Until he is actually punished he will keep doing what the hell he wants. It's a wonder he don't just tell the courts to go fuck themselves. Not like they will do anything if he does.

They should lock him up.

Any normal person- even most millionaires- don’t get this kind of treatment.

I mean, his delay tactics have worked time and time again. He's found an effective tool to circumvent our justice system. This isn't desperation, it's systemic judicial failure.

if he actually is innocent, the absolutely best thing for him to do is to get them over with, then when he is acquited he can use his witch hunt and fake news talking points and gain votes.

pushing all of these trials and trying to bank on winning an election to get out of the majority of these charges (he can't get around georgia that easily) is a 1% strategy in my opinion. that's how I know he's guilty. his entire post indictment behavior is one of a guilty party. I don't really need to follow each case that closely to come to that conclusion. trump has telegraphed that he's guilty.

I'm just worried that someone in his cult might end up on one of the juries.

Nonononnono, see if he goes ahead with the trial the DERP STATE will show all the fabricated evidence to make him look so guilty even TRUE PATRIAT MURICANS might think he was guilty!

That he isn’t locked up is trying our patience, so maybe they should stop fucking around and lock him up.

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

Don't worry. They absolutely will. Next week. /s

I think the judges are giving the lawyers a pass because they know where all the stupidity is coming from.

These lenient judges are trying the patience of the american people.
