“I’m not sure the public would stand for it,” he said. “I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point.”
This mf really trying to do it again.
It won’t work though. Remember how he asked for mass gatherings at his trial and it didn’t happen?
January 6th required a huge number of Trump rallygoers from all over the country to mass in one place, for them to get fired up to commit violence by multiple speakers, for Trump himself to say that he personally was going to go with them to the Capitol, and for Trump to do virtually nothing about the insurrection for hours.
There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won’t be some great MAGA uprising.
There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won’t be some great MAGA uprising.
Even that could turn scary though. One lone wolf attack could inspire more and those inspire even more, eventually leading us to an American Years of Lead
The Trump base has shown us how insane they are before, I don’t want to underestimate what they’ll do next.
Maybe, but don’t underestimate good old American laziness.
House arrest is not a penalty that would help him rehabilitate.
He needs an actual jail to learn anything.
At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.
I don’t think he’s capable of learning any lessons from any sentence the court can provide.
Someone get Susan Collins in here
Sociopaths cannot be rehabilitated
There have been studies that make some progress with some of them, but not ones as old as Trump.
Maybe picking trash on a highway.
He has already spent years picking up trash all over the country.
-* BaDung-tssshhhhhh *-
Hey settle down. Stormy Daniels is my hero.
Pretty sure they meant the “repeat it, don’t think about it” maga crowd.
let’s be honest, he is beyond rehabilitation.
Let’s be honest, he could die in jail.
One year per count and no electronic communications allowed? A violation adds one more year to the sentence automatically.
That yellow is gonna White really shiny real quick.
How many years left do you think he has? A year per violation is already more years than he has left. So, a year per violation just means more years he’d never serve.
Instead, a violation should mean something like a week in jail with no delays–straight to jail. That would actually have a meaningful impact on him.
Ok but could this then apply to me? I want to have millions, billions if possible and then go to jail for a year at a golf club facility. Oops I dropped the soap! You only need to worry about golf clubs or balls going in there you know what I mean? And a week if I’m bad. Like if I loose it at the 19th hole, I could just go to the one finger clapping a holes and break their fingers. For a week.
House arrest without internet, telephone, television, constant visitors: that would work.
Better yet. House arrest with no internet, but with Rudy giuliani. Both of them in a location neither of them owns limited to each other’s company and the tv. Put cameras all around the place. And let the American public watch it. That would be the best way to make them pay for all they’ve done.
TAKE MY MONEY
Add in Rodger Stone and a few other trump felons and we could advertise it as a new season of the real world. Find out what happens when felons stop acting nice and start acting real!
Bunch of nutjobs squabbling over limited honey bun resources, I’m in.
At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.
I would do unspeakable things to see this happen
Death penalty.
As much as I yearn for an embolism to bless the present day: no.
Stand for it?! He’s delusional. Most of “the public” wouldn’t only stand for it, they’d wait in line to buy tickets to see him escorted to prison. They’d but t-shirts.
Jail, I vote Jail, please I wanna see that bastard in a jumpsuit
Felonies in New York, does that mean Rikers? Asking for a friend
Rikers is a jail which means it houses three groups. Those are pretrial detainee, people convicted of misdemeanors (crimes punishable by up to a year), or people convicted of felonies (crimes punishable by more than a year) but who were sentenced to less than a year.
If he is sentenced to incarceration for over a year, Trump would go to one of New York’s prisons. If under a year, he could go to a jail like Rikers.
*edit to fix horrible phrasing.
or felonies (punishable by more than a year) but sentenced to less than a year If sentenced to incarceration for over a year
I had to read this 4 times to finally realize there’s a missing period that makes it make sense.
Of course. He’s tough. He plays fair. He accepts responsibility for his actions. He obeys the law even when he’s above it.
Liar.

You know who else was put under house arrest for a week and forced to pay a small fine?
Jesus.
Honestly, I’m perfectly ok for him to go to jail for even a week. Then we would have already setup the foundation on how we would jail him in the future, indefinitely.
Prison, please. If it ends up being just between those two then jail. House arrest is not punishment for him.
House arrest means he can’t hold campaign rallies.
He’ll do anything to get out of debating Biden
He only fucked Stormy Daniels to get out of the debate. 4D Chess.
appears at rallies via a zoom call, crumpled shirt and house in disarray in the background.
“Look at what they did to me I can’t even have a maid come clean I just…they’ll take yours too!”
Even if he gets house arrest, I just hope they take away internet access from him, so we can get the break from seeing his stupid name in the news
You know, I’m okay with this that you propose.
He won’t spend a day in prison. I don’t believe it will happen. Even if he gets sentenced, he’ll just drop dead before setting foot in a cell.
That’s fine too
Be funny if the judge reads that to him at sentencing.
It doesn’t matter what he is ok with, he will do whatever the judge decides.
Merchan will remain moderate. Prison is possible, but not probable for nonviolent class E felonies. The last thing he wants is to feed Trump’s attorneys argument for bias at appeal.
Part of sentencing is determined by the defendant’s character, and Merchan has already spoken against his interest in jailing a former President for violating the gag order. However, Trump has over a month to demonstrate his character prior to sentencing, and he’s not doing himself any favors in that department.
My guess is that they will give him a suspended sentence, but he will have to piss in a cup for the rest of the campaign, at least. It will be very interesting to see if Trump can get out of bed without his amphetamines.
Prescription drugs shouldn’t be a red flag on a drug test. They’ll show up on the toxicology report, but get dismissed from concern if they’re prescribed.
Ok then I guess we will get to learn about Trump’s ADHD or Narcolepsy diagnosis. Either way it should be a peak behind the bullshit curtain.
Yeah, we know Trump has powerful connections and will be treated with far more leniency than the average person because instead of holding people with power to a higher standard we do the opposite.
That doesn’t contradict the fact that it doesn’t matter what Trump is good with when it comes to sentencing.
Merchan hasn’t been lenient thus far. He’s been moderate throughout the trial. There’s no reason to expect otherwise at sentencing.
He didn’t enforce the no phones policy on Eric.
He warned Trump multiple times without following through.
As far as I can tell what you are calling moderate is the same thing as being lenient.
He mandated a gag order, then amended it to include more restrictions. Trump was charged with 10 violations at the maximum fine, and warned of jailing for future violations. He did not violate the order again.
Moderate means providing reasonable considerations as he would to other defendants. That is how Merchan runs his courtroom.
I think their point is that you or I wouldn’t get treated that lightly. How many people get 10 violations, let alone need a gag order in the first place. The sad fact is that a court acting “moderately” is a lot more lenient than what a lot of people experience.
He was issued a gag order due to public criticism of witnesses and the effect it may have on their credibility. The 10 violations were addressed at two gag order hearings. At the first hearing he was fined the maximum. At the second, he was fined the maximum and warned of jail for the next offense.
This is exactly how an impartial judge should be ruling.
Eric having a phone should have been considered felony witness tampering.
Ok, cool, jail it is. A huge W for America.
Prison!
I wonder if the Trump huffers will change their tune when photos of a pale, obese old man with that one hair dangling down his neck get published.
Ok, sure. He lists his properties as private residences so give him the choice to travel between any of his properties but while under house arrest visitors must me excluded and go by the same rules as any other person visitor of granted access.
He’ll get house arrest but he’ll lose all his businesses.
Yeah… house arrest in Mar-a-lago… i’d expect everyone everywhere would be ok with indefinite house arrest there as long as Trump wasn’t there
The more this goes, the more I want to save the game somewhere and look what happens if he wins
Imagine inauguration in jail, and President ruling the country from the cell
