Both Sides: Why we don't fuck with the GOP
- Thread starter donwuan
- Start date
Ben Meiselas on the contrast between Biden’s interview with Stern and Trump’s interview with Stern where Trump brags about inspecting women in locker rooms: Stern was mocking Trump and getting him to say the dumbest things. Now, think about how world leaders treat Trump. If that’s how Stern treated him, think about how Putin treats him. Think about how President Xi treats him. Think about how Kim Jong-un treats him. Think about how MBS treats him.
Like a clown.

Nothing about this case gives me the impression that he would be locked up immediately after a guiltily verdict. Look how long it took before the subject of fines became a reality? Remember the 400 million bond he was supposed to pay for his real estate conviction that magically got knocked down to 100 or so?But will he be locked up while pending appeal? This is a felony. He's already attacked the judge's daughter and witnesses. He's violated the gag order 7 times.
Convicted defendants can be immediately sent to jail pending sentencing. This is actually quite common after a felony conviction. Alternatively, a convicted defendant may remain free until sentencing. A judge may even grant bail pending appeal, which means that a defendant may remain outside of custody, even after being sentenced, until the appeal has been heard.
Trump’s case would normally be a good candidate for bail pending appeal. But much will depend on Trump’s behavior during and after trial, because courts do not release people, especially after they have been convicted, if the judge believes they represent a threat to society. Judge Merchan has already warned Trump to “refrain from making comments or engaging in conduct that has the potential to incite violence, create civil unrest, or jeopardize the safety or well-being of any individuals.” If Trump makes any effort to whip up his followers, as he did before the events of Jan. 6, 2021, he will almost certainly find himself sent directly to jail.
So are we likely to see Donald Trump gagged or jailed? That all depends on Trump. Perhaps he will behave himself. But these things are real possibilities for the former commander in chief, just as they are for any criminal defendant.
The rule of law can sometimes be a harsh mistress. There is a very real possibility that one of our two major presidential candidates will be a convicted felon and serving time by November. That’s bad enough. But if he is elected despite a conviction, then constitutional crises don’t come much bigger than that.
If Trump gets convicted, what happens next?
Jailing an ex and possibly future president would be unprecedented. But these are unprecedented times.thehill.com
I will bet cash money he will bond out during any appeals process and will still be allowed to run for office because he won't officially be found guilty of any felonies at that point.
Remember the Supreme Court said states can't take his name off of any ballots because he's hasn't been found guilty sedition as of yet.

If he receives a guilty verdict that's a conviction homie regardless if it's appealed. But I hear you.
