In a sane country it would have happened already. Just saying.
Yeah. 2028 election. The glacial pace of the justice system will be the ruin of Democracy.
Pure speculation. Clickbait.
My question is why do they think the trial will take so long once it’s commenced?
Wait, what happens if they do that now? Can the SCOTUS intervene and throw the case away if Tramp’s team appeals? Could he just be convicted after?
I’m so sick of hearing what may happen, so until something does, I will assume nothing is going to happen.
This is Trump’s dream scenario.
1) This would drive up GOP in-person voter turnout on Election Day (who generally vote in person instead of by mail)
2) If Trump wins the election, he can do an immediate self-pardon
And unfortunately, the founding fathers’ concept of American democracy dies at the same time
I’m thinking trump is the antichrist. Millions of Christians have been deceived. So trump wins in Nov. and we all have to get a trump tattoo to buy food.
I’ve given up hope at this point.
Stop. you’re making me warm inside.
There are 320 million people in this country and this is the only person the Republican Party can find to be their standard bearer. A twice impeached game show host held civilly liable for rape who is facing 91 felony counts.
Remember when people were having conniptions about nominating Hillary Clinton because of her emails? At least in February of 2016 we didn’t have a fucking schedule of when she might be _convicted_ right before the election.
I don’t know if it will be the determining factor.
This summer two Supreme Court cases are coming up. The abortion pill and the right of states to deny emergency life-saving abortions. We all know how both of those will go.
Republicans have lost every single fair election since Dobbs. Every. One. What happens when they say that the pill can be pulled for made up reasons and states can allow women to die for no good reason?
Voter suppression efforts will be in force. There will be armed poll watchers. And a republican House of Representatives. Shenanigans are GOING to happen.
Register. Register others. Volunteer. This is going to hurt. [vote.gov](https://vote.gov)
Never gonna happen and the orange C u n t will probably be president again the way shit is looking. Bat shit crazy ass country nowadays.
I think if a trial gets delayed it should still start and end before the election. There should be no leveraging the “justice department doesn’t do this sort of thing before an election” argument because this delay is solely of Trumps own making. Also, if this happens and he’s convicted he better go in handcuffs on camera.
Won’t happen; he will delay it until he can pardon himself.
Why do I get the feeling this is the year Civil War will erupt in the US?
And if that happens, a Russian attack on NATO will surely coincide. As will a Chinese attack on Taiwan.
Oh, we are so very fucked 🙂
unpopular opinion – there is ZERO chance Donald Trump will go to trial in ANY of his criminal cases before 1/20/25. When you have tens – hundred of millions to spend on good lawyers, you can delay any prosecution as long as you want. There is ALWAYS another interlocutory appeal or discovery dispute you can use to delay the proceedings.
And all the pundits like Popek and Opening Arguments, Talking Feds, Law and Chaos, Serious Trouble know this. They don’t acknowledge the situation because then nobody would download the next episode. They are stringing along progressives in the same way Alex Jones bullshits fascists.
Might. Might. Might. Might. I’m going insane.
I don’t understand how you can support a candidate UNTIL he’s convicted. The insurrection didn’t happen in the dead of night behind closed doors. It was fucking televised. Never mind all the bs that comes out of his mouth on a daily basis and the fact that he was, by all metrics, an ineffectual President who had no idea what he was doing.
Then he’ll be able to pardon himself when he’s elected either legally or illegally. He should have been locked up long before now
This election and the last has me wondering what the population of the US actually consisted of. What percentage of the population is actually able to think for themselves and use logic and reason? What percentage of the population is just fueled by hate and propaganda 100% of their lives?
This is coming from somebody who says Biden should be retired, home and Trump should be in prison. Our broken to party system is designed so that the public has the illusion of democracy.
Lol. you all forgot what timeline we are in. He will be convicted in the third or fourth week of Nov. After hes won. Then he will pardon himself and we will probably end up at war with Costa Rica or something equally stupid.
Lawyer here. Trump has a very good chance of getting convicted by the end of March. About 90% to be honest. I’ll bet my career over it.
The time for him to lose by conviction has long passed!
He must be beaten beyond shadow of doubt at ballot box!
There is no way around it! Stop fooling ya’lls selfs – you know the truth!
If Garland had just waited 18 months after Jan 6 to investigate it rather than two years, the nation would be saved from Trump. Instead we’re going to walk a razor’s edge to try to get a conviction in time… great work.
The Republicans won’t care. They will vote for him anyway. Saying it’s all political and Biden is jailing his rival and stealing the election. He will appeal and the judge won’t force him to sit in jail during that process. If he wins the election, he will pardon himself and then destroy the country. If he does not take power in January, Fox News, OANN and Newsmax will incite sedition and insurrection. I expect way more Republican violence than Jan 6th. They will not accept any loss.
Might. Could. Would. Should. Maybe. Believe. Possibly. Enough of this. The guy has already admitted it was an insurrection.
It’s staggering that he’s still walking free right now. Completely bullshit justice system.
i’d be satisfied with Trump being banned from race before election… his followers would probably be happier that way too… then they could feel important and do wahtever b izarre acts that the bible has in it, bath salts or whatever.
The only way out of this is to vote against him in overwhelming numbers. Especially in those purple battleground states. There can’t be any close calls, recounts,etc. And if you see any MAGA shitfuckery on election day, call it out.
Can we please outvote him into oblivion to make him irrelevant after this cycle. I’m getting tired of hearing about him.
Remember the moment Biden entered office, how your four years of endless stress finally melted away and you felt like you could focus far more lucidly on your own life again(besides dealing with covid, of course)? The idea that those days might be ending and this greasy, demented psychopath might be back at the helm of the most powerful nation on Earth by this time next year is starting to fucking stress me out again.
Can this rambling, spiteful, exhausting piece of shit just fuck off somewhere already? The day we’re all definitively free from the perpetual angst of his obnoxious, stifling presence will be a beautiful one. Naturally there will still be the looming threat of the rest of the fascist party to deal with, but that’s a fight for another day…
Trump is going to be spending so much time in court he will barely be able to campaign. Does he not care about his voters? All they want is to be coddled by him.
Democracy is at deaths door because we have a complicit party of traitors that have done everything in their power to keep this deplorable human being propped up. How in Gods name can this traitor dictator be eligible to vote with multiple ongoing felony trials from his last term? Trials he’s purposely delayed to try to run out democracy’s clock. Our government has turned into a corrupt rotting house of cards that will continue to lose legitimacy.
Look, anyone reading this, I know most of you are already more likely to vote than not, but please, go vote. If Trump does get elected, he will attempt to delay every charge until he can either presidential immunity his way out of them, or rearrange the federal government to give him double super deluxe presidential immunity that means states can’t arrest him either.
Don’t even let him get near those buttons. We have no idea if there’s enough of a safety lock on ANY OF THEM to prevent him from pressing the “Make me an eternal emperor with immunity to all law” button or to prevent him from making and pressing said button. And frankly, I don’t want to find out.
Look, Biden might not be your number one choice right now, but he’s the best chance we’ve got at maintaining baseline democracy right now. And maybe one beautiful day, we’ll be able to choose someone better. If trump gets into office again, we will never be able to choose “better” again. He’ll make himself president for life and will likely attempt to hand lifetime rule of the country to his kids North Korea style, and he’ll make absolutely sure he has the power to do all of that and kill his political opponents.
Don’t let him get near that desk again. If he does, we’re all fucked. Possibly forever.
