    Trump is a felon, so I am not sure “lawful” is the best fit.

      The lawful/chaotic axis represents a person’s willingness to follow an external set of rules against their own instincts or opinions. Having a pocket judge or a pocket president to legitimize one’s actions does not make that person lawful.

        Also a convicted rapist found responsible in a civil rape trial.

        Pedants.

            Unless you are based on Warlock, combat is boring as a higher level 'Lock. (imo, one campaign, around level 7)

          In the interest of accuracy, none of Trump’s 34 convictions were for rape.

          He was found to be a rapist as a statement of fact in a civil lawsuit, but that’s not a conviction.

          So while he is a convicted felon 34 times over, and a rapist, he’s not a convicted rapist.

              Far too many for me to count. But I’m sure there is someone counting.

              Bare in mind that this is just the crimes Trump has committed in public. It will take possibly decades of investigations to figure out.

              Not that I think those investigations will come. Trump will likely die in office, either this term or the next ten, because he’s won.

              But just because he won doesn’t mean that the people can’t hasten that death in office. Sadly it’s not quite time for that yet. Things need to get worse before they can break cleanly.

          Because calling him a proven-in-court-but-technically-not-convicted-because-it-was-a-civil-trial rapist takes too long.

      In the d&d alignment chart they are because capitalists have no inherent power outside of the laws that enforce their property. Devils in D&D will always break the rules(and rebel) if they think they can get away with it.

        Huh? Devils are the corporate “trap you in fineprint and kill you with subclauses” type of evil. They are the ones who sell you the monkey’s paw and come to collect your soul no matter how it shakes out. Catching them in airtight clauses (or narrow loopholes) is famously how you screw over devils.

      As in “full of law”

      Like, just jam-packed stuffed to the gills with law, to the point where they vomit law out into the world and we all boil to death slowly in their law-infused stomach acid

    This only counts because they use their money to make their lives “lawful” through legislation and capture of the courts, minimizing their very real crimes against humanity.

    Okay perhaps Buffett, Gates, and Cook haven’t gone as far as actual crimes against humanity but the rest have, and Buffett, Gates, and Cook are still unlawful but used their money to twist the laws in their favor.

    unless by lawful you mean they manipulate the law however they please with their money and connections, then no.
