Literally the most hilarious thing I've read all week. Honestly I wonder if anyone who was involved in this article actually believes that.

It just reads like more placation of the angry masses. "no need to burn things down, we promise he will be gone soon, no protesting necessary either"

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 250 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I been hearing this for about 4 years now.

Myself falling for hope because Trump made me unemployed:

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 58 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Myself flying over from Canada wondering what you guys are doing

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Myself after being born into white trash in Texas, never having love for this country, having to stave off poverty for two decades during my lifetime, having taught myself code as my peers resigned themselves to manual labor, and having no options to emigrate out because I have no ties to any origin countries that make up my genetics.

I wish I could be a Canadian. I'd be friendly, helpful, and pay my taxes on time. I'm going to die impoverished in the "land of opportunity".

The ruling class benefiting from every aspect of all of this.

I think this thread proves that there needs to be a peanuts meme community

Similar to the case where he was convicted of multiple felonies and given (checks notes) not even a slap on the wrist?

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But it's on his permanent record! Surely that's punishment enough.

If Trump faces any consequences during his term, I’ll eat my fucking hat.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I would exclude assassination from that bet if i were you.

[–] urno@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

I’m already disfigured from crossing my fingers too hard.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

I wouldn't. The people who would actually do that are part of his cult.

oh great, we're back to the old "trump's in biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trouble THIS TIME!!!" headlines

can we please stop it with these bullshit posts? they are not uplifting, they are infuriating, because if it didn't happen after however tf many felonies, then it's never going to happen

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 weeks ago

Trumps deep into mock court listing his crimes and him being put against the wall territory.

[–] shaggyb@lemmy.world 69 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fucking DO IT ALREADY THEN

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 65 points 2 weeks ago

Do those "legal experts" have the ability to enforce the law?

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 57 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I wish I could say this is a click bait title, but its more like the title was written based on the assumption no one will click to read the article. No where in there were there any legal experts(Lawyers, Judges or legal scholars). No where in there did anyone actually suggest he'd face any consequences for his actions. Total bs title intended to give a few people hope I guess. Not really sure what the thought process was. Probably wasn't one of those either.

I've heard that before and won't get my hopes up.

He has enough money to Stall out a court until he's long dead...

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 51 points 2 weeks ago

Give me a fucking break. If that cunt meets justice, it’ll happen on the street.

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago

Can I downvote this any harder? We've been hearing "prison time" for years, just dangling a carrot. I'm not even going to bother reading this.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 36 points 2 weeks ago

Not gonna read this, if Trump was ever going to face consequences, it would have happened by now. The rapist is gonna die peacefully in his sleep eventually. There is no god.

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 33 points 2 weeks ago

I won't hold my breath..

Trust me bro, just one more lawsuit and the Nazis are gone.

The only way that remotely happens is if the dems take congress in 2026 and impeach and remove him (they'd probably have to get vance too). Which seems highly unlikely and has a high risk of another jan 6 like event.

I'd like to believe it, really, but there is no way that he ever sees justice for his crimes. He'll die of a cheeseburger-related heart attack before that happens.

Everyone who still reads articles that say 'blah blah looking at, blah blah might be" and gets hopeful are morons. He will keep getting away with whatever he wants. These articles have been happening for 10 years now and nothing EVER HAPPENS.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

the only way trump will ever see justice is if he gets Luigied.

I'll believe it, when I see it.

For the past 8 years they've been saying he "may" do this, or he "may" get punished for that, and everyone twiddled their thumbs until morons elected him into office again, making it all impossible again

[–] BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

Stfu click bait. Why would he suddenly start experiencing consequences?

If that dude faced consequences I will eat my hat

Sounds good. But until he is marched into prison in a orange jumpsuit I’m not celebrating.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 weeks ago

Some people commit a felony and get punished for four years or more, Trump commits 34 felonies and we get punished for four years (or more)

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

He's been facing prison for years already, yet here we are

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 18 points 2 weeks ago

In and ideal world, sure.

But this article and the people who published it are deeply unserious.

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago

I'll say what I've been saying for 9 years: I'll believe it when I see it.

[–] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 16 points 2 weeks ago

Nothing involving trump's face is uplifting

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago

I seriously, seriously doubt it. As much as the insiders all hate trump with an absolute vengeance, he is too goddamn useful for them to want to get rid of him.

Trump is a symptom of a much, much larger systemic issue that has been on slow burn for decades, but the thing that Trump does that no one else can do is have such a massive fanatical fanbase. They do not have any other person who can rile people up while also being an absolute moron who insults them at every turn and treats them worse than whatever shit he has them lick off his shoes.

If the bullet fired at him last year had hit him between the eyes and killed him before he hit the ground, it would not solve the problem, but it would have abso-fucking-lutely had a massive effect on everything. It would have hindered their ability to go forward with a lot of shit since his fanbase would have been heavily divided. Trump's attribute is that he is the glue that keeps their movement together, but not the actual mover of that movement. Trump doesn't have beliefs. He does not give a fuck about anything other than himself. He does not care about his children, grandchildren, wife, ex-wives/mistresses, his country, his friends (whom he does not have). He does not care at all about anything other than self-aggrandizement, enriching himself, and staying out of prison/legal punishment for his countless misdeeds.

Can we please keep depressing American politics out of "uplifting news"? I'm not subscribed to this community to see "Hitler definitely getting in biiiiig trouble" for the twenty seventh time.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 2 weeks ago

Any day now....

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

What kind of AI generated blog spam website is this, why is a US website named Sarkari Form

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Right, bcz this guy has faced so many consequences already...I'll believe it when I see it.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

Bit hard to be a legal expert from a foreign prison.
