Never to be called an “administration” but a DICTATORSHIP.
So the damage to the pool already existed, it was widely publicized and many many people were out there observing and touching the water, yet you’re claiming this this individual somehow caused $1000+ in damages for touching tbe already peeling paint. Even if he yanked on it and more peeled off (which all indications are that he didn’t do that), that would still not constitute new damage since it wouldn’t peel unless already damaged before he touched it. So, yeah. Good luck making that stick.
Today, a grand jury has returned a felony indictment against a defendant, David Hearn, for felony destruction of property, for which he faces 10 years in prison,” Pirro, a Trump appointee, said.
She proceeded to call the destruction of national monuments “one of the most offensive images” she has ever seen.
“This unchecked vandalism and civil disorder turns into criminal behaviour, and that’s why we’re here today,” Pirro said. “They are an affront to the dignity of our shared history.”
One journalist asked Pirro if her decision to seek a felony indictment was influenced by Trump, who wrote on Truth Social that a 10-year prison sentence should “be fully enforced” for any attempted damage to the Reflecting Pool.
“I didn’t charge anything harshly. I charge according to the evidence,” Pirro replied. She argued that Hearn caused damage exceeding $1,000, thereby necessitating a felony charge.
Talking about your insecure corrupt whiney babies. Of course this case won’t go anywhere, it’ll be thrown out in no time because no evidence at all, which is because the entire complaint is a lie to cover up the incompetence and corruption of trump and his pool buddy.
USA! USA! USA!
He’s going to make millions on this. He’s going to sue everyone, he’s going to write a book, he’s going to have a gofundme, he’s going to be on every podcast, maybe a hawktua coin… he’ll deserve it, but he’s going to be just fine.
The whole presidency has turned out to be a glorified cash grab.
I can’t believe Trump is going to do all that over this one stupid thing…
Oh wait, you mean the guy! Oh yeah, he should definitely rape those MAGA scumbags as hard as possible.
When are we going to stop watching this asshole ruin peoples lives to cover up his bullshit failures? Its time we the people rise up and physically remove this motherfucker for good.
A lot of people, and the right wing media, think he’s awesome. Now that he has exploited his office to make himself rich he can buy support.
Not a “lot of people,” about 30%, and many of those don’t think he’s “awesome,” they just think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to steal as much as possible, and almost certainly get away with it, and that’s only possible as long as Trump holds power.
Okay, officer. What do you suggest “we” do?
I have a large stash of heavy weapons, light aircraft and armored vehicles ready to go.
Violent revolution with the express intent of ending the lives of political enemies. Thought that was pretty clear?
Just make sure you have a plan for after, this is where revolutions turn into what they revolted against
Didn’t Turd vandalize the entire pool?
Reflecting Pool - 7
Epstein Files - 00 in the us.
The tRUMP-EPSTEIN files have taken down people in decent countries.Also the UK.
Roll the video of trump driving over the uncured paint that never should have been filled with water for 30 days. Fat donnie needs to pay for the damage he did with his own money.
Every cent he has was stolen from us taxpayers though.
Take all of his money (and his family’s), throw him in prison, and have him work off the cost of this reflecting pool damage at like 17 cents an hour, picking up trash along the highway or cranking out license plates.
Are they holding him in jail? Do they have ANY evidence? This seems like North Korea shit to me. Nazi shit. Whatever, it’s fucking BAD.
wasn’t it last week someone got 50 years for basically the crime of having pamphlets?
They sent someone to 50 years slavery in jail for wearing a black shirt.
Its already happening.
The grand jury that indicted him clearly think there’s enough evidence.
Trump and the administration have nothing to do with this.
well I mean yeah, they probably used something like the Chewbacca defense legal tactic. There’s no irrefutable defense against just making shit up until it sounds bad enough.
The democracy has been a joke for some time but now that they know they can do whatever with out consequences it’s pretty much done.
Chewbacca defense
Nonsensical diversionary legal defense
In a jury trial, the Chewbacca defense is a legal strategy in which a criminal defense lawyer tries to confuse the jury rather than refute the case of the prosecutor. It is an intentional distraction or obfuscation. As a Chewbacca defense distracts and misleads, it is an example of a red herring. It is also an example of an irrelevant conclusion, a type of informal fallacy in which one making an argument fails to address the issue in question.[1][2] Often an opposing counsel can legally object to such arguments by declaring them irrelevant, character evidence, or argumentative.
Johnnie Cochran uses the Chewbacca defense against Chef in the South Park episode “Chef Aid”.
The name “Chewbacca defense” comes from “Chef Aid”, an episode of the American animated series South Park.[3] The episode, which premiered on October 7, 1998, satirizes the O. J. Simpson murder trial, particularly attorney Johnnie Cochran’s closing argument for the defense. In the episode, a fictionalized version of Cochran bases his argument on a false premise about the 1983 film Return of the Jedi. He asks the jury why a Wookiee like Chewbacca would want to live on Endor with the much smaller Ewoks when “it does not make sense”. He argues that if Chewbacca living on Endor does not make sense—and if even mentioning Chewbacca in the case does not make sense—then the jury must acquit.
Grand juries will indict a ham sandwich. The prosecution is Trump’s DOJ, they 100% work for the administration. They also have a history of lying and violating the law when presenting to grand juries (where there is no defense allowed).
You have absolutely no idea how any of this works, so please do educate yourself before speaking.
I’m genuinely surprised still bc they couldn’t indict someone who threw a ham sandwich. DC must no longer be bothered by the sight of the national guard…
The prosecution didn’t indict him, the grand jury did.
The prosecution presents the “evidence” to the grand jury. There is no defense against that, and the prosecution can present the “evidence” however they’d like.
They could claim that he shot twelve small children before taking out a pocket knife and slashing apart the reflecting pool, and the grand jury would just have to accept that.
They are not getting a trial or a defense or having all evidence presented and accounted for.
This is a political stunt, nothing more. Once he goes to court, this will get either tossed out, or if it goes to trial and an actual defense lawyer gets a hold of it, the case is over. There is no case. This is 100% optics.
As the person above you said, you need to educate yourself before speaking. Your ignorance is what fascists prey on.
Again - The prosecution didn’t indict him, the grand jury did.
I hate being cynical enough that this occurs to me but you could argue there is a speculative fortune to be made doing extremely legal things and getting arrested by this fascist regime - just for the eventual and essentially inevitable cash settlement.
Really the only speculative part is that there will be a functioning judicial system.
Or you could get sentenced to 50 years for protesting like in Texas.
They’ll be getting out, too, but in the meantime, they are innocent people stuck in prison, where NOBODY wants to spend even a single day. I hope they survive the experience, it would be just like these Predators to put them in the worst prisons in America, then encourage the other inmates to hurt them.
The purpose was to frighten the rest of us into compliance, so having a few of them get murdered in prison will make that point even sharper.
ALL those responsible for this abomination should get life in the same prisons they sent these people.
Incorrect headline. A grand jury indicted him, not the trump administration.
The DoJ put it in front of a Grand Jury, doesn’t the DoJ represent the “Trump administration?”
Hint: Yes, they do.
Did the DoJ make the decision to indict him, or did the grand jury?
Epoxy paint is toxic, they saved the ducks.
At least seven people, including Hearn, have been arrested on allegations they may have harmed the pool’s blue-painted bottom.
it had to be SOMEBODIES’ fault!!!
Only Trump and his circle of idiots would criminalise fucking algae.
Drain the fucking pool, theres no reflection here.
Oh I’d argue its offering us quite a “reflection” of who we’ve become as a nation…
Truly the Nathaniel Hawthorne of our time.
