It's like he's untouchable.

[choie]

I just don’t understand how he gets away with the criminality or corruption that he is clearly guilty of. Any other person would be spending their days making license plates, but he almost always gets off Scott free. There really is no justice

Sorry for sounding hopeless and defeated but I’m so very tired of him rarely if ever having to face true accountability.

1. Didn't you know?

The law only applies to Democrats and peons like us.

[unblock]

2. Everything is corrupt these days, he's just skilled at taking full advantage of it.

A Republican house will never impeach him, a senate that isn't 2/3rds democrats will never remove him, his cabinet will never 25th amendment him, the supreme court will only put up token resistance for show, the media will always downplay his evils and blow any accusation against a democrat out of proportion, billionaires will always support him even as he extorts them, etc.

Who's left to hold him accountable?

Until we the people push back with things that really have an impact -- strikes, not marches -- we will only sink further into the abyss.

3. It does make one wonder why the "assassination attempt" has not left him more reticent to put himself

out in public like this. He knows he is not liked (no matter how much he might deny it) by the majority of Americans. He knows he is hurting a lot of people--even his 2024 supporters. He's clearly afraid of dying "with his sins," yet not afraid of those who might be mentally subject to the violent entreaties of others?

4. Our Constitution has proved toothless.

A corrupt Executive branch will not police itself. The Judiciary has been stuffed full of Federalist Society ideologues.

You're not alone in feeling gloomy about this, but DU only allows happy thoughts.

14. Our consitution was drafted by people that have never heard of, or seen weapons used today.

Also they never realized that human beings would ever become MAGA'S They had to fight tooth and nail to get our democracy we have today. It's up to us to fight ANYWAY possible to ensure this constitution survives. The balls in our court. At some point, if we don't stop these monsters, controlling both houses will NOT be enough. They will laugh at the decisions passed by the Democratic controlled houses. They have already become so powerful that they are not listening to judges orders, and it's only gonna get worse. Everyone's afraid that TSF will declare Martial law on us. ( i actually don't think we will be able to stop him from doing that. I don't know what it will take, but just demonstrations won't get it done. I do not have any true answers, but somebody better and soon.

5. It's grim & we're in a bad place, but cracks are starting to show.

Joe Rogan spoke out against the Trump admin about Epstein. Farmers are pissed on two fronts, deportations interfering with labor & tariffs with their markets. He can fake or hide the numbers all he wants, but people will feel that the economy is doing poorly & if investors think the numbers are cooked the market will tank, too. He's gonna do a ton of damage before he's gone though, & JD won't be much better, just less popular & easier to beat in 2028.

[vapor2]

6. Keep the EPSTEIN narrative alive DAILY

[B.See]

7. Like their phony-a*** "concern" for crime, malfeasance, etc. MAGA

doesn't give A FLYING about Epstein. Not REALLY. They'll rationalize and excuse the hell out of - will even DEFEND it if they must.

So don't count on them to rise from the gutters they so comfortably DWELL in.

[Orrex]

8. And all it took was a wholly corrupt GOP, SCOTUS, and media

[popsdenver]

9. All of this crap

has been going on since 1980.............many of us here have been shouting our heads off from the rooftops since then.............

[Grim Chieftain]

10. I could not agree more, choie

Every day I say the same thing. This evil stain on the presidency gets away with the most abhorrent affronts on our democracy each and every day. Where are the checks and balances, the blow back, the outrage? It's like our country has been taken over without so much as a raised fist. I am stunned beyond words.

[PatSeg]

11. Putin taught him well

I don't see Trump as smart enough to pull all this off on his own. He had an experienced, skilled teacher who also provided him with a whole lot of help in the form of blackmail, bribery, social media bots, and probably much more.

[wolfie001]

12. 6 fascist/religious fanatics on the SC are doing all of this

Simple as that.

[choie]

13. It's. It only them.

Even the goddamn NY Court of appeals through out the financial penalty that he received as a result of his and his sons massive fraud. Some of the justices saying Letitia James overreached. What the fuck?
