Big things are happening apparently!
herzberd ( @herzberd@beehaw.org ) 25•1 year agoSmoking the trump and pat robertson packs today 🥳🎉💃
Pete Hahnloser ( @Powderhorn@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year agoThe Trump news made me forget about Robertson. Overall good news day.
csm10495 ( @csm10495@sh.itjust.works ) 23•1 year agoWe’ve been hearing stuff like this forever now. I’ll wait for him to actually be convicted.
aster ( @aster@beehaw.org ) 27•1 year agoBut we haven’t, this is only the second time hes been indicted and these are federal charges. This is a first time in history that a former president has been federally indicted. It’s quite a big deal over just investigations.
Tavirez ( @Tavirez@beehaw.org ) 6•1 year agoI mean I completely agree with you but I will gladly take him being indicted twice. That is substantial in itself.
flying_gerbil ( @flying_gerbil@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year agoImo the best case scenario we can realistically hope for is for him to be convicted and placed on house arrest
Fapper_McFapper ( @Fapper_McFapper@sopuli.xyz ) 21•1 year agoMy justice boner is so hard right now.
Anissem ( @Anissem@lemmy.ml ) 20•1 year agoOh man I’ve been edging for years I’m so close
Bumblefumble ( @Bumblefumble@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoGive me that sweet release.
DJDarren ( @DJDarren@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoIt’ll be like Niagara Falls when it finally comes.
Anissem ( @Anissem@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year agoIt was a spooky ghost!
TendieMaster69 ( @TendieMaster69@sh.itjust.works ) 18•1 year agoImpeached twice and indicted twice, still running for president lol
Jabroni ( @Jabroni@lemmy.world ) 2•1 year agoI mean, the tiger king ran for office, so that bar is pretty low!
JaymesRS ( @JaymesRS@midwest.social ) 16•1 year agoIt’shappeningRonPaul.gif
Hi, I'm Danny Ganz ( @HiImDannyGanz@beehaw.org ) 15•1 year agoDidn’t he say that he was going to be arrested once before but it turned out to be a lie? Has this been confirmed yet?
Limeade ( @Limeade@beehaw.org ) 9•1 year agoHe was indicted and arrested in New York in early April, those charges are for falsifying business records relating to the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels. He lied about the day, but it happened a few days or a week after he said it would. The arrest process was that he showed up at court, pleaded not guilty, and was then released to await trial. No handcuffs, perp walk, or time spent in jail. That trial is scheduled to begin on March 25, 2024.
So far we have Trump plus “sources say” Trump has been indicted over the Mar-a-Lago documents in the news reports, but no officials have put out a statement yet that I have seen.
backseat ( @backseat@beehaw.org ) 13•1 year agoI used to worry about us over here in the UK being judged badly over Brexit, but you guys have, er, trumped us. This is fun to watch from 5000 miles away, but I’d hate to be there.
Hart ( @Hart@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year agoI used to have a Swedish running partner (doing postdoc in California). We’d argue about who had the ‘least well-informed’ voters (not the specific word we used). He claimed Sweden, I claimed US. He was disabusing me of the impression that all Swedes were knowledgable and cosmopolitan. Ongoing friendly argument – until McCain picked Palin as his VP candidate. I sent him a text: ‘I win.’
Geometric7792 ( @Geometric7792@kbin.social ) 10•1 year agoI can’t be excited about consequences until there’s a conviction
balerion ( @balerion@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoEven then, I expect him to get a slap on the wrist.
CannaVet ( @CannaVet@lemmy.world ) 3•1 year agoI expect even in the best case of him actually eating shit and going to prison in any useful capacity, we’ll get a Democrat rollover and Biden will pardon him “to heal the nation” or some such feel good garbage statement in an attempt to placate the terrorist party that has only ever taken inches and ran for multiple miles.
Wolfric82 ( @Wolfric82@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year agoThose chickens are coming home to roost.
Stewie ( @StewieTheThird@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year agoJust a bit more now I just need the perp walk and I can go peacefully into the night.
Valliac ( @Valliac@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoI’d love to see him hauled out in cuffs. Would just be icing on the cake.
FriendlyFusion ( @FriendlyFusion@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoGrab the popcorn 🍿
Rocket ( @Rocket@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year agoWhat does this mean for his presidential candidacy? Can he still run?
Null User Object ( @nulluser@lemmy.world ) 13•1 year agoMy understanding is yes, he can even run if convicted and in prison. https://prisoninsight.com/can-you-run-for-president-in-prison/
alyaza [they/she] ( @alyaza@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoMy understanding is yes, he can even run if convicted and in prison.
most famously this happened with Eugene Debs, yeah
ConstableJelly ( @ConstableJelly@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoBreaks my heart to hear him mentioned in the same context as trump.
“While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free…”
DJDarren ( @DJDarren@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year agoAh, America and its freedom…
Afkargh ( @Afkargh@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year agoOddly enough, he can run. But as far as I know, he would be ineligible to vote.
magnetosphere ( @HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year agoI don’t trust anything a serial liar says, even if it’s something I’ve been expecting to hear. I’ll wait for news from a legitimate source.
feetongrass ( @feetongrass@beehaw.org ) 6•1 year agoI just hope this recording and any other proof they have are made public. Without that, he can continue calling this whole thing a witch-hunt.
Null User Object ( @nulluser@lemmy.world ) 2•1 year agoThat’s not going to stop him from calling it a witch hunt. The whole of humanity could witness his crimes with their own eyes and he would still claim he’s being persecuted.
feetongrass ( @feetongrass@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoThat is true, but it would give the others in the party an out from having to support him in fear of his base.
