Lifting the stay would kick things up a notch, I think.
LMAO. We’re ~10 months away from an election in which Trump is very live to win the damn thing and all the shit that goes along with THAT and we just need to chill here guys, even though the almost universal outcome of everything is and has been LOL LAW
We are 7 years into this fucking nightmare and law bros still have the fucking nerve to insist the system is working just great.
This is the true fucking horror. I can’t imagine any basically intelligent person thinking the US legal system has a shred of credibility. I’d be so embarrassed to be making claims about how the system will save America at this point. These people are as delusional as those who think Clinton is an alien who lives off the harvested juices of children’s glands.
Trump will be criminally convicted of a felony before election day. Maybe there would be some doubt if there were only one case against him, but when 4 prosecutors and 3 presiding judges are pushing everything as fast as possible while observing a minimum of due process, book it.
Ken Paxton’s trial is set for April of next year.
He was indicted 8 years ago.
Children’s glands.
Even the best scenarios result in the SCOTUS issuing a stay pending appeal, right?
I will take action on this
Gee, that’s a tough one. Oh what oh what could it be.
It’s pretty standard for people to believe something won’t fail until it actually completely and utterly fails. These people will have faith until sometime after the first missed election.
95% of god telling people what to do also happens to be exactly what they want to do
What are the odds?
$100 at even money. Settle via venmo.
Plus they have chosen to base their entire worldview on an aggressively anti-fact fairytale where the central and most sacred tenant is believing the most outlandish things in spite of the mountains of evidence to the contrary. Not exactly hard to see why someone like this would love trump. He is the most “religious” person on earth.
Was waiting until the bet got booked so as not to ruin econ’s action but there even being a criminal trial prior to election day has to be a huge dog. Add in needing a unanimous jury in a charged political environment and the odds of convicting Trump prior to election day has to be nearly zero.
Hope I’m wrong but getting 12 non-MAGA types on a jury is going to be nearly impossible. And we are already seeing signs that the obvious delay strategy for Trump will work anyways.
None of these cases have even had a preliminary hearing yet have they?
Also the small matter that in the impossible event he was convicted there is a zero percent chance said conviction would result in any legal or political consequence.
He gets us.
