Trump Says Supreme Court Should Bail Him Out of Criminal Conviction
Donald Trump says he wants the Supreme Court to intervene is his criminal conviction on charges of falsifying business documents.
The former president complained that his sentencing is set to take place days before the Republican National Convention
Donald Trump says he wants the Supreme Court to intervene in his upcoming sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
“The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,” Trump wrote Sunday night on Truth Social, complaining that Judge Juan Merchan was an “‘Acting’ Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED” to “make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation.”
“The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!” Trump added in an appeal to the nation’s highest court.
This guy is the whiniest fucking baby. How is it that so many "tough guys" in the States are such big fans of this weakass soft boy. He's pathetic.
It's really easy to avoid sentencing, I've done it all my life by following one simple rule: Don't Do Crimes.
Don't Do Crimes
Judges hate him for this one easy trick!
For Profit Prisons hate this one easy trick.
Because they see themselves in him and they are themselves weak and pathetic.
As much as Trump is obviously guilty as fuck, I'm not willing to adopt the "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from the
copslaw" mentality.Nobody said anything about trusting the cops, lol
Don't Do Crimes
Whoa, that sounds pretty radical there.
I've done it all my life by following one simple rule: Don't Do Crimes.
TBF, That'll be a lot harder for you to do if Republicans get back in power and make breathing, or some other unavoidable bullshit, a crime.
How is it that so many "tough guys" in the States are such big fans of this weakass soft boy.
Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich person, and a weak person's idea of a strong man. Always has been.
It's because they too are weak-ass soft boys.
Weak ass broke bitch, he gonna be sucking dicks for 20's. (unless it's Putin, then it's free)
Notice how Trump dilutes and distorts the meaning of words on purpose so they don’t hit as hard when used toward him. I find it terrifying that he’s openly calling everyone a fascist. He’s being honest about his true intentions, America.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them!!!
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Talk is cheap. Actions mean a lot more.
I find it kinda funny. I find it kinda sad he's got many followers that I wish he'd never had.
Maaaad woooorld
Man, that song has been popping up everywhere the last few days. That one acoustic version especially.
He was doing this 9-10 years ago with "fake news"
no donny, cuz states rights 🤭
Nooo not like that!!!
Once again: "the dying skeleton, Joe Biden, supreme commander of New York Stafe has outsmarted us once again" -Republicans, constantly
Ur-Fascism #8:
- Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak". On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.
I love his "I didn't sleep with her but also the hush money I paid her was legal" thing he's been doing. Astounding that his cultists are in so deep that works for them.
He doesn't even want people to believe him, because he wants people to know he sleeps with beautiful women. I don't know if there's a word for denying something you shouldn't have done while simultaneously bragging about how cool you are for having done it. Maybe it should be called a drumpf.
He's not even making an argument that would be anything like what the Supreme Court would hear. They pretty much never hear "I didn't do it" arguments. In fact I've never heard of them hearing one. They hear "the law isn't fair" arguments and if he wants to argue that they should, that sets a precedent that would make them have to hear a lot of "actually I didn't do it" arguments from every two bit criminal on earth... I mean as long as the court actually cares about precedent or fairness... so when are they going to do the hearing?
Correct, the problem for Trump is under our legal system Juries are finders of fact. Trump can argue jury instructions were wrong or certain evidence shouldn’t have been allowed in, but even then the higher courts will determine if it is reasonable to conclude that absent that evidence, could a reasonable jury still have found the verdict. It is an incredibly high bar which is why most appeals fail even for people that we all likely agree were found guilty inappropriately.
Wouldn't it be the NY Superior Court here and probably never make it to the actual US Supreme Court?
Technically the US supreme court can stick their dick in anything, there's a legal option that allows them to just cut in whenever they feel like it.
There's no regular appeals process that reaches the US federal supreme court for a New York state criminal case though.
As far as I know, the Supreme Court can't get involved in a state matter until all appeals in that state have been resolved, and even then won't take up the matter unless there is some connection to Federal law (and that connection was raised at some point in the trial by one of the parties).
But this court might invoke the ancient rite of "Because I said so" to justify letting Trump off the hook, I suppose.
Permanently Deleted
Yeah, the Supreme Court has nothing to do with this case and can't do anything about it.
Right, but you've forgotten the old laws of "Fuck you, poors."
Does anyone remember that Rick and Morty episode with the planet that has the sun that constantly screams? I think I would rather live there than listen to Trump talk ever again.
I try to avoid listening to him because I can feel my brain dying.
Hopefully they do not.
Can someone please explain to me why he keeps saying the judge is conflicted?
Because the judge isn't bending over backwards to accommodate Trump's every whim. That's literally it. If he was, he'd be the best, most honest and fair judge our country has ever seen.
The judge's daughter is a Democrat whose worked for Democratic campaigns in the past. An appeals panel already weighed in on it though and said it didn't amount to a conflict worthy of recusal.

Meanwhile, his classified documents case being handled by a judge he appointed to the court is somehow not a conflict.
It's not about the daughter though. If it wasn't the daughter he would've used some other excuse to complain. It's more like the other answer, the judge doesn't do what Trump wants, so Trump will complain endlessly.
Trump tried to manufacture conflict of interest. The best part was when he dogwhistled for his insane followers to go after the judge's daughter.
He threatened the judge and his family, then used that as a basis for why he couldn't be impartial. If that's how the system worked then any defendant could get away with anything so long as they threaten the judge.
Oh yeah! The conflict of interest. I forgot that. I just kept thinking, " He's not conflicted. He thinks you're a piece of shit. We all do."
Because it is useful for him
It works in his favor to do so. If you think Trump ever thinks beyond that, you'd be wrong.
I love how his base of supporters never catch on the endless crying and excuses this man produces.
Infinite patience and forgiveness for themselves, infinite hate and oppression for everyone else.
It's a goal of religious delusional upbringing to convince them that they are both superior AND the victim at the same time. Trump has tapped into that delusion and hence can do no wrong.
In fact, as we are seeing here the truth about him only feeds their victim hood...
Obviously not their job and it's his own actions being a racist piece of shit landlord in NYC that turned the public against him before he switched to Republican, and none of this is convenient when you only have two parties and one is stumbling over itself to be as despicable as possible and both prefer oligarchy over democracy.
This all feels like a bad reality TV show
Please, how do I unsubscribe from this program/station/network/reality?
The secret is to dream walk.....
The skill is unlocking how to stay in that reality
Someone needs to remove the caps lock key from Trump's Blackberry. He's Abraham Simpson with cotton candy hair yelling at the clouds.
The ‘Sentencing’ ... will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,
Wait. What do the fascists have to do with his sentencing? Does he think the court will allow his own voters to sentence him? He's seriously losing his mind.
None of that works that way you orange dingbat.
