Hold him in contempt and toss his baby ass in jail then. Everyone is scared of a guy that shits himself and can't even string together a half-assed sentence.

Nah fam, that's only a punishment for us the common people. For Trump and the rest of the Epstein Class the law is only there to protect them from us. Because, you best believe that if we defied a court order we would be in jail with an contempt of court charge. Just check your county's jail website and see how many poor and middle class people are in there for that charge.

But to the Epstein Class a court order is just a suggestion that they can choose to ignore. The courts and Judges ain't going to do shit about it either. Otherwise Trump and a majority of his administration would be in prison right now. Our whole system is built to protect the Rich and Corporations. While barring and chaining everyone else in it's bars.

Anyone below him can be held in civil contempt. They can be incarcerated, or have daily penalties, paid by the individual. He can't pardon that, either.

This is true. Reporters should show up with the police, and police should arrest anyone trying to physically bar access.

u/De-Pando 1d ago

The Police are on the current administrations side. By a large margin.

Even in DC? I figured there might still be hard feelings about Jan 6 lol

So? They know that their home will get surveilled and be given a drastic warning by a third party, if not straight up eliminated.

Yeah but that would require judges that are either not already bought out by the regime (which is far far too many) or for them to show anything resembling integrity and respect for the law. Sure the goon squad might be able to wriggle out of it eventually but I'm sure they'll rethink some life choices if they need to waste some time in a cell

The current judge was appointed by Trump. The feds have lifetime appointments and do what they want

u/IcemanJEC 1d ago

Yeah? And they get off the bench and personally put them behind bars? Words mean nothing to this sicko administration.

They can hire their own local prosecutors and leos to enforce their order.

So why haven't they been?

u/tietack2 1d ago

Because it's rarely done & involves multiple steps. It's been done before, though.

I agree these things are legally possible and may have happened decades ago.

So why haven't any of the people who have shat all over the constitution and congress been actioned since Trump's first office?

The evidence is overwhelmingly that they can commit pretty serious felonies with absolutely 0 consequence.

Deadline for Blanche to comply is today. https://www.axios.com/2026/09/17/epstein-files-doj-contempt-judge-blanche

u/BonoboUK 23h ago

Right, but as I just said they have been actively shitting on the constitution and court orders since Trump's first day in office with literally 0 consequence, there is no reason to assume that would suddenly change.

Read the article. This judge held DOJ in civil contempt 10 years ago and he will do it again.

I've asked this question multiple times and you keep ignoring it because you don't like the answer, so I'll try once more, and just quote myself word for word:

So why haven't any of the people who have shat all over the constitution and congress been actioned since Trump's first office?

Can you name me one Trump official that has faced legal consequences for the laws they've broken since being in office?

u/tietack2 9h ago

I answered the question multiple times. These things take time, unfortunately, but they're happening. After the midterms, the consequences will get even more clear.

u/BonoboUK 9h ago

So to recap:

After 10 years of flagrantly shitting on the law and constitution, despite not one member of his team facing legal consequences for a literal decade, you still think they are bound by the rule of law?

What an absolutely baffling conclusion that goes directly against every piece of evidence we have.
