  1. Oh we know sweetheart, that ship has already sailed.

    Worried about more pressing things right now, that’s nothing in comparison to whats looming in four months.

  2. Trump is going to steal this election through the severely compromised SCOTUS. Can nobody see the big picture? Trump and his MAGA confederates will challenge the 2024 election results and his SC will install him. SCOTUS has already overturned Roe Vs. Wade as well as The Chevron Doctrine. This is all in preparation for a Trump presidency.
    Step 1) Send his “poll watchers” to sow chaos and confusion at the polls, giving Trump his reason for challenging the election.
    Step 2) It WILL go to the blatantly corrupt supreme court and they will find a way to put him in the highest office in the land.
    Step 3) Media will sell whatever narrative reports that this is all nice and legal because reasons.
    Mr. Biden needs to do something to prevent this foregone conclusion from coming to bear and he has to do whatever needs to be done to prevent the installation of a dictator and do it before November, lest we lose our entire way of life to the whims of a bitter authoritarian huckster and dullard . I have never been more afraid for our country than I am today. You must see that it is by design that he was allowed to run at all. It was by design that voting is the ONLY option left to legally battle these cretins, racists and fascists. We are about to be steamrolled and then gaslit
    into accepting what the SCOTUS decrees, regardless of the number of votes.
    “Don’t worry about the votes. We’ve got enough votes.”, Trump has said on several occasions, and it doesn’t take a Sherlock Holmes to know these MAGA confederates are up to something. I just hope President Biden and the people he has around him can figure a way to keep Trump’s plan from fruition and keep the lunatic cult at bay. And I hope he does so quickly.

  3. >“The Court’s decision will be rendered off calendar on September 6, 2024, and the matter is adjourned to September 18, 2024 at 10:00 AM for the imposition of sentence, **if such is still necessary**, or other proceedings,”

    Hope people are ready to vote. Every other tool to hold Trump accountable is basically gone with SCOTUS’ ruling.

  4. These cases took too long to come to fruition.

  5. I don’t think most people understand the gravity of what the Supreme Court did.

  6. Oh hell no, we are not going to do this. Why don’t we just hand Trump the country and call him King since nobody is up to the task of holding him accountable

  7. maybe the crazy ass theory that his uncle got all of nikola tesla stuff was true and he using them to control this timeline to benefit him, someone please go to the trump tower and check the last floor.

  8. There’s no way they can not sentence him for this. Happened before the election.

    Much more pressing matters right now.

  9. The whole point of this delay is to assess whether or not Trump’s convictions fall within the SC’s recent ruling on Presidential immunity. They don’t, but it’s gonna be a dog-and-pony show nonetheless. I don’t know if this is a warning, per se, as it is a sign that an official decision is till up in the air.

  11. And that’s why MAGA loves him. He can literally kill people and get away with it. And they want to kill people. 

  12. Trump will never face the consequences of any of his actions, as we all predicted millions of times now.

    This country is fucked.

  13. Wait, he said that right after agreeing to extend the delay from 2 weeks to 10 weeks? ” I’m sorry sir, your dog may be dead. ^^BTW, ^^I ^^just ^^ran ^^over ^^your ^^dog. ”

    How long does it take to decide whether planning to pay hush money to porn star *before* being president, in order to influence election results, then paying that money and falsifying business records *do not constitute an official act?!?!*

  14. At this point I just hope Nikki from Operation Mindcrime shows up.

  15. I don’t see this as a warning and just the judge hedging his words. There are two general ways the hearing on trump’s motion can go. The judge can agree or disagree with it.If he disagrees and says the Supreme Court ruling has no effect on the evidence in the case, they go to sentencing while trump tries to appeal. If he agrees there is an issue, the conviction gets overturned and the DA gets another bite at the apple.

    This issue has not been heard so the judge cannot now say how it will go. He adds, if such is still necessary, because without it, it would look like he already knows how he is going to rule which would look prejudicial.

  16. Did anyone honestly think he would be accountable for anything? I’m not that gullible.

  17. A part of me feels the Supreme Court went as far as they did specifically to throw out this particular case. They feel it looks bad for the country, having an ex-POTUS be a convicted felon and felt this case was overreach. I truly believe they’re that spiteful.

    They don’t think Trump would actually be a Presidential disaster with these newly granted powers. They think we’re all obsessed. Because they watch Fox News. Fox News doesn’t show them the crazy stuff Trump does and says. They think it’s all made up or blown out of proportion.

  18. Jesus fuck, I am so tired of this absolute piece of shit getting off the hook on fucking every god damned thing. 

    So what? Now our only hope of not suffering more of his abuse is that enough states vote for Joe? This is just astounding.

    We are such a joke, man. This scumbag, rapist, crook has a really good shot at getting reelected because a significant number of Americans are either idiots or shitbags. Unbelievable.

  19. The Supreme Court is not done! They have to make sure that Trump wins even if he looses!

  22. How in the fucking world are covering up an affair, interfering with an election, and falsifying business records official acts?

  23. If the law changed after he was already convicted, why does it matter? I don’t think that all drug related charges were automatically nullified after it became legal in a lot of states.

  24. I had a friend literally say “This is just more bullshit and more reason to vote blue” like….. I admire your enthusiasm but we might be past that point. I’m going to vote, but I do not feel good about this country’s future

  25. … For a state crime that he committed before he was president?

  26. The hush money was paid BEFORE he became President. This was a payoff to keep her quiet. Sounds awfully personal in nature to me.

  27. Wow. So this entire Trump trial was a waste of time and energy to follow.  We could have just ignored all of it, Stormy Daniels braved death threats for nothing, Bragg might as well have thrown in the towel. There was no need for Trump’s lawyers to even try, he had this in the bag thanks to the SC. This sucks.

  29. Correct, but he wasn’t President YET when this occurred.

  31. How exactly would he have committed this crime as an official act prior to becoming president?

  32. Democracy dies and for whom ? A confident, tall, white, broad-shouldered narcissist, a failure who shits his pants, a coward who lies & rapes underage girls

  35. Let’s face it… It was going to be a slap on the wrist sentencing anyways. But just the fact that he’s able to have it thrown out and avoid the label of convicted felon is still ridiculous nonsense.

  37. Would somebody murder this bastard already! All the people that die everyday and this deush canoe keeps going down river!

  38. I will still vote for Biden but if people that have the power are unwilling to really fight this, then what can I do?

    I clearly remember right after the Debate, every single pundit, not 3 mins after the conclusion, already seemed to have well articulated thoughts on the debate, as if the responses were already scripted out.

    I can’t help but wonder if the whole thing was planned this way.

    I’m updating my passports for myself and my family.

  39. He paid before he was president this does not count in his immunity

  40. The documents case is based on events after he was President, which also shouldn’t be affected.

  41. How does presidential immunity protect a private citizen paying hush money to a woman and cooking his business books to hide the payoffs?

  42. I will never forgive the Supreme Court for what they have done this past 3 years. And for what they intend to do after the election to ensure a trump victory. We must win in every single swing state by record numbers. Make it so they cannot overturn the election.

    Time for every single person to take a giant leap into this fight. If you’re standing on the sidelines, get in and get involved. If you’re doing some things do more.

    Donate, to the races that will keep the senate and win the house. Time to grow a spine. End the doom n gloom right now. Volunteer. Knock on doors, make phone calls. Push back on the loser rhetoric. be vocal. Anyone says positive things about trump, have the guts to tell them trump is a conman who ran a fraudulent university and charity foundation shut down before he ever became president. He is a pig who has cheated on every single one of his many wives. He is an absolute fucking moron. He only cares about himself. He’s a narcissistic pathological liar. He’s in bed with Putin and all the right wing dictators. His perceived enemies are our Allie’s and half the American population. He is a traitor. He tried to overturn an election and I will vote against him and every single trump loyalist. It’s time to be confident It’s time to save the country.

  44. The Supreme Court planted a time bomb into our democracy. This won’t be over in 4 years. Every president going forward has that power, and eventually, they’ll use it.
