Isn't it illegal to screw with the military actions of the U.S. ... and its allies?!!?

I don't think what he did was illegal per se, but he is definitely positioning himself against US geopolitical interests, which is a really bad idea if you are a US citizen, living in the United States. If he were to give away any military secrets that pass through star link, which I'm sure Russia will inevitably ask him to do, he will get arrested for espionage. He should tread very carefully.

Poor people get arrested. Rich people get to walk free and then get a slap on the wrist.

Trump was arrested by the legal definition, he never had spend time in jail denied bail or waiting for a chance to post bail.

Yes so what? What are you going to do about it?

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You got down voted but you're absolutely right. We, as a collective society, have allowed billionaires and those with obscene amounts of money to operate above the law. We're seeing it play out over and over through different actions of the rich, and those that get charged usually get lighter sentences or are not convicted. It's honestly a large scale problem that is not being addressed.

Cut off their funding. Billionaires don’t earn legit money, they harvest it off the money printer and give it to themselves and all their friends.

Don’t allow these nazis to keep issuing themselves new currency and then forcing everyone else to trade with it in order to sustain their lifestyles.
