He hasn't texted me yet.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Sentencing is already scheduled for 7/11 (July).

Colour me surprised. Figured it would take a few days to schedule.

 

[DefaultOption]

Guilty on all 34 counts!!!

We should tell his supporters to google "Trump rule 34" to find out more.

 

[Ironbite4]

Can we ban DefaultOption? Now?

Paladin assured me that he wouldn't be convicted though.

 

[Axaday]

Is a month and a half before sentencing normal? I thought the sentence would come right away.

 

[Axaday]

There have been people who said they wouldn’t vote for him if he was convicted of a crime. I don’t know how many that will actually be, but it is at least one. He won’t be voting for himself.

When they put Cohen on trial for the same crime, he pleaded guilty August 21, 2018 and was sentenced December 12th. He got 3 years prison for 8 charges, which by my calculations means Trump should get 12 years, 9 months for 34.

Wow... the mouth on that one guy... in the pack of 20 protesting for trump. Hey, if that's an average distribution: then we really don't have to worry too much about violence, not enough of them in any one place.

Or they'll destroy loyal services and people because they were convenient and the whole lot of them are ******* idiots.

OK so at this point they know they're being mined by AI and they're just leaning into it. I would too.

 

[NovaSaber]

Even IGN had something to say.

And now we wait for the 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that says a convicted felon CAN hold the presidency.

 

[Ironbite4]

We don't need that though. Cause it's not in the Constitution.

Ironbite-you mook.

 

[Pale Rider]

Paladin depresses me.

 

[Axaday]

If he just gets a fine, he'll still get to vote for himself. In Florida you can start voting again after serving your sentence.

 

[Pocket]

Yeah, it'd be more like 9-0 unless one or two of them go rogue and try to legislate from the bench.

Legally he could. Logistically it'd be impossible to serve out his sentence and simultaneously fulfill his duties. So all it would take would be for Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment and the presidency passes to whoever he picks as his running mate next month.

I'd worry more about a ruling that says he's allowed to pardon himself.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

In Florida you can start voting again after serving your sentence.

In theory. But our government has been doing everything in its power to make it hard.

Trump is going to accidentally bring felon rights reform to Florida.

Someone with entirely too much money could do something hilarious and take out full page ads in the major newspapers with this rewritten so it's about Trump.
