Okay, so the Orange Shitbag is guilty. What now? His sentencing isn't until July 11th, I'll eat my fucking glasses if he actually gets jail time.
This doesn't disqualify him from running for POTUS, does it? That's all I want. I dont want there to be a snowballs chance in Hell that he'll get re-elected.
@mcfate The judicial system seems to work very differently for you and I vs people like him. "Famous". If it were a regular Joe, he'd be in jail for the next 20 years. I just don't trust it to work the same for him. I HOPE it does, but I fully expect it to not. I do hope I'm wrong.
All you're doing is repeating the same, unsupported assertion. The judicial system didn't work so differently for him that he got found innocent, after all.
A judge has broad latitude on how he responds to contemptuous defendants, and your appeal to some fictitious "regular Joe" isn't even anecdotal evidence.
I continue to fail to comprehend what you, or anyone, gets out of inventing bad news so that you get to be the bearer of it.
@mcfate Okay. Enjoy your block.
Oh, I TOTALLY will. Enjoy being petulant.
@mcfate Look, it's just MY OPINON. I said I'd be HAPPY to be proven wrong. Don't get your friggin panties in a wad, man. Sheesh.
It's a silly opinion, though, and that's MY opinion.
THE SHITBAG IN A COURTROOM BEING A SHITBAG is the best reality show ever...
@Evereigh I don't understand how the law can say a felon cannot vote, but can run for President.
@Tacitus_Kilgore @Evereigh that never made sense to me either. I get that the founders didn't anticipate a literal cult leader running for president THREE TIMES but I just hope that the same sentiment that booted him from office in 2020 shows up to keep him out in 2024.
@Evereigh I feel the same.
Likely won't see jailtime, but the judge can decide otherwise if he thinks it's warranted. If Trump behaves himself (🙄), maybe the judge will be lenient and sentence him to community service or something. But yeah, I doubt he's going to be hauled off to prison.
I'm more than happy to be proven wrong, though!
@Ubiety Exactly! I hope to be proven wrong as well!
No, sad to say he's not disqualified. There are only two qualifications to run for POTUS - you have to be over 35 and a natural born citizen.
@Evereigh Here's something you might find hopeful. One was from a Bloomberg article in January this year, the other from Reuters last summer.
@Evereigh
Why would you believe he won't get jail time?
