A fair point. If anything all of the legal cases helped turn him into a martyr and helped him get here. Positive consequences!
People might piss on his grave, but yeah, we’re drawing dead for any consequences during his life. But that was pretty much always the case if he was re-elected.
And agreed, if Biden had pardoned Trump day 1 that would have been far better politically - we should have learned by now that you can never underestimate the average American voter.
Is it a consequence during his life if someone shoots him?
That would obv still be LOL law cos someone else had to impose the consequence.
I’m not entirely opposed to vigilante justice.
Only if they hit him…
Same.
This week has been the world champion lol law week of all time
Trump wants SCOTUS to suspend his sentencing (and they likely will)
Cannon stops release of reports in cases she has no jurisdiction
Alito has a casual exparte chat with Trump
It’s straight up dictator time folks. They are not even pretending anymore.
They did not but Alito Thomas Gorsuch Kav would have.
5-4 lol fucking law.
This should have been the easiest 9-0 decision ever and it ended up being 5-4. The ultimate lol-law.
SCOTUS hands the LOL Law crowd another L and they just decide to gaslight through. Typical.
Trump got convicted of 34 felonies and just got sentenced to “unconditional discharge”.
May not be the best morning to try to dunk on the LOL LAW crowd.
I suppose I could research it myself, but what is unconditional discharge? Aside from something you get when you have gonorrhea?
You get all the stigma of being a convicted felon but none of the punishment.
So no consequences got it
With the reality that Trump will be the President, imposing meaningful consequences is inappropriate. I was hoping for unmonitored probation, but only because I didn’t know literally no sentence was an option.
yeah this seems like a really dumb way for them to consume political capital considering the court is already seen as illegitimate. I can see them doing this if they thought Merchan was gonna give trump jail time OR if this was a shadow docket thing where we wouldn’t see how they voted, but considering we all knew that wasn’t going to happen why get involved here?
