YoBuckStopsHereTrump says he's been advised he's target of US investigation into efforts to overturn 2020 election
ChainweaselI’ll believe it when the DOJ says it. Trump could tell me the sky is blue and I’d still go check to make sure.
That’s a good rule to live by but I think we can take this one at face value. He’s definitely going to get indicted again.
snooggumsAnd based on his history of never being punished for anything ever, nothing is likely to come of it.
But at least it sets a precedent that being president doesn't make someone 100% immune.
Trump has been punished thousands of times by the legal system. He’s been sued way more than other rich people because he commits small crimes as part of his business. Stop saying he’s never been punished.

What you mean is, he hasn’t been punished enough. This year is the first time he’s been criminally indicted. If it follows his history, he’s going to plead guilty and try to negotiate probation.
He never fights unless the opponent is small. The State of New York has won against him many times. He actually rolls over very easily compared to actual mob bosses.
Being sued and losing money in court cases that has no negative impact on lifestyle is just the cost of business, not punishment.
Like getting caught stealing a pack of gum, and as a punishment you have to give back half the pack.
In his case more like stealing all the candy and making him giving back a half a pack of gum.
More like the punishment is having to give back the one stick you’ve already chewed.
He never fights unless the opponent is small. The State of New York has won against him many times. He actually rolls over very easily compared to actual mob bosses.
This is because the only “punishment” he has ever received has either been a slap on the wrist and forced to pinky swear to not do it again this week, or a “fine” that amounts to a small percentage of the profit he made committing the crimes and would barely qualify as a rounding error on his tax returns.
If the punishment handed down is not an effective deterrent, it’s not a punishment. It’s just a tax.
