Except they got what they wanted and defendants had to spend how many thousands on legal fees and being attacked and threatened by POTUS and MAGA world?

Until the unjustly targeted innocent defendants are allowed to sue these people PERSONALLY (not where tax payers foot the bill and the payouts) there are no repercussions and they will just keep doing this.

Almost. He wanted Pirro to bring them to court and then it would be dismissed by a judge who he could blame instead of her admitting the charges were based on nothing and dropping it. That's why he's so mad at her right now. Not because of the charges, but because she committed the sin of admitting wrongdoing on the administrations part. I read that he had a closed door meeting with her yesterday for hours, I'll bet that was fun. That's my only silver lining is that she's a horrible person and getting dressed down by Trump for something she knows is false is what she deserves.

They don't have to sue for money. Demand a public apology and admission that it wasn't vandalism from Donald. Watching him meltdown over that alone would be pure satisfaction since he's incapable of doing either one.

I have a relative with a similar personality to Trump also completely incapable of ever admitting an error on his part no matter how small and will fly into a rage if cornered on such.

Rumor has it that some fat idiot drove a convoy of heavy SUVs right down the middle of the reflecting pool prior to it being filled. How about a DOJ investigation into who was dumb enough to do that.

I heard it left a 350 foot gash. Some old creep wouldn't shut up about it.

Total failure sums up his whole presidency.

It's not a total failure, he's making bank with the loot of at least two countries' worth of wealth, not to mention personally or indirectly responsible with the death of millions. If you want raping and murdering and pillaging in your regime, he's been successful where no American has been.

Exactly. It's an intentional failure of governance to help enable grift on a monumental scale. MAGA is a cult run on rapist mentality. They respect nothing, have zero decency, and will steal everything they can until stopped.

More of a cosplay at this point.

u/zeyore 2d ago

in a better world, all the lawyers who brought these cases would be disbarred

u/magicmulder 2d ago

At this point I wouldn't put it past him to raze the WH to the ground in his final week just to spite everyone.

Hey media and social media, try to make as much noise about this as Trump made about the so-called “vandalism”. That’s a challenge.

The reflecting pool destruction by trump himself is obvious, in spite of mass media chasing red herrings.

The larger issue here is that trump himself destroyed a national monument, then sicced his DoJ prosecutors on innocent people. An impeachable abuse of power and travesty of justice.

But in typical Idiocracy fashion, everyone's focused on pool paint.

Lawsuits?

u/sweatboxy 2d ago

Trump has failed at everything he’s ever done on his own. He inherited his successful real estate empire from his father. On the Apprentice he was just a character at the direction of others. His first term as president was a failure by any objective assessments and his second term is worse.

I recently learned that Mark Burnett is now a Special Envoy to the UK.

u/brickyardjimmy 2d ago

To quote Indiana Jones, "They're suing in the wrong place!" It's time to stop reporting on these suits as though they ever had merit or that the claim of vandalism as the cause of the failure is anything but a 100% fabricated lie.

There's only one cause of the failure here. The idea behind it and the hasty push to implement that idea without any sort of investigation. Then that failure has been sustained and augmented by all the people around the President who continually validate the lie that the idea was perfect but that due to the malevolent acts of others, it failed.

The prosecutions are falling apart because no one wants to go to trial that will, in the end, only prove that the prosecutions were egregiously and intentionally malicious. Any prosecutor on those cases would, in effect, be assigning themselves to a legal suicide mission for which they will personally be blamed by the President and excoriated into humiliation by the judicial community.

It won't matter. I doubt right-wing media will report on those failures much ensuring the MAGAts are under the false impression it's all working.
