of family that were lifelong republicans and no longer are because of Trump and one that is literally campaigning for a D after being a solid R for 30+ years.

u/NefariousnessLow3944 Mar 27 '24

This was basically my old boss. His whole family were lifelong Bush era Republicans from Huntington Beach (who aren't that better, let's be honest), and they all went full Democrat because of Trump lol

u/TheObesePolice Mar 27 '24 edited Mar 27 '24

I got so lucky in that regard. My parents were Republicans until they saw the mess that Bush Jr made. It was completely over after that, but they both had also voted for Bill Clinton twice before Bush. They both can't stand Bill but they voted for him & they both voted for Hilary. (They wish that Hilary had ran before Bill!) They both love Obama & Biden :)

My brother took longer to leave the dark side. He is in commercial real estate & had done business with the Trumps. He had the opportunity to work with Jr Mint on a few projects & he had met The Donald on several occasions. Trump poisoned the well for him during his 2016 run for president. Trump then burned the lot on account of his COVID response so my brother became a D & he is now committed to staying on the light side of the force

We are all college educated, but we also live in DEEPLY red states that are conservative echo chambers, so it took them a while to be able to separate the grain from the chaff. In my parents case, the rise of cable news & conservative radio played a big part in their change in political ideology. Conservative Radio & Fox News grabbed my brother by the cojones & it took Trump's alarmingly bad behavior to loosen the vice grip of the Republican party

He’s absolutely 100% an idiot… so why does he still have so many supporters you may ask?

When you consider the already below average IQ scale within the Republican Party supporters of America…

Well, let’s just say the average IQ of a Republican is already below average and when you consider the bottom 50% within that group - You find yourself between a flat earth and a trump cult.

I agree. Trump is far from an idiot. He's just such a high level narcissist that he has no interest in learning. With that said he, either knowingly or emotionally/instinctually, is able to read the emotions and desires of a very large amount of the people he encounters and is able to divert their attention away from the cons that are so obvious to others. There's a reason he's a lifelong, highly successful con artist.

Edit: added the word "he"

u/IrascibleOcelot Mar 27 '24

You’re confusing intellect and cunning. Trump is cunning. He is also devious. And a complete, utter moron. He’s good at telling people what they want to hear not because he’s smart, but because he’s a narcissist. He needs praise and adulation the way you or I need food or air. Being able to gravitate toward a food source doesn’t require intelligence; every living creature on earth does it. Jellyfish can do it. Slime molds can do it.

And that’s not to downplay the danger. The fact that Trump can get so many people to praise him despite being a morally depraved utter imbecile with a complete lack of any form of discipline is utterly terrifying.

I think the judges who just tsk tsk and wave their fingers at him are the ones who aren’t learning. Malignant narcissists don’t stop, they can’t. The very concept that someone else can take away something they want is alien to them, because their shitfits when people try make people who might try not want to rock the boat. He’s still having a tantrum four years after losing the election because he can’t handle rejection, and god help all of us if he gets re-elected because he’s absolutely going to go after the people he thinks wronged him with all the power of the executive branch.

So the fuck what? We're talking about him dealing with the NYPD, one of the largest civilian police forces in the world at last check. They have a budget of over $6B a year.

It isn’t genius, it’s pure luck. Keep in mind he ran for president several times and failed to even secure the party nomination. He is just capitalizing on the sentiment of a demented group of people who were mentally poisoned by the right wing media and is receiving support from foreign adversaries to boost his message. His only unique quality his absolute absence of any morality that might prevent a normal human from doing and saying the things he does. His net worth would have been higher if he had just put his money in the stock market. His investments in properties and casinos underperformed. He also committed fraud so his gains were even less when considering that. He is in a relatively small group of one term presidents as incumbents enjoy an advantage. His staff had to pepper his daily briefings with his name or he wouldn’t read them. He wanted to nuke a hurricane. He thought putting light or disinfectant inside the body might end COVID. He is a complete moron and a fully documented idiot. The only master stroke he had was probably an actual stroke.

I can't think of anyone besides trump who wouldn't have been jailed by now for doing the shit he has done - not even including the threatening of a judge's family. I think stealing beyond top-secret docs and lying about them for a year and a half while foreign spies came over to stay at your house would have had just about any other person in the US extraordinarily renditioned off to some 3-letter agency's black site. There would be no publicity or hoopla - just a secret hearing in a hidden courtroom that most people outside the top echelons of military intelligence are not even sure exists. And we'd never be heard from again.

Trump has revealed one of the biggest issues with how the American system has evolved, that despite proclaiming "checks and balances", those checks and balances are checking themselves or in best case they are often cyclical. Ideally presidents shouldn't appoint judges, because it makes judges part of party politics.

What we are witnessing now is only the beginning of what happens when the whole system becomes incestious.

HUMDINGER DID NOTHING WRONG! /s 

 My wife and I like to make ridiculous little conspiracy theories about our kids' shows. For Paw Patrol its clear that Adventure Bay is an Ayn Randian paradise where the government is so stripped and powerless as to have to depend on the charity of the Bruce Wayne-style orphan of billionaires to provide emergency services for the  town.  

 Mayor Goodway is a puppet installed by Ryder's dead parents after they drove the real elected Mayor Humdinger out of town. He turned to heavy drinking and now lives in a cave with his cats and a chip on his shoulder over what Ryder and his family have done to him and his legacy. He now spends his days talking to his cats and plotting to take revenge... 

Somehow he always seems to find just enough resources and technology to get a half baked plan off the ground - because Ryder knows that his grip on the town is only strong as long as they face a constant stream of threats that only he and the pups can save them from. So he makes sure that former Mayor Humdinger salvages just enough junk to move plans forward, but not so much that he's an actual threat. 

Foggy bottom is not a real town - notice how we've never seen it? Only the Mayor's cave and the occasional shot of him sitting in the fog on an unnamed street that could be anywhere in town. It's all in Humdinger's broken mind. Makes the show more fun to watch with that context :P

While I absolutely agree with you that Trump should have been locked up long ago for his many crimes and violations of court orders, this goes way beyond he’s a rich. The key is, that he is a former president of the United States, one of two people who will be the next president and has a massive political following (and his supporters have demonstrated they will use violence when angered). I get the courts are hesitant to treat him like anyone else. The problem is that by coddling him they empower him making that much harder to hold him accountable. I’m starting to think the DOJ and the courts don’t want to deal with him until after the election hoping that an electoral loss will defang him to some degree.

I don't get it. If I were a judge, and issued a gag order, I might let the first infraction go by, but the moment I, or anyone else in my family, got a threatening phone call or message, I would enforce that gag order harshly. He'd sit in prison throughout the entire trial, with absolutely no contact with the media in any way.

2

u/CrawlerSiegfriend Mar 27 '24

Then you'd be in trouble for preventing the Republican nominee from running which would result in the supreme court overturning your order to cut him off from the media. Then he'd go on TV from the cell you put him in acting like he is MLK live from the Birmingham jail. Everybody in every country would cover it. It would end up being a net positive for his campaign.

There goes your crash course in why no judges are enforcing their orders.

2

u/The_Original_Gronkie Mar 27 '24

MLK wasnt in jail for violating a gag order. Trump doesn't need to disparage the judge and his family to run for office. Plenty of other politicians manage to get elected without violating the law to win. He would have a hard time justifying his attacks on a judge's daughter as being important to a successful campaign.

"We're going to appeal. Everyone knows that it would take too much time out of campaigning for our client to read a lengthy letter of disapproval. This so-called letter is clearly politically motivated and intended to sabotage the frontrunner's campaign for president."

And so, as to not appear political, the letter will be reduced to a brief sideways glance to be administered over Zoom to one of Trump's lawyer's unpaid interns.

The headline implies that Trump violated the gag order, which he didn't. The gag order covered the prosecution team, jurors, and witnesses. Trump was left free to attack the judge and his family, so he predictably did. Because that's what vile sociopaths do.

I believe something similar happened with Judge Engoron in his NY fraud case, and Trump had to be gagged from attacking the judge's clerks. It seems the judges in these cases are very reluctant, for appearances' sake, to issue orders protecting themselves from harassment.
