Delay, delay, delay.
Yeah he was convicted, but when it comes to actual punishment it is just more delays.
And pretty soon, there won't be a conviction. As written, the Supreme Court ruling invalidates some of the evidence that was used against him, which invalidates the conviction. The guy's going to get away with the whole god damned thing, and there's a very real chance he's going to get a 4 year victory lap as well.
May you find solace wherever you seek it, because we're all gonna need a lot of it pretty damn soon.
We'll be lucky if it's just 4 years now
I don't care how long it is. He is only the beginning. I am more worried about what comes next.
Well at least so far the Trump clones haven't been able to gain any meaningful support. Of course one could argue that's only because Trump himself is still hanging around, but it does show that for whatever reason others are having difficulty gathering and maintaining support using his tactics.
Yeah, Fascism isn't great at surviving long term, the problem is how much damage it can do while it is in control.
They value the in group more than being correct, so it's really hard for them to pass between leaders. Not to say it's impossible, but historically it hasn't worked well.
So how long before someone just shoots him?
Something something second amendment, right guys? Looking from the outside in it's so fun to be proven right, the second amendment is worth fuck dick and it's just a way for insecure people to feel like they've got big balls/ovaries by being able to own a gun.
Secret service makes that pretty hard
It is more than just a chance. The aggregate Vegas odds have a Joe Biden victory at +430. They literally think Donald Trump wins this election more than 4/5 of the time. We're completely fucked.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
They delayed releasing the decision long enough to ensure the lower court couldn't consider it while there was time. Everything the supreme Court has done is to Trumps benefit because they're true believers setting up a kingdom for him.
I'd say unbelievable but honestly this is just about as bad as I figured it would be when Trump won in 2016, so I beleive it.
When a game show host with a history of fraud and lying becomes president, it's not a good sign for the health of a democracy.
The judge agreed to TWO WEEKS in reporting I saw this morning. Now it's two months. SOMEBODY PLEASE hold this motherfucker accountable for his actions. Just once in his whole life.
One week too late, don't ruin 2 days in september.
