And once again he is never held accountable for anything. No wonder he thinks his lawlessness is acceptable.

Disgraceful

He’s gonna get sentenced posthumously at this point

mikegottschalk.bsky.social•98 days ago

i mean, he’ll probably have his last Big Mac before 2029, so what’s the point

a-kov.bsky.social•98 days ago

Next it will be overturned in the appeal process and the conviction will be dropped. 😡 I’d be willing to bet on that.

obama44ever.bsky.social•98 days ago

So in short, Trump got away with it. Like he gets away with everything. I feel like this is an unspoken quality that so many of his fans love about him, as if they're somehow living vicariously through and rooting for him to get away with it. It makes them happy.

queersailorscout.bsky.social•98 days ago

Cool that his plan to become president to avoid consequences worked I hate it here 😭

chrismontrose.bsky.social•98 days ago

Wrong. Mad as hell.

matthewizzohome.bsky.social•98 days ago

What’s the point in our judicial system anymore. We now have a King. The consequences are going to be terrifying.

justification.bsky.social•98 days ago

These judges really need to grow a pair.

mallwitt.bsky.social•98 days ago

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Like what? Trump could take the oath in the slammer, next up 25A.

What a shit show America voted for.

smurfwarsher.bsky.social•98 days ago

Welcome to America's "no two tier system of justice" where law enforcement and courts show no "fear of favor" to the rich and powerful.

SARCASMGASM.

cpdickenson.bsky.social•98 days ago

The only legal question is guilty or not guilty and that was decided. It stinks that an election win should place the winner above the law.

thorgi56.bsky.social•98 days ago

Article fails to mention the obvious; our legal system is FUBAR.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•98 days ago

From now on the Rich don't have to follow any laws. They can commit as many crimes as they want, against anyone they want.

Sp some people are above the law. Great

yuhsir2099.bsky.social•98 days ago

Wonder if white collar crimes increase or decrease under Trump.

The crimes probably increase but the amount of people prosecuted decreases.

Or change the law so the crime you are doing becomes legal.

crazyfingerz.bsky.social•98 days ago

I’m ashamed of this country and our inability to achieve justice.

cdgranholmjr.bsky.social•98 days ago

He really could shoot someone on 5th Ave in broad daylight and get away with it.

Spineless fucks

alexanderhay.bsky.social•98 days ago

I do suspect they all hope someone else will do the dirty work for them, but we've run out of someone elses.

beardedbetts.bsky.social•98 days ago

Why did they even bother if they aren't going to follow through, ya know? I expect Trump to play the system and try to worm his way out, but it's bonkers that the people who have a capacity to do their jobs legit, still aren't doing it. Just rolling over.

alexanderhay.bsky.social•98 days ago

Indeed, but that can also be leveled at Republican senators who could have impeached him, Democrat-appointed attorney generals who could have indicted him, a media that could have held him to account, federal authorities who could have arrested him, voters that could have turned out to vote...

beardedbetts.bsky.social•98 days ago

Oh 100%
It seems like the only people who want him to face consequences have no capability to do so. It's so baffling to see how we've ended up here. Cowardice on nearly every level.

amenic.bsky.social•98 days ago

Gotta hand it to Trump, he has really shown us which of our institutions have conviction and integrity and which do not.

docvalerie.bsky.social•98 days ago

Agree.. but i haven't seen any that have integrity, doyou have any in mind?

amenic.bsky.social•98 days ago

It's a very, very short list 😭

Good to know, I know the US Forest Service doesn't.

dadjoke8467.bsky.social•98 days ago

Yeah… none of them

amenic.bsky.social•98 days ago

Probably more like a short list of names vs entire institutions at this point

jackmcschmock.bsky.social•98 days ago

What's the point in tearing down a rule of law when it wasn't worth a damn to begin with?

najvn1.bsky.social•98 days ago

if they post pone is one thing, but to dismiss would be another crime!

mcbartold.bsky.social•96 days ago

Some law college 100 years from now will give their students an assignment on how to prosecute and convict a demigod.
Oh, wait...they did prosecute and convicted him.
SENTENCING????
HOW ABOUT.
4 YEARS PROBATION

coloirishmary.bsky.social•98 days ago

We all know he’s never going to be held accountable for any of the crimes he’s committed. A complete failure of our judicial system to help bring on a dictatorship.

funydiva.bsky.social•98 days ago

Hopefully this country will realize, you can be above the law, if you're the new, Teflon "Don"
✌️🇬🇧

jeffdudaphdco.bsky.social•98 days ago

Welp, there it is. Trump got away even with a state crime, too.

Thanks, justice system. Fucking cowards.

justdeirdre.bsky.social•98 days ago

ernestoquintanilha.bsky.social•98 days ago

But…but…no one is above the law. I’ve been hearing that shit for decades. Definitive that some are above the law.

ingsoc.bsky.social•98 days ago

Why is it so hard to just follow the law? No one should be above the law.

sirsaa.bsky.social•98 days ago

What’s wrong with US?

askgma.bsky.social•98 days ago

Unprecedented seems so very hard to do. Like breaking up with law books and traditional ineffective law practices.

ofthehillpeople.bsky.social•98 days ago

Just remember, he hasn't been SENTENCED, he was already found guilty. Don't let them forget.

withoutpause.bsky.social•98 days ago

He could have been sentenced and severed 6 months in jail, but the judge didn't want to get his hands dirty. Trump will find a way to get the sentencing tossed out along with his other trails and know he'll never be held accountable.

billyclub13.bsky.social•98 days ago

JFC. That two tiered justice system maga is always crying about exists, just not how they think it does. It helps people like trump, Gaetz, Hegseth, etc., others against them.

benasaurus-wrex.bsky.social•98 days ago

Sadly, he really is Teflon Don. He will never face consequences. He will go to his grave believing he was the greatest man to ever live. Loved by all.

The best course of action is to protect each other during the next 4 years and never allow someone like him to ever reach this level of power again.

djweiner.bsky.social•98 days ago

Can @marcelias.bsky.social or @barbmcquade.bsky.social explain this? He's already been convicted, and it's not a question of an official presidential act, so why can't he be sentenced and have it suspended until he is out of office?

fanhasbananas.bsky.social•98 days ago

I want to know why we can't just make him serve from prison. It would be cheaper to have him on lockdown instead of dragging secret service to every golf course known to man.

different-day.bsky.social•98 days ago

If you think that's bad, wait until he's "dictator from day one".

snoad44.bsky.social•98 days ago

Legal lies??

shadow27.bsky.social•98 days ago

Doing what's easy is rarely doing what's right.
It's unconscionable that a 32 time felon and adjudicated rapist is allowed to walk the streets, unpunished.

I wish bad things on everyone who allowed this happen.

dcenviro00.bsky.social•98 days ago

And run for and be sworn in as president

sookiegirl.bsky.social•95 days ago

And this is why the U.S. legislature needs to fix this problem. Convicted felons should be barred from running for president.

swiftnick.bsky.social•97 days ago

you should all learn to do as he says and not as he does....the laws of the land obviously don't apply to the elite..u know the elite he was meant to weed out of the so called swamp

Will he ever be held accountable?

515angel.bsky.social•98 days ago

Ridiculous. There are no heroes. From the day of the conviction I said this judge could save the USA. But no. And Again, he’s still on the list. He hasn’t saved himself either.

k-of-the-i.bsky.social•98 days ago

For fucks sake, just lock the criminal up already. Should have been done months ago.

After Trump bashed his family… judge should never be able to show his face again…

docvalerie.bsky.social•98 days ago

Oh, so NOW @npr.org is suddenly back to basic news, with no subtle framing, no asking questions, no pointing out how WEIRD this all is?

No getting opinions from experts saying this is unprecedented and a travesty of justice?
WHY NOT?

adamice9.bsky.social•98 days ago

The judge held Trump in contempt multiple times, and Trump repeatedly insulted the judge and his family. One jury indicted Trump and another convicted him. Can anyone point to one law that has prevented this judge from doing the job of sentencing Trump for the crimes he was convicted of?
