He already is a convicted felon!

attyjoyful.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already a convicted felon...but one who is unlikely to face any consequences for his crimes.

molly90274.bsky.social•196 days ago

A jury has already convicted Trump, so he was a convicted felon on Nov 5th and still is today.

befranktome.bsky.social•196 days ago

He's already a convicted felon. Just because he hasn't been sentenced yet doesn't change that. Sentence him and defer reporting to jail until he is out of office.

kathrose.bsky.social•196 days ago

Yes! Best answer!

libbylibrette.bsky.social•196 days ago

I just can’t believe he managed to slither out of everything.

nolatiger91.bsky.social•195 days ago

Ummm. He’s already a convicted felon? Wtf?

faragalli.com•195 days ago

Heinz 47 IS a convicted felon.

wayneslaven.bsky.social•196 days ago

Probation is 🐗💩.

pattys06.bsky.social•196 days ago

He’s a convicted felon now and we must keep calling him that!

mickeycur.bsky.social•196 days ago

The new Justice: Cohen goes to jail for committing a crime for Trump but Trump goes scot-free for that same crime.

jivekata.bsky.social•196 days ago

I guess it’s better than nothing. Sort of.

bumpkinhead.bsky.social•196 days ago

Trump should be sentenced to prison. Immediately.

bumpkinhead.bsky.social•196 days ago

He’s already a convicted felon. Period.

yep-she-said-that.bsky.social•196 days ago

Donald tRump IS a convicted felon. And a rapist.

notsotolerantleft.bsky.social•196 days ago

I say lock him up for a year. Yeah, there'd be a constitutional crisis, but maybe that's what we need right about now.

chrisjustice01.bsky.social•196 days ago

We need standards for the highest position in the Nation. Especially now that it includes immunity. The lack of standards is beyond belief.

ottonate.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already a convicted felon. The sentencing has nothing to do with the conviction.

spa-bsky.bsky.social•196 days ago

Works for me!

billywonka.bsky.social•196 days ago

He already is a convicted felon, I think he should sentence him NOW with the sentence to begin the day he's out of office.

lizzygusson.bsky.social•196 days ago

I second that! In fact… 🥂 to that

markm52.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is and will continue to be a convicted felon, but awaiting sentence. The problem is that people were not reminded enough during the campaign as to all that he was and continues to be.

lindaptruthmatters.bsky.social•196 days ago

I still don't understand why he can't go to prison.

dissentinator.bsky.social•196 days ago

The Ankle Monitor Presidency would be perfect…

scottdaniel.bsky.social•196 days ago

Even without sentencing he is a convicted felon

tonykost.bsky.social•196 days ago

Give him time, and suspend his sentence, pending good behavior

vetsrights.bsky.social•196 days ago

Or a suspended jail sentence, which can be imposed if he screws up and after his term is over.

mavibluecatte.bsky.social•196 days ago

he's a convicted felon the day he was found guilty, guy. dont fuckin softball. he is a Felon, Period.

in reality they should just do a stay pending the day he leaves the white house to begin serving his term.

sfcbenny.bsky.social•196 days ago

He probably will not live thru to 2028 so another cowardly postponement will let him off the hook totally. Damn cowards in the legal system!

debhu.bsky.social•196 days ago

He's already a convicted felon

prsist.bsky.social•195 days ago

Negative David. Sentence Trump to four years in prison with an incarceration date of January 21, 2025.

oldgasyman.bsky.social•196 days ago

It was bizarre over the last year watching CNN GOP guests say constantly "his character doesn't matter". The character of the President of the United States who makes all the key decisions doesn't matter?

terrychristiani.bsky.social•196 days ago

Whether the case is finalized or not, the man is a convicted felon & adjudicated rapist who owes hundreds of millions of dollars to ppl who have successfully sued him in court. No reason to surrender the option to jail him for his crimes but every reason to bring up the convictions in every article.

partzpap.bsky.social•196 days ago

This ruining is a total disgrace to our justice system. Donald Trump is gonna get away with everything that he’s done wrong and nobody in this country is gonna stop him and I don’t understand why. Our justice system is broken and letting him go is only breaking it morebecause he’s gonna do it again.

tempjohnny.bsky.social•196 days ago

Yes, well, judge is likely concerned that he (and his daughter, and the prosecutors, and the jury) will spend the rest of his days at Guantanamo.

ko2011.bsky.social•196 days ago

House arrest. Stuck in the White House.

brucetomaso.bsky.social•196 days ago

And that would make a difference how?

sageboomer.bsky.social•196 days ago

As long as terms of the probation contain verbiage that would financially punish trump for any violation of previous gag orders. $100,000 per occurrence and last until he is out of the White House with NO appeal of those fines. AND a resumption of the trial to determine if incarceration is required.

dansipko.bsky.social•196 days ago

Great, now he has his reason for never leaving office while he's alive.

barak-har-elkin.bsky.social•196 days ago

He's still a convicted felon, regardless of the sentencing.

dr-phibes1.bsky.social•196 days ago

Are you unaware that sentencing has nothing to do with whether he is a convicted felon? Journalists should be required to take an exam on basic facts like this.

javiermt.bsky.social•196 days ago

... Merrick Garland has shown he doesn't have the balls to follow up on his words, "Mr. No One Is Above The LAW." ...

classicalradical.bsky.social•196 days ago

That would be preferable. That said, will the judge have the guts to defy Trump, given that he'll be in control of the IRS and Justice Department in a few months?

kathmandu513.gobirds.online•196 days ago

Probation and several hundred hours of community service. Have him pick up trash.

nh-nancy33.bsky.social•196 days ago

Best suggestion yet!

nouslogos.bsky.social•196 days ago

justice deferred....

liam-hughes.bsky.social•196 days ago

Don’t bend the knee.

liam-hughes.bsky.social•196 days ago

The judge should sentence him to prison.

namastaymasked.bsky.social•196 days ago

The damage will already be done by then. Doing thiel, Putin, et al will allow him to "serve" much past 6 months anyway.

haraldburns53.bsky.social•196 days ago

Trumps already Guilty of 34 Counts. Even as Not my President... I've never Recognized Trump a President. So he should be Limited to where he can Travel? Now that the Election is Supposedly Over 🤔.

bbgfavor.bsky.social•196 days ago

That requires courage.

annies375.bsky.social•195 days ago

He already is a convicted felon but the cultists don’t care.

dionysia7.bsky.social•196 days ago

For real. It’s all so absurd. Disappointed in Marchan.

theviceroyofco.bsky.social•196 days ago

He IS a convicted felon.
Sentencing is irrelevant.
Aren't you supposed to be smart or something?
JFC 🤦🏻‍♂️

wisegirl2.bsky.social•196 days ago

He’s already a convicted felon is he not? 🙄😒🧐

christinepriester.bsky.social•196 days ago

The thing that is most infuriating is that he blatantly commits crimes in front of our faces and he just gets away with it.

kimoco.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already a convicted felon

lmplusg.bsky.social•196 days ago

He can give him a custodial sentence but stay it while he is president.

liberal-g.bsky.social•196 days ago

Cowards!!!! give us autocracy

rpwpb.bsky.social•196 days ago

I’d like to see a sentencing, deferred until Jan. 21, 2029. Leave something hanging over his head.

lembrando.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already a convicted felon. Being sentenced or not does not change that.

blackbelt010.bsky.social•195 days ago

🚨Evil man with Evil intentions.
We know he's stupid, and lazy. But He has gone Rogue.
🚨 Extreme danger to America's National Security.

ilmcvldisobedience.bsky.social•196 days ago

Why the hell delay the sentencing? He’s convicted and will use delay tactics to appeal. Sentence that criminal sack of excrement and let’s move forward.

Anyone have a list of countries that don’t allow convicted felons to visit?

mikebattuello.bsky.social•196 days ago

News flash … he is a convicted felon now. Sentencing has no bearing on his current status.

insidej0b.bsky.social•196 days ago

He's already a convicted felon. Doesn't need to be sentenced to be convicted.

solmidog.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already convicted
Just not sentenced

rumpolebayou.bsky.social•196 days ago

Jail him & let the courts try to figure it out

I’m not familiar with a writ of habeas corpus ad presidentium

emilylevine56.bsky.social•196 days ago

He already is a convicted felon. Just not sentenced.

hazeleyes14.bsky.social•196 days ago

You are so right! I hope that the judge is considering this. That would be at least some kind of win!

cleza2.bsky.social•196 days ago

Trump is a convicted felon since he was found guilty ! He just can’t file any appeals till he is sentenced! He forgot that part! He’s a Felon Dictator! Our first!

aftertherose.bsky.social•196 days ago

How in the hell is this guy getting away with his crimes. He should be in a concrete cell right now! Put him in jail and make him pay as he has said he wants criminals to pay for their crimes, so should he be put in that category!!

cleza2.bsky.social•195 days ago

You know how we went after dictators… and their followers in command … how Israel is doing that with Hamas … well if our fellow Allie’s can’t trust Trump as a dictator… handing over Ukraine lets say …well.

lisar92.bsky.social•196 days ago

And what a great felon president he will be.

plugrocks.bsky.social•195 days ago

Fine sentence the MF to a month and call it a day.

margaretgodman.bsky.social•196 days ago

He’s already a convicted felon; it’s just that about 1/2 the country doesn’t believe him because they think he cares about them.

jackpindervo.bsky.social•196 days ago

Ridiculous.

bbrigade.bsky.social•196 days ago

I can live with that. We all know he's not going to prison.

foxy99.bsky.social•196 days ago

The election is over. He won. It can’t be argued this is election interference. There’s no need to postpone anything here.

buddhaofnazareth.bsky.social•196 days ago

Why not sentence him like he would sentence any one of us but delay the incarceration till he’s out of the WH?

childlessdiglady.bsky.social•196 days ago

momoftwo.bsky.social•196 days ago

European countries have no problem actually jailing their leaders when they commit crimes. Why can't the US do the same? Probation? Really?

bluetweety23.bsky.social•196 days ago

Lmao he was already convicted. His “felon” status does not depend on a sentence. He’s already a felon 😎

alwaysrecovering.bsky.social•196 days ago

So it’s all about the label.

jasmh.bsky.social•195 days ago

He should have been sentenced within two weeks if the verdict. I do not understand everyone tip toeing around the orange clown. All Americans are supposed to be equal. Obviously we are not!

theviolenceoftruth.bsky.social•196 days ago

JD Vance can be president while Donald serves his jail sentence and if Don the con gets out in time, he can ask JD to step down back to VP. Same exact thing as if Don were getting a colonoscopy, just a bit longer.

emtrrt-cat.bsky.social•196 days ago

He’s already been convicted

debscheetzam.bsky.social•196 days ago

He’s already convicted.🤷‍♀️

canisagitatus.bsky.social•196 days ago

He already is a convicted felon.

likelygoingtohell.bsky.social•196 days ago

He already is a convicted felon. The judge should set his sentencing for February 1, 2029.

englishgeoff.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already convicted.

bamage.bsky.social•196 days ago

By "probation" do you mean 4+ years in state prison?

colleenshelley.bsky.social•196 days ago

Democratic Party is the Party of Cowardly Lions if they only had some courage...

jacksprat39.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already convicted by a jury of his peers. The sentencing is the punishment phase for his lifetime of crime. He will always and forever be branded ...

johnshirley2024.bsky.social•196 days ago

Trump is without precedent. The American people -- at least 52% of voters--do not care if he's a felon. They only care that he will supposedly help them pay less for beer, Oreos, and gasoline, and he will keep the brown people from moving in. We're going to get what we, as a nation, deserve.

atticusdad.bsky.social•196 days ago

Drumpf has 50% of votes cast.

johnshirley2024.bsky.social•196 days ago

I heard 52 but...doesn't matter I guess.

Unless the Russians DID hack some election processes. Georgia caught them trying to do it early on, and stopped them. But maybe they found another way.

jacksprat39.bsky.social•196 days ago

The fat fuck is under 50%, according to Cook's Report. California is still counting...

pavelpotocek.bsky.social•196 days ago

I think the conviction boosted Trump's polling slightly. So if anything, people _like_ the fact he is a felon.

Stick it to the libtards! Burn it all down! Drain the swamp!

theblackheathen.bsky.social•196 days ago

Our justice system is a joke

stabbybutcute.bsky.social•196 days ago

He should go to jail rn for contempt of court. He's got a few days until he apocalypses the world.

pjmacwriter.bsky.social•196 days ago

Agreed!!

pmb50.bsky.social•196 days ago

Yeah I’m sure that’s how the democrats will define him considering they refused to seize upon trumps felony convictions at all

djafrican.bsky.social•196 days ago

Or the judge could sentence him 1/21/2029

ajknight54.bsky.social•196 days ago

Good. Might keep him out of 🇨🇦. 🫤

1jb1.bsky.social•196 days ago

I believe he's already convicted, just not sentenced yet. Anyone else would be in jail right now.

claudetteb.bsky.social•196 days ago

He is already a convicted felon

andreajorg.bsky.social•196 days ago

I’d like to see him picking up trash on the side of the road with an orange vest over his suit.

pjemming.bsky.social•196 days ago

So long as it is in limbo the specifics of the case could never be released to the public. Maybe that is the reason to keep in open.

minimac-0508.bsky.social•196 days ago

Lock him up

romansmith.bsky.social•196 days ago

Or sentence him to prison, with a report date of Jan 20, 2029

termitebaby53.bsky.social•196 days ago

At the very least. He should have sentenced him before the election, as originally planned, and maybe we wouldn't be in this mess, and Trump would be in prison.

jgraham4.bsky.social•196 days ago

Postpone the sentencing until when? When hell freezes over?

jmcrookston.bsky.social•184 days ago

He has already been convicted of felonies. He is a convicted felon. He just has not been sentenced. Where are you getting your assertion from that he is not a convicted felon?

arthurfangule.bsky.social•196 days ago

Trump is already a convicted felon. Are you a legal expert?

elmjoe17.bsky.social•196 days ago

Agree

lynny49.bsky.social•196 days ago

So many countries he couldn’t then officially visit. Win-win.

ironstonebrit.bsky.social•196 days ago

Ha ha ha perfect. It’s about all that’s going to happen

bigpoison.bsky.social•196 days ago

gototown.bsky.social•196 days ago

I know it's sad but true. Ugh.

vizsladad.bsky.social•196 days ago

Sentence him to whatever time is appropriate and defer his report date to February 1, 2029.

maryhoenshell.bsky.social•196 days ago

No, his report date should be January 21, 2029. Why delay it?

spaceartal.bsky.social•196 days ago

At a minimum. Otherwise, the Rule of Law is a joke.

laurieshaven.bsky.social•196 days ago

How many countries don’t allow convicted felons to enter? Not that it matters. They’re going to suck up to him just like he wants them to.

patclark8645.bsky.social•196 days ago

Weekly meetings with the probation officer, passport surrender, and GPS ankle bracelet to be worn 24 hours a day. He should also be fitted with a pair of tiny handcuffs to be worn during working hours.

marvinlh.bsky.social•196 days ago

He already is a convicted felon

4freedomsforall.bsky.social•196 days ago

My understanding is that under NY law, he is now a convicted felon; that NY doesn’t require sentencing to finish the process.

True or false?

skyaboveus.bsky.social•196 days ago

What was the felony again?

dmokaren.bsky.social•195 days ago

Quit letting this guy slide.

joepd.bsky.social•196 days ago

This delay, this nonsense, this "special treatment" is really REALLY disrespectful to the poor jurors who had to experience disruption of their lives this summer, including the potential for physical threats. They were strong. The system is weak.

novafc.bsky.social•196 days ago

As it should

fivefingers.bsky.social•196 days ago

I agree, hopefully after he ensures that Trump has paid the fines imposed for things he did in court.

smithinhell.bsky.social•196 days ago

The judge should sentence Trump to a term of imprisonment and suspend the sentence for the term of Trump’s presidency,

stan219.bsky.social•196 days ago

He’s already convicted. But imagine a POTUS having to report to a Probation Officer.

dullswain.bsky.social•196 days ago

Yes! Absolutely!

spencelliot.bsky.social•195 days ago

Agreed. The conviction is more important than the jail time.

dkimmel.bsky.social•196 days ago

Probation and an ankle alarm.

pxllr.bsky.social•195 days ago

Trump already is a 34 count convicted felon. Sentence him already!

stardustgurl.bsky.social•196 days ago

He has been convicted.

dougdl.bsky.social•193 days ago

Technically, at least in New York, you have to be sentenced before you can be labeled a convicted felon

coachsandys.bsky.social•194 days ago

How about we make a pack to NEVER show his face on this site EVER....that would be so refreshing. Unless it is BEHIND bars.

thekohler.bsky.social•196 days ago

Or just hold jail over his head for four years. 🤷🏻‍♂️

thekohler.bsky.social•196 days ago

He's a convicted felon already.

rexroyal.bsky.social•196 days ago

point of personal privilege, all the trump hate is dangerous

ebmoloc.bsky.social•196 days ago

Postpone? Might as well throw it out.

lspogo.bsky.social•196 days ago

He's already a convicted felon. The criminal mf needs some actual punishment, such as PRISON TIME. In an actual prison, with no valet. Go to their fave whorehouse and round up some of these corrupt incompetent secret service agents and take away their cocaine and let them do the time with him.
