They’ve always hated the other… it’s just that who the other is has changed (sort of… obviously African Americans have been on the republican shit list since before Reagan).
Unlike most of Trump’s boasts, this one may be true, but not in a way that reflects well on him. Perhaps he’s right that Putin “will do that for me, but not for anyone else.” But that is because Putin rightly considers Trump an ally in whose success he is invested.
What’s worse is that, by openly signaling to Putin that he does not want Gershkovich to be freed before the election, he is destroying whatever chances may exist to secure his release before then. If Gershkovich goes free prior to the election, Trump would look foolish, and Trump understands perfectly well Putin does not want that to happen.
collusion: noun (Law) An agreement between two or more persons to defraud a person of his rights, by the forms of law, or to obtain an object forbidden by law.
I obviously support freedom for Gershkovich, and I think Trump is an asshole, putting it lightly. However I’d like to ask the editor/publisher of this article what in the hell they were thinking layering white text over a black&white halftone photo? Fuck’s sake, accessibility much?
I don’t know where you’re getting that though. He is technically and really a convicted felon. You can say it and he can’t sue you (yet. No promises if he wins and declares himself god-king)
I heard it from a legal scholar on a podcast the other day who was very clear it’s a small but real technicality, but unfortunately i can’t find anything because it’s pages and pages of headlines announcing he’s the first convicted felon president.
Either way it doesn’t matter. I just thought it was interesting. I only hope he gets a dozen more convictions lol dude’s a criminal and he deserves that and more.
I agree! And I’ve considered saying it a few times, but I don’t really understand the reasoning behind it and I figured better to not bother than to “um, akchually” this one. 😅
You’re arguing over trivial semantics, my guy. What’s the point? He’s a felon, there was a conviction, and he is awaiting sentencing. Hence CONVICTED FELON.
What? This is basic us civics that is easily searchable. Edit it is not some esoteric, legalese hidden thing. To suggest otherwise is to do so as a bad actor
Supposedly it’s the “felon” part that doesn’t apply until sentencing, but you’re right that I don’t know enough about this to argue about it. Not that I should be arguing for Trump anyways, even as devil’s advocate.
On what are you basing that belief? I saw the post with the link to a podcast, as far as I’m concerned that’s an opinion; I’m looking for legal text stating that a felony conviction doesn’t count until sentencing.
