@rickerhart907 There were 34 crimes he was convicted of. You're saying that none of those are crimes that he did?

@Kainis80 That's projection. If the SCOTUS had to adhere to the same ethical rules that the rest of the courts do, there would be a very different result in some of these key cases.

@LoRdHaVeMrcY Um, there were crimes, he was convicted of those crimes, this was just to preserve his conviction. The SCOTUS has made it pretty clear that they're going to let him off the hook for pretty much anything he does on account of a couple of the justices being appointed by him and a good chunk of the rest being horribly corrupt.

@jeffamckee We're arguably all victims here because this was done as part of electoral fraud.

It wasn't, the trial and conviction happened before he was re-elected. But, with how recent SCOTUS rulings have gone with respect to the Presidency, it's pretty clear that if there were any sort of actual punishment that the SCOTUS would probably overturn it. Even without the punishment, they may opt to overturn it. The GOP hasn't even bothered to try to nominate justices that are actually competent in quite some time. Just look at how bad the Liberal justices are, and just how monstrous the Conservative ones still look by comparison.

@bladudemovies Yes, and it was only no time because he's been re-elected and SCOTUS has been pretty clear that any sentence would be tossed out as the President is above the law according to a majority of the justices. With no punishment, there's at least some hope that it won't be overturned.

Yep, a detail that a lot of people seem to be missing is that the reason for the no judgment sentencing is because that's the only hope there is for preserving the conviction. Any sort of punishment here is likely to get tossed by SCOTUS as they've ruled that the POTUS can do pretty much whatever he likes because apparently, the President is now a king, even though that's not at all what the constitution says. It's been a trend for a bit now where they go for the technicality over the spirit. So, unless you give somebody cash for an explicit promise for a politician to do something specific, it's not a bribe. Or, you can do that, but give the cash afterwards and it's a gratuity, which is somehow not a bribe. And you can pay off a politicians credit card debt, which is apparently also not a bribe.

@marymcq2 I wouldn't be so happy about that. It pushes us closer to a civil war or somebody deciding that it's open season on SCOTUS justices that have completely lost any sense of responsibility or ethics. There's a fair number of folks out there that take the aphorism of "we've been given 4 boxes to use to protect the country, soap box, ballot box, jury box and ammo box, use in that order" literally. We've already had a CEO of a major health insurance company assassinated, do you really think that more bad rulings aren't going to inspire a similar level of patriotism? Barring something else putting things back on the rails, it's pretty much inevitable that somebody will.

@toh6261 You think he'll follow through on that? It requires reading literal tea leaves to guess what we're going to actually get when he takes office in a week and a half. For all we know, they'll snow him good and he'll send our own forces over there to help.

How so? The case was tried before he won re-election. Had he lost, there's a decent chance he would have received actual punishment. But, given the way that SCOTUS has been ruling with respect to what the POTUS is allowed to do, there's a lower chance of this being tossed on appeal due to a lack of actual punishment associated with it. He's been convicted and "sentenced." Even if they do overturn it, it doesn't change the fact that he was convicted. Only the MAGA folks seem to be unaware of how big of a deal this is. But, somehow the stuff Hunter Biden did is a big deal.

@zzygyy It won't, it can't be removed from his record as it's a matter of public record that he was convicted, it's in the papers everywhere and people are going to remember this for basically as long as the US exists. He's been let off the hook for leading an insurrection, and this is a blot on his reputation? As far as Kangaroo court goes, this sort of fraud is a very big deal, far more so than what Hunter Biden was convicted of. But, somehow you people think that was legitimate, but this wasn't. Go figure, I guess you're only law and order folks when it's the other side being convicted.
