Nobody is above the law. Trump has been fucking around for too long and needs to find out his actions have consequences.

This geriatric fuck hasn’t seen a single consequence in his whole life, would be nice to see literally anything be done

Nobody is above the law? That remains to be seen

Idk why you got that single down vote. If no one has been paying attention, then I'll just mention it here. The law (usually) only applies when you're poor.

I've actually been curious about this, I'm not seeing any down votes on the comment you're talking about. Is it instant specific?

Some instances don't count downvotes, and sometimes up/downs take a while to federate.

Poor, or done something to someone richer than you.

You got a downvote from me for whining about downvotes.

Just thought you'd like to know so you don't have to post a followup whining about why you were downvoted.

Remember in 2011, when Dominique Strauss-Kahn (powerful French politician and head of the IMF) was arrested , for raping a maid at the hotel he'd been staying at? And the reaction from France was all Why would you do such a thing?!, and the American reaction to France was Why wouldn't we - no one is above the law!

I really miss those days.

Nobody is above the law.

Patently false. Anyone else behaving as Trump has and indicted on the array of charges he is would be waiting for trial from a jail cell.

Whatever happens to him now, it will be far less than would have happened to you or I had we committed the same crimes.

Nobody is above the law.

It should be true. I want to make it true. But it sure doesn't seem to be true at present.
