ex-President Trump

He is going to try to exploit the fact that the usa justice system is a rotton joke

ironic because it favours the wealthy so much but it is fertile ground

Saw someone mention commuting sentence with drug testing and check-ins and I think that would be both prudent and hilarious. Considering he's a massive addy head and all.

i just dont understand the idea that this would convince anyone towards trump that wasn't already voting that way. i mean im sure people are going to lie about how this one thing changed their views like half the people on this forum do on a regular basis. but if you are so far gone to think this is some kind of witch hunt rather than just eventually getting caught doing the countless crimes he's committed over his life you weren't pulling the blue lever if he had been acquitted anymore than you were pulling it if he were found guilty.

i can definitely buy that this would entrench his supporters. but they weren't getable anyway.

Trump looks exhausted to me. Seems like a stretch hes going to nimbly navigate this whole thing. He hasn't even put out any unhinged announcements since the convictions.

Slow pony rn

him having to wear a SCRAM bracelet and get drug tested would be hilarious.

What basis is there to hear an appeal?

Are you sure about that? It rather sounds like they do. I'm surprised that anyone with such a criminal conviction (related, after all, to campaign financing rules) is even eligible to run, but I suppose that's one of the various ways in which the Constitution, if it were a car, would fail the quality-control inspection.

This is a feature not a bug. The intent is to avoid instances like this where the general public could view this is a kangaroo court designed to suppress opposition

Many in the crypto twittersphere are hoping he gets jail time so he can win the election from a cell

I've seen several brand new tiktok accounts today claim that they weren't going to vote until this happened. Brand new accounts. Yeah we believe you.

Even better though were the ones that claimed this and you can literally scroll back and see maga crap in their previous videos.

This isn't winning people over. These people think pushing the Trump button harder is going to make more votes.

For the record, I don't think it should matter one way or the other if this helps Trump or hurts Trump in the election. If he's guilty, you convict him. That simple. This wasn't a mistake even if it were to help him. This is how it's supposed to work.

I can't imagine watching tiktok videos and then trying to determine which aren't legit and then scrolling back to see what their political views are. God bless you Gorgo.

Erry time I get a tiktok or YT video texted to me I just reply "hahaha" and then hope the person doesn't ask me about the video the next time I see them.

It’s so the crown can’t arrest the people they don’t want to run for office, which would then give the crown a method to disqualify anyone they didn’t want to run.

No

The funny thing about that « crooked judicial US system » is that its exact same system that help the US to have the world Reserve currency due to the respect of rule of law.
How ironic isn’t that those same Americans that benefits tremendously from that credible justice system is supposedly worth $h!t when they lose in court ….

so much this. i dont ever want to turn the volume on on my phone, let alone watch a stupid little video. plz for the love of god just send me an article to read instead.

i mean obviously trump is going to win by 50 trillion votes, but hunter is just gonna log in on election night and change the numbers. might as well stay home

lmao

If someone couldn't run because they had a criminal conviction it wouldn't have taken this long for a major politician to go through what trump has.

It seems insane to me to allow a judge and a jury determine our next president as opposed to voters, but call me an ol' fashion fan of democracy.

I know a lot of repub are pissed about this case and the conviction, but this isn't nearly as bad as the social media companies and the intelligence community getting together to squash the laptop story right before last election. Those cunning dems always have something up their sleeves right before an election to give them a bit of a boost.

Hardly, since the Constitution was drawn up in the absence of Crown rule.

Just because something provides some good doesn't mean everything it does is good. For example, if you are lost in the wilderness water really comes in handy, but during a hurricane more water rushing at you is bad.

Say what now Donny?

you just contradicted yourself within 2 sentences. you're right with the first one, this doesn't really do anything. he was prosecuted for criminal accusations, and convicted, and not because it has any bearing on him being president again. he isn't being precluded from running for president, the judge and jury have determined nothing of the sort. you're just mad because you think he should be above the law.

This does not make sense.

The US Constitution isn't democratic, it's oligarchic and was was always intended to be so. It simply never occurred to the patrician oligarchs who framed the Constitution that one of their number might be a convicted criminal (mainly because they made sure they controlled the courts by political appointment and election of judges and district attorneys, election of course relying on support by the right kind of people).

Thread ignoring the fact Trump raised $39 million in 10 HOURS (would have been more if his site didn't crash). 30% of which were first time donors. And a prominent lefty, Shaun Maguire (@shaunmmaguire) donated $300k.

Normal, well functioning humans can see this is blatant politicized lawfare. Only banana republics throw their political opponents, who are absolutely crushing the polls, in prison to stop them from winning. These are the death throes of a cornered animal. Our country is ran by pure evil. They hate all of us.

Only those blinded and coping from TDS think this court case will do anything good for the country and won't propel support for Trump to Reagan type levels.

wow a whole $300k from a guy so prominent that i've never heard of him

look him up and ofc he's a bay area venture capitalist
"lefty" lol
