New video shows Trump may have violated federal law at crypto event: attorney
And no one is going to do a damn thing about this because the US is not a nation of laws anymore.
Whoa, trump violated a law??? We've got him now!
I’m over these headlines. The Supreme Court said he has presidential immunity. The law doesn’t apply.
They said he has immunity for official duties. This article is about him using the presidential seal for non-official duties. I don't think anything is going to happen still, but even the insane SC ruling doesn't give him immunity for this.
At this point it's basically just propaganda to give the illusion that something is being done.
And you're just going to comply with that?
I for one would still want to call out whats being done, to make a record for future generations if nothing else.
Are you really such a good little soldier that the supreme court makes a bad decision and you immediately reorient your entire moral framework to match?
He has immunity for "Official" presidential acts. Establishing/ promoting a private business concern is NOT an official presidential act.
Mother fucker is breaking every law he can. Who will stop him?
nobody dies with dignity. golden toilet child's days are numbered, and even he can't stop it. it's creeping, and it'll hit him in about 20 years if the world stays as fair as it's been. buckle up.
and most of 'em don't have a fucking thing to do with 'official' duties
Mario's brother?

Just so you don't have to read through the article to find out which law he broke this time: he used the presidential seal while he spoke at a private, for-profit event.
Yah that's the one that will do him in and crumble his empire. Surely.
Yeah. He breaks laws multiple times a day.
We live in an authoritarian fascist state now.
NOT hyperbole.
Now, watch as literally nothing at all is done about it, just like his last blatant and obvious felony and just like his next one.
We suck.
Excuse me, are you a man in a shark suit?
I don’t see how that’s relevant, and if anything that is a very rude question of you to ask. I’d suggest you gather your couth and think before asking such inane and, frankly, very stupid and insulting questions, which my username has already answered had you bothered to read it, in the future.
Good day.
Edit: I apologize, I read that backwards. No, of course not, I’m just a regular human in my normal human skin keeping my sweet tasty meats contained inside my body, and I have regular non-serrated teeth that don’t grow back when I lose them attacking seals and such, just like the rest of you. Nothing to see here.
No thanks on the nationalist "we". Cultspeak.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_religion
Frank first uses a singular personal pronoun (“I”), but then quickly corrects to the plural personal pronoun “we.” Why? Because when you're leading a cult, you need to imply family, collectiveness, exclusivity at each moment. Frank's consistently creates an "us versus them" scenario. Although it's unclear who "they" are, that hardly matters to his followers. They are much too busy "looking harder" (at what?) "digging deeper" (to where?) and "mining that pure, unbridled potential (of what?)" - https://www.whatmakesgreatwriting.com/p/dont-worry-darling
We are a collective society, that’s an objective fact, dipshit, you don’t have the option to not be a part of a demographic, learn what context is and how to apply it.
Is he ever not violating federal law?
Once he forgot to take his phone to the toilet
lol. Only when he’s making the unintentional ‘mistakes’
He takes his phone to the shit hole every time he lifts it to his face.
SPOILER ALERT!
Nothing will happen.
He's not in prison for treason and espionage - it's doubtful he's going anywhere no matter how heinous a crime he commits.
He's..a..fucking..criminal. A criminal is in charge of the law. AND the national piggy bank, but that for another time.
How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they'll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that's why. And that's trumpski - a lying criminal con man. AND a traitor to the country that gave him everything he's got.

I know you're making a political point, but tbh, I thought Lemmy would have a better take on criminal justice
Well Al Capone was brought down by the IRS, maybe this fucker will be put behind bars by the post office or something... Or maybe nothing will happen
Gov was after Capone though. Trump is the gov. And even though technically this isn't true everyone either doesn't care or isn't brave enough to try to do anything
Well it depends on the definition of criminal. Most people have committed something that could be considered a crime. The most common crimes are probably speeding and underage drinking
I wish I could upvote this twice

Grow up. Most "crimes" are bullshit and most "criminals" are fine people.
Nobody wants to be friends with Trump because he's a fascist who attacks people both legally and illegally, although there's no conviction/punishment when the rich/privileged commit "crimes".
So sick of “may have” headline.
Trump loves to sue. May as well make it harder for him.
As long as the Department of Justice continues to work exclusively at the behest of Trump, you should expect no actual justice. 86 Pam Bondi, 86 Trump. 86 the Republican party for abdicating their oaths.
What are you going to do, arrest me?
:(
Lol they gonna put him in prison?
We all know what makes this stop.
Somebody has to do it eventually.
The president has immunity while being in office, was the supreme court ruling right?
And if this doesn't count under the immunity, he just replaces judges and claims he lost faith in the justice system and abolishes and restructures it, just as Hitler did. He already ignored several other judge rulings.
Start attacking his supporters instead. Bring them up on charges for being complicit in his crimes. He may have immunity, but his enablers don't. Make everyone scared to keep supporting him until their only choice is to vote in favor of ousting him.
Next Democrat president better go full dictator or they’re stupid
Last Democrat president did nothing to protect you from future abuses of presidential power.
You think there will be one? Seeing how things are going now, there's barely a democracy left. I'm expecting elections like Russia had, at best. Trump is following the footsteps of Hitler. Literally. Tariffs, attacking journalists and judges, spreading hate towards minorities, using fake news as a weapon, replacing key positions with yes-men, deporting people to concentration camps, etc. You might hope for a Democrat as president, but I think that ship has sailed man.
Lmao… let’s start counting the laws he hasn’t broken. I’m so done with trying to care about each instance of him breaking the law. He’s unfit for office, has been impeached twice, and he deserves only jail for as long as his miserable heart will last.
And deserves to die broke.
Who cares??? Honestly im sick of hearing it. He’s clearly above the law.
I honestly thought a lawless society would be more like mad max. Not his BS!!!
Give it time.
Oh, no shit?
So can we expect more finger wagging, indignant tweets and furrowed brows? Maybe a SLAM or two? No? Then suck it up, america!
Laws are for POOR People!
Well, he has immunity
Dude violates federal law every day
Ohhh no! What the USA justice will do about this? Nothing.
\
Again, ping me if something happens.
Wake me up when something happens as a result of this.
Let me know when he follows the law.
May have
And nothing will happen. All consequences from here on out are just for you and me.
So he broke a law. And what’s anyone in the US going to do about it??
Crickets.
may have
It was pretty fucking blatant, actually.
Who gives a fuck? There are no consequences so he may as well be a dictator
Inappropriate use of the presidential seal? Oh, he's not walking away from this one!
In other news, attorney wastes time watching and commenting on video of crypto event.
I once heard a radio program that changed the way I think about fire and government control. The program emphasized how central fire has been to human survival and how, over time, society has regulated it to the point of alienation. The program explored how we offload very basic functions to authority in exchange for other benefits. In turn the authority is interested in control of these basic functions. For example, historically, entire cities were built from wood, leading to devastating fires. In response, governments began instilling fear around fire to promote caution: we created cartoon bears warning children not to play with matches and imposed strict fire regulations.
As a result, people became increasingly disconnected from fire. Kids raised on fire-safety propaganda grew up being told they couldn’t burn things on their own property or light a fire without permission, especially in cities. Eventually, the knowledge and instinct to responsibly manage fire faded. Fire became something only officials could control. Today, people panic at the mere smell of smoke, not because of immediate danger, but because we've been conditioned to view any fire as a threat.
The deeper point the program made was about dependence on authority. When we outsource essential survival skills, like fire management or justice to the government, we assume it will handle those responsibilities competently. But what happens when it doesn't? For example, Native cultures used controlled burns to prevent wildfires by clearing dry brush. When governments prohibit such practices and also fail to manage the land properly, fuel builds up and massive fires become inevitable.
This raises a fundamental ethical question: If the government refuses to fulfill its basic responsibilities, do citizens have the right, or even the duty, to reclaim control over essential survival functions?
Consequences?
Official act or something.
This is just how our country is now.
May have? LOL!
The law doesnt matter anymore, the Mafia has control of the military and the armed branches of the federal government, and has more or less told everyone "the fuck are you gonna do about it?"
May have???...I bet he definitely violated many
Trump's krypto nite?
5.56 or 7.62 probably.
Trump: seen
I fear it means nothing
yeeh, my first though was "ooh, that's gonna command a few marches.." fuck
edit - i should be productive and not just cynical. who's arranging the president's birthday concert? do we have springstein? vedder? come on y'all
It’s a perfect time for Rage to do a pop up concert in DC.
Well there will be court cases that will drag on for months which he will whine persistently. So not exactly nothing, just more whining.
