Donald J. Trump, the first U.S. president to become a felon, excoriated prosecutors and the judge in his criminal case and ran through a litany of false statements as he spoke to reporters and a small crowd of vetted supporters at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan.
It’s been reported that only 10% of felons are given jail time for similar convictions. You have to wonder if such remarks after his conviction, indicating he’s learned absolutely nothing, may lead a judge towards the harsher punishment.
Also, let’s take a moment to applaud Alvin L. Bragg.
Bragg should get a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts.
I remember when we thought we were going to make statues of Robert Mueller on Capitol Hill because we once thought he was brave for taking on Trump.
Let’s maybe wait to see if Trump actually gets sentenced with an appropriate punishment first before jumping the gun with Bragg.
When the time is right, I’d suggest we rename fort liberty after him.
New fort same as the old fort. I like the cut of your jib cully.
The democrats are such goddamn pussies. They need to wake up and fight the fascism before their Inaction destroys this country.
I hate the rhetoric that we can’t do anything because it would make Trump a martyr.
So it’s either let him do whatever he wants or he’s a martyr. I don’t know why they see this as a lose lose situation. Hold the fucker accountable for his actions or he’ll keep doing shitty things. It’s their fault that it’s gone on as long as it has.
If anything you would expect someone who was trying to get elected (when the crimes were committed) to be held to higher standards than most and to be dealt a harsher sentence.
Even if he’s just given probation, you can pretty much guarantee that he’ll violate the terms within minutes.
