What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Interesting bit of projection from the most Corrupt (& Incompetent) President in the history of the United States.

Kind of feeling that the quote of the Judge he posted makes the point against him. That the Jan6 insurrectionists were beholden to Trump himself and not to the United States. If they can prove that he knew he could weaponise that against the Capitol, that’s maybe a game over for him. If they can prove that intent.

While it does make a point against him, I think that, more importantly, it does demonstrate that the judge has a preconceived bias towards him which could bring into question the possibility of him not getting a fair trial.

If she said it.

Even the quote in itself states a lot of fact. Many of the attackers were plastered with "Trump" apparel, and had been egged on by the man himself to be there. The defendants that came before her likely had fanciful interpretations of US law to argue their right to violently assault a democratic legislature while it was in session (spoilers: there's no such right). And indeed, it is incredible to think that the man who clearly and publically ginned up those people into attacking the Capitol, never even faced to possibily of sanction for it up until now.

Anyone possessing functioning vision and moral compass would be hard pressed to not come to a similar conclusion. However, she is a judge, and judges must make their rulings within the framework of the law, and based on the evidence. She can't find him guilty simply because she doesn't like him, the prosecuction has a burden of evidence, and if he is found guilty (in a legal sense, because we all saw him do it on live TV) then her sentencing will also have to follow a strict set of guildlines.

I also get the feeling that any judge who isn't a dyed in the wool MAGA-sycophant would still be painted as "biased" as a way to try to derail the trial as long as possible.

If you were to try any high-profile U.S. politician, the point would be made that the trial is unfair due to potential or real leanings of the judge and the jury.

I would have thought that in any legal case, the judge and the jurors are supposed to leave aside their personal feelings and examine only the facts presented in the arguments when deliberating. Does this always happen? Almost certainly not, but this remains the best system we have until the point where we can all agree that AI would be better off making a verdict (although that would invariably raise questions about the political leanings of those programming it).

In Georgia, they let you tamper with witnesses...

Nah, fukc it. Let him sh!t the bed and suffer the consequences

He just can't help himself

Fake News CNN?

He's starting to slip with his insults. That is a really poor effort.

We should be grateful he didn’t call them big poopy pants.
