A criminal law attorney warned late Friday that a new video appears to show President Donald Trump ran afoul of federal laws when he took the stage at a private dinner event for investors of his meme coin. Trump hosted more than 200 top investors in his personal $TRUMP meme coin on Thursday night at...
And no one is going to do a damn thing about this because the US is not a nation of laws anymore.
He’s not in prison for treason and espionage - it’s doubtful he’s going anywhere no matter how heinous a crime he commits.
He’s…a…fucking…criminal. A criminal is in charge of the law. AND the national piggy bank, but that for another time.
How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they’ll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that’s why. And that’s trumpski - a lying criminal con man. AND a traitor to the country that gave him everything he’s got.
Well it depends on the definition of criminal. Most people have committed something that could be considered a crime. The most common crimes are probably speeding and underage drinking
I have massive problems with prisons and by extension policing. I think prisons are the some of the most cruel institutions on Earth. But I am kind of disappointed that that community isn’t really proposing anything it feels like. Prisons are cruel and need reform, you don’t need to convince me there. The problem is I do think there is a legitimate need for something to protect people, and to separate people who are a serious risk to others.
They say:
creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.
But what?
One idea I think, that is a small reform but I think would actually be very valuable in increasing prisoners quality of life: increased internet access. I think the isolation, and the feeling of being trapped within the prison culture, is very harmful. It would also be easier to bring abuse to public attention.

Grow up. Most “crimes” are bullshit and most “criminals” are fine people.
Nobody wants to be friends with Trump because he’s a fascist who attacks people both legally and illegally, although there’s no conviction/punishment when the rich/privileged commit “crimes”.
Gov was after Capone though. Trump is the gov. And even though technically this isn’t true everyone either doesn’t care or isn’t brave enough to try to do anything

I know you’re making a political point, but tbh, I thought Lemmy would have a better take on criminal justice
Equally petty, but I don’t associate crime with being a bad person.
Speeding is a crime. Drug use is a crime. Evading draconian copyright laws is a crime…
Totally agree. But I think depending on the type of speeding you do can make you a bad person.
There are better takes but you have to search for them.

I wish I could upvote this twice
Well Al Capone was brought down by the IRS, maybe this fucker will be put behind bars by the post office or something… Or maybe nothing will happen
