He should be sentenced if he is a sitting president. Eric Adams didn't get a free pass for being in office and neither should the president because the president isn't a fucking king.
He won't be due to how shit our system is, or he would have been sentenced months ago like a normal person.
You better watch your mouth or he'll send Seal Team 6 to delete your ass. It'll be an official act so it won't be illegal for him to do so.

Bro I hate to break this to you. He is their King.
He can be, but they won’t.
It is a universal axiom that any question starting with "Will Trump ever face consequences for..." can be answered with "no".
If, instead of prison, Trump was faced with a free luxury mansion on a private island and a $1B/yr pension to live out the rest of his years Epstein style, Kamala may have had a chance. As soon as the alternative included a hint of repercussions for his actions, the universe simply could not allow it.
Oh no, of course he can't. There's decorum and precedent to consider! Best to give him free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants without fear of consequence or repercussion.
Wouldn't want to upset our dear ruler now would we?
Nor do those with similar positions as him want to establish precedent that they can be held accountable, which is the root reason why it took 4 years to accomplish exactly nothing.
I projected three years ago that come the 2024 election it's all going to dissolve into a nothing burger, regardless who wins, it was solely a dog and pony show to keep us divided and on edge. The same way that Hunter Biden suddenly is no longer discussed now that Biden is out of the race.
They wrote. It down.
It may prove to not end in consequences, but they took notes on a criminal conspiracy before the outcome and it’s part of evidence submitted in federal court.
Nothing burger is not nothing.
It's always to distract you from who is really pulling the strings. The super wealthy.
No the DOJ will begin winding down all investigations and closing cases against trump effective immediately. They are just trying to figure out how to do it.
No.
It's over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he'll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.
It’s all going away. There will be no punishment. We’re done here.
To be clear, none of that is a good thing.
As a first time offender, he may not be getting a jail sentence regardless. Even if he did, though, he could just file an appeal and in the time it would take to hear it, he would be President and whatever sentence would be immediately put on hold l.
He's not getting sentenced. Period. He never was. All of these delays have been powerful people kicking the can down the curb, waiting for a way to make the whole thing go away. They don't want politicians and billionaires being held accountable, or then they too may one day be held accountable.
Laws only apply to poor people.
You’re mistaken. He is a king now.
When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become king. The palace becomes a circus.
Nice
Chief Justice Roberts is ready and willing to kiss the ring... and lick the boots when ordered.
What part of "untouchable" do some people still just not comprehend?
Honestly, there is a reasonable chance he gets assassinated this term. No one is out of reach from the sword of Damocles.
it's fucking joever, if the guy didn't have the nuts to nip this in the bud, he's certainly not going to grow a pair now and give him his just desserts.
aint shit gonna happen.
Theoretically, yes he can. Under US law (if the justice system was working correctly at all), no individual is above the law.
However, it is very unlikely. Trump is stupidly popular amongst people willing to overturn the establishment to let him do whatever he wants. Not to mention that he has a favourable supreme court that can just choose not to prosecute him.
Basically they had 4 years to get it done but acted far too slowly and now there's not enough time before he's a sitting president they won't prosecute.
No, they're asking about the case that did go through where he was found guilty of 34 felony convictions. The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump
He was supposed to be sentenced in September. Trump's defense asked to delay. Prosecution didn't object. Judge didn't want to stick his neck on the line and accepted the delay.
I have no idea what will happen now but probably nothing meaningful anymore. It should have happened in September. I don't know why the prosecution didn't fight the delay, but understand why the judge did what he did.
But yeah, I completely agree with your sentiment. The momentum into nailing Trump down on crimes happened way, way, *way *too slow.
Yes, he can.
But he won't be, or he'll be given a suspended sentence that will never be supervised.
LOL
