Judge Merchan: "Binding precedent does not provide that an individual, upon becoming President, can retroactively dismiss or vacate prior criminal acts nor does it grant blanket Presidential-elect immunity. This Court is therefore forbidden from recognizing either form of immunity."

How many convicted Felons receive no jail time?
🚬😎
* eg: SCOTUS
Big Whoop
A jury finds you guilty of 34 felonies; you get yourself elected president; the result is an unconditional discharge (no jail, no fine, no probation).
Gotta change the name of the country;
USA
Unlawful States of America😪
So let's go back to the 1800s and rename prisons appropriately as 'Poorhouses' since we seem to be reviving the Gilded Age.
I'm disgusted.
Just saying…
☹️😩🥲
Rally at DC to NOT certify Trump.
He is an adjudicated insurrectionist, by constitutional LAW ; isn't our Congress BOUND BY LAW to NOT certify Trump?
Will you share this? Will anyone report on this?

Like it never happened.
This is a farce.
[This is partly why the framework of making feelings equivalent to reality has been pushed so hard onto the Left. Discourages the privileged middle class from risking anything & fools the working class into thinking they gained anything]
(Personally I would like him tossed in jail but this is better than nothing)
There is no country on the face of the earth that will bar a sitting U.S. president from entering.
It would be an international incident & they could lose American funding and ally protections/military & intel cooperation from our country.

An insurrectionist and traitor will be our next President.
Trump will go through four years with sentencing hanging over his head.
I think the judge was brilliant because Trump knows he will be sentenced the moment he is no longer president and that this is his last term.
They're all gaslighting you.
No jail time, no house arrest, no community service, no probation? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Rien de rien.
Juan Merchan is spitting on justice.
He is a fool, a coward, or both.
They're all too late.
Now the entire world will have to pay the price.
To the twatwaffle
That took over this country
And screw the party for which he stands
My nation
Says "Fuck you MAGA"
And you can go to hell for all time.
I wish the judge would consider the precept Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Justice should be served even if the heavens should fall.
Laws like money are based on public faith.
Good God! Can't we just invoke Article 14, Section 3? Get that out of the way, then toss his fat ass in jail? He's a disgrace to our so called "legal system".
Hugs
Was the word “This” italicized in the original?
I’m sick of people like him being above the law whilst everyone else has to follow it. Free Dumb!
No, he will not.
That was never going to happen. I tried to soften the blow, warning folks he would never go to jail, but no one wanted to hear me. 🤷♀️
Is it cynicism, or is it recognition that our system is grossly broken?
I like this for America
I like this for trump
Sadly, Judge Merchan has stated in docs trump most likely will pay little or no consequence as far as probation, parole, fines or incarceration.
拭目以待！
LOCK HIM UP 🇺🇸‼️
It surely isnt "liberty and justice for all"
merchang - an unexpected move that ends up lasting forever.
ex. "That judge really merchanged Trump!"
"Merchan wrote that a sentence of "unconditional discharge" - meaning no custody, monetary fine, or probation - would be "the most viable solution." - Reuters
🤬🤬🤬
