Note that the DA couldn't have moved forward with appeals during Trump's presidency--that's a separate doctrine saying can't do anything v a sitting POTUS for immune or private conduct--but Trump has declared that he will appeal. The quick work from NY courts this week suggests he won't get anywhere - ThreadSky

I am trying to convince anyone with a bigger platform on the left to talk to me in order to have a very important discussion about what the right wing (potentially FA) are doing on YouTube. Sadly my success rate is0, which sucks cause I have a bad feeling after 20th of Jan we will not get much help.

As some have suggested, I wish he would have been sentenced to at least 1 day of work in a soup kitchen or homeless shelter to get a real look at the families who make up the homeless population and less fortunate before his extravagant inauguration.

Let's get the 47th #FOTUS trending

Will Judiciary ever stop operating in line with memos/doctrines/norms that are not laws and, quite frankly, stupid? If it is not a law, it doesn't HAVE to be followed.

And now everyone should know that we have a convicted multiple felon sitting in the White House. But do the majority care?

jarda.bsky.social•43 days ago

What's the point if SCOTUS has ruled that Donnie is a special boy who can crime all he wants? Normally, if justice worked as intended, he'd be locked up for tax fraud as Al Capone and be brought regularly to the court for all the other charges. Instead he arrogantly laughs into everybody's face.

bluefolk.bsky.social•43 days ago

Okay I’ve heard this too often. Do we’re not have a Vice President for a reason? He or she could fill in on court days.

Trump refused sedation for his colonoscopy during his 1st term because he would have had to temporarily turn over power to Pence. He'll never turn over power here.

bluefolk.bsky.social•43 days ago

Imagine what came out of that plumbing.

ibswift.bsky.social•43 days ago

Isn’t it amazing how quickly the court acted on that issue??? Compared to how long they sat on the last case!!! 🤬🤬

Agreed. -ONE.⚖

He should have been stopped and neutered in 2021

witwarrior.bsky.social•43 days ago

A moratorium on prosecution of a man while holding the office of president ought certainly to have as its corollary that man’s complete cessation of personal legal cases. He should never be allowed to bring the weight of the office to bear, albeit indirectly, in a contest with a private citizen.

Why wouldn’t Merchan stay pending handoff to next POTUS? It would’ve (i) made 👹 a ward of NY State while in office, (ii) reinforced that 👹 is not POTUS for life, and (iii) provided the opportunity to dunk his ass in Rikers for a long stretch because of his public recalcitrance.

strangelisa.bsky.social•43 days ago

I was wondering myself. Maybe they think if he knows he’s going to prison once he’s out, that he would do whatever he can to stay in office passed 4 years.

thefascistquestion.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh he’s gonna do that anyway.

strangelisa.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh I know. This should have been done a lot sooner, especially when they knew he would use up every appeal & delay tactic.

grmapete.bsky.social•43 days ago

I sure would like to have the money he spends on attorneys!

cooljenim.bsky.social•42 days ago

How did Jack Smith resigning 1/10 slip under so many radars?...

georgiegetsit.bsky.social•43 days ago

Harry -WHO EXACTLY wrote that memo about not prosecuting a sitting president??? How many people and can we find them?

witwarrior.bsky.social•43 days ago

And we’ll need torches.

georgiegetsit.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'll bring the tar and feathers.

witwarrior.bsky.social•43 days ago

That memo is at the root of all our troubles.

georgiegetsit.bsky.social•43 days ago

And Merrick Garland is the trunk, branches, leaves, termites, and the annoying bird's nest with the loud birds that shit all over your car.

witwarrior.bsky.social•43 days ago

😹😹😹😹

rpr17.bsky.social•43 days ago

So how was Paula Jones able to litigate against Clinton while he was President? Is different because the State is prosecuting Trump as opposed to a private individual?

ruviewer.bsky.social•43 days ago

That was a civil suit

jsev44.bsky.social•43 days ago

He won’t appeal

freexpression.bsky.social•43 days ago

I get that. For the same reason that a sitting president can’t be charged, it would take their attention from the important job they have

annegolden.bsky.social•43 days ago

Considering how much time FOTUS spent on the golf course during his first term, and how much he’s likely to spend golfing during the second, it wouldn’t be a serious problem for him.
