Trump thread 2.0

Cheeto inciting political violence against President Biden.

He posted this video on Truth Social.

Check out this picture on the back of a pick up truck.

In any normal situation, this would be enough grounds for the person to at least get a police visit and a stern talking to. Honestly, I don't see why it wouldn't fall under the criminal code as uttering threats.

Of course with Trump, that is not gonna happen.

Truck guy might still get a visit from Secret Service. From previous Criminal Justice books I've read, they take those kinds of "jokes" seriously. Especially if there's any hint of criminality or mental health issues in the person's background.

You are being logical. His followers doesn't care, any attack of Trump is an attack of being American.

Just another example of his pyramid schemes grifting off of retarded people. Now poor Americans are dumping their life savings into these stocks as a way to support their saviour.
It's a shame their losses will just go into his pocket instead of where it's needed.

Is there a bet360 out there on the verdict of the Stormy Daniels/Cohen trial for Galumph?

About 50-50?

It's rigged and a disgrace ... blah blah blah.

Even I am surprised that there were 12 reasonably intelligent people in the US!

So this, effectively means, Trump has been found guilty of interfering with the election that he won! Can we please rescind his presidency?

So how long is this guy going to prison for? A single fraud case is worth 20-30 years.
25 of em = 400-600 years?

Cheeto can still for the U.S. presidency. Hmmm. According to CNN:

Can a convict run for president?

The US Constitution lays out just three requirements for presidential candidates. They must:

Be a natural born citizen.
Be at least 35 years old.
Have been a US resident for at least 14 years.

Trump meets all three requirements. There is, arguably, another criterion laid out in the 14th Amendment, where it states that no one who has previously taken an oath of office who engages in insurrection can be an officer of the US. But the US Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that Congress would have to pass a special law invoking this prohibition

The sentencing can be as wide as nothing, slap on the wrist to 4 years for every count found guilty. So it's really up to the judge but MOST people think he won't get a day in jail.

But this is wild! American political history in the making.

Sentencing is 4 days before the GOP convention so they'll be able to pick someone else

First time offenders (yeah I know) of this class of felony are unlikely to get prison time at all. If he doesn't go to prison it's not really a case of because of who he is, it's just that nobody goes to prison for these crimes. Usually it's community service, etc.

If he does get prison time THAT would be because of who he is. (Edit) I'll take this back, as sentencing will be based on the severity of the crime.

This doesn't change a thing unless he gets handed jail time is prevented from actually campaigning and running. His supporters aren't likely change tide and they'll just all claim it's a lib conspiracy. Nothing really changes.

You'd think because he's been threatened with being found in contempt of court, violating gag orders, and having a few dozen other criminal trials on the horizon, it MIGHT be a reasonable idea to give him a little bit more than nothing at all.
If sentencing can be left up to discretion, seems like some discretion should be used.

He won't get jail time, people are in lala land if they believe that.

Not only that, he'll appeal the conviction, and who knows what will happen with the appeal.

I can see a world where his appeal happens after the election (lets say he wins) and all could potentially go away.

We live in a two-tier legal system, what applies to you does not apply to them.

I am very pessimistic about the election's outlook, and I think what you have described above is precisely what's gonna happen.

The US media that I occasionally skim through -- NY Times, Washington Post, etc. -- seems to continually suggest that despite Trump's lead in various polls, the polling numbers do not necessarily reflect the true sentiments or outcome in November. As long as this happens or that condition is met, Biden would still have a good chance at getting re-elected, and so on and so forth. But I find all of those if's and but's to be pretty questionable. In particular, given how completely biased these US media had been (in favour of Biden) in the last election, I find it very difficult to believe much of their word whenever there is any subjective views or analysis involved.

When one hockey team is gooning it up, do you expect the referees to call a relatively even amount of penalties to both teams?

Serious question.

I get that some will vote in favour of policies that align with them...but I'm sure whoever the republican nominee is will have the same policies, so wouldn't you want someone else that's not a convicted fraudster + defamer and straight up liar?

Or do you think it's perfectly ok to lie and make up things because you yourself do it a lot, so it's no big deal.
