It won't get seized and trump will never pay for what he's done. That's the world we live in, and it's no use pretending anything like justice exists here.

Yeah, after yesterday I have just lost all hope. Nothing will ever happen to that horrible human being.
Sad and perverse, but true. If it was you or I facing such charges, we'd already have been screwed, boo'ed, tattooed, and tossed into jail years ago without hesitation. But this is trump, and he is truly wonderful and magical.
Nothing the government will do at the very least. When it comes to fascism and fascists, if it wasn't for mob justice, we wouldn't have any justice at all.
I was somehow still optimistic until yesterday as well.
Sure something will happen... one way or another he'll end up president again...
He did have to post that $100 million bond for the woman he raped - we'll see the follow through, but that's the most recent escalation in tangible consequences that he's seen. That was real and it happened. He couldn't completely worm out of it, it's a first crack that hopefully leads to a sinkhole
Well that's one good thing anyway, at least he did have to pay for that little indiscretion. But he still denies it ever happened.
I think he's a walking sinkhole, so - let's hope he just keeps going down more and more into his own insanity.
Prisons are full of people denying their crimes. It's kind of a trend amongst the guilty.
I've never known a guilty person who claimed to be guilty of what they've done. With trump, I truly believe he doesn't even have the education to see why he is guilty or SHOULD feel bad about what he's done. But he'll never go to prison, more's the pity - all we can hope is has a massive heart attack and soon.
I think everyone is just hoping he has a heart attack and drops dead before anyone needs to take action one way or the other.
I keep hoping for that also. I mean how many Big Macs does it take to get that to happen already??
It would only take a few election cycles before a new fascist becomes the favorite of the right. Trump dropping dead would absolutely not mean the end of fascism in this country. He is a symptom, not the cause.
It's not just Trump, though he is by far the most symptomatic of the problem. It's almost everyone with a modicum of power. They all (ab)use their positions to get as much as they can. Trump is just exceptionally good at this, on a high level. Seeing this day after day after day, in your own life... that kills all hope it will ever get better. The only people who thrive are the ones willing to walk over others' corpses to the very top.
This society rewards psychotic and megalomaniacal personalities and punishes helpful, sharing, caring people at EVERY turn.
How could this not turn out a disaster? We're literally forcing the evolution of evil to rule us in this system.
I think that's very true, we are forcing on ourselves the evolution toward evil as a prime characteristic for success. Especially in the political world, where nowadays candidates don't even try to hide the fact that they are white nationalists or bigots, knowing they can get into positions of power just by being such people.
In Utah our governor just declared that "Diversity and inclusion are the worst evils mankind has ever known." If that isn't a symptom of a sick culture hell bent on driving itself toward extinction, I don't know what is.
American justice, and who gets a safety net, is a horrible joke. Yesterday was an example of two-tiered justice - if you failed to pay 4,500 dollars debt gained "honestly" they'd seize your stuff and you might even go to prison. Make it literally 10,000 times worse (4.5k to 450 million) and fraud though and apparently you don't have to worry about enforcement. There's also no way you would get away with acting like Trump did in and out of court.
Once you're rich for a while, the USA becomes a socialist paradise in which the nation will bend over backwards to make sure you don't fail or suffer real consequences. It happened with the bank bailout in 2008, and now it's happening again for Trump. The losses (i.e. bad business and evaded taxes) are public, the profits are private.
Gary Bowser wrote a blog about modding electronic devices, many of them Nintendo consoles. He made around $1,000 a month. He was put in prison and ordered to pay $14.5 million for violating Nintendo's copyright. He worked a prison job and the money he earned went to his multi-million dollar debt. So far that is $175. I wonder why Gary couldn't just say "oops can't afford that! Maybe reduce it to $100,000? Thanks!"
At this point, just pray they wont change it any further....
new york has no fucking teeth unless it's fucking over everyday people
Finally, this is the end of Trump!
This meme is relevant any time anything happens in politics
Nah, we were waiting until yesterday to see it get seized. And then they let us know that waiting wont do anything.
