    My mom said “theyre trying to set a precedent to do this to us!” Idk what new enforcement of laws that will emerge from this that will effect/target broke white trash idiots in east tx like my family and everyone they know but I’m assured it’s very serious

      From this moment onward it's no longer legal to commit low level white collar crime in the state of New York by falsifying documents about how $30,000 was spent. This is a deeply grave matter that will result in outlawing white christianity

          I ask as someone who has spared themselves any coverage besides brief mentions on tiktok: he has 34 felony convictions now, right? It sounded like much more than being mistaken about campaign funds.

          Deeply unserious country

      There are few things that reveal your privellage more than saying "this might set the precedent of people getting charged with crimes even if they're innocent"

      Setting aside the fact that he could not possibly be more very obviously guilty.

      His entire business strategy has been "fuck people over and take advantage of the fact rich white people don't get charged with crimes" for 40 years, he's gonna end up getting "house arrest" that extends to any of hit properties or rallies or campaign events and these dumb shits still complain about not being treated well enough.

        Pre-COVID it was about 1%, now it's about .6%. Good improvement, but still one of the world's highest, and notably 4-5 times more than China.
