With President-elect Donald J. Trump’s sentencing on hold, his lawyers are pushing to dismiss the case. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, is opposing the effort.
i really hope you’re wrong about that second part. keep in mind this is probably like 50% cope on my end, so take it with a grain of salt. but i do hope that jd vance’s sheer unpopularity will make that hard. it seemed like everybody hated him going into the election, and they were voting only for trump. so if trump gets martyred, i could see the party fracturing, with many people unwilling to blindly follow vance in the same way they followed trump.
Bush was bad enough with his drink-driving conviction. Trump’s sentencing would confirm his conviction and actually mean he can’t enter many countries, including even Canada.
Trump will be able to enter Canada just like Bush was. There’s paperwork to fill, the process is available to anyone from the USA with a criminal record and that wants to visit Canada, the paperwork was filed every time Bush visited, the border service agency just needs to approve the visit (which they’ll do for Trump).
I support this. If he somehow survives another 4 years, throw him in jail after where he belongs
Why? Put him in jail before January so he spends 4 years as a jailed president
I mean why not? Throw him in jail, invoke the 25th, 2nd term cancelled!
this is how we end up with a jd vance presidency. i’m honestly not sure if that’s worse
That’ll happen regardless. They’ll martyr Trump before midterms and use that as a reason to declare martial law and cancel elections.

I’m not so sure. I think their allegiance to the party trumps (lol) their sanity in voting for a non-republicab. I mean, look how we got 45 as 47.
Practicality beats purity, sadly.
This is how the resistance fights!!! \s

… which I would love to see, to be clear.

Seriously? Do you really think this country will ever apply the law to a rich R? I’ve got some bridges to sell you pal.
Yeah - we should just let them preemptively get away with it since they’re probably going to get away with it anyway…
If only we’d had 4 years in which to act.
I said I support it, don’t you? I believe it is unlikely, but fuck Trump. Roll over and die if you want
It sucks but this is the realistically the only way he’ll ever see justice, assuming there’s courts in 4 years.
