But if we hold ONE rich white man accountable for his crimes, what’s next? Holding SOME rich white men accountable for their crimes? Holding ALL rich white men accountable for their crimes? It’s a slippery slope.
@OhNoSheTwitnt Should be a giant, very slippery slope. Like a mountain of ski slopes!
@OhNoSheTwitnt threaten me with a good time why dontcha.

@OhNoSheTwitnt I don't think you understand, the rule of law was created by and for rich white men so to actually charge a rich white man is fundamentally at odds with the reason for the law's existence and therefore I don't know, cats and dogs living together, something something
@OhNoSheTwitnt snow white ski slope...the off trail stuff of avalanches...
@OhNoSheTwitnt gotta convict first. Jury selection will be impossible.
@Aethelstan @OhNoSheTwitnt That is what I was thinking how in the world are they gonna get a Jury to convict him

@Aethelstan
Juror 1: He’s the devil
Juror 2: He’s the second coming
Juror 3: He came on me earlier in the bathroom
Juror 4: Seconded

Sorry

@Aethelstan @OhNoSheTwitnt hard, but not impossible. Even though I loathe the dude, I’d still try and be impartial if I were chosen. I’ve been on jury before and my personal opinions didn’t factor in my decision, just the evidence. Unfortunately I don’t live in NY as this would be fun to be a juror for.
@OhNoSheTwitnt But Donald Trump is where he is today indicted because of nobody’s actions but his own that he refused to be held accountable for and I am a woman who did vote for him the first time and didn’t do it the second time and I even changed my party affiliation to independent because I want to know part of the situation the way it was
@PugsLove a bunch of people enabled him. He’s responsible for his actions but let’s bring down his enablers too.
@OhNoSheTwitnt I want to see ALL rich people answer for their sins. Most didn't get rich by being nice.
@britishtechguru @OhNoSheTwitnt Chelsea got five years for one single page, so I’m willing to allow for the same punishment for everyone involved with the marolago document thefts. 5 years per page.
@OhNoSheTwitnt Rich People have to follow the law. Two tiered Justice system is backwards.
@Lightsong1989 that’s the point, money has created a two tier system. His own lawyer is already out of “prison” for campaign finance violations and tax evasion. He spent much of his prison term in his own home, like many of us during COVID lockdowns. Trump, even convicted, won’t spend much if any time in prison.
@OhNoSheTwitnt After seeing Lindsay Graham look like he was about to cry after hearing of pending indictment, he must believe he's next🤣👍
@OhNoSheTwitnt exact same argument, word for word, that I got after showing up with evidence of deeply unethical behavior from #hamradio "leaders".
@OhNoSheTwitnt but it SeTs A pReCeDeNt! Oh noes!

@OhNoSheTwitnt Hold on, hold on, hold on.

If we hold even ONE rich white man accountable for his crimes, (*sings*) none of them are freeeee, none of them are freeeeee.

@OhNoSheTwitnt I **love** the "If ThEy Go FoR TrUmp, ThEy CaN gO fOr YoU!!!!" Crowd...🤦‍♂️

Yeah, if we break laws, we can be expected to be held accountable too.

@RayGlass There's the rub... I say all men and women that knowingly break the law should be accountable - nothing to do with colour, religion or gender, wealth or social status... The law is the line you do not cross without consequences. Fear of the law is nine tenths of the law and if there is no fear you will have anarchy... That is where it is going sadly...
@OhNoSheTwitnt rich white men are REALLY not going to like this.
@OhNoSheTwitnt Well I’m here for it. Bring it on. All of it.
@OhNoSheTwitnt this is why I follow you, insight!!
@OhNoSheTwitnt 'Eat the Rich, Feed the Poor'
@OhNoSheTwitnt in which the slippery slope fallacy is used to argue against use of the slippery slope fallacy. well played 😂
@OhNoSheTwitnt let's hope it's very slippery
@OhNoSheTwitnt
One might be able to throw the wrench in the process and then we can get a jump on it
@OhNoSheTwitnt @AnneLandgraf my hope would be that said rich white men might realize the horror that is the police state we live in and work to fix it… but alas it’s just a dream
@OhNoSheTwitnt Oh no! What a nightmare... 🙃 😆
@OhNoSheTwitnt absolutely All rich men should be accountable when they get caught with a crime along with their criminal lawyers.
@OhNoSheTwitnt Well, I'm trying to get Mastodon to help me run a software I just purchased for $80, and I'm not rich. Maybe they can have a proper customer service?
@OhNoSheTwitnt Next they'll want Truth and Justice for All citizens. Next thing you know, they'll start expecting equality in voting and access to healthcare and education.😱 
@OhNoSheTwitnt I’ll grease the slope up some more and we can take turns booting them down
@OhNoSheTwitnt @billyjoebowers this is absolutely the subtext of all crimes committed by the rich or powerful
@OhNoSheTwitnt Without the perks, of not being held accountable for the abuse inflicted on others, there will almost be no reason to aspire to being born a rich white male.
