Love how Judge Merchan pointed out that the legal protections are afforded to the "Office" of the president of the United States, not the occupant of the office.
Careful what you wish for Donnie. Based on Smartmatic lawsuit, he was talking about voting machine manipulation (4) yrs. ago.
I forgot who it was but some woman voted not to convict him during the first impeachment because she said she "thinks he's learned his lesson"..... He will never learn.
We knew already that he was a convicted felon. The question is: does the "punishment" fit the crime? I think not. This brings the justice system into disrepute.
Even though we knew something like this was coming it just feels like what it is. Not enough. Not nearly enough. Not even a fine! Only another black mark on his abysmal record.
He will be laughing for the next 4 years!☹️
While I’m sorry real full justice wasn’t served I am happy he is an official felon. He deserves so much more but this is something he can’t ever remove.
THATS who it was. I didn't remember who it was but I just replied about when she said she wasn't going to vote to convict him during the first impeachment because she says he's learned his lesson 🤬
Not half. Half the voters care more about the cost of eggs and believed him when he said he’d bring it down. Higher than ever and he’s not going to do anything about it. The grift is on.
The people specifically mentioned in the Constitution to address that issue failed to do their jobs, not once, but twice. Sadly, the people whose job it is to make sure Congress does its job, failed to do theirs as well ... not once, not dozens, but uncounted times over the course of many decades.
That Trump was elected shows 49.5 % of electorate couldn't care less about democracy or the rule of law. I wretch when i hear the phrase "this is not who we are". Indeed this IS who 50% of us are. Deal with it accordingly.
Is it just me, or does that particular photo of Mel, appear to look like she’s aged a lot? She looks real bad. Like her face is falling, her hair is thinning and looks like shit. Any bets on how he’ll be looking for a younger First Lady soon? It’s as if she’s deteriorating before our eyes. WTF?
No I saw them. Especially Looney Laura Loomer. But Mel is still hanging in, apparently.That must be a really deplorable & depressing life to live. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving hanger on like Melania. I hope her life becomes more miserable as our may become the next 4 years!🤮 Money can’t buy ❤️
"...criminal conduct, premediated & continuous deception...10 contempt violations, caused enduring damage, threatened prosecutors, showed no remorse...disdain for the rule of law...sees himself above the law...and did not adhere to his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the U.S. Constitution..."
Message to Donald Trump: We know exactly what to do with our water. Just like we know exactly what to do with your stupid threats to make us the 51st State. 🇨🇦
What is left of the constitution in America? How can he still become president? It should be impossible, or am I wrong? Sorry I'm from Holland, not in full detail aware of these laws.
But doesn't the constitution have FAIL SAFES, like it's only possible to do 1 term. No convicted people can run for president?
Isn't this implemented in the constitution?
Founding fathers, look at the law today, and justice was served?
And then? He still becomes President not? OR is NOW finally "the land of the free" going to hit the streets and demand justice? ow wait justice was served?
He said he intends to appeal. I honestly hope he gets focused and caught up in the appeals process, as it will give him less time to focus on anything else. He isn’t very good at thinking about more than one thing at a time, as evidenced by his rants.
A nation of laws that are only applied to the serfs. All that we were taught about equality and character has been thrown into the dumpster for what? A group of men with an insatiable desire for more. Not a better more equal and just society, no, just more for them. This is a sickness.
He will take pride in this tho. Not sure it’s an embarrassment to him. He seems to thrive on being “unique”. Sane people would never allow themselves to be portrayed in this light. But again, sane people…
Hoping that the red ¨F¨ for ¨Felon¨ he now must publicly wear will hinder him in his attempts to cause harm is probably the best we can hope for from this decision.
Whilst most of us understand that present circumstances have made an actual prison sentence realistically impossible, the slap on the wrist that was administered is little comfort to the rest of us who will be targets of his dementia in one way or another.
Yes, with some. Not the outer-space, lasers, 5G, anti-vax, Christian Nationalist, conspiracy theorists.
My MAGA friends though, We agree on some things, like DACA (make them all citizens) and student debt (make it 0%), and that healthcare insurance is a crime
I'm going to drive down to the prison and ask all the guys who were charged with 34 felonies if they're okay with walking free, but they'll have to live with someone writing felon on a piece of paper.
yet he gets to be president and we all suffer from what we know is coming at us…we gotta get very angry and show it and we need great numbers on our side..but it just might stop him from totally destroying us
He should have gotten time. Everyone deserves the same as Trump. To give people facing sentences the options Trump has, N.Y. should pass the Ending Mandatory Minimums Act. This legislation would not take prison off the table for offenses that require it; mandate it. https://www.vera.org/news/the-dou...
Add impeachment and that he never got a nobel peace prize. All of it bothers him. I hear all of the house republicans are supposedly writing and submitting recommendations for trump to get the peace prize. Not sure how true that is but wouldn't put it passed them or him.
He is hereby sentenced to live out his life knowing that in every history book from now on the details of his criminal acts will be spelled out in black and white for all to see. Accounts will be complete with what most people felt about him and nearly all will be very negative. FOREVER DFT FOREVER
I don't consider "Good luck in your new job" how much of a sentence. He could have given him supervised release, community service, or at the very least, a fine.
I had thought the should have been given a fine. He has the means and it would be a bit more.
some else remarked that he has little to no reason to appeal. There are no consequences. For anyone else courts, the appeal would come back, WTF are you waisting you time? There's no consequences.
The Problem is all the 'Fines' Pedo-Shitler ever faces wind up getting paid by his inbred illiterate base, money he stole from us, or Putin just shoring up his investment,.. it never impacts HIM at all.
He’s a felon yes he is,
Convicted felon yes he is,
The Lying King is a felon,
If you voted for him you’re a stupid melon.
He broke the law, and the law won,
We point it out, and it sure is fun!
Jail is were he should be,
That’s were it would be
If it was you or me!

That is precisely why the sentencing was needed. Trump can inveigh against “witch trials”and “how unfair” he was treated. The fact, a jury of his peers saw through his BS. He is forever a felon. And, no, Susan Collins he didn’t learn his now or on his first impeachment. He is a selfish boy.

Someone needs to arrange for “FELON 47” billboards and signs to be everywhere in DC for the next four years (or however long we last).
I don't watch MAGA news, but I would have loved to see how they spin Donnie's ambitions to seize other countries. I don't remember him talking about this during his campaign. It was all about inflation, the deficit, and immigration. Is it all a distraction since he failed to do this?
Trump being the only convicted felon President isn't quite the jab we think it is. It actually seems more encouraging for future scum to run for President. It sets an awful precedence.
Now everyone will think they can use campaign money to pay a hooker and hide it to help their presidential campaign and get away with it. This is dangerous precedent.
However, [Merchan] told Trump, the same could not be said about the circumstances surrounding the president-elect's sentencing... Merchan said that [the light sentence] was the legal protections afforded to the office of the president that were extraordinary, "not the occupant of the office."
We haven't seen the last of SCOTUS yet! He'll appeal and SCOTUS will reverse the conviction alleging whatever they want: that Hope Hicks was Trump's property and couldn't say a word. And the orange jesus will never be retried.
I’m sorry, but to his followers, he proved us wrong again because he didn’t go to jail like they or we would have. Donny skates again. They don’t care that he’s convicted. Just that he’s free and headed to the White House.
Problem is, he’s a sociopath. He doesn’t care what we think of him. He just wants praise from his suck-ups.
Most people would have done serious introspection if they had done all of the horrible things he has. I doubt he has ever lost a second of sleep.
For all of us who are absolutely disgusted he got off, considering this does help. Because we all know it will. Hell be whining about his 'terrible experience' forever.
He will always be able to be the Victim, he got exactly what he wanted, he will keep fueling the unfairness of his life. Poor Criminal Rich Boy, boo who
As of today, the US criminal justice system has been proven to be a dangerous, wild animal.
It had always attacked it’s citizens, but was never so publicly cowed to a master as it was to Donald Trump.
Act accordingly.
We'd better believe they will be "convicting" whichever Democrat runs against him. The mainstream naiveté about just how bad it will get is mindblowing to me. Fucking plant crops in your back yard and polish up on bartering, and maybe learn how to make bathtub vodka. THAT's where we're going, fam.
It's not luck when you have a ton of epstein insider info and use the office of POTUS to gather dirt and intel on world leaders, justices, politicians, heads of church and state & 1%ers,... THAT is why Pedo-Shitler is teflon,.. not luck.
You give him all the credit, as if he were a mastermind. Fani Willis deciding to stay on his case instead of recusing herself was not his decision. Getting that young judge wasnt his doing either. He didn't blackmail Musk into supporting him. He didn't get shot in the head by the rooftop shooter.
He's a manipulative sociopath & 54% of US Adults are fucking morons so he gets away w/obvious shit.
The rooftop shooter was a paid false flag op.
Guy was supposed to just fire into the crowd and one of his shots nicked a pole/stage prop and Pedo-Shitler caught a micro sliver of debris in the ear.
He is mentally ill and there are too many ignorant Americans. But, where did you get those facts on the assassination attempt? The shooter agreed to be paid to be killed by a shot to the head? Who set it up? Fascinating conspiracy theory...😖
Also keep in mind that TRUMP IS ALSO a big fan of Vince McMahon of wrestling fame… the old hidden between the fingers razor ear slice with minimal damage but lots of blood.. the pain is a small price to pay
I fear we're mired in the present. History's "only" convicted felon-president as of this morning only means we've erased the ethical barrier from the future. Like so many of our guardrails, legal & historical precedent, the expectation that our leaders be if not innocent at least clearly shunned.
You mean Amy Commie Barrett, as the right wing now calls her? Nah. It doesn't take a spine to rule that a convicted felon should be sentenced. She's just a little less bad than the other four.
All nine of them voted to overturn the insurrection clause and let Trump run again. They're all spineless.
"The big grievance baby is never going to let it stop gnawing away at his insides."
NEITHER MUST WE. We need to call out every day that POS01135809 is a garbage sack of fat pig suet who is a bonafide genuine Grade-A criminal. We must never stop reminding our country of that fact.

Getting more and more ridiculous.
The USA has been fucked. Say it, don't pretend you got ANYTHING out of this deal.
He will be laughing for the next 4 years!☹️
Sadly MOST people don't vote (the true villains in this story).
Except we know that throughout history, the conquerors have always written history. There will be nothing written in history about his crimes at all.
Unless we do something. And we all know that we are doing nothing except complaining on social media.
He’s already had them hanging on him. Did you miss the pics last summer?
Isn't this implemented in the constitution?
Founding fathers, look at the law today, and justice was served?
Yeah we got m finally! What did you get?
He will never go to jail he will rape and pillage this country like it's his own piggy bank the the treasonous pedo loving Repuke party.
I just can't.
See Sen. Whitehouse. He’s on it. Relentless. Ethics
My MAGA friends though, We agree on some things, like DACA (make them all citizens) and student debt (make it 0%), and that healthcare insurance is a crime

Take your #Resistance to the streets, outside of our online echo chambers.

But you can become the fucking president.
in History
😆 🤣 😂

I'd have already been in prison.
If justice were truly a thing,
The sentence from Merchan should sting.
The felon would get
An ankle bracelet
And house arrest in the West Wing.

...But ofc still kinda of a downer, that this shitfucker McFelon will NEVER BE HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING.
As he said himself, sorta: I can shoot a rando human on streets, and get away with it.
It had always attacked it’s citizens, but was never so publicly cowed to a master as it was to Donald Trump.
Act accordingly.
I’m not feeling very funny these days.
Fuck him and any supporter he has. No exceptions.
MBM
