Did you lose both of your thumbs celebrating Trump's razor-thin angry Muslim win?
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2975505]Of all the stupid shit in America, the worst is we have more people in jail than anywhere else. It follows that the reason for that is not that we have more crime but we have more lawyers, and putting people in jail is the ultimate show of power by these fucking attorneys.
So the latest in the completely idiotic lawfare saga is Trump was found to be a criminal but is not going to serve any jail time, and this is why lawyers are such pieces of shit. Jails are supposed to be for people who are a threat to others and they are supposed to be full of guilty criminals. When you go to the time and expense of a trial and come up with some crime no one has ever heard of and you call someone a criminal and do not put him in jail, what the fuck is the point of the legal system supposed to be?
This was not about prosecuting someone who committed a crime and was a threat to society. It was about prosecuting someone who was not liked in one part of the country. If there was any doubt that prosecuting Trump was about trying to use the justice system to rig an election, this should seal it. Just like southern California is suffering because it re-elects pols whose sole qualification is party affiliation, I hope that all the dumb Dems who supported this lawfare crap end up in jail. That would be poetic justice.[/QUOTE]I found this within 10 seconds of typing out, with just one thumb on my smartphone, the obvious Google Search question on the topic:
[B]Trump Formally Convicted But Faces No Punishment.
Jan. 10, 2025[/B]
[URL]https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/01/10/trump-not-sentenced-to-any-punishments-in-hush-money-criminal-case/[/URL]
[QUOTE]Judge Juan Merchan gave Trump an unconditional discharge meaning his conviction stands, but he wont face any penalties after Trump was found guilty in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, letting the president-elect walk free without any punishments.
The sentence falls far short of the maximum penalties that Trump could have faced, as each of his 34 counts was punishable by up to four years in prison and/or a maximum $5,000 fine meaning the harshest sentence could have seen Trump imprisoned for the rest of his life, though that was always unlikely to happen.
....................
Merchan said last week he was [b]inclined to impose the unconditional discharge sentence given Trumps impending presidency which prosecutors said they would not oppose and all but ruled out giving the president-elect prison time, noting it would not be practicable with Trumps upcoming inauguration.
The judge explained his decision for the lenient sentence on Friday, saying an unconditional discharge is the only lawful sentence that would not encroach upon the highest office in the land, though he made clear his decision is because of Trumps position and not him personally, specifying the protections shielding Trump from legal liability are afforded to the office of the President of the United States and not the occupant of that office.[/b][/QUOTE]And I am adding a link to a reminder of the crimes for which Trump was convicted 34 times since it appears you have lost your memory on that as well as your thumbs:

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2975505]So the latest in the completely idiotic lawfare saga is Trump was found to be a criminal but is not going to serve any jail time[/QUOTE]It also pains me that Trump isn't going to serve any jail time in the next 4 years for his multiple criminal offences. Of course, by 2029, your LAS will have likely committed so many new crimes that the law might finally catch up with him, but then his SCOTUS buddies might throw him yet another bone, or his attorneys might get him off on some insane insanity defense, or he might drop dead after his yet another world famous healthy meal. The point is, he's unlikely to spend a day in a prison cell where he's so rightly belongs.
Then again, they wouldn't call him a Teflon Don for nothing, would they? Or was it Gotti?
Anyhoo, fun times ahead. Buckle up!
Trump / Repubs continuing to make government smaller, of course.
So when the American Importers of the goods pays the Trump Tariffs before those American business owners immediately pass that tax cost along to other American business owners who will pass it along to American Consumers, there will now be TWO USA Government agencies there to collect it from those American business owners; the USA Treasury Department AND this new and additional Government Agency that Trump wants to set up.
Which will presumably be headed by some Trump Crime Family Member or Trump / Repub Campaign Donor family member particularly adept as skimming.
However, someone should tell them there won't be anything to skim, not so much as a dime or a yen, "from Foreign sources" because, well, that isn't where the Trump Tariffs money comes from. It ain't inside those crates of Chinese-made Trump Bibles.

[QUOTE]President-elect Donald Trump promised in a social media post to create an External Revenue Service to collect Tariffs, Duties and all Revenue from Foreign sources.
Trump did not give any more details about the proposed government entity.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection currently is responsible for collecting tariffs.[/QUOTE]All of which will no doubt pass muster just fine and dandy with the other Trump / Repub NEW and ADDITIONAL Department of Governmrnt Efficiency that is oh so efficiently headed by two, not one, Secretaries.
Got it?

No, your MAGAs didn't forget their guns at home.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2975729]The protesting J6 crowd was violent? Really? They all forgot their guns at home but gave out some really mean stares? The J6 crowd was the ones police were shooting at.
Ah yes, and we have the typical calling card of the dumb Dem, it is all Trump's fault. He did not prosecute Hilary you fool.
And whose DOJ prosecuted Hunter Biden? Uh, that would be Joe Biden's DOJ.
I never wanted Hilary prosecuted and am glad Trump did not do it, and Hunter Biden's case was Joe Biden's DOJ prosecuting him on something most of us found meaningless. Did you ever think that Joe Biden prosecuted Hunter to keep him under control?
No, everything is the fault of Trump and Republicans. Trump talked with Joe Rogan about how fucking stupid Gavin Newsome was with water management being before any of the fires happened, but you are too dense to believe it. Somehow in your head the fires in LA are the fault of Trump and Republicans.
Thanks for reminding me how foolish you Dems really are.
And why are you here? To make sure your SS check still gets through?[/QUOTE]Your MAGAs not only didn't forget their guns at home, some slipped them past the metal detectors even before Trump shrugged off staff reports of them bringing their guns with an order to take down the metal detectors because, "They aren't here to hurt ME". Now, that's America First leadership for ya'.
[B]Oath Keepers jury hears about massive weapon cache on Jan. 6[/B]

[QUOTE]WASHINGTON (AP) A member of the Oath Keepers who traveled to Washington before the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol testified Wednesday about a massive cache of weapons the far-right extremist group stashed in a Virginia hotel room.
Taking the stand in the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and four associates, Terry Cummings showed jurors an AR-15 firearm and an orange box for ammunition that he contributed to the so-called quick reaction force the Oath Keepers had staged at the hotel outside of Washington in case they needed weapons.
[B]"I had not seen that many weapons in one location since I was in the military, said Cummings, a veteran who joined the Oath Keepers in Florida in 2020.
Prosecutors have said teams of Oath Keepers guarded the arsenal of firearms and were prepared to rush them into the hands of extremists in the capital if needed.[/b][/QUOTE][B]They're not here to hurt me': Former aide says Trump knew Jan. 6 crowd was armed.

However, even your MAGAs naturally assumed no so-called president would be numbskull enough to order the removal of the metal detectors and thereby invite them to bring in their guns. So in addition to stashing their arsenal nearby and at the ready, they brought plenty of other weapons with which to attack and kill cops in their mission to attack and kill VP Pence, Nancy Pelosi and every other duly-elected official they could find and who had not been taken to a secure place by the Capitol police and guards.
Oh, except their and your lord and savior, violent, cop-killing, America-hating, warmongering, Insurrection mob leader Donald Trump, of course.
[B]Yes, Capitol Rioters Were Armed. Here Are The Weapons Prosecutors Say They Used[/B]

[QUOTE]But a review of the federal charges against the alleged rioters shows that they did come armed, and with a variety of weapons: [b]stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs. An additional suspect also allegedly planted pipe bombs by the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties the night before the riot and remains at large.
Those weapons brought violence and chaos to the Capitol. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died one day after two rioters allegedly sprayed him and other officers with what prosecutors describe as an "unknown chemical substance." Four other people in the crowd died in the insurrection, and more than 100 police officers suffered injuries, including cracked ribs, gouged eyes and shattered spinal disks.[/b][/QUOTE]Damn. Nobody has ever seen or heard anyone love, embrace and blather out so much revisionist history and blatant, easily debunked lies about everything big and small as you, your MAGAs, your MAGA Leader Trump and all of his ass-licking sycophants.

Why capitalize "Adults"?
When I see capitalized "Adult" in the middle of a sentence, I always expect to see other words around it, like "entertainment" or at least XXX.
Is it your subconscious talking? I mean calling this perpetually silly, petty, vengeful, thin-skinned, lying, elderly man-child narcissist an adult must be a huge affront to the part of your psyche that's responsible for basic intelligence, no matter how deep inside you're trying to bury it.
