Any predictions? Anyone?

No sense of humor this evening? Rough day? Was it the eggs? Oh wait, you said you like kiddies better. I'm starting to understand.

She can rent them by the dozen in Ukraine, although the transport might be difficult just now. And she'll still have to have them fertilized ”by hand”.

Guilty verdict. Can't change that fact.

Sure you can, upon appeal.

 

[Lisa558]

Not fair is only your opinion. Nothing but.

And the opinion of most voters, as well, who saw through the North Korean tactics the Dems used against their opponent - and elected him to the presidency.

Guilty verdict. Can't change that fact.

Actually, you can, as you shall see.

** psst, he means white people.

I know JB Stoner; you are still pushing the lie that all black folks are criminals.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

I just hope our Trumpy doesn't bust a vessel over this before his inauguration. We need him to make America great again

MAWA.

You think FOX NEWS can sway the court? Heck, they could not even win their own $787 Million Dollar case and in another case, said the pronouncement of their news staff are not to be taken seriously. That is why people refer to them as Faux News.

You mean "people, like you".....

I know JB Stoner; you are still pushing the lie that all black folks are criminals.

Are you denying that blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime, relative to their numbers?

Until you admit there is a big problem with crime in the ghettos, among the black underclass, you won’t begin to solve it.

Are you denying that whites commit MORE crime than anyone in this country? What is the number one factor behind crime?

Spiteful at the minimum.

Lawfare is what it really has been, all these cases against Trump have been lawfare and nothing more.

​

In what appears to be a bid to ensure that President-elect Trump enters office as a formally convicted felon, Judge Juan Merchan has denied Trump’s post-trial motions and proposes to sentence him next Friday, January 10.​

​

The bait for Trump to agree to this is that Judge Merchan is signaling that the sentence will be a conditional discharge – meaning the president-elect would face no prison time and no post-sentence monitoring (such as probation). Moreover, because the imposition of sentence and entry of the judgment would end the proceedings in the trial court, Trump would be free to commence his appeal of what would be 34 felony convictions on the charge of business-records falsification.​

​

I do not believe Trump will agree to this; instead, I suspect he will seek an immediate appeal on the immunity claims that Merchan conclusively rejected in today’s 18-page opinion and order. It is not surprising that Merchan denied Trump’s immunity claims; he had already ruled against Trump on this point in an opinion issued on December 16.​

​

In prior proceedings, Manhattan’s elected progressive Democratic district attorney, Alvin Bragg, appeared to acknowledge that Trump would likely have a right to appeal an immunity ruling against him prior to being sentenced. That is no doubt why, rather than push for a sentencing date, Bragg’s prosecutors proposed that the case be frozen – held in abeyance while Trump served his four-year presidential term. In that scenario, the case would theoretically to resume in 2029 (when Trump would be 82-years-old) with final presentencing rulings, the imposition of sentence and entry of the judgment of conviction, and the appeal.​

​

In Friday afternoon’s ruling, Merchan rejected that proposal, claiming that he had a responsibility to sentence Trump prior to inauguration, lest what the judge frames as an important public interest in getting the sentencing done were undermined.​

​

It is not clear to me that there is any such public interest. There seems, instead, to be the interest of Merchan – an activist Democrat who contributed to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign against Trump in violation of state judicial ethics rules – to ensure that Trump is branded a convicted felon while there is still opportunity, pre-inauguration, to make that happen.​

​

Nevertheless, Merchan appears to acknowledge that Trump still has cards to play. The opinion states, for example:​

​

"This Court must sentence Defendant within a reasonable time following verdict; and Defendant must be permitted to avail himself of every available appeal, a path he has made clear he intends to pursue but which only becomes fully available upon sentencing. [Emphasis added.]"​

​

Put aside how precious it is for this demonstrably hostile judge to express his deeply held concerns about the vindication of Trump’s appellate rights. Merchan must interject the word "fully" because, while Trump can only bring his complete appeal based on all claims of error arising out of the proceedings only after sentencing, he should be able to bring a partial appeal now targeted solely at Merchan’s immunity ruling. ​

ANDREW McCARTHY: Only one spiteful group wants to see Trump sentenced before inauguration

Clearly, there is no public clamor to see Trump sentenced prior to taking the nation’s highest office. There is, instead, a spiteful New York progressive Democratic interest in it.

What a mess. America has elected a joke president and has become a joke itself.

Are you denying that whites commit MORE crime than anyone in this country? What is the number one factor behind crime?

That’s because whites are the majority. But blacks are more likely to commit crime.

Hard to attribute crime to just a single factor. It’s a combination of poverty, growing up in a home and environment that models poor values, and lack of enforcement and punishment.

What do YOU think is the number one factor for crime?

Yes. I am.....What you are trying to do there is not look at the amount of crime as a percentage of the population, but rather raw numbers....Whites making up the vast majority of people in the US, raw numbers would produce the lie you want to carry forward...But, to get a true picture of crime in the US, you must look at different segments of the population, ie; black, white, aisian, hispanic, etc....While the black population comprises 13% of the overall population, they commit more than 40% of the overall crime.....You don't want to address that....

I know right? Don't worry, Biden will be out in mere days.....
