No Stupid Questions

Laws don't apply to the ultra rich in the US.

He's been called "Teflon Don" for decades.

I can't understand how so many people still fall for his bullshit.

We knew he was a lying sack of shit back in the '80s before he got that stupid TV show.

Man literally is a suspected child rapist, yet the supposed anti-groomers would personally offer him their infant children to rape before they ever even dreamed of applying any standards to him.

It's the logical conclusion of their association based morality. Don could actually murder someone on 5th avenue and the right would never give an inch on it because he's their bastard and they'll take their bastards over an outsider's angels every day of the week.

They don't believe it's evil for satanists to run a soup kitchen because they suspect an ulterior motive, they believe it's evil because the satanists are evil so everything they do is evil because nothing an evil person does is ever a good thing. Same time, one of their own could be caught hacking school children to death with a machete and they'll go to the extent of bashing their head into a wall until they forget their own now murdered children because he's one of their own and "we don't need outsiders to tell us how to handle our issues."

Years ago I watched a documentary about Trump's shenanigans in Atlantic City. Basically, he stiffs the contractors who build his casino. They sue, and so he hires some big shot lawyers to defend him. They get him off for the most part, but then he then turns around and stiffs the law firm itself! Like what even?!?

And most of the US media is owned by billionaires who prefer Trump to win. Even CNN is now publishing hard fact checking of Harris while the calls to violence against the Haitian community in Springfield should be front and center.. the language Trump is using is literally the same as what Hitler did pre WW2..

Not quite tho. He has lost in court several times. Paid for it. Forced to be there when the judge ordered it. And we shall see what happens in a few months.

But anyway, it's no secret that the ultra rich don't need to obey the law. That's old news, sad to say.

because there are other, hostile countries running complex, expensive, multi-pronged operations to keep him and his America-dividing rhetoric flowing:

The oligarchy will never charge their own. All the talk of indictments, charges, law suits, etc are political theater.

The media wants a fight because fights get ratings and $. It’s in their interest to make both candidates look equally good/bad. This makes them allergic to charges of bias which helps the shittier candidates.

No he’s made of shit. Shit does stick to him, it just doesn’t matter.

Pure, unbridled, narcissistic confidence, mostly.

Because he's rich and powerful and laws are just threats made by the ruling class, which he's a part of. The law is primarily a tool of class warfare and as such is only enforced consistently and in full force against the working class. Very occasionally, one rich person pisses off enough other rich people to be subject to it, but you have to be extremely bad at the game for that to happen. The more rich people are subjected to the law, the easier it is to be subjected to the law yourself if you're rich, so generally you're better off looking the other way while they do illegal shit so that you can get away with your own illegal shit. Plus they have the resources to fight you, so it means picking a costly battle.

That's why they call him "Teflon Don", yeah.

he also did not pay workers, grabbed womens privates, withheld federal funds from ukraine to blackmail its president to write up a media hit job on the son of his likely upcoming opponent for re-election (which his party later used federal funds to investigate which is supposed to be about foriegn influence or such but turned into a gun charge and tax evasion [ironic given how much trump is very private about his taxes]). killed an iranian general with a missile out of the blue. I mean there is so much its hard for regular folks to even keep track.

You know old Teflon is toxic... sounds about right.

Gotti was also Teflon, till he wasn't.

The sad reality is, enough Americans are happy for him to do all of these things with impunity.

What is the point of locking someone up if half the country wants them to be president?

I thought the US was banning PFAs.

The crowd that murdoch and limbaugh handed the orange parasite on a platter, does not care about pesky and boring little things like facts and figures. It is an irrational mob fed with bacteria-infested red meat for two decades. They can only be reached via the basest of impulses, ripe pickings only for the most ignorant and/or shameless of conmen. It doesn't help society that the right-wing toxic propaganda machine operates at full blast 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
