4 more years? Nah. 6 months before they turf him.

This'll be a Vance presidency.

Real Vanity Fair image, in case you were curious like me. From this article, about a quarter of the way down (on mobile at least): https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/donald-trump-wins-presidential-election-2024?srsltid=AfmBOoqLRfHo70JfvoeZaBIJqUpWHxf0nO_UKHUatbC_cgIqMWF3_dU9

I really wished what little labor protections we had could have lasted my lifetime.

Assuming...you know...Biden will lose his record for oldest president ever and the gerontocracy continues.

Gotta think 2029 brings the biggest drop in age for a long time, JFK was 26 years younger than Eisenhower. We could beat it with a 56 year old in 2029. Vance would break that record if by election or...you know...but I think Whitmer would be 56 exactly. Wes Moore, Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro would all break it.

wonder how long itll be before he vacates all his convictions and suit penalties

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

While he can't legally vacate his state felony convictions it will either go:

  • The judge gives him a slap on the wrist to appear neutral, because liberals love taking the high road and shooting themselves in the dick.
  • Trump tries and SCOTUS gives him a free pass because it is 'part of his duties as president' to not go to jail or whatever fucking excuse.

If the judge is brave enough to actually put him in prison trump will just ignore it.

This is the guy who never pays his business partners. Who is going to make him go to prison? Someone immune to criminal prosecution and in charge of the military surrounded by yes men in control of every branch of government.

The same guy who has avoided all consequences for anything he has ever done up to now and was allowed to run again. The sentencing date was set specifically after the election to see the results first.

I would prefer the judge actually sentenced him to jail even uf it gets ignored, but I expect that to play a part in them taking it down to a slap on the wrist.

They should throw the book at him and lock him in solitary (because gen pop is too dangerous for a President Elect).

Yeah, SCOTUS will bail him out saying the President has to government, but he's not President for 2 more months and the conviction is for crimes prior to his guest presidency, so Executive immunity doesn't count. Let him rot for 2 months.
