Trump has the “amped up” part covered with his uppers, but he can’t put together a logical sentence, let alone an idea or “paint a picture” of his plan for anything.
What do you mean? His recent stuff about sharks and batteries was amazing :)

basement crank and was excited to try it, so I horked a rail
I love your words.
I just finished Lost Judgment, he’s probably out prosecuting his own client for a different crime at his own defence appeal as we speak. Oh, I thought you said Takuya Yagami.
wow, posh spice let herself go
FYI they are called “public schools” because historically, anyone could go to them as long as they could afford the fee. The only other schools around at the time were faith schools. State schools in England would not exist until the 1880s, and in a form we’d recognize today until the 1940s
Just curious, does it work this way for regular people? It seems like the justice system really puts on the kid gloves for these right wing shitbags.
Absolute madness, I still don’t understand why the right tried to turn a public health crisis into an issue of freedom and “owning the libs” or whatever.
All they had to do was sell MAGA branded masks and they could have made money while protecting their followers! Hell, they could have branded the vaccine the “freedom jab” and made getting it all about “doing your part” and patriotism. Fucking nutbars.
How’s the future? Things get any better?
He’s really shitting himself about being sentenced isn’t he? Good.
Sentencing is determined based on character, severity of crime, and likelihood to commit another crime
Surely he’s fucked then? He commits crimes constantly and character-wise, he’s the biggest douchebag in the history of America.
Thinking of his character reminds me of something written by one of my countrymen in 2016:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
"A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?’ If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set." - Nate White
Justice delayed is justice denied.
I doubt he goes to prison. People who get in trouble for this sorta thing tend to not go to prison.
Trump’s lawyer and fixer got 3 years in jail already for this crime. It was also his first offence. It would be pretty unfair to send the monkey to jail and not the organ grinder for the same crime.
You’re probably right though, Trump is clearly getting special treatment because of his proclivity to stochastic terrorism.
This is a witch hunt, fixed trial
He was convicted by 12 New York jurors, some of which were approved by his own defence.
You know it’s Bidens DoJ
The DoJ is a federal organisation, they don’t prosecute state crimes.
I’m not American. How can it be that these Trump supporters are so ignorant of how their own country works?
I read this in the voice of the alien from omicron persei 8 on Futurama
Yep, yet somehow he’s allowed to run again instead of being behind bars.
The show just sucks for a variety of other reasons.
Terrible writing. It’s been bloody awful for a few seasons now imo. I don’t care about the race or gender of any of the actors, but you’ve got to give me good storylines.
There will be insanity if he’s allowed to run at all.
There should be no way for people to participate in a democracy they have attempted to overthrow, and these fuckers are absolutely going to try again. It will be a shitshow. I hope the US justice system comes through, but it will be a very dangerous time for America if Trump and his cronies are not prosecuted for their crimes before the next election.
Oh no, this is panino vs panini all over again
I don’t give a fuck if someone who used to have balls won the women’s soccer division give me my rights back you lying piece of shit ass sucker
While I completely agree with your sentiment, I would imagine that some of the women in your scenario might find it extremely unfair to be competing with someone who has an innate physical advantage over them.
That’s the problem with this culture war stuff, what should be reasoned debate becomes polarised shouting matches and people calling each other nazis.
Are you guys all sockpuppets, posting from the FreeTaxUSA office or something?
