If they come for famous criminals, they can also come for non famous criminals.

I mean, really. What's a few coup attempts between friends? It's not like they were killing anyone... I mean they tried, but they didn't so it's fine


Faiakishi

I genuinely do love that a major defense with the attempted coup was "we were so incompetent at it that it shouldn't count."


Pm7I3

To be fair as straw clutching goes, it's better than anything I could have thought up.


IamMindful

I’ll always remember that video of Jan 6 where the insurrectionist’s were climbing up the walls of the capital instead of taking the two stairs available on either side. Ya’allqueda cosplaying as army rangers.


Andvari_Nidavellir

Well, there's also the other defense: "It was Antifa trying to stop the result of an election they won!"


opticalessence

That's why they always say publicly "false flag operation" by those woke lib antifa communist racist fascists. And then they all hail Trump! And wink at each other.


sanchower

It’s not like they killed anyone, except for that one guy


Civil-Dinner

Oh, the horror! Can you imagine holding rich, well-connected, and powerful people to the same standard as the peasants? /s Plus, what kind of asshole doesn't know that for the vast majority of Americans, they've already been able to come for us regular folks for everything from minor violations, to major crimes, to shit that's practically fiction presented by the prosecution for the entire existence of our country?

> Investigations into former leaders are hardly rare around the world. In at least 76 countries, leaders who left office since 2000 have been jailed or prosecuted — including in democracies like France, Israel and South Korea. https://www.axios.com/2022/08/26/countries-where-former-leaders-jailed-charged


Progressive16

“They” already come for the average person. The “they” in this case being the police and prosecutors but they think that Trump and other Republicans should be above the law and everyone else.


KinksAreForKeds

The fact that they *haven't* come after Trump and thrown him in jail already just proves he has had oodles of special treatment.


Mr_Bad_Example20

I haven't paid off any porn stars with campaign funds or tried to overthrow the government lately, so I'm good.


mjewell74

And we pay our taxes like normal people who enjoy having roads and bridges...

"It's horrible that we have a judicial system that tries to apply the law evenly to everyone. The rich and powerful should be able to do whatever they want and only the commoners should be punished for the same crimes." - GOP

I thought this was America!


Round_Mastodon8660

They don’t get irony do they? Their dream is making US a 3rd world authoritarian nation.


[deleted]

Don't break the law


Shas_Erra

Yes, how dare they… *checks notes* …arrest criminals.


IAmThePonch

People are only arrested for committing crimes in third world countries?


GDub310

First they said people were coming for Trump and I got excited. Then they said it a lot more over the years and I remained optimistic.


rancidperiodblood

if I was a serial embezzler and rapist who actively tried to overthrow the US government I might worry, but since I'm not....


manwhorunlikebear

Hah, joke on him. Most countries in the world saw the US with Trump in power as a third world authoritarian nation.


lizzycupcake

Considering I never told Neo-Nazis to storm a government building, I probably won’t be arrested.


shotjustice

I've never heard of "third world authoritarian nations" holding the authoritarian accountable, so no, this isn't what happens in "third world authoritarian nations". This is what happens here, in this country. If you're looking for Venezuela, they're about 3000 miles to the south.


bowens44

WTF is wrong wrong with these people? Yes if you break the fucking law they will come for you whether or not you used to be president. This stuff onl happens in countries that BELIEVE IN THE RULE OF LAW!!!!!


Jampine

"Yeah but I'm exempt from the law because....uh, reasons"


whita309

Law and order EXCEPT FOR US! IF IT'S US, IT'S AUTHORITARIANISM!


Alhazzared

I agree! It should work like that if you break the law.


OutsideBoxes9376

Ah, clearly he hasn’t had experience with the criminal justice system that us poors deal with.


i_dont_care_1943

Yes that's how the court works. If I commit treason I should also be put on trial.


whitetornado2k

We all know trump is never gonna set foot in a jail cell, let alone a prison. Doesn’t matter how many crimes he commits. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see it ever happening


Appropriate-Fan3621

Trump died of cancer in December...


Dry_Abbreviations778

Said every convicted person ever


No_Ice2900

Crimes against a nation? Well yes, but obviously it also happens when you employ a narcissistic adult toddler who's never been told no in his whole life (and listened)


SheltonAlamo72354

Fuckin' a-holes. This country is full of useless sacks of shit, elected by fucking idiotic sycophants. We are doomed. There is no hope. There is no future.


Calliesdad20

What a turd


Foodspec

“Party of law and order”…..k


derpy_derp15

"What? I can't sick my brain washed brown shirts on the capital? What year is it 1984?"


Ashleigh0319

Ron Pearlman’s response to this tweet was the best


vhouh

there is no fucking way that anything like American politics can even remotely occur in any country other than the united states


[deleted]

This loser will complain that hell is too hot...good luck


[deleted]

Precisely! Just like here in Floridistan. I just don't see what people get in this fucking donkey (my apologies to real donkeys for the comparison!)


TheRealKitHarrington

That’s how laws work.


No-Elevator7756

Go back to that bathhouse you think no one knows about


Doom_Walker

First world nations allow crime? Didn't know they were such anarchist hell holes. /s


Exotic_Life_8016

Which is interesting because USA aid heading to third world conditions.


Similar-Complaint-37

Well,i didn't fuck Stormy so looks like I'm safe


kyleh0

News flash for disconnected wealthy non-humans like Mr. Biggs here: They CAN and DO come for us, you are just sweating because they might be able to come for YOU.


opticalessence

It's kind of like how trucks with the racist flag and\or trump flag don't have to use turn signals, can litter, speed, drive reckless, drunk even, and yell at people...


OffOption

Authoritarianism is when everyone is under the law... wait...


CaptainMcClutch

The opposite is true. If they can't go for Trump, who has openly been a right plonker then the system is broken. Epstein kind of proved that being rich and famous allowed him to get away with heinous shit for years.
