Well, that’s the end, guys!
The two federal cases are being shut down, Jack Smith is retiring, and there’s no way the Georgia case goes forward if a literal conviction is paused.
America was nice while it lasted!
I guess when you’re a star, they really do let you do it. What a slap in the face to the jury, witnesses, and prosecutors, though, who spent their time on this case and risked reprisal from MAGA extremists.
And to every single American who isn’t a filthy magat traitor.
America is finished. Laws are meaningless.

The end was really about 8 years ago. The last few weeks, and upcoming years will be the final nails in the coffin.
As a 4th generation veteran, it makes me sad.
Great job turning in your homework at the last minute prosecutors!
What makes you think this is over?
This is exactly what you’d expect if the judge wants to sentence Trump to jail. He can’t do it now, it would be immediately overturned by the SCOTUS.
So he has no choice but to wait until 2029 (or possibly sooner, in the unlikely event that Trump is impeached again).
Trump can’t get impeached until 2027 at the soonest because of the Republican controlled House.
Even then, the Senate will prevent his removal.
As I said, he’s unlikely to be impeached. But it’s not impossible, if his deport+tariff plan sparks a Depression scale stock market crash and his popularity plummets. In that case, the oligarchs and populists of the GOP might agree they prefer Vance.
Supreme Court has no power over a state court ruling.
Of course they do. To name just one example, in Bush v Gore the SCOTUS overturned a ruling made by the Florida Supreme Court.
Unless someone keeps appealing to a higher court and non along the way reject it, you can always reach the supreme court.
This makes my stomach turn. The courts have failed us, time to bring back the guillotine.
did y’all actually think anything would come of it?
For the last several years I called it a dog and pony show to keep liberals riled up
it’s always been a dog and pony show
