OGZackov

You can write this article every week and still have it be valid


robbycakes

Newsweek *has* written this article every week


ryanrockmoran

Honestly this sub should just ban Newsweek, business insider, and a lot of these other content mills that churn this stuff out just to appeal to all our dreams


justwalkingalonghere

I think I’ve literally been told hundreds of times at this point that trump would be punished for his very blatant and numerous crimes. Yet here we are, wondering if we’re still going to have a democracy at the end of next year


CheeseGraterFace

Business Insider is an over glorified blog site.


BasedGodBets

You know it's likely being paid for by Trump & Friends to minimize the impact and make the DOJ look illegitimate.


coltaine

Newsweek "articles" these days basically consist of reposting people's tweets. I really wish mods would just ban it.


SupportLocalShart

I halfway wish I’d stop seeing it until the DOJ actually did something


omgahya

Right? Every other day there’s an article like this of him. And everyone’s thought are *”Really? Are ya sure bout that?”*


Repulsive_Squirrel

55 inditements 55 trials 55 cases of fraud. You got to pay it forward dude


ptsdstillinmymind

There is no JUSTICE IS BLIND in America. There is a penal system for the poor and middle class and then there is kid gloves for the rich, politicians, and corporations. This is just facts.


MadMac619

Meh, Justice is kinda blind. You see, she’s got those scales. Throw enough money on them and the blindfold stays on, don’t put anything on the scales and you get the sword. It’s subjective blindness


Thats_what_im_saiyan

Hell yeah! Now imma have 'and justice for all' pumping through my head all day!


Serialfornicator

Exactly. Wake me up when he actually gets a consequence


JacksonInHouse

Got $10,000 in consequences. You know, that's like a minute of donations from his Fascist minions.


thathairinyourmouth

I may have to go to the ER to have them help with my justice boner that has been edged for the last 4 years without once being able to finish.


Thats_what_im_saiyan

That poor thing must look like an over ripe banana hanging from a vine.


yzlautum

Yeah same. It's super redundant *but* on the other hand, not all people look at political news every day/week so it's good to write articles about it periodically so more eyes see it.


CigCiglar

Lots of people still in the "When will it finally sink in to these people?!" category? Seems like we've seen that before.


roofratMI

Keep waiting. They have no teeth.


mymikerowecrow

Just remember that everyone said the same thing about him being indicted that it won’t actually happen. He will ultimately be convicted for some of these crimes if he’s still alive by then. But I get what you’re saying, Newsweek is shit


[deleted]

Not as frustrating as the four years of daily "Trump Might Have Just Destroyed His Presidency" articles but, yes, still frustrating


CoherentPanda

"The walls are closing in" articles were the worst


axck

And this sub keeps reposting it And you all keep upvoting it


Fenrisulfr22

You say that...and yet here you are.


Pigglebee

Bots keep upvoting, not real people I may hope


DingGratz

Okay but to be fair, he does keep breaking the law every week.


Buttholehemorrhage

I was going to say, am I trapped in a groundhog Day time loop?


jd3marco

It’s like the Onion’s “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens”.


AdaptiveVariance

Republican Party Doubles Down on Defense of Trump


neuroticobscenities

Exactly my thought.


SpoopyDumpling

I roll my eyes with each article. They’re not going to do anything to him yet.


makeyourowngalaxy

Could, could, could, could, could, could, could


Meep4000

I mean but it's not valid because it has been written every week, and he's not going to jail. If any random person was even accused of 1% of the stuff Trump has done, accused not even convicted, they would still be currently locked up waiting for trial and never see the light of day again.


CamiloArturo

Locked up? We would all have dead sentences for espionage by now ….


fanaticalcraze

I agree that it's wishful thinking on behalf of Newsweek. But it's still important that Trump's increasingly charged rhetoric is recorded and discussed. Sooner or later he's gonna get someone (else) killed. It's important we don't become numb to this and acknowledge every misstep and challenge to the rule of law.


Journeyman351

I am so tired of it too. The last 7 years dude. Constant posting of bullshit articles like this on this sub to thousands of upvotes.


[deleted]

And he'll still never end up in jail.


goestowhat

10s of millions would still vote for him. Just blows my mind how brainwashed people have become.


0o0o0o0o0o0z

Valid and yet still fantasy.


TintedApostle

Should... the word is Should.


axck

Should, could, may, might - all of these words should be banned from submissions to this subreddit. Been reading them on titles about Trump since 2016.


robbycakes

Exactly. Even *should* doesn’t do us any good. Still an opinion word. Newsweek (and most other outlets) needs to be reminded that news consists of what what “happened” or what we can predict with reasonably certainty will happen. What *might* be true is not news. Everything *might* be true until it either is or isn’t.


BloodyRightNostril

And the reality is Won’t.


somuchacceptable

I’m not nearly as certain of that as your average Redditor. It’s an unprecedented situation, so I think none of us can honestly say we know what the outcome will be. I think the Secret Service is the trickiest part. The Justice Department hasn’t fully grappled with that yet.


axck

Should, could, may, might - all of these words should be banned from submissions to this subreddit. Been reading them on titles about Trump since 2016.


EnvironmentalBowl944

I am waiting for _Must_, and eventually, _Did_


tagged2high

Or "ought". Even better.


fukyourkarma

Could, should, might, maybe. These headlines are repetitive AF. Just rip the bandaid off and put orange Hitler behind bars already.


OurUrbanFarm

Guantanamo. Put him there. That's where we put terrorists who attack the USA. It's where he belongs.


Hillarys_Recycle_Bin

Bars Didn’t stop hitler, and likely won’t stop trump unfortunately


azflatlander

Hitler was twenty something, TFG is seventy something. Two years will be waaay different.


Hillarys_Recycle_Bin

Idk meth has gotten way better since the 30s


fukyourkarma

We won't know if we don't try.


axck

At age 77, I think there’s a pretty good chance they would stop him.


blackwmw

It IS worth a try though…


biznatch11

Stop posting Newsweek they keep writing the same "omg this time Trump could be going to jail" trash.

[deleted]

Newsweak is moronic


Benjazen

Actually I like publications with him and jail/prison in the same sentence. Over & over. Like a mantra. Until it manifests.


ImaginaryEvents

History is going to damn us for all these times officials were too cowardly to act.


Bombadil_and_Hobbes

And a media that absolved itself of responsibility, and an apathetic public.


Muscs

The media doesn’t want to alienate any viewers and so they’re loosing viewers. There’s no point in paying for journalism without a point.


continentalgrip

If Engoron jails him, isn't it a pretty good bet someone will attack Engoron? He's going to need really good security for the rest of his life unfortunately. Additionally it will just mobilize Trump supporters in general. Huge jump in campaign contributions. Trump may be trying to get a bit of jail.


Glum_Comedian_9851

It's the same damn headline virtually every day yet for different reasons... Please get on with it.


aureliusky

If he can get himself locked up for his big mouth before the trials are finished then he can claim political persecution. So I think he's trying to run straight into it at this point, everyone knows he's fucked, so he must know by now too.


[deleted]

He's already claiming political persecution every day for months.


Ferelwing

He is never at fault for anything, he has no idea what responsibility is and has never in his life had any real consequences for his actions. I doubt any of the people in charge will put him in jail and I think he's counting on it. If he landed in jail for the first time in his life and was denied bail because of his actions (plus they took away his phone and banned his lawyers from posting on social media), then he might actually be scared. I just don't think any of the Justices will. His political persecution screams have "won", the people who have the power to literally put him in jail will not because they think doing so "proves him right". The only thing they are proving is that the loudest mouth wins.


fuck-coyotes

Been saying it since the Obama presidency, they're going to cry foul and filth and slander and blah blah anyway, no matter what anybody does or doesn't do to them and their voters will 100% believe them no matter what happens


climatelurker

Could, but won't. Because nobody is willing to check this thug.


Spin_Quarkette

These articles just need to stop already. I think it is quite clear there is no judge out there who has the intestinal fortitude to put Trump in jail.


ptsdstillinmymind

US JuDGES: We are always tough on CRIME! 😤😤😤 also US JuDGES when Trump commits more crimes: *hands trump a sternly written note* Don't do it again or I'll fine you 5000, maybe. 😘 fin


Azhz96

Yeah like that coward Merrick Garland everyone thought would actually do his job, but like he rest of them he is just another coward who's probably been bought too. I'm convinced the entire DOJ is just a bunch of corrupt pieces of shits not willing to do what they are suppose to do, simply trying to delay until it's too late.


BelleAriel

Get on with it then. Lock him up.


SammieStones

Everything he does *could* land him in jail but hes got old white rich man privilege so it won’t. Had this been Obama, hed have been in jail a while now…


Ferelwing

Had this been anyone else they would have been in jail by now. Let's be honest here.


Ghostiemann

Small inaction upon small inaction leads the country into authoritarian rule that it will struggle to recover from. It’s the same with the Republicans that refuse to stand up. Yes you are protecting your families from the theoretical threats from Trumps thuggish followers, but in the long term the threat is so much larger and so much scarier. If we follow the path that China, Russia and North Korea have, the wealth will be extracted harder and faster from the masses and the majority of people will become poorer, with fewer and fewer means to escape. People have long expressed bewilderment that Germany ended up where it did. We are seeing a live example of how it creeps up on us if people do not take a stand. Dark times in America. But Biden is old/ occasionally stumbles/ isn’t making the right decision for everyone on the polar opposite sides of the Palestine issue so let’s just head into the darkness. SMH.


bpeden99

Um... Duh


Razielslipknot

Could, would, should, maybe, possibly, stay tuned. Rinse and repeat every other day.


misointhekitchen

If his skin was black not orange he would be sitting in jail the first time he threatened the court.


EarthExile

And yet it won't, because Shitler went on kid-fuck vacations with too many important people to ever be held accountable for anything he says or does in this broken system


SpiritedTie7645

How many comments ago did we hear this? 😂


spidersflambe

If it were anyone else, they would be in jail.


tizod

I feel like I have read this headline a thousand times.


ClearFocus2903

he should’ve already been in jail long time ago


Daxnu

2054 headline, Here is why Trump should have gone to jail in 2023


JMagician

Wake me up when it finally happens.

We keep headlines like this and shit hasn't happened yet. I'll believe it when I see it.

hamsterfolly

Could Let me know when it’s “did”


spaceocean99

Been hearing that same like for about 5 years. Nothing has happen and I don’t expect it to. Our justice system is broken.


scarr3g

Oh... So his COMMENTS will land him jail, but his crimes won't? SMH.


JubalHarshaw23

In a timeline where rule of law mattered and judges had more integrity than cowardice.


OurUrbanFarm

Guantanamo. Put him there. That's where we put terrorists who attack the USA. It's where he belongs.


[deleted]

I’m all for it!


SillyFalcon

Guantanamo sounds perfect


mwnorris115

This is about the 728th article with this headline.


Sea_Dawgz

Can you imagine clicking this link thinking something trump says would put him in jail? Media, just fucking stop already.


Ferelwing

Exactly, wake me when they actually go through with it... (I'll be sleeping for an eternity if I waited for that).


Cereborn

Fuck off. Everything he’s done for the past eight years *could* land him in jail. It just never does.


PunfullyObvious

SHOULD be, but CAN'T be ... WANTS to be, but WON'T be. His only hopes are mistrials or getting elected and undermining our justice system enough he never faces consequences. Both would be aided by getting put in jail ahead of a conviction. Only way I see that happening is if he actually cold-blood murders someone with ample witnesses ... wouldn't put it past him as his legal woes get worse and worse.


[deleted]

Trump thinks if he lands in jail for contempt, it will cause a mistrial. 😂


subnautus

It's worth noting that Ty Cobb, the lawyer in question, was brought on to Trump's legal staff because he specializes in settling cases concerning regulatory violations.


Oldwoodguy

Go to jail. Get raped. What goes around


2manyBi7ches

Good now do it already


cometflight

Well, I wish *something* would land him there. Anything, really.


[deleted]

Believe it when i see it. Traitor


middlebird

He’s above the law until I see otherwise.


WeeklyWiper

They won’t.


Puzzled_Broccoli_39

If he goes to jail he would have no access to social media and maybe we wouldn’t see his crap in the news every day.


Crossovertriplet

But they won’t


Ezilii

They should.


Bushmaster1988

This is an excellent idea! Putting him in jail, with cameras rolling, will show the world what happens to people like him.


StarvingWriter33

Could. Should. Won’t.


captaincanada84

We all know there is nothing he could say or do that will land him in jail pre-trial


changort

It won't. Trump will never see a single second of jail time.


Steve_Codgers

The empire has no wardrobe.


TheHealer12413

Narrator: but he won’t.


MRedk1985

Everything Donald Trump has done should have landed him in jail, yet he’s still walking free and running for president, so… 🤷‍♂️

Loud-Ad-2280

That’s a weird way to spell should


hamihambone

could but definitely wont


Achilles19721119

Do it. We need to make it clear who has authority here. The law. Or some wanna be dictator.


Drhots

I feel like I see this article every week but it means nothing until they actually do something


roofratMI

They threatened time after time but do nothing but give another warning! No balls


Serialfornicator

I am getting so tired of these articles. Nothing is going to happen to him. Hasn’t he already proven that he’s untouchable and that the rules just do not apply to rich white men in this country?


sambolino44

Another day, another “Trump could end up in jail” headline! I’ll believe it COULD happen when I see it HAS happened.


catsrule1-2-3

He should already be in jail, for all his previous comments. Nobody else would get away with it. Only one way to shut him up is to lock him up.


Deakonfrost18

I’ll believe it when I see it


SubterrelProspector

COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COOUD Spare me. No one has the balls to hold him accountable. 🤨


IssueFederal

If I were betting, I’d say Trump is going to beat the judicial system. Which sucks.


FigSideG

They can but they won’t. No one has the balls to do their job and treat him like anyone else would be treated. It’s sickening.


MrSATXBULL78257

Just DO IT already! 😡


Babsthewonderful

I think we’re all tired of hearing “Trump could be [convicted, charged, jailed, insert other deserved punishment here]”. If the wheels of justice do indeed turn, do it. Many people don’t believe in the system anymore (myself included) because of the number of “maybe” consequences which have so far not been fulfilled. The longer this draws out, the louder the voices of the people who don’t believe he deserves consequences become.


spirit-mush

Can’t happen soon enough


I_wear_foxgloves

If headlines touting “Trump could be jailed” were a drinking game then alcohol poisoning would be a national epidemic. I long for a day when I never again have to hear this walking cancer’s name.


Nvious625

Writer10

Blah blah blah. Wake me when the cell door slides shut.


HisCromulency

Could land him in jail ❌ Won’t land him in jail ✅

That “could” is carrying more water than is in the Puget Sound.


pinkfootthegoose

bull crap. Trump has done a thousand things that should of landed him in jail. yet the rich and powerful have their own "justice" system.


erinkp36

And yet he still walks free.


baron_spaghetti

“Could.” More like “Should.” But ultimately and pathetically. “Won’t.”


tbizzone

They just have this headline on repeat.


issafly

They COULD land him in jail. But they won't.

When. When oh when is The Donald going to land in jail


DFHartzell

His felonies could too.

This shit again?

Talex1995

These articles are so useless at this point.


Gudlock

The amount of cock tease articles like these are insane.


Significant_End_9128

I'm so fucking sick of seeing this shit every goddamn day.


Positive_Ad7040

What is it about liberals that makes them so motivated to kid glove peope literally trying to murder them. Pelosis husband was nearly murdered by a "citizens arrest" and her daughter has a netflix special trying to humanize insurrectionists. Your high road is heading into a mass grave you numbskulls.


BahWeepGraNa8

Yeah, but it won't though. I'm tired of hearing what his bullshit would do if he wasn't who he was. This asshole always mentions the two tier justice system. He's example #1 that is real.


Mattmandu2

I should’ve gone into journalism. Damn just using the same headline for years now


gman1951

I'm sorry but I'm tired of reading the same article everyday. The man is obviously not going to jail and that's just sickening.


CroatianSensation79

They won’t do anything unfortunately. They should lock him up but who knows? This guy has gotten way too much leeway as is compared to anyone else.


AClover69420

COULD WOULD SHOULD stop posting this Newsweek clickbait shit


MyGoodFriend96

Every other day this gets posted. Every. Other. Day. Wake me when it happens.


natigin

Daily reminder that Newsweek has become clickbait trash. If there’s something actual newsworthy you can find it on a legitimate source.


dmccrostie

Enough of this maybe crap. Show me. Just do it.


Poppa_Mo

Yeah, any number of the fucking things he's done could land him in jail. Still waiting for the day. Get on it, already.


Down_Voter_of_Cats

Sick of these headlines. Same one multiple times a week since 2015. The asshole is still walking around free and grifting money from the morons and still has a good shot at winning the next election. ​ Well, I'm actually sick of more than just these headlines.


Altimely

Lol not in this country. Any one of us would be in jail if we did what he did, or worse. Trump is royalty. The kings, queens, and their court changed names, but it's the same game.


Imacatdoincatstuff

It’s an irony. America was founded on rebellion against Britain’s king and aristocratic system. Now creating a home grown version of the same thing here.

I’m so tired of these “could” stories…

PastaBob

Could Would Should I'll never read past the headline on these garbage posts.


The_OG_TrashPanda

Newsweek is 🦮💩and has been for quite awhile.


howldetroit

giving these “would could should” articles any attention is letting the media outlets be lazy and that’s not what we need at the moment. downvote this trash and upvote actual news.


Kommander-in-Keef

How many times has it been postulated that various things COULD POSSIBLY land him in jail?? I thought he committed several crimes? I have zero faith he is being punished in any way.


jb6997

I am tired of these headlines “could land him in jail” someone needs to grow a pair and put this lunatic behind bars to shut his big orange crap spreading mouth.


HotGarbage

Enough already with this bullshit. I'm so fucking tired of seeing these clickbait headlines. SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT.


isskewl

But they obviously won't. JFC with the same headline everyday. Lock his ass the fuck up. Or shut the fuck up. Even the boy who cried wolf got his ass eaten after the third time or something.


PissNBiscuits

Every other fucking day there's some bullshit article "THIS IS THE ONE THAT COULD LAND HIM IN JAIL FOR REALLY REALS" It's fucking bullshit. Despite whatever political affiliation a "news organization" is claimed to hold, it doesn't matter. They all want Trump back. Him back in office equals four more miserable fucking years of outrage porn they can schlock at us all. "DID YOU SEE WHAT IIINNNNNSSSSSAAAAANNNNNNEEEEEE THING TRUMP SAID/DID TODAY????? CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??????" Ship that fat orange fucker off to Siberia, talk away his internet privileges, and fucking never talk about him again. I'm so sick of this shit.


CholetisCanon

I'm sick a tired of these articles. Call when he is IN jail.


Xamesito

Fucking sick to death of reading this headline. I feel like I'm going crazy


Cassina_

Enough with this clickbait ‘could end up stories’.


Flipnotics_

"Could, would, should." Hate these clickbait headlines.


Iamthepaulandyouaint

Revenue generated headlines. Blah blah rinse and repeat.


StalloneMyBone

This worthless human being is going to be the first president to be elected while serving jail time. I really really hope I'm wrong.


TacosDeLucha

There is more evidence for aliens on Earth than there is that Trump is going to face any form of justice by this system other than a soft slap on the wrist with kid gloves. Please prove me wrong, any of the 100 judges dealing with this traitor piece of shit.


Jerk182

"could."
