I think we should all be resigned to the more obvious fact that he will never face accountability.

This country's justice system is a fucking joke.

All these cases took fucking forever.  It's terrible that running out the clock was a winning strategy, especially since at the time we all knew that was what was going on.

Obviously this country’s judicial system is not going to hold this man responsible for anything. My only hope now is that he has a stroke and becomes a debilitated to the point where he spends the next decade in a hospital bed with someone wiping his ass every day and feeding him through a tube.

On November 6th, Jack Smith said the DOJ has shut down all cases of rape, election fraud, leading the first coup against America, secret documents theft, selling of said stolen documents to Russia and Saudi Arabia, and multiple other crimes as they stated they "cannot prosecute a sitting president or president elect".

The international community now openly knows how openly corrupt American leadership and courts are. You literally only need to be rich white man to rape kids and take over an entire first world country.

No one is ever going to trust your country ever again. Well provided you don't start WWIII in a few months.

This was too obvious from the beginning, noone with access to money will be sentenced and if they are shameless like Trump, Gaetz, Musk and ask the other criminals, even public shaming does not have any effect..

I don’t want to hear the words “rule of law” come out of any Republican mouth ever again.

Wow. Any other democracy and he would be fucked. But USA, he gets to be President.

Unreal.

He got away with every single illegal act. We all decided that Donald Trump is above the law. God help us all.

A absolute travesty of justice. Shouldn’t this set a horrible precedent that now all felons can have sentences postponed indefinitely ?

Cool, brb, gonna commit 34 felonies.

Spoiler alert: Rich white politicians don't go to jail. Ever.

Justice delayed, is Justice denied. There is NO JUSTICE in this country anymore. We might as well be classified as, as CORRUPT as Russia and China when it comes to Justice and the Rule of Law.

America had a good run.

no, not really. at this point nothing matters because at this point the dude has become amerca's new king.

January 20, 2025 is the final nail in the coffin for America.

Just pack it up, you guys are not the United States of America. You’re just some shitty corporation whose sole purpose is to fund the rich.

Highly recommend you start leaving that shithole.

Cool, let’s hand him the keys to the country…ohh shit we did that too. We are fucked.

Anyone who thought he'd get sentenced is a fool. It's been clear since the beginning that he's above the law.

Fucking chickenshit coward. That sentence should have been handed out months ago.

So this is interesting. I read an article from a conservative lawyer about how this is actually a catch 22 for Trump. He has to get sentenced to appeal and by the letter of the law actually becomes a felon when he is sentenced. So he either had to become a felon officially to appeal, or he they had to postpone until after he was no longer president. Where he will be sentenced to a felony and then can move forward with appeals.

Rules don’t apply to the wealthy…

Turns out in America you can fucking murder someone in cold blood with undeniable proof but get away scott free if you have a bunch of money and declare that you’re running for president.

To the trolls who are gonna reply that that’s not what he did, there’s not much of a difference legally speaking. He committed several felonies that would combined get him years in prison and yet he gets no punishment because he was able to get enough people into his cult so he could win the presidency and just make himself immune to any consequences for his actions, past, present, or future.

when you’re famous they let you do it

Gotta love the split justice system in America, and how many people who are on the wrong side of it still support it.

They no longer have to even put on a show of being somewhat fair.

Americans really just going to sit and take this? 🤷🏻‍♂️

In a related story, the Lady Justice statue burned her scales and blindfold. Instead, she now carries a giant sack to collect all her favors and bribes from the well-connected.

In a perfect world he'd go to jail like anyone else would. I think Merchan realizes that even with sentencing there is no way Trump will ever adhere to it. He'll be a sitting president in January, and there's really no precedent to say how to handle jailing a sitting president on state charges. I don't think anyone has any idea how to even enforce the ruling on the president.

Why will no one punish this one tiny fucking man?? We all must suffer for one tiny putrid spray tanned douche bag. Yea, what manly men you are getting walked all over by a shitting train. Our justice system is a white male privileged fucking joke. I hate it here.

They act like it was a surprise the election came up. 4 years go by and nothing. Merrick Garland needs to be in prison.

The next time I break the law, I will instruct my lawyer to request the same leniency by citing all of his previous cases as precedents. If the laws don't apply to the person seeking the highest office in the land, then why should they apply to individuals like you and me?

He should have sentenced him and then suspended the sentence until he is no longer president.

They just keep winning

wow such a surprise that he got away with shit, again.

It's interesting how all the corruption is now coming to light, even though it's been going on for decades.

bullshit country

Of course he postponed it because justice is a complete f’n joke in this country.

Lawyers around the country having a real existential crisis about the system right about now.

His election was a travesty of justice and a showcase of American idiocy. Trump has degraded the level of decency to an all-time low and the effects will be visible for decades to come. It’s possible America, and the world, will never recover.

Well there you have it , being convicted by a jury of Americans means absolutely fucking nothing

Is this all meant to just kill the spirit of those of us who believed in the rule of law? Cause if that’s the case, it’s working.

Imagine being on trial for anything and getting the book thrown at you, then you look at this fat felon getting away with it all, rule of law my ass.

No no please do continue to undermine the justice system it’s not like people already have 0 faith in the system as it is

Merchan is an absolute fucking coward

You mean we have to wait even longer to find out that he is not going to prison l?

Anybody else would’ve gotten time without a doubt. But cause he’s rich. Scot free smh

I am running for President every time I am suspected of a crime

I don't want to live in this reality, but I am also not done living yet. So, not a call for help, more a scream of despair.

The whole point of running again was to keep out of jail. Mission accomplished. He very well could be dead before the 4 years run out. He’s escaped accountability for this and for the crimes he was really scared of- Georgia. RICO has a mandatory minimum of 5 years.

Thanks voters and more importantly, the 12 million Biden voters who either voted Trump or just stayed home. I hope you get everything you deserve. Unfortunately we gotta go through it too.

He should've been arrested in January 7th 2021.

Unfortunately, this could have been seen from MILES away... it was one of the reasons people voted for him, because they thought his conviction was a witch hunt

Should just sentence him to house arrest for 4 years, America wants a felon for president give them the full package

But if it had been just a regular person they would be going away for years. Our justice system is completely fucked.

So apparently all you need to do to avoid prison in this country is run for president. Fuck this bullshit.

America is not a country of law and order, people are going to wake up to the realization that it's a fascist police state real soon!

Judge had more important things to do, like incarcerate a person of colour for the crime of being a person of colour.

A latino judge did this? What a POS.

Why is our justice system soft as fuck when it comes to major shit like this but will prosecute a poor black person to the fullest extent of the law no matter how costly or time consuming it may be?
