I'm not a religious person, but karma is real.
You think the KARMA he deserves is being meted out?! With this slow fucking shitshow?
It’s not karma to break the law and then be prosecuted for it, that’s just “the law” or society/government. If karma was real this fucker never would have been president.
If karma was real my life wouldn’t suck so hard. If karma was real then 50% of the world’s money wouldn’t be in the hands of like 83 terrible people. If karma was real police officers wouldn’t get away with murder all the time, or get a $31k/year pension for shooting an unarmed man in a hotel hallway (cops and rich people are an example of when the LAW is just as imaginary as karma).
The list could go on forever. The idea of karma is a nice fantasy we justice-minded people can imagine, but in reality, it’s just bullshit like every other superstition.
Trump broke, in prison with his name becoming known for corruption isn't the ending he had planned.
Point of order: Karma is for the next life. Not this one.
Only this life is real, though.
I think it’s more that until now he’s always skated by on technicalities or republican intervention, and now there are 4 fairly ironclad cases that republicans have no real power to stop, and right now it’s slowly being released on him in a painfully constipated fashion, almost certainly to become a full diarrheal blowout before it’s all done.
I just call it “justice"
The dildo of justice rarely arrives lubed.

Trump being unalived would be karma. This ain’t that
More just cause and effect. Commit obvious financial crimes on paper for years, you might get caught.
Yeah, and get caught doing enough crimes, you might get punished.
I doubt he’ll ever see prison though, or be forced to forfeit his ill gotten gains—hence, karma is fucking bullshit.
He’s a thief, a liar, a con man, a rapist, and a fucking traitor. With what he’s done to America and Americans alone, there’s no “karmic” outcome that would suffice to balance the scale opposite this disgusting piece of shit.
No, if karma was real, we would be seeing significant consequences.
If a man commits a crime with a gun, simply taking away his gun is not enough.
