“There’s no posse and there’s no retinue and there’s no family,” says Chris Hayes on Trump’s arraignment. “The guy is alone. He is solo rolling with the lawyers who hope his checks clear.”

Fucking traitor. Lock him the fuck up.
It’s never gonna happen. At most he’ll become bogged down in lawsuits and charges till he dies. But there’s no way they’ll ever allow a u.s president to set foot in jail
Hard disagree.
This stupid cuck is going to jail 100% if he does not win the next presidential election. Our legal system can be pretty fucked up sometimes but it’s not that fucked up, this guy literally tried to overthrow our democracy.
I’m not saying he’s not going to jail, but I am saying our system is absolutely fucked. This dude is free years after openly trying to overthrow our democratic processes. The most blatant example (Georgia) isn’t even one of the indictments he’s currently facing.
Yet.
I hate this word so much because his supporters used it ad nauseum.
But I’m okay with it just this one time.
Ahh, I wasn’t aware of that
I envy you.
I was told in my local pub yesterday that someone with a criminal record can still be president. But I’m British, and drink with people who chat shit. The landlord in said pub also said that Oceangate was eaten by a megalodon, and landlords like to chat shit.
Someone who is literally in jail can become President, technically. What the day-to-day reality of that would be, I’ve no clue. But it’s technically possible, and we’ve had people (most notably Eugene Debs) run from behind bars.
Can he pardon himself?
Theoretically, on the federal charges, but not any state charges (such as the ones expected to be brought in Georgia)
Of course, a self-pardon has never been tested, and while the composition of the Supreme Court should be favorable to him doing so, it’s not guaranteed that they would actually be on board. There would be a constitutional crisis if he tried to self-pardon, and the Supreme Court ruled that he could not (which could be nearly solved by impeachment of either the President or various Justices, but that will not happen under the present dysfunction of the Senate)
On the federal charges.
Yeah this was literally the conversation, with some speculation.
“it’s not that fucked up” - doubt.
All the legal analysis I read has suggested house arrest because of the secret service for life deal.
I hope he does real time but I’m not optimistic.
House arrest in Trump’s giant resort mansion.
It makes sense, but it’s more than a little unsatisfying.
Personally I’d love to see Trump in ADX Florence.
If he doesn’t win the next presidential election, he’ll go to jail… I’d say that’s REALLY fucked up bud.
I hope you’re wrong personally
Agreed the laptop should be plenty evidence how little they care
And the leaked call where they just used Ukraine to get more support? Actually disgusting
Lmao the sheer projection in bringing ukraine into this when Trump literally blackmailed them and broke the law to try to score political points. Straight up traitor
Not knowing the history of Nazi Ukraine is typical
Regurgitating Fox news talking points is also typical. Literally incapable of critical thinking.
They literally have Nazi factions lol
Ok Boris.
