Trump would get a fine, if he hadn't violated the judge's orders and been held in contempt multiple times.
Trump burned through all of his rich white guy privileges with judge Merchan. Delaying the sentencing until after the election was a way to make sure that Trump gets prison time.
See, if the sentencing had been before the election, then the Supreme Court could have held an emergency session to keep him out of prison.
They will not hold an emergency session for a two time loser.
But that's only if he loses. I have faith that it will happen. But reality doesn't care about my faith. Things will turn out how they turn out and we can only be sure once it's done.
But yeah, if he loses he'll be in prison come Christmas.
That or he'll try to flee the country.
If Trump is near or on his plane come election day, I'll feel a lot more confident in his loss.
Pop quiz, what was the reason for Trump's first impeachment?
Halting money that Congress had allocated to a foreign country.
Biden and Harris have been calling for restraint and cease fires non-stop since the beginning here.
Give Harris Congress, and the she can put a stop to this shit.
Vote for Trump, or convince people to not support Harris, and the genocide will be accelerated.
That's it. Those are the choices.
And if Harris wins the presidency but loses Congress. Well, that's still better than Trump. At that point we'd be in for two to four years of nothing getting done either way.
Need I remind you that a speaker at yesterday's Madison Square Garden Trump rally claimed that "Palestinians are taught to kill us at two years old".
The passage is in Mathew 25. Often called the Sheep and the Goats.
And yeah, it's all made up with bits and pieces added later by different people, but that passage in Mathew 25 is pretty clear that you have to feed the poor, welcome the immigrant, (or the stranger as found in some translations), visit the prisoner, clothe those who need it, etc.
And the punishment for not doing these things is everlasting punishment in the fires of hell.
Total absolution isn't actually a thing in most forms of Christianity except via baptism.
And baptism can't be done twice. It's a one time thing, after that you're expected to actually live as if you believe. Charity and not sinning and shit.
Basically you have to try to live like Fred Rogers.
Jesus was very clear about that in the one time he talked about eternal punishment.
It was the part welcoming immigrants, feeding the poor, and visiting the prisoners.
Also the part about not being a hypocrite praying loudly in the street, but being devote and praying in the quiet of your home.
But that's regular Jesus. Not Supply Side Jesus.
Supply Side Jesus can be bribed, so list your local church in your will for instant absolution.
I know, it's maddening. But thanks to how elections work, you have exactly two options. And they are not the same.
If you think that Biden's policy is bad, just look at what Trump has planned.
He's likely to order the US military to help in the genocide. And since Arabs have not had the best public image in the US in the last 20 some years...
There's a chance the military would do it.
With that as the other option, the current diplomatic talks are far better.
Now, here's why promoting some also-ran jack off is a bad idea. Your also-ran cannot win. It's literally impossible. They can only siphon off votes from the left, and that means that Trump wins and everyone learns again that when a madman tells you what he'll do, you should believe him.
Yup, there's a reason why RCV initiatives are being repealed faster than they're being adopted.
RCV produces worse results than First Past the Post.
Which is a massive problem for voting reform, because people will say "we tried that, and it made things worse" while thinking about RCV. It poisons the well, and makes real voting reform much harder.
Injured is still shot, does it make it any less of a shooting if the person survived?
Are you seriously arguing that we don't have a gun problem because people survive?
The rest of you nitpicks seem to be just random nonsense.
First it was that some shootings don't count because a gang was involved. Are the victims any less shot due to a gang being involved?
Then you say, but that's not the definition of a mass shooting, people have to die for it to count. But are the survivors any less shot?
Then you ignore the fact that Australia implemented Gun Control. Say it again here, Gun Control. And look, no new mass shootings, regardless of the definition.
Buybacks and seizures to reduce the number of guns, and then strict controls on new purchases. A blueprint for functional gun control.
Unless that somehow doesn't count, like all the people who have been shot that you just don't seem to care about.
A tungsten cube that size would weigh a fuckload.
To just deliver it would be an undertaking. There will be roads between you and the where ever this came from that are not rated for that weight.
You may need a specialized truck just to move it, and a crane to get it on and off said truck...
