Need to ban Governor/Presidential pardons. Only a 3/4ths majority vote from the Senate should be able to override a conviction.

[MrChinaski]

52% of American voters chose a convicted criminal to be their President... so...

[Rosexøxø]

@bddddd gladly not I.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

@bddddd Convicted of what? they falsely tried to impeach him using unconstitutional "secret witnesses".

He lost an illegal civil trial in which he was fined hundreds of millions of dollars over an alleged slander incident, but people have and were slandering him every day of his life for my entire lifetime. If he sued everyone who falsely accused him, he'd be a trillioinaire by now.

[goaded]

@bddddd No, less than 50% of the people who voted voted for Trump.

[red324]

Hard to say how he got trump to let them go. Money and friends in high places I guess

[MisterWack]

Yes and always believed that.

There is a two tier justice system: If you are an Average Joe, you get locked up

If you are wealthy and steal $1.2 billion from worker’s salaries over the span of 4 years…. You are off the hook.

My stance, if you steal a $5 bagel and they throw the book at you… What’s stopping them from going after Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates? The rich and powerful get away with it.

Dupont put harmful chemicals that cause increase spike of cancer in the waterways, there was a company with a faulty utility pole in Texas that caused good hard working Conservative Farmers to lose their livelihoods overnight, Boeing making crappy planes also unsafe standards, Amazon Warehouse Employees being forced to pee in bottles because they reduce pay for bathroom breaks leaving the work station, Coca Cola was able to skip govt taxes payments from disabling IRS funding and no one went to jail once IRS funding came back though they paid a small fine, etc. and no jail time.
Corrupt Rich!!!

[SixFootSexy]

We do have a two-tiered justice system. One for the rich, and one for the poors.

If a law can be bypassed with a fine and nobody goes to jail or gets executed, it's just a minor inconvenience for the rich. This is why big corporations like Big Pharma can pay off these fines, hire more lobbyists, poison millions, make billions and it's just the cost of doing business.

The judicial system is toothless.

[defon20]

Of course. OJ is an example. I don't believe he's guilty of first degree murder, because the pieces of physical evidence (weapon, DNA, video/audio surveillance), witnesses, etc... were all absent. But does anyone really believe that if he had had a public defender like the Central Park 5 did... that he would've skated out of there free?🤨The Central Park 5 didn't. The difference wasn't race. The difference was... one group was teens from low income families and 1 was mentally retarded and had public defenders. The other was a multimillionaire Hollywood actor with the most high priced lawyer team in the country.

[tfan1]

I think President Donald J Trump 🇺🇸❤️🙏👍🙂 is the best president we’ve ever had but I fail to see why he presidential pardoned that jerk chrisley. I saw his show one time and unless it’s for tv - he’s a sicko! He claimed that if anyone is in the bathroom for more than 3 minutes - hidden cameras turn on and record! What freak does that? Taking a schit sometimes takes longer than 3 minutes! Ever heard of diarrhea?

[CB-Raido-Time]

They absolutely do they have a pass to do whatever they want. There is a two tier and rules they play by a system of hypocrisy a system of lies. And sadly there are those that are willing to enforce the double standards too and they continue to do it to their fellow man's and their own detriment.

[CB-Raido-Time]

A two tier system two tier rules.

[hahahmm]

No... they have never go to jail in the first place cards in most cases. The ones smart enough to have friends in the police, judges, other officials. The dumb ones do go to prison as tokens to make suckers think the system is fair.

[Chazmatazz269]

It’s not “free”. Wealthy people have resources that allow them to avoid detention and incarceration in ways that poorer people do not. That’s not “free”.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Thats like asking "do you believe money exists".
You don't need to believe it when you can see it.
Its very common for a sufficiently large bribery to cause people to look the other way.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Of course they do, look at Trump. The man was convicted on all 34 counts and he never spent a second in jail.

[red-lipstick-girl]

I definitely believe this, this situation is very common in Türkiye and I have seen many examples of it and I still see it even on the internet.

[OneViewpoint]

Does a bear shit in the woods? The rich have always been able to buy their way out of being held accountable to society for their crimes.

[lightbulb27]

some or rather, avoid jail a lot of times... depends the crime and lawyers.

but other people get out of jail early as well.

[Anonymous]

Believe?

Pretty much proven time and time again. But the that is how lost elite rich obtain that level of wealth. They are willing yo do anything for it. Most of us have a conscience.

[exitseven]

Yes, they can afford the best lawyers and have connections everywhere.

[wynning]

Maybe a get out of jail easier card. Nothing's free.

[molonski2]

In the USA and many parts of Asia 100 % Yes , the system is a joke.

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah I don't know. It’s probably just a good lawyer or a “good lawyer.” lol

[dragoblack]

The usa laws are based around punishing the poor to keep them poor & controlled and "throw money at the problem". That's why there is a bailout system.

[Jackblue]

If that is true Epstein wouldn't have ended up in one of the worst jails in the US, not that I pity him, but the jail he went to was absolute hell.

[adventurous-1]

I believe that you can buy justice, it happens a lot.

[RingOfFire]

Yes, that is often the case.

The United States has the most unjust justice system in the world.

Except for all the others.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Is the Pope Catholic? Are buxom blondes hot? Is it a tad warm in summer in Arizona? Is water wet? Do the Colorado Rockies suck major, major a**?

[Blackcat1952]

I believe so yes of all colors Yes even rich black people do . And to a point and to a point . They should . Of course depending on What The bases. Of the situation

[Anonymous]

It happens, but rarely. But it's nice to believe so because it stokes our flames of partisan anger, doesn't it?

[genericname85]

no cause it's not "free" they pay their way out of jail.

[SotiCoto]

Basically. That is part of why you can't trust laws to ever work in your favour.

[jamesgoldman]

Sure, they have lawyers on retainer and can settle financial penalties with ease

[msc545]

Generally not exactly free, but definitely a lot easier. They still have to pay for lawyers sometimes.

[Anonymous]

rich people have powerful connections that can free them from prison

[DCVsMarvel2]

The rich dont have a get out of jail free card

But, when you have criminals, pardoning criminals, that's called a banana republic

[OddBeMe]

Well... money buys better defense lawyers. But also chief of police ain't gonna order a raid on them like he would poor people.

[Anonymous]

I think a public defender should have the same budget as the prosecutor.

[Anonymous]

i think you mean money... money pays their bail.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but how much depends on a few factors. This has ALWAYS been the case.

[Cormac995]

Yea it's called money.

[Jeff51]

Sometimes I think so

[goaded]

Only with this president.

[DrPepper12]

No, they have the Grifter in Chiefs contact info

[DawnB]

I dont think it's the rich

[Alex-Snow]

Of course as long as Trump is in office

[ilistengood]

Yes , only they call them layers.

[blackeagle007]

I don’t think this is debatable

[Panthero80]

How are those two people?

[Godihateyou]

It's blatantly obvious.

[robocop666]

Yup certainly in america anyway

[Courtney7]

No they take money for it to.

[Agape93]

Yeah because they do

[FunkyMonkee]

Only the democrats.

[zombiewoof]

They do now
