I truly wonder..

will #Trump and his goons ever gonna be held accountable for all the corruption happening right now?

Billions of crypto investments, sneaky private deals, personal enrichment, etc etc

And when asked about it they simply say: "I don't know" and everyone just moves on

What is the point of a president if there is no check on it? Or at least actively enforced instead of bought over

I am so very against every form of president, king or whatever "alone ruler", when will we learn

AndyGER :verified_coffee:

@stux He might move to Russia with his family one day …

Lee from Colorado

@stux apparently not yet is when we'll learn...

@stux we currently have in France the prime minister lying under oath and everyone have proof that they lie and I don't even fear for their reputation nor their wellbeing. Like I'm pretty sure nothing will happen.

So that's my guess about Trump&co

@stux

No. He won't. He will never see a single repercussion. His goons might, someday, eventually.

There isn't a point.

They "rule" because we have agreed to let them rule. We agreed to let them rule as long as they are honoring the Bill of Rights.

They are not doing that. They have violated the contract that gives them permission to rule.

Of course, that doesn't mean a goddamned thing because they have all of the power and we have most of the stupid, but thems the facts.

@tournesol And for such folks we perhaps need to hold them even more accountable

If people want to rule, thats fine but that comes with more accountability and not less as we currently do

And screw their reasons for why they should not be held accountable

Attila Kinali

@stux Given that wasn't held accountable for an insurrection, or the two times he was impeached... I very much doubt it. The US, in my opinion, has become a failed state with iPhones and nukes. Until they have a half-decent democracy again, will take decades. And unless they actually take a step back and look at what they are doing, they might never ever get to a decent level democracy.

@roknrol We shot ourselfs in the foot by letting him shooting himself in the foot i guess?

stux⚡

@attilakinali I am afraid so indeed..

Roknrol

@stux I take umbrage at your use of the term "we". But that's being pedantic.

I'm not sure how he has shot himself in the foot. He's winning. Seems like things are working out just fine for him.

stux⚡

@roknrol Yup, that's how i meant it the people, not us

hm.. guess you're right.. personally he's winning but in terms of precidency? Feels like it's going downhill fast in pop

Roknrol

@stux Well yeah, he wants a dictatorship. The question is whether "we" are going to let him have it.

I've said this before, but you can tell how much faith I have in Americans by the fact that I'm trying desperately to move to France.

stux⚡

@roknrol Yeah i totally understand..

it has come so much further then i thought and i suspected a lot already

it's so very frustrating and sad from this side of the pond, i cant imagine being in it

Daarin

@stux I just saw a video by an US american lawyer that I could summarize to: NO!

stux⚡

@daarin I follow LegalEagle indeed good channel

Ttown🌐✌

@stux
For a 'very stable genius' he sure says 'I don't know' a lot.

@stux

Will Trump's goons every be held accountable for being his goons? Depends on how scrupulously he manages his pardons.

Botolo

@stux They will never be held accountable because the other side plays by the rules and moves too slowly.
