With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.

Because: This is how the office is made ridiculous.
Which reminds me. Convicted felons are not allowed to visit various countries. How are they gonna uphold that one?
His job is to sentence Trump according to the crime committed. Why should he care about what job Trump is about to have? That's a problem for Trump, the voters and Congress. Just sentence him.
think of that
Why is EVERYONE who is IN POWER afraid of him, yet, regular ole citizens like me (us), aren’t??
I’ll NEVER be ok with this. EVER.
Really the entire country has abused spouse syndrome. It explains a lot of the under reacting by Dems, I think. And the abuser is an accomplished con man.
Thus it is Fallible.

Colorado opinion is rescjudicata
Trump will be known as a felon on 34 counts, that's it.
He won't get a fine either, because it wouldn't be a fine big enough to hurt the likes of Trump or deter him from committing these crimes again in the future.
Trump is KING.
We lost the country.
Miller is in charge of Transitions Horrifying.
GOP retreat leaks are god awful.
They will arrest Judge Merchan we have no laws no Constitution anymore. The US is no longer!
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;..... " tRump is a domestic enemy and Russia is a foreign enemy. Do your job!
The time to stop this was in '16 or at least when many of us BEGGED institutionalists to act against this UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOP COUP !

There is something really wrong with the Republicans’ brains in the Dobbs and Trump cases-- And conditioning the discharge on T obeying the presidential oath would surely give us new and useful data about the Republicans’ metastasizing [way of thinking] in the appeals . . . .

Tell Congress & to uphold their oath: 14A(3) DJT is disqualified

Either that or that dude lost his spine?
This is trial by popularity, not criminal justice.
Should have started worrying decades ago, now the two tier system is too entrenched.
our CONSTITUTION
Take an "oath" to defend it ????
HOW CAN THE MAN who SWEARS to destroy
our CONSTITUTION
Take an "oath" to defend it ?
34 felony convictions
We need to open the doors of every prison and let everyone go home that are serving time for lesser offenses.
Equal Justice Under the Law?
Regardless, isn't the purpose of taking an oath inherently that you are promising to keep said oath?
20 years of probation with very strict conditions like submitting copies of his business tax returns every year or risk going to jail once he's out of office.
he deserves praise (also, SCOTUS basically said Trump can kill Merchan if he wants)
Fining him represents no consequence at all. Jailing him would send the right message, but the entire justice system, from the lowest courts to the SCOTUS, are inexplicably afraid to do the right thing.
