Do people think that having 4 criminal cases pending against you is meaningless? Like... This is accurate and prosecutions are moving forward. The fuck do you want? That's how it works.
55I assume it's just the pace, but overall there's plenty of reasons to be frustrated.
There's already talk about how some of these cases might not be resolved until after the election, at which point, depending on how it goes, could be extremely problematic.
It feels frustrating because it's mid-2023, and we may "run out of time" by end of 2024. People ask what the fuck was happening for 2.5 years? The reality of course is justice is not always, nor necessarily should be swift, and getting these investigations even started takes time to say nothing of collecting evidence and putting together a case. But also, 20 years ago even a single criminal indictment probably would have spelled the end of a Presidential campaign, and instead, Trump is successfully fundraising off of these charges and leading the polls.
It's all just bonkers.
25Yep. Its a slow process.
They are collecting evidence. Witness statements and such.
They are NOT rushing this. It would be a shitshow.
12There are a lot of people in this thread who became legal experts by passing the Reddit bar exam, or something of equally imaginary significance.

Trump is gunna die of a heart attack the day before he gets convicted and no one is gunna know how to feel about it.
42If he dies of a heart attack the day before he's convicted it would be due to the stress caused by his own terrible actions and would sum up his life perfectly because somehow he still avoids the full repercussions
23i think i know how i feel about trumps death.

They've been saying shit since he got elected. Like honestly, shit or get off the pot.
26Well, you can't arrest a sitting president, and Senate was majority Republican and they tow the party line so yeah most Democrats could do was impeach and let the Republicans bail him out
But now he's not president, and has to face the courts as a citizen. The investigators aren't going to rush a case like this, but you also can't risk it going over to the election before getting a conviction. Honestly the timing on all this seems pretty on point
24Criminal investigations take time under the best of circumstances. These are not the best of circumstances.
17It's not the investigators who are creating the hype, it's the media. And the media does it because the think it sells. 'Effin BBC had live coverage of this dude arriving to his last court hearing, including his plane landing, wtf?! Who watches this shit in a country which has nothing to do with that idiot?

real life isn't Suits where charges are brought and a week later you are in a court.
also Suits had less fascism than thebUS has currently
6Murder investigations can take years to get the person responsible on for trial even when in hindsight the evidence makes it seem obvious who did it.
This isn't a murder obviously but it is multiple messy messy cases with lots of moving delicate parts that as people who have never done a criminal investigation can't even imagine. I wouldn't want to rush into a case and end up bungling it because I didn't take my time.

It will soon get to the point to where he'll spend life in prison, if it isn't already at that point.
25As time goes on, the likelihood of that increases.
12Y, bc hes old. Like all politicians. Get a grandchild already and kindly fuck off out of politics.

I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.
21Look, this isn't half-life 3 we're talking about here. It's going to happen, just keep your pants on.
11he' planning to prove his innocence, which means he'll get his followers to cause chaos.
11It's August 14, 2023. He's getting indicted. Interlinked.
10Do you dream of one day conviction? Interlinked.
Within cells interlinked?
Why don't you say that three times: Within cells interlinked.

-3It's Dr. Manhattan from The Watchmen I believe. I could be wrong though since it's been decades since I last read it.
2it’s been decades since I last read it. Yep, that´s why I -after looking at it for a second- took it for another untypical superhero comic, that I also read decades ago and that looks a little similar :)
1You are correct.

This is nothing... imagine that to this day we have people who believe the Russia-gate nonsense, despite the FBI having poured 25 million USD into it and found nothing, and people in CNN admitting it was a hoax. But mission accomplished... people are duped.
I'm not American, but this whole "indictment" nonsense is just attempts to cheat in 2024 to prevent Trump from rallying. They're terrified! They know if Trump wins he'll empty the swamp and remove 90% of the bureaucrats. He swore he'll do it.
And people still doubt this is a civil war... and dumber people to this day think this is done in good faith. The stupidity of humans never stops to impress me. Go ahead, Americans, start killing each other already... maybe then you'll learn how to respect each other's boundaries, like Trump never locked Hillary up because he knows what message it sends.
-25This isn't even good bait.
