      I would love for the judge to just come out of left field with a 10 year sentence

        That could restore some faith in court.

        Merchan really undermined our courts the moment he pushed July sentencing to be after election. He basically showed that justice is blind unless you have money and power.

          The NYAG requested the delay as well. At the time Merchan was clearly surprised and annoyed, but basically said "well if both of you want to delay I guess I’ll defer… 🤷🏼

            Letitia James?

            I didn’t know that.

            That was fucking stupid. If we truly held to the motto that justice is blind and treat him the same, as everyone else in all cases we wouldn’t be here.

            US prides itself that unlike other country it is a nation of laws, but here we showed the total opposite.

              Alvin Bragg for this case. James is the prosecutor for the election interference in georgia.

          He isn’t president yet, though. At that point VP should take over.

        The thing is that, there are no consequences. The judge already implied that he won’t even get monetary penalty.

        It is ridiculous that he is even fighting it.

        Or maybe it was a bone thrown to help SCOTUS to use it as an opportunity to make itself look like it has some legitimacy.

        She’s aged in office like Obama, guess dealing with a pilled out dipshit and Russian handlers at the save time is like presidentially stressful.

        “I just wanted a rich ‘trophy husband’, now people are calling me ‘first lady’, the CIA and FBI are raiding my houses, these three thugs have to follow me wherever I go…”

          Elon Musk seems like the kind of husband that would set the world record for artificially aging his wife based on being annoying to constantly have in your life.
