One down: NY Court if Appeals refuses to delay Trump’s sentencing. Now it’s up to SCOTUS. (Justice Alito should play no role given his call with Trump but almost certainly will.) www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I don’t understand the legal reasoning. How can a defendant appeal against their own sentencing? Isn’t that a bit absurd?

Let’s let’s see what the Supreme Court is going to do my guess is they’re going to do anything. Trump wants because Trump‘s the leader and they’re the little puppets It’s a sad sad day if that happens

Please share video about the incidence of Trump's threats to Greenland and Denmark. It is by Danish Navy commander/war analyst Anders Puch Nielsen. He sums up the situation very well. Situation is serious. Russia threatened US this morning due to Trump's actions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlK3...

How can it even matter? They're not going to sentence him to prison, FFS. AT MOST they will give him some kind of suspended sentence, and he's 80 years old, with a 4-year Get Out of Jail Free card in his pocket. He won't serve a day. There is no such thing as justice in this country for his ilk.

It's because of all the baggage that comes w/ being a convicted & sentenced felon brings. In some states you can't have a business w/ a liquor license. He can't own a gun. He can't vote in some states. Some countries prohibit felons from traveling there.
