RNC Co-Chair Tells Newsmax Republicans Are Planning For Possibility of Trump Addressing Convention From Prison
can you imagine the shoe being on the other foot? if the dems wanted to run someone with a felony conviction, how that would play out in their propaganda pipeline???
Remember when presidential scandals were about the guy wearing a tan suit instead of a dark colored one? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Or getting a consensual blowjob.
To be fair, me as a south European kid I had an hard time to understand where the issue was there 😅 Sure power imbalance but more something to frown upon rather than the huge deal it became.
I think it is better that that kind of “scandals” are not happening any more
Let's be honest. The power imbalance takes away/overrides the consent.
Edit: guess coerced consent is consent, been doing it wrong all this time apparently lol
I remember when the biggest political scandal was Obama using the wrong brand of mustard.
Why on earth would a prison allow a prisoner to broadcast a speech?
Put him in an orange jump suit already and let him bust rocks with a sledge hammer.
Because prisons are for poor people. If it happens, he'll end up in a "prison resort" that has all the amenities he wants on the technicality that he can't leave.
So the EU has a member of the parliament who is in prison for membership of a criminal organization (which commited murder). He was still allowed to travel to Brussels and Strasbourg for his work. Really messed up. But I can imagine the US doing something similiar with trump. The guy is called Ioannis Lagos if you want to look it up.
IIRC, he was allowed to travel to Brussels and Strasbourg only before he was convicted in 2020. Right after he was convicted, his immunity as a delegate of the EU parliament had been lifted, he was extradicted to Greece, and he is now in prison. He still gets paid as a MEP, though. I hope nobody is stupid enough to vote for him again this Sunday.
Two Americas, my friend. We all know the story, let's not pretend it isn't reality
My favorite neolib is the one that is for prison reform but wants rampant prison abuse for people they don’t like.

Bust rocks with those tiny hands? Maybe a toothbrush to scrub the toilets might be more appropriate.
I just remember when Trump's DOJ put together those posse groups to roll up on people protesting during the BLM stuff. All of them were either from ICE or prison corrections. They're entirely in the pocket of the GOP.
Unless the warden doesn't allow it
I wonder what he will look like without someone to plaster on his makeup, glue his hair in place, wipe his ass and dress him?
Just riling up the base. Trump will never see the inside of a cell.
The warden: “best I can do is nope.”
I hella want to hear his address constantly interrupted by the prison phone recorded voice.
I'd vote for Joliet Jake.
Trump cannot and will not follow rules. Trump will be in solitary confinement.
As though that'll happen. He's not going to prison. At least not any time soon. There will be appeals. They know this. This is just theater to whip up their base of loyal shitheads.
Republican are the Party of Law and Order!
I think this would be hilarious.
Really on par with their conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
It's the kind of kayfabe he excels at.
I think house arrest and/or parole makes the most sense here. Politically and in reality. Somehow, he's a first offender. Make him pay to check into a dirty office in NYC once a week, pee in a cup, promise he hasn't spoken to any other known felons since his last parole check in...
Denies him the martyrdom of a few months in jail, as well as the inane drama he would inevitably force out of it.
As much as I would love to see him in jail, as much as he deserves it.... Drug tests and maybe an ankle bracelet would be more realistic.
Yeah, I'm 100% for regular drug checks on him.
I want to know how being around guns is supposed to work with the Secret Service. Had a buddy go back in because his parole officer made a surprise visit and, unknown to him, his buddy had stuck a pistol in the sofa. Straight back to prison.
I'm sure the judge can make an exception, unless that sort of thing is a statute?
What other kind of limitations go with house arrest in NY? Can he have any visitors he wants, teleconference etc?
Oh the wild statements that he'll post about how his parole officer is treating him "so unfair".
I'm only interested in prison in the Federal cases, and that will only happen if and when he loses the election. After that I want Jack Smith to go full gloves off on the classified documents case, force the 11th circuits hand to recuse Loose Cannon, and then sit his fucking ass in court where they are pushing for life in prison without the possibility of parole. Then he can sit in his special cell all by himself with his secret service detail while he slowly rots from the inside out.
