To cover their corruption they'll indicate they need time to consider the motion. January 20th will pass. The new president will play his "above the law" card the SC gave him, and we'll simply move on. Our broken justice system at work...

Ffs, there should be NO reason for this bullshit to go through. SCOTUS should deny cert and move on. They’ve meddled enough.

i believe that discussions have already taken place between trumps team and SCOTUS. Just as they did with Cannon. They will give him his wish.

turns out he spoke with Alito yesterday.

this is going to be interesting - how low can SCOTUS go?

This is a test to see how compromised they truly are.

They literally ruled him king

we already know how compromised they are, that's why he can make this request since they told him he's immune from everything. Lawless #SCOTUS

One thing they could do is not even address it in the next two days and make no decision. However, my bet is they'll help out their BFF.

I think the best we can expect from this court is that they won’t take it up. Can’t imagine they’d rule against the orange ogre.

??? Is there any doubt about that? Haven’t they show us openly and repeatedly?

They will help him out. There will be no sentence. Disgusts me that not only can he incite an insurrection, but he can get away with it and become president again. We may never get rid of him. I worry he won't get out of the WH when his term is over.

Or worse yet he will name one of his stupid children his successor.

There are literally 4 women currently serving on the Supreme Court, but sure let’s minimize that. #voteblue 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

So there you have it. The Federalists have adopted the stray bull mastiff and must now stay faithful.

If there is little doubt that Trump will pardon his Documents cohorts, garland or Biden should just release both volumes.

But, of course…

SCOTUS: you know we got you, booboo.

I am feeling so nauseous. It’s going to be so bad. I don’t know how we even make it four years…

Fuck Trump.

Right!

Trump going all the way to the corrupt Supreme Court to prevent this report from coming out tells us we all need to read it.

This is related to the "hush money" case, not the Special Counsel report, but I can't blame you for mixing up his many criminal cases! LOL

And of course they will.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, Joyce. Always appreciated.👍

If the Law won't protect the citizens from this dangerous Criminal & Treasonous piece of shit, we'll have to do it ourselves!! ☠️

😉👍😂

You mean the gateway to Hell!??

Welcome to Mira Lardo, Abandon all hope, ye who enter here

I’m sure he’s been in contact with some of them ?

You’re on to something. From now on SCOTUS will be referred to as “Trumps Law bros”. In line with the respect they deserve.

They're helping him out

It’s because she’s broke, living off her kid’s $. She’s got nothing, her business is gone no buyers, she’s been hanging out in the spa for the last 4 years. NYC fashion has dropped her 4 years.

I'll never buy a tesla and i'm gonna stop shopping at amazon

I was going to say SCOTUS created a monster, but my second one was they enhanced the monster.

It's almost a chicken/egg.....he appointed three of them, so which one's the monster and which one created the other?

But one's there before him are his biggest supporters- I'm looking at you Thomas, Alito, and Roberts.

Yeah, it's scary how he's got all 6 wrapped around his finger

Not even trying to hide the corruption anymore.

I won’t be surprised if they rule in his favor. There will be outrage but, like everything else, we will have no recourse. Zero. Nada. The media will help him too. No doubt. Meanwhile…Read any good books lately?

Why hide it anymore, right? Of course they will!

Trump didn't pay hush money?

🤬

It's the lawyers. Trump would nothing without criminal, anti-democracy lawyers and judges. Call the Florida State Bar Association, tell them to revoke Aileen Canons law license. Florida State Bar Association 850-561-5600

* to complain about a specific judge, call the Judicial Qualification Commission of the Florida State Bar at 850-488-1581

That's why Trump stacked the courts, his Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card.

Haha!

Scotus will show us how corrupt they are!

Wouldn’t it be fun if they hung him instead!

Can he just skip over over NY Court of Appeals like that?

He's a f-ing idiot. Geez. America, you keep embarrassing yourself by the sheer stupidity of what you voted for.

And they probably will 🥲

Just suck it up buttercup. This is the life of a felon

...and when they DO help him out, there's not a damn thing We The People can do about it.

That's not entirely true. But it will take getting our hands bloody. Are you ready for that?

And just to be clear, I am absolutely ready for that. I'm just trying to round up a team.

🤬🤬🤬

Fingers crossed these bros value the rule of law over this disgraceful man

What’s Roberts going to do, tell him that he’s SOL and then 10 days later act like nothing has happened as the defendant takes the oath of office? Ha ha ha

Once again, Karen waddles over to the manager .

We KNOWZ the BROZ will do his bidding.

It’s so done

Like any toddler he will do whatever it takes to get his way

Oh. I saw this episode of real life before. Spoiler alert: SCOTUS has his back.

Who could have seen that coming besides everyone who saw that coming

He will eventually turn on them.

Why should anybody obey any law….? Seriously….? Precedents are being set for everything to be disobeyed and challenged. Court appointed attorneys can easily make challenges to accountability in front of a judge.

They will.

I wouldn't pay a dime to wapo to read their article.

yeah, and I wouldn't place a bet on what they do, they're lawless and not constitutionalists at all, just flunkies for power like #MAGA and #Trumpisacriminal

#Trumpisacriminal

Low friends in high places

My simple understanding is that they have zero authority here, unless there were federal issues in the case. Which there were not.

How does the US Supreme Court have direct jurisdiction in a state criminal prosecution? This isn’t a habeas petition.

Band of Brothers, me thinks.

They will.....

🤬 we are really screwed if they do.

If Rump gets away with this, can I demand my sentence be delayed when I get a speeding ticket based on a supreme court ruling?

According to the Not-So-Supreme Court you can only do that if you are the President. The good news is that it is apparently retro-active so you can commit a crime and THEN become President and you are immune for the crime you committed when you weren't even President yet.

What, I don't have equal rights in the "Land of the Free"? Poor Nixon. The Republicans still had a conscience back then. Now they'd just pretend spying on the Democrats was part of his presidential duties.

Joyce, you are priceless.

If this was you or I, we would have already been sentenced, done our time, and be out on probation by now. Don't ever tell me that no person is above the law ever again!!!

Give Kavanaugh a beer, Clarence a gas card for the TV and a Hermes scarf for his consort, Alito a white pointy hat and flag, and Robert’s wife another $10 million for pillow-talk favors, and they will roll over.

So now the optics of kickbacks truly don't matter. $COTUS will no doubt lick this up from all the broligarchs. And we haven't even seen swearing in (not that I'm going anywhere near watching it).

Prediction: Of course they will allow Trump to escape justice. The Supreme Court is just a rubber stamp for Project 2025 and all the evils Trump is about to visit upon the country and the world.

What a wuss!

They will. Anything goes now. Buckle up.

And exactly WHY should SCOTUS intervene in a state criminal proceeding involving sentencing?

They have to deny even entertaining this or they stand to lose the very last shred of dignity and their role as the final arbiter of the Rule of Law.

No they lost all that a long time ago.

No, asshole! Get your wimp ass in court! Hilarious really, the so called “tough guy” can’t even defend himself in court and these maga pricks wanted IT for president.🤣🤣

Won’t click on a WaPo link…

Dude. You’re guilty. Man up and take your punishment

smh...arg

Fuck No!!

A jury of his peers says guilty, but when the Supreme Court says you are immune from crime.....

fuck the Republican/Catholic SCOTUS

Since this is a meaningless sentencing, what he's doing here should be seen as: "I don't want this sentencing, SCOTUS, cancel it." It's a purely authoritarian move. He has already made America his own property. Now he's ordering his employees around. Good job, Americans.

So, what did your other President elects do in the weeks before their inauguration?

After Justice Robert's scathing year-end report this week, I sincerely hope the SC will not interfere.

i work with someone like trump at the mo. relentless self absorbed whiny bitch. im looking for a new job. looking for a new country? thats harder

Trump's financiers seeing how much it will cost this time for his well placed SCOTUS yes-men to bail his sorry a#$ out of trouble yet again.

but in the position of US President, he will help them gain ever-more money and POWER...

He is already a convicted felon, just not yet sentenced. That will not change!

Imagine the outrage from the Gingrich GOP if Bill Clinton had done this.

Jack Smith should send an unredacted copy of his reports to Pro Publica, ala The Pentagon Papers.

They probably will.

The Orange Felon must be punished for his crimes.

When I hear anyone say Americas justice system is the best. I always add that money can buy

Clarence Thompson - a Supreme Court Judge of the highest integrity is all set to help Master Trump as and when Trump beckons

When did federal courts take over decisions from the state charges? But it figures he would whine his way up his system.

He's asking now. Soon he'll be telling.

‘Put up’ or ‘shut up’ time for the Roberts’ court.

The SCOTUS should not get involved.

Cannon, Thomas, and Alito are definites. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are likely. He’ll weasel out of it. Again. I guess money really does buy happiness.

And they probably will 🤬

🤗 🤣🤣🤣 They wouldn't dare‼️

I'm sure CJ Roberts has spoken to him on the phone. Taking orders like a pizza guy. "Ok, some of that, extra of that, and you want it fast, got it."

Come on! Seriously?!

He owns half of them. I have zero confidence in the Supreme Court.

if they do, we will know that we're in a world of hurt. the pessimist in me says the supreme Court well stop the sentencing.

Equal justice? The laws should apply to everyone. Where are the GOP talking heads crying about the “liberal elites” now?

Infamous Russian tsars, emperors and presidents: 1. The former guy 2. Putin 3. Stalin

Why does the former guy keep drawing attention to all the criminal activity he’s been involved in? It appears that he is seeking to polish his reputation as a criminal Russian tsar, emperor and /or president.

Yes, yes they will.

Roberts and Alito will be on Trump’s side. Clarence Thomas, of course, will wait until the check clears.

They haven’t had a visible kickback in awhile…. Not even lunch at Swamp-A-Largo. Or an hour with Melania 🤮

Alex, OFC they will for $5000

STATES' RIGHTS.

I’m sure they will.

his whole life has been one delay after another in a gambit that paid off for him

Delayed everything but gratification.

This doesn't matter. He won't show up and no one will do anything about it. I really don't know why he cares, unless it's to prove he can never be wrong.

With ALL his cases he needs the stacked illegit 6 bought and paid for Trump judges to bail him OUT AGAIN!

He often refers to them as “my judges” – he expects loyalty to him above all else, not the law, not the constitution, not years of legal precedent, only serve him…

And of course they will

How obnoxious of him.

And here we are at our Constitutional crisis.

If they can, they certainly will

“I got 3 of you your jobs. Quid pro quo. Do I need to spell it out?”

LOL, as if he could spell "quid pro quo" LOL

😂

And they will...

All he is doing is pushing the boundaries of the already INSANE decision of Presidential Immunity. If SCOTUS gets involved in a state case that’s been adjudicated by a 12 person jury and they decide in his favor because of the upcoming sentencing decision then the entire system is finished.

Unless Congress gets off its' ass and actually impeaches these assholes.

The amount of taxpayer money this man has wasted in our court system has to be approaching the 8 figure mark by now...

Oh they will.

and as we’ve learned, SCOTUS can act quickly whenever they want too.

Stop the corrupt court! 🤨

That the Supreme Court got a 6-3 extreme right-wing super majority while the Democratic candidates got more votes in 7 of the 8 presidential elections, is the reason we are where we are.

They will do anything he tells them to do, unfortunately.😡

And what is your analysis as to if they will even take this up?

This is not a government of laws. It is the government of Trump & his corrupt cronies.

And we ALL know they'll do as he asks. They are his personal protectors.

F Trump

What a waste of time and money to little purpose!

If SCOTUS acts in Trump’s favor, the US judiciary is dead.

Magic 8 ball says signs are good

I have a "Magic 8 ball" app on my computer for gits and shiggles and when I saw your post, I decided to ask it, "Will Trump actually be sentenced?" and it replied, "My sources say 'no'" There ya go

Just OWN IT you whiney bitch ass Orange Turd!

I fear they will.

“the end of the presidency as we know it.”? No, not as 'we know it', but perhaps as the defendant believes it to be. But believing in something doesn't make it real. Chutkan said it best: "Presidents are not kings".

They will. Bet on it.

On what authority??? State rights and everything. No??

🤔😡

So he called Sam Alito to help him find 11,000 votes, a perfect call.

Look at him..he's phucking wasted

Why does he care? Seriously asking does anyone have thoughts on why it matters to him?

If they even take this up, all bets are off. It would be grounds for MASSIVE demonstrations at SCOTUS.

He has win every single battle to hold him accountable. He must be sentenced.

The bastard will skip justice once again.

Can his fragile huge ego not take it??

How does SCOTUS have standing in a state case considering Trump, until 1/20, is a private citizen.

What's the problem? He bought them. Murka

The Supreme Court is the reason we're dealing with this fool.

Does anyone doubt that the corrupt Roberts court will do exactly that? There is not rule of law for Trump.

Doesn't surprise me at all. The ORANGE MONSTER knows that if the report is released, it will most definitely show him in a terrible way and he can't have that. Bypassing the Appeals Court and the Supreme Court of NY was a no-brainer for me as to what he was going to do and did.

It's a sad commentary on the reality of Trump's criminality that you can accidentally conflate his many court cases in this way. This appeal relates to his sentencing Friday in the "hush money" case, not the Special Counsel report in the stolen documents or J6 cases.

You are right, but the ORANGE MONSTER handles every CRIMINAL activity the same way. He never is held accountable for his actions whether it's Special Counsel report, stolen documents, J6 cases, or SENTENCING FOR A CRIME IN NY.

Exactly! It's like there's this one script. Like his lawyers just have a couple of Microsoft Word templates on their computer that they just replace the case number with and submit the documents. What infuriates me is that the justice system provides these loopholes for him to exploit.

Those loopholes have been there, but it takes the CORRUPT ORANGE MONSTER and his sleazebag LAWYERS to utilize them so expertly. Then the Judges that they have placed there, fulfill their wishes by their BOUGHT OFF obligation to the ORANGE MONSTER. An overhaul of our JUDICIAL SYSTEM is warranted.

Exactly. Our entire Constitutional system is full of loopholes that we didn't notice until Orange Monster and the MAGA cult in Congress and the Judiciary started exploiting every single one of them

For all those who prefer not to read fascist corporate news, here's an archived version: archive.ph/3tlkD

Spoiler: they will

I thought there were other appellate paths within NYS he had to go thru before he was able to appeal to SCOTUS on this one. Did I misunderstand something? Or is this just a hail Mary from him?

This is Trump. Established legal processes do not apply.

They will

Here’s hoping they take a pass on this appeal.

We knew that was going to happen, didn’t we?

His desperation will hurt everyone.
