Those of us like me who grew up in the #NewYork area knew #Trump was a fucking sleazebag in the 1980s

But the #justice system let him slide time and again, eyes glazed over

#Punitive force feeds the #crime you intend to stop- for low grade #crimes by the #poor (that #bigotry always demands heavy #punishment for)

But #narcissism #amorality #plutocracy, plotting great #malice, persistently: utterly different

They are always obvious as hell for years, decades

They can be stopped early

Must be

'There is a point in the history of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining "punishment" and "being supposed to punish" hurts it, arouses fear in it. "Is it not enough to render him undangerous? Why still punish? Punishing itself is terrible." With this question, herd morality, the morality of timidity, draws its ultimate consequence.' - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

#ShayeMoss & #RubyFreeman are also asking for an unspecified additional amount for #EmotionalDistress, as well as a “#punitive” award to #deter future misconduct.

#Giuliani looked on as an attorney for Moss & Freeman, Michael Gottlieb, lit into the former NYC mayor for using his prominent platform & alliance w/ #Trump to turn discredited allegations of election fraud against Moss & Freeman into a campaign aimed at overturning the 2020 election.
