Because he is definitely getting preferential treatment. Lowering his appeal bond in his NY civil fraud case, and giving him 10 more days to pay, is proof positive.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ny-appeals-court-reduces-trumps-bond-civil-fraud-case-175-million-vict-rcna144659

Short version:
A state appeals court ruled that Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the New York civil fraud case have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, down from the $464 million judgment due Monday.
The 11th-hour ruling from a panel of state Appellate Division judges is a major victory and relief for the former president, whose attorneys had said coming up with such a bond was a practical impossibility. The ruling means state Attorney General Letitia James office cannot yet begin collecting on the judgment.

Every working class American in the country should be PISSED at this.

Instead, the alt-right has somehow deluded themselves into thinking he's still being treated unfairly.

It seems like all of his legal troubles are just going to conveniently last until the election, when Trump may suddenly become immune to all of these incriminations so they'll just have to throw up their arms in defeat and do nothing.

It looks like we'll see a ruling in the hush money case before November, so there's that anyway.

It is a growing sentiment though in many places. More and more people online seem to be making vague hints as close as they can without breaking website TOSs, talking about "eating the rich" and other such terms, wondering why people haven't gotten angry enough to do something about people like, say, Koch and whoever is in charge of Nestle, etc.

I don't know how far things are away from such events, but even with the media and corporations' general attempts to control the population, we seem to be at least closer than we were 2 or 3 years ago.

He wouldn't be immune to this. It's a state issue, not a federal one.

I mean, yeah?

It didn't take a ruling today for that to be fucking obvious.

Moreover, the other shoe has supposedly been gonna drop on Trump for nearly a decade now. At this point you should believe he is facing consequences only after they have been actually dealt.

Heineken14 posted... It's less of a 2 tiered justice system and more of a 3 tiered one, because republicans seem to get their own tier above even just standard rich people tier.

Not a chance, because its always been rigged from the start. People like Trump are just no longer bothering to keep the curtain up because they no longer have to. All of his trials, each and every one of them, are seeming more and more like theyre intended to tell the public The system is, has been, and always will be rigged against you no matter what. Theyre basically taking the naive notion that all people are equal under the law and bitch slapping us across the face with it to put us in our place.

I mean, look at how brazen CEOs, investors, etc. have been about publicly venting how frustrated they are with calls for living wages and work-life balance. Theyre outright admitting they dont give two shits about anyone and would gladly throw us all under the bus, and half our population is actively cheering them on to do so. They can do this because they know there wont be any repurcussions; they have all the power, theyve bought and paid for our legislative, executive, and judicial systems to their advantage and know we cant fight back.

Hell, I may get modded for my call to lop their heads off in a remake of the French Revolution, but do you see me actually pulling out the blade sharpener? No you dont, and no one else is either. Well grumble our discontent about how our lives are being made worse, lose some karma if we get too aggressive, and then just go back to our daily lives. None of us, whether here or anywhere in the country, actually have the guts to fight back in a way that would actually be effective.

The problem is because everyone is waiting on someone else to get it started, but everyone is also still comfortable enough to not be that one. Especially when there's a >99% chance there will be nobody following up. Individual acts won't do much. We're just gonna backslide into worse and worse lives while the rich and powerful become moreso.

Also, there's extreme resistance towards those who want to change it democratically.

Not sure if thisll work here, but my dear old dad told me that whenever saying something that might rub somebody with a level of authority the wrong way, to either preface it or follow it up with stating that it was my personal opinion and not a factual statement since theyre less likely to get you for merely stating what you personally believe as opposed to you simply stating it as-is.

So the appeals court is basically saying if you crime hard enough, you can get a break, because the monetary amount of the crimes you need to pay on is so high.

Shit like this is the exact reason why I don't feel anything from news of "this time he's fucked!", because it just happens so many times and nothing is worth celebrating until something ACTUALLY happens. It's been 4 years. Or 6. Or 10, depending on your perception of Trump-based events. Less than 8 months until Election Day and every tiny victory we have over him just immediately gets turned around and amplified in his favor.

Anyone in modern times still supporting the republican party is a disgusting, irrehensible sack of fucking garbage. There is zero excuse at this point unless you flat out own that you are filth and accept it.

And Trump believes it should be even more blatantly two tiered, in his favor, so he can be immune to any prosecution.

And pardon all the people that pay him bribes.
