Four years ago?
I can’t tell the difference between his insane statements today, and his insane statements from 8+ years ago.
“They’re the same picture”
Four years ago he was a deranged fascist with limited mental faculties. I don’t think that dial has really moved.
Somehow he has actually gotten worse mentally
somehow? you mean like taking a very old demented person and adding four years?
Yup, that’ll do it
Somehow, Palpatine has got worse.
Dude is on so many drugs. It’s like that episode of Simpsons when mr burns sees the doctor and the doctor tries to push a bunch of plushies through the door
Indestructible…
He was only ever a shadow of what you thought he was, that’s been the whole point the entire time, you are chasing shadows
Now he’s less more like a lighting artifact that stupid people think is a UFO.
Don’t you think he looks tired?
One word. No, six. I could end your career in six words.
Thought at first your username said “Bannakaffalatta”
How come? He had a lot of sleep in NY.
It’s a Dr Who reference (which is itself a Thatcher reference)
He looks like he ought to shoot himself in the face.
Fat old convicted criminal looks tired.
More at 11.
A shadow of what he was 4 years ago?
So a steaming pile of shit is now… Like dried turd?
He looks like the Hamburglar chose the wrong grail.
Hamberdler
Convicted felon Trump?
Prisoner Elect.
Take it with a grain of salt since the description is coming from an MSNBC host.
But she’s right in that, when it comes to deciding sentencing, this will not do him any favors.
Maximum sentence is 4 years per count +$5,000 fine.
So he’ll likely get multiple 4 year sentences, served concurrently, and $5K x 34… $170,000 fine.
He’ll never see the inside of a cell. The legal system protects shit like him.
That’s expected when you live in a corporatocracy masquerading as a democracy.
They’re also a nonviolent class E felonies. I’d love to see him behind bars, but there’s no reason to expect a prison sentence. It’s possible, but not probable.
Pipe dreams. It’s extremely rare for prison sentences to be imposed for white collar, non-violent e felonies like this.
Merchan isn’t going to impose a shit load of time just because people want it- that would pretty quickly get over turned by higher courts.
Most likely the best we can hope for is house arrest; the only reason we have a hope of jail time at all is that trumps behavior during and leading up to the trial (inciting his mob to threaten violence, refusal to abide gag orders.)
In some regards the house arrest might be politically the best for Trump. He can still broadcast his stupidity.
A part of me hopes they fine him $130k. Fining him the exact amount he paid Stormy Daniels somehow feels like an even bigger “fuck you” than the maximum possible financial penalty.
An analysis I read said NY almost never imprisons a first time fraud offender. If true then it’s pretty unlikely he will be imprisoned at all.
Cohen was a first time offender and did 3 years for the same crime.
This is patently untruthful.
First, Cohen’s conviction was federal. Trumps are state.
Second. Trump is convicted of fraudulent business records. Cohen was convicted of lying to a financial institution, tax fraud, unlawful corpo contributions, and excessive campaign contributions. (Source)
On one hand you’re right about first time offenders, but on the other he’s made it clear monetary fines don’t dissuade him (e.g. the ten he got for his truth social attacks on the judge and co.) which could in turn influence the decision regarding jailtime.
That’s a good point.
On the other hand, the best lawyers money can buy.
That does not describe his lawyers…
It was just an assumption, he has money, lawyers are paid with money.
hes bad about following through with the last part, hence the dip in lawyer quality.
A trump does not simply pay his bills.
“Always has been”
And yet he’s still more likely to win than Biden.
That’s the power of cult of personality, and the weird idea of being dependant on a few “swing states”.
Hillary didn’t lose because of a cult of personality or a few swing states, she was just simply a shit candidate.
If you’re worried about losing to Trump, then get your own candidate that’s not senile.
Give me a fucking break. Hillary was not a shit candidate. She’s arguably the most qualified candidate in recent elections, probably more so than Obama. And I don’t say that as someone who agrees with most of her policies but as someone who respects her intelligence and experience. She would have made an excellent president.
Leaving aside our broken system, she lost because she is a woman and a lot of people can’t stand that.
It might not be fair to call her a shit candidate, on paper she was a very good candidate, but her personality and willingness to take Michigan and Wisconsin for granted doomed her.
Anyone else with her credentials could have won.
Likability has to be the most important characteristic to electability. JFK, Reagan, “I’d have a beer with Bush Jr.,” Obama, etc… It’s pretty much the “trump card” if you have it to any election; and Unlikability guarantees you’re doomed.
If we had someone half-ways likeable; half-ways young… Well, that would basically be a trump card, dare I say. Harris isn’t it.
Unlikability guarantees you’re doomed.
Uh Nixon? George HW Bush? Nobody actually liked them.
FDR was a spoiled rich kid who married his cousin and couldn’t even stand up on his own. He was elected 4 times because Hoover and the Republicans couldn’t fix the Great Depression. Don’t underestimate the power of one party fucking up their own chances.
