“Nobody is above the law.”
Lol
He shouldn’t have been allowed to run until all outstanding criminal litigation was completed, and any punishment served/paid.
That attitude was a big part of why Clinton lost in the first place.
Disagree, because it would be abused.
An accusation would all that was needed to take out political opponents.
That’s the shitty part. When it was “adults” it wouldn’t have been an issue, but since children where allowed to run the government it would now be weaponised, as you pointed out.
No, you see he was sentenced to unconditional discharge. TOTALLY different.
Got some weed? Be prepared to be SWATted and thrown in jail for years.
Did you just rape, stole, gave top secret material to our enemies and pushed for a coup? Slap on your wrist and pinky winky promise me not to do that again
You could also be killed for it, because the cops fucked up again and got the wrong house and went in guns blazing.
pinky winky promise me not to do that again
Best I can do is “no”.
Our justice system is a fucking sham.
Sounds about white
Sounds about orange*. I don’t think even your average white person is this well taken care of in the US court system
That’s rich

Should we have thrown the book at Hunter a bit?
As applicable for the crimes he’s committed yes. But he’s been pardoned now, so it’s moot
OK now that I’m bringing out the Hunter Biden’s laptop folks, I’m deleting the comment and posts, not just acknowledging my error. Dear god what have I summoned.
I wish he would try selling loose cigarettes on a NYC street. I hear you don’t even get a trial for that, just straight to sentencing.
That’s a common misconception. Eric didn’t have any cigarettes on his person. Meaning the fake crime he was executed for wasn’t just minor. It was non existent.
He had been cited in the past for selling loosies. But there’s no info on whether they used an undercover or ci to offer to buy a cigarette. Using honeypot traps on pedestrians should be illegal.
Pantaleo’s partner, Justin D’Amico, admitted that he exaggerated Garner’s charges. D’Amico claimed Garner had been selling 10,000 untaxed cigarettes, which was a felony. However, Garner had fewer than 100 cigarettes in his possession at the time of his death.
No, he did have cigarettes on him. However, it was not enough to matter, and they killed him anyway because they don’t actually care about the law.
Can people start protesting about two tier justice correctly now please?
Yet crybaby Trump it’s still whining and complaining.
Still trying to imitate a real human smile. Still just as bad it.
He just can’t get the hang of it.
LOL. poor SNL…reality too funny.
sure hillary, bill and all the others dont deserve a punishment for being crooks. may monica go check the mailservers.
Somebody just needs to add a laugh track to American news, and be done.
LOL. poor SNL…reality too funny.
How does one even try to parody something like this?
Matt & Trey are gonna have a hard time with the new season as well. Almost anything they can come up with will be overshadowed by reality within the week.
can’t wait for the new LWT season. It’s going to be painfully awesome
I wonder what the fuck is in the water over there, since half the population is crazy!
Lead, lots of lead.
Honestly? We are just stupid and believe America is the best country in every way, despite all the evidence to the contrary. That, coupled with a Fuck You attitude and racism leads us directly to JD Vance.
Cuts to education and removing critical thinking and prep resources from the upbringing of more and more civilians over decades will do that, yep.
Yeah, but imagine if he had a bag of weed on him too.
Oh wait, he’s still rich and white, it wouldn’t have mattered!
I feel like the courts hands were tied here. How do you put a man who was just elected to be the next president in prison, or even on probation? Ultimately, the decision was made by the American voters.
That being said, even if Trump had lost this election, he still probably wouldn’t have done any time in prison, since he still would have been a former president, and that would have been a tricky enough situation.
What the fuck are you saying? Courts hands were tied?? USA is a constitutional democracy, not a mobocracy. Judiciary is to be independent. Blind justice weighing facts of the case and here president or not is irrelevant.
The judge thought it was relevant. You disagree, I get that, but I don’t know what to tell you. Send the judge a strongly worded letter, I guess.
The supreme court seems to have decided not to block the sentencing if there’s no incarceration. Seems like the judge took the best step forward as there will be an appeal anyway.
The judge still has tools other than incarceration. Since the crime was fraud, how about a hefty fine? How about community service? In what world would any other defendant have received a sentence of literally nothing at all?
Fair point…
I understand that you all want to believe that we live in a system where the rules are rigidly applied to everyone equally, regardless of circumstances, without exception, but that’s not the case.
Trump broke the law, that’s a conclusive fact, and he should suffer the appropriate legal consequences for that, but that became really complicated when he was ELECTED PRESIDENT… AGAIN! The president of the United States has a considerable amount of power and influence. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. Ideally, the president of the United States wouldn’t have nearly as much power, ideally a president would be held to the same legal standards as everyone else, ideally the American people wouldn’t reelect a convicted felon, but clearly we don’t live in an ideal world.
How do you put a man who was just elected to be the next president in prison, or even on probation?
Exactly the same as every other person. Nobody should be above the law.
Well you start by arresting him and you end by keeping him in prison until the end of his sentence.
Seems pretty simple to me.
