Once chucklefuck is gone (rest in piss), the chickens will come home to roost. All you dickless wonders will be indicted. Be ready to fined as high as it will fucking go or face jail tome-- hopefully both.
Fuck the lot of you selfish ghouls for ruining our country.
The whole "futures market" thing is just legalised market manipulation and gambling on a global scale
I have half an idea here, but let's say we eventually figure out President Joffrey is part of this. They'll try some bullshit argument about "he gets away with it because he's president" and fight about it in court. Fine. Loophole, courts will sort it out.
What I'm interested in: Couldn't the US government still seize the illicit money and force him to prove he earned it legally. They do that shit to other criminals in America. Why not use that legal concept on Mr Trump's crime family?
Use Trump's money as leverage to get him to squeal on everyone else for criminal charges they all can eat.
And may every ~~day~~ trade be another wonderful secret.
Lol.
Such a weak nation.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think Americans would get walked all over like this.
Right now I'm not seeing any other future for us than permanent subjugation.
It's almost like we enjoy the punishment.
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
Do workers still think we shouldn't take the wealth of our rulers by force?
My elderly father thinks "workers don't know how to run businesses", which is funny to me considering how many bone-headed decisions I've seen management make. Plus pointlessly cruel ones, alongside selfish and short-sighted ones.
Looking at the broad majority Yes.
The stock market is such a goddamn pyramid scheme. The only reason it hasn't full on collapsed is because the people running the scam get bailed by US tax payers every time it breaks. Nevermind that they tricked us into tying our retirements into the continuous survival of this casino in a trench coat.
In any other country on earth, Trump would have been dragged into the street a lynched by now.
I think the best American's can hope for is that his own security detail order 66's him.
Eh, up here in Canada we’re not too far behind. Still better, but the bar is super low and we’re kinda cowards when it comes to standing up for ourselves. Hopefully the most recent utter failure of strategic voting helps, but who knows.
I honestly never thought Americans were this weak.
We're being abused and asking our abuser for more. It's pathetic.
You act like fascists don't exist outside USA
Do you mean 86?
Referencing the clones in Star Wars when order 66 is activated and they kill the Jedi.
Exactly. A hidden command gets sent out by the Secret service and suddenly the security details of Vance, Trump, Kegsbreath, Bondi, etc... all do what needs to be done.
Only in the movies.
For sure. I'm well aware that real life doesn't work that way. Because real life kinda sucks right now.
Happy little accidents ...
Yes, we fucking know.
Most corrupt administration ever

Yup. Pandora's Box is open now. Going forward every conservative grifter is going to acknowledge what Trump got away with and attempt to get away with as much and more. Why wouldn't they? They'll want their turn at the grift so they can create their own dynasty using America's wealth.
We're cooked. Our system is weak.
Dems are going to do the same thing. Again, why wouldn't they? Trump just lowered the bar for all future administrations. He showcased the failures of our checks and balances and proved that you can do whatever the fuck you want, laws and judges be damned, and no one will do a fucking thing about it.
It can be fixed... not gonna be easy
And it's not even fucking close. The gall of it.
The most blatantly corrupt. They literally do not care if their corruption is on full display to the world.
I think they actually revel in it. Like, "look what we can get away with and you're not going to do shit about it"
They seem like exactly the kind of evil that has to push the bounds of human depravity just to prove to themselves how privileged and powerful they truly are.
Like with those Epstein files we aren't talking about as much since we're waiting to see if this is WW3 -- you have a variety of powerful people who are probably not pedophiles in the mental illness sense, but they fuck teenagers because it's a combination of forbidden fruit and domination/control and half a dozen other things that stimulate their dark triad brains.
