On track for the funniest 2024 election possible:
- Trump gets arrested for life on state charges
- Trump runs for president from prison
- Biden dies
- Hillary comes back
- Trump wins again and governs from prison
Then she can blame her next loss on China and libs will believe every word
- Trump runs for president from prison
truly a modern Eugene V. Debs
the only good thing to come from this is that Debs has been mentioned multiple times of mainstream cable news today. lmao thanks trump!
I was thinking about it the other day, in the bizarre-o world that trump does see the inside of a prison cell, he'd be a rockstar behind bars and get special treatment. It'd be like the prison scene in goodfellas.
First person to serve as governor of NY and president simultaneously
Trump runs for president from prison Biden dies Hillary comes back Trump wins again and governs from prison
:debs: ♻️ :trump-moist:
least funny 2024 election:
-
trump gets put away for life
-
desantis pivots to running on freeing him
-
desantis is elected/seizes power
-
trump dies of "natural causes" shortly before he can be rescued
-
desantis leads a reign of terror and retribution for trumps death
-
there are t-shirt makers with google alerts for "trump mugshot" and "trump arrest" etc. just waiting to pounce
There's no way he won't use it as his official campaign photo. It's too easy.
it will be the right-wing's Guerrillero Heroico :joker-che:
Is this a Neera alt? Why is it getting up voted? Am I being psyop'd? This has absolutely nothing to do with trans rights or what the Biden admin wants
There's been a couple posts lately that really make me feel like the CIA is doing it's... routine maintenance of empire
Feels like somebody was copy/pasta'ing the shit I was reading on :reddit-logo: about how "Biden is the HaRm ReDuCtIoN" candidate.
Quietly jam through the restrict act should be on their agenda while peoples are distract from this
Never thought I'd read a comment like this from a username I have so much respect for. Biden/his admin does not give a SHIT about trans people. Does not give a SHIT about minorities. There are still kids in cages remember. Doubt if he gives a SHIT about US citizens who don't own capital. And you think hes playing 5d chess to help trans people. And hes doing it like THIS? The fuck.
I’m gonna die on the hill that some of the Dems are at least somewhat redeemable.
lol
for me the dems are the harm reduction candidate only because they're neck deep in slava ukraini
republicans don't feel like they're above burning a few bridges and thus may prove to be able to extricate themselves from eastern europe faster than the dems. once that happens i'd imagine they will fast track the taiwan bullshit and then :stonks-up: will well and truly be in the :cool-zone:
Somewhat Libby but there’s a nugget of truth. From the POV of the Dem leadership and their donor handlers, it’s a cynical PR move but some lower levels genuinely believe it.
Something we should still keep in mind is that Dems not being as monstrous as their buddies is exactly the point, whether or not certain people on the ground are well-intentioned. So when leftists say “both parties are exactly the same”, we come off as out of touch to people, especially those in groups vocally targeted by Republican ghouls. Systemic evil is hard to teach to people used to seeing the world through individual evil (hence “Putler”).
Something that’s been useful is playing off the assumption that Dems are “good guys” but pointing out that even in that case, they’re so ineffective they may as well not give a fuck (which is truth for Dems as a collective body, some individuals be damned).

E) God damn you Failing New York Crimes, hiding the STORY of the CENTURY behind a PAYWALL
A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to five people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.
An indictment will likely be announced in the coming days. By then, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will have asked Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment on charges that remain unknown for now.
Mr. Trump has for decades avoided criminal charges despite persistent scrutiny and repeated investigations, creating an aura of legal invincibility that the vote to indict now threatens to puncture.
His actions surrounding his 2020 electoral defeat are now the focus of a separate federal investigation, and a Georgia prosecutor is in the final stages of an investigation into Mr. Trump’s attempts to reverse the election results in that state.
But unlike the investigations that arose from his time in the White House, this case is built around a tawdry episode that predates Mr. Trump’s presidency. The reality star turned presidential candidate who shocked the political establishment by winning the White House now faces a reckoning for a hush money payment that buried a sex scandal in the final days of the 2016 campaign.
Mr. Trump has consistently denied all wrongdoing and attacked Mr. Bragg, a Democrat, accusing him of leading a politically motivated prosecution. He has also denied any affair with the porn star, Stormy Daniels, who had been looking to sell her story of a tryst with Mr. Trump during the campaign.
Here’s what else you need to know:
Mr. Bragg and his lawyers will likely attempt to negotiate Mr. Trump’s surrender. If he agrees, it will raise the prospect of a former president, with the Secret Service in tow, being photographed and fingerprinted in the bowels of a New York State courthouse. The prosecution’s star witness is Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former fixer who paid the $130,000 to keep Ms. Daniels quiet. Mr. Cohen has said that Mr. Trump directed him to buy Ms. Daniels’s silence, and that Mr. Trump and his family business, the Trump Organization, helped cover the whole thing up. The company’s internal records falsely identified the reimbursements as legal expenses, which helped conceal the purpose of the payments. Although the specific charges remain unknown, Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors have zeroed in on that hush money payment and the false records created by Mr. Trump’s company. A conviction is not a sure thing: An attempt to combine a charge relating to the false records with an election violation relating to the payment to Ms. Daniels would be based on a legal theory that has yet to be evaluated by judges, raising the possibility that a court could throw out or limit the charges. The vote to indict, the product of a nearly five-year investigation, kicks off a new and volatile phase in Mr. Trump’s post-presidential life as he makes a third run for the White House. And it could throw the race for the Republican nomination — which he leads in most polls — into uncharted territory. Mr. Bragg is the first prosecutor to lead an indictment of Mr. Trump. He is now likely to become a national figure enduring a harsh political spotlight.a nearly five-year investigation
Trump paid a sex worker. OMG the treason! :epsteingelion:
LMAO, right? It is fitting that a puritanical state would punish paying for sex work over punishing sexual assault
Even if he did pay the hush money bribe with campaign raised finances, this is the best they can get him on and not like motions hand everything.
Punishing anything else could be used to set a standard better than 'pay for sex with discretion'
I think there’s a difference between paying someone for sex and paying someone to pay another person to keep quiet and then have accountants lie about it in the books
How is this any different from Musk paying random women to keep quiet about getting pregnant?
It all depends on whether they can prove he did it with campaign funds. This is very similar to what took down John Edwards.
I don't see how it rises to a strong criminal case. Seems more like a personal thing. There's tons of things to get Trump on criminally, but it would implicate dems as well so they keep putting up these weak ass cases and keeping his name in the news.
And it could throw the race for the Republican nomination — which he leads in most polls — into uncharted territory.
Love when the NYT tries to pass wishful thinking at best as serious analysis
It’s completely unconnected to his powers as president, probably by design
Yeah, exactly. They're going after him for the one thing that wont backfire on any other ex-presidents.
Murica, baby! :amerikkka-clap:
presidential systems are so fucking stupid. going after presidents would compromise literally FIVE individuals; the future consequences would be them be more careful and delegating more powers to diffuse bodies like congress
but we can't even do that to make the proles think this is a functional democracy :miyazaki-laugh: everyone in US politics operates under some grand illusion they can all be president or that their president is an avatar of themselves or some shit. an unhinged politics results
Watch them quietly jam through the restrict act while people focus on this.
it's like that video from psychology class where the teacher tells you to focus on the basketball while people pass it back and forth and a guy in a gorilla suit walks through and nobody notices it.
30s here, and that video seemed like it was on its way out by the time I saw it in school (pretty early)
Okay what do we actually DO to stop RESTRICT which would both work and not be an adventurism
Maybe just :awn:, because I think we're gonna need it a lot in the coming months
They couldn’t get him or any republicans to serve meaningful time for the Jan 6 riots despite clear evidence they were all encouraging, but they got him for this lol.
But it won’t even matter because it’s not even equivalent to getting Al Capone on tax evasion. At best he’ll pay some pocket change of a million dollars, at worst he’ll serve 6 months in prisons, reduced to 2 months for good behavior, reduced to 5 days for snitching on everybody, reduced to immunity for some undisclosed deal.
Yeah. They clearly avoided going after anything remotely involving the criminal exercise of state power. The impunity of the presidency is not under any threat. That is a red line which will not be crossed.
do you think the chuds will see it that way though? just because it appears that way to us doesn't mean it will to q-pilled republican DAs.
reduced to 5 days for snitching on everybody,
I saw 4 eyes McGee making pruno in his jail cell Mr. CO
Thank you all for being a sea of sanity. The libs in my life are popping champagne over this shit.
I think I might envy them a little.
Well, the longest edging session came to an end, might as well become champagne liberal for a bit (until champagne runs out)
I'm sorry to report that all the champagne grapes have died due to climate change.
Dammit Connecticut, saving the grapes was the one cool thing you did and you cocked it up
These Thugs and Radical Left Monsters have just INDICATED the 45th President of the United States of America :cheeto-man:
Meanwhile...
Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda. :soros: :frothingfash:
Oh yeah, it's
Morbin'constitutional crisis timeAgain
I can't name any examples off-hand, but I doubt this is the first example of a state refusing extradition. We have seen a growing number of state laws passing recently where states will refuse to assist in out-of-state criminal investigations regarding abortion and transgender health care however, in addition to a growing number of fascist laws resembling the fugitive slave act. I expect this will continue to fracture the byzantine federated law enforcement apparatus.
pretty sure florida gonna have Berserkers and some local developed sort of VBIED , with rockmusic and middlifecrisies.
Always hilarious when CHUDs say (rightfully so) "Drain the swamp", but will claim that if you are a politician, you should be above the law.
Damn, ron's really jumping straight to "the jews are trying to kidnap the president"
FUCK, MY MONEY. $1000 ON THIS BET
The agreement was time in prison though, so he might wriggle his way out yet.
It just feels like cope to say so when I'm reading the indictment, but I believe you are right
He hasn't even been arrested yet and I feel like that's at best a 50% chance at this point. After arrest he would get out on bail, have an arraignment, maybe make a plea deal, maybe go to trial, get sentenced, have an appeal, and then maybe, maybe he'll do time but we're a long way from that happening
the number of steps before he can really go to prison encourages me. I just gotta make it to January 20, 2024
I doubt this particular charge would lead to prison time.
I'm glad the prediction market I generally use was/is going through some legal shit and never opened a "Trump indicted?" market.
That's fortunate. My bet wasn't through a market but someone I know
ah well nevertheless...... his court case drags on for like 15 years and he gets sentenced to 2 months unsupervised probation at the end.
So is this all going to just end up boiling down to him being issued a $10,000 fine that he won't pay? Or what's the outlook here?
Don't be silly, he'll pay it with an autographed Trump NFT and a gallon of horse cum (it's top quality horse cum, it has papers.)
An NFT of the video of the acquisition of the horse cum
He's just gonna get pardoned Nixon-style before anything interesting happens when Ron DePantshit wins.
I think that's the only way Hochul gets primaried, I have to imagine someone from the Manhattan DA's office at least asked the governor's office whether they would interfere before proceeding with the grand jury.
Shit, I didn't think of that. There's no way dems would make a (seemingly) big move like this if they thought anything would come of it. This is just grandstanding.
