I couldn’t live with myself if didn’t commit to my sworn oath as a judge and sentence this swine as the law dictates!
We are in a moment in time where it’s going to take courage to stand up to this criminal autocrat!!!
Of course it was. We all knew that was going away. I frequent a lot of social media sites and folks posting “Lock Him Up “ Everybody was delusional. He will never see a day of prison. Merrick Garland and DOJ are failures.
Except that he is not a sitting president, wasn’t a sitting president when he was prosecuted, and not a sitting president when he committed the crimes.
This is democracy. Don’t blame Biden, maybe look in the mirror and go to these deep red areas and talk to those people. Blame them, he has only one vote. Blame the people you know voted for this. Until America deals with racism and sexism, it will never change.
Zoom out for the bigger picture. It’s not democracy, otherwise Biden & our elected officials wouldn’t have defied the Constitution by allowing trump to even run for a 2nd term. They also failed to oust Garland for someone who wouldn’t delay prosecution.
Trump is right about there being a two-tier justice system. Where the lie comes from is that he's not the victim of it, but instead, the beneficiary. As well as with any other rich fuck in this country, they get away with whatever they want. Nothing is illegal if your net worth is high enough!
At least now we can say without a doubt that rich yt men get away with whatever they want. I for one will use this example in any situation where they try to gaslight us otherwise…
While this may not be a big enough case for The Hague, this is one time where they should have started investigating or working in parallel. We could have avoided this whole dumpster fire
UPDATE: Prosecutors told the judge overseeing Trump's hush money trial to press pause on his sentencing to allow for more debate on the legal issues at play
Must be nice being orange. You can be as lawless as you want. It’s time for counter culture to rise. We need to get our power back. Only support local businesses, makers, and local farmers. Get a library card, they are in danger in many communities.
The way that the country has decided to protect this horrible white man from any consequences of his unethical and illegal behavior.. 🤨
clearly he IS above the law
Adjourned till when, he takes office and he wipes it clean off the record… smh. Our legal system are a bunch of cowards when it comes to actual criminals!
Well the lie we're taught (or used to be taught, I'd be surprised if it's taught in the last 20 years) in elementary school that in America, there is no King, all Americans are equal under the law. It's simply not true & the people in power aren't even pretending that it is.
"Sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted, so Merchan may decide to delay sentencing for four years or dismiss the case outright."
First off, Trump is not a sitting president. Second this is simply NOT TRUE. No law says so, despite the DOJ's opinion. And this is a STATE COURT, not federal.
We can not pretend that our system works any longer. We, the people, need to start building community and supporting each other. We must be everything Trump isn't: generous, honest, trustworthy, compassionate, kind, spiritual, loving, Just, selfless, etc. We got this!!

we literally all knew this was coming
What is it about?
The house is on fire and Biden’s frolicking in the jungle. Fuck him.

So they all obey in advance.

He is not a "convicted felon" under NY law until he is sentenced.
I wonder if the holdup is to delay that status?
If he is never sentenced, he is never a "felon" or "convicted"
clearly he IS above the law
Merchan has to decide between these two options
Trump is not a felon, convicted or otherwise
Maybe my Uncle was right about this all along about whether or not he’d serve time. To be mediocre and yt. 😑
*easily wriggles his way out*
"Ah, well nevertheless."

“Justice system” for who?
Just us - not them.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Just another day...
