We're 2.5 years into this gold rush, and I still haven't seen any gold. I've seen people selling picks & shovels. I've seen "gold experts" selling maps to the gold. I've seen CEOs announce they're going "gold-first". I've seen people selling land where they claim there's gold. But no actual gold.

@GottaLaff

Yeah, the point is not that he can't legally do something. He's doing it anyway! He doesn't care about the law, he doesn't care about the Constitution. He fell asleep in front of Merchan, he racked up so many contempt charges, and just... ignored them.

The question is always 'what can be done to stop him?' Because that's the question he's asking: "Whaddya gonna do about it?"

@GottaLaff

Sorry, you're having to say this so much but thanks for saying it.

Calling Trump stupid makes us all feel smart and superior but the man has a clear understanding of power. He knows rules don't matter only power over other people matters. He's _good_ at exercising that power.

For the thousandth time... He's not a businessman, he's not a politician, he's a mafia capo.

The law doesn't matter if you can avoid the consequences indefinitely.

Yay! #australia also rejected #fascism right along with #Canada and #France!

We can do this people!!👍

Happy May the 4th to all the radical lunatics that believe in extremist ideas like empathy, equality, free trade, and due process.

Thanks to who all who responded and commented!

I am yes, but. Yes, but the penalty should be small. The infrastructure should make it easy to vote, with features like a statutory holiday for election day, mail-in voting, and electronic voting.
