I don't think we can, honestly.
Like I want Trump locked up, along with any politician who claimed the election was stolen.
But the fact is, the orange shit won 2024 and in 9 days (uuuugh) will ~~fully pardon himself making any punishment nullified~~ be the president again (thanks for the correction, he can't pardon himself from state charges.
If the various governments actually wanted to punish Trump (they don't, unfortunately) they would have actually done something and took advantage of the FOUR FUCKING YEARS that there was a possibility of their cases making any impact at all.
Our broken justice system is slower than our corrupt political cycle, which lets those in power do whatever they want.
He cannot pardon himself from state charges.
He can fire anyone who says he can't.
He can't fire NY State employees, or any state employees.
He can't also do felonies and run a coup and get away with it after being founs guilty.
That's different. This is a game of what he can physically do. If he told a NY State police officer they were fired it would have no effect. If he told an FBI agent they were fired they're going to go pack up their desk.
See the difference?
He cannot... His many things is this now that he just did anyways?
He has no legal power to pardon state crimes. He can say whatever he wants. But if NY had given him a prison sentence it wouldn't stop them from coming to get him.
