Felon in chief
The Supreme Court didn’t help Donald Trump … this time. The court’s 5-4 decision Thursday to deny the president-elect’s last-minute effort to delay sentencing in his New York hush money case sets up a stunning moment – a Friday court date just 10 days before Trump is sworn in for a second term.
Judge Juan Merchan has already said he won’t impose a jail term. But the sentencing hearing will nevertheless mean that Trump will be the first president to take office with a criminal conviction written into his official record.
Isn’t that just fabulous? Behold: President Convicted Felon.
Behold the US, a failed state.
The proximity of the sentencing to Trump’s inauguration will create a stunning juxtaposition. He will be a defendant subject to the authority of a judge and a jury verdict who will within days assume the vast powers of the presidency and become the ultimate guardian of the nation’s laws and the Constitution.
Thus covering all of us in filth that we can’t get off.
How the fuck was that not 7-2? Also what law is there that a president can’t be sentenced for a non-federal crime?
Jesus…
Seriously. I don’t have the words for how disgusting this is.
The last two months have screamed GAME OVER to me.
