I said when they first charged him that if Trump spends even a single day in prison I will eat my own dick and I stand by it

Always correct

hey there is still new york sentencing.... not that I am holding my breath but you have a little bit before no jail time is confirmed.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but can they even sentence him to serve time after his term?

[-] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

I mean there is no rule saying that they could not sentence him to serve his entire term in a new york jail cell

[-] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 30 points 8 hours ago

The next four years are going to be wild. Trump will just do the evil illegal shit every president does but won't even try to sugar-coat it.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago

I wonder how many people he'll label as auntiefa and have US marshals assassinate leftists en masse :(

[-] tocopherol@hexbear.net 23 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

At least there will be pushback from average libs maybe, if Copmala won she would do the same things but we would be scolded for not "trusting the process" if we pointed it out.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

I'm hoping libs will join the left in the streets now, but I'm afraid they'll just pout about "tankies" and fantasize about Palestinians dying.

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 30 points 8 hours ago

raiden-source Prove you can't prosecute a sitting president!

made-it-the-fuck-up Proof is I made up the fucking rule!

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

No knock warrant etc

[-] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 26 points 8 hours ago

once mueller has released his dosier , trump will be finished.

[-] squid_slime@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

He's sure been sitting on it

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 77 points 9 hours ago

4 years of CNN edging their wieners over Jack Smith and the walls closing in poof up in smoke because he's king now. OH WELL

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 47 points 9 hours ago

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 86 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I would be much more impressed if they pulled the trigger on this shit and forced a crisis and a ruling. like, you can't prosecute a sitting president, but we're like 50 days out or whatever. freeze some assets, detain some people, revoke some passports.

I know libs are a joke and will bend over backwards to protect the norms that the fash will ignore when they take the helm, but all they earn is contempt with moves like this.

it would be funny if Trump came in and went after them all for treason or some crazy shit and appointed like Alex Jones or MTG as the high inQuisitor.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 40 points 9 hours ago

Alex Jones is sitting at his desk in a livestream. "Trump has appointed me High inQuisitor. The first thing I'm gonna do with my powers is start an investigation into the demoncrats and their spawn the reptilians who did Sandy Hook, killed kids, and made me look bad. Trumps gonna stop them. And I'm gonna help him do it."

There's a container on his desk and he pats the top of it. "Support the president and me by doing your part. You gotta buy this - the Official Licensed Alex Jones High InQ Protein Drinks. Every sip makes you stronger and healthier and defeats the power of evil..."

The next Knowledge Fight is gonna be a hard listen

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 49 points 9 hours ago

jfc, the way dems roll over isn't even funny anymore.

[-] landlords_morghulis@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

The whole point was trying to hurt his candidacy; now that's over...

[-] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago

Trump has already threatened his family. It's a privilege to fight for your ideals when you get to stay anonymous and not have your loved ones directly targeted by powerful people, you don't have to face the same kind of consequences. I can't really blame him for not wanting his wife and kids in immediate danger.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 38 points 8 hours ago

No. It is his privilege to abandon ideals at the whims of capital.

[-] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 1 points 7 hours ago

Would you put your children in front of a firing squad just to say "Well I at least stand firm in my ideals"?

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

I'm not a war crimes prosecutor? Pretty sure you're doing that by taking the job

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 21 points 6 hours ago

You are here presenting the situation as if it was a sudden development, rather than a known risk from the start. You are also presenting it as a definite certainty.
Neither of these presentations are correct.

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 17 points 7 hours ago

If he believed in his ideals he would've finished this months ago and actually arrested trump instead of using it as a campaign talking point then giving up

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Time it on the day of his withdrawal for maximum effect.

I will no longer be seeking reelection, which leaves me free to do what the QAnon people always wanted — military tribunal time! biden-rember

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 13 points 6 hours ago

My child is already in danger due to the dictatorship of capital. I don't get the luxury or privilege of making a minor work decision to save them.

[-] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago

You neatly sidestepped the question. Capitol puts everyone in danger, that isn't special. Would you do the special honors of placing your child in front of a firing squad if it meant you could say that you stood firm in your ideals?

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 20 points 7 hours ago

I can. Don't take on the gig of prosecuting a powerful politician who might become president if you aren't in a position where you're comfortable with having you and yours threatened. It's like the cop excuse of being in a "stressful situation". Don't take the job then!

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 18 points 7 hours ago

Charlie Brown could never have predicted that Lucy would pull away the football again this time

SHOW EM THAT BELLY

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 56 points 10 hours ago

Oh so I guess he didn't do anything wrong and the whole thing was a political witch hunt just like he said, huh? anya-heh

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 9 points 6 hours ago

Look I'm hesitant to hand it to the wet boy but

It's been nearly an entire decade of libs "ah well nevertheless"ing their way from attempted Trump sinking to attempted Trump sinking, whether through some Mueller shit, the Steele dossier, Russiagate, this NY case. Literally nonstop for ten fucking years

Does he deserve to see a cell? Absolutely

But it does look like a fucking witchhunt at times

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 36 points 9 hours ago

NEVER

THE

LESS

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 31 points 9 hours ago

what a gaggle of sniveling cowards lmao

[-] context@hexbear.net 67 points 10 hours ago

clearly the civil, respectable, mature response to a fascist winning an election and becoming an existential threat to all that is good in the world is to drop charges

[-] landlords_morghulis@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 8 hours ago

The Millenarian political system has to go back to study the runes and hydrate for a bit.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 42 points 10 hours ago

i-cant faster than I thought

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 27 points 9 hours ago

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 24 points 9 hours ago

The 'committee to manage the affairs of the capitalist class' indeed

[-] POKEMONGOTOTHEGULAG@hexbear.net 19 points 9 hours ago

Just wait until Lev Parnas goes on TV. It will change everything.

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 25 points 9 hours ago

I still don't know what a Lev Parnas is and I'm proud. I'm proud i don't know that

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 10 points 7 hours ago

I think Lev Parnas is the planet where Luke learns to be a jedi from Yoda?

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 3 points 6 hours ago

I think Lev Parnadas are a delicious Spanish meal

[-] Deadend@hexbear.net 22 points 10 hours ago

They should be speed running him to an electric chair (ungrounded Cybertruck)
