Justice DENIED. AGAIN.

There's no impropriety about sending a convicted felon to prison just before an election. He has already been convicted. The fact that he is the nominee is irrelevant. RNC should have thought about that before they picked a guy they knew would likely end up behind bars for all the criminal acts he committed.

Now Trump will say he "won" the case, just like he did with the classified documents case. Corrupt judges all the way down.

This is an astounding level of bullshit even from a country that gives its full throated support to anyone with a net worth in the 7 figures or greater.

what the fuck, he was convicted, who gives a flying shit about his fucking candidacy.

This isn't a verdict, it is sentencing. He has already been found guilty. If the sentence matches what others have gotten for the same crimes, there is no bias.

By failing to do so, he has at best delayed justice, and if Trump should win, has essentially nullified the jury's verdict.

This feels reminiscent of Camu's "The Guest." The judge was given a job to do, and by waiting until the hard decision solves itself without his involvement, now all sides will feel this judge is a traitor.

Pathetic.

I'm stating it right now. I am officially running for President in the 2024, 2028, 2032, and 2036 elections. Therefore, to avoid the appearance of impropriety and not show political bias, the criminal court system cannot send me to jail until after the 2036 election, regardless of what crimes I commit or am convicted of in the mean time. The crimes I commit between now and then are irrelevant. I mean, you can convict me of those crimes if you'd like. You just can't punish me for it because I'm a Presidential Candidate under the Trump standard set forth by this judge.

This act of "not showing bias" goes to show the exact bias that the entire court system continues to give to Trump: giving him special privileges that exactly zero other people in this country would have extended to them in the same situation. And in one fell swoop, Merchan shows that he's absolutely no better than the rest of them; when push comes to shove, every single one of them will go out of their way to avoid holding Trump accountable for anything, all the while wondering why he keeps doing it.

He's doing it because it works. He's doing it because you let him. He's doing it because you are unwilling to do anything to stop him.

And he's going to keep doing it because you continue to let him win. Fuck this judge and fuck every other judge who continues to rule that Trump gets special treatment as if it's some kind of fucking birthright.

Sounds like a fuckton of bias to me.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Not show bias, but demonstrate extreme bias.

Merchan has put the onus on the electorate. We, the American electorate must assure that 11/26 comes AND trump the citizen, unemployed by the government in any office, is sentenced for his felonious crime, for which he was convicted in May of 2024. This is the only way in which justice will be served.

What a crock of fucking shit. We all knew this was coming. Once again, this little cockroach has escaped the consequences of his actions, and it surprises nobody at this point. Fuck you Merchan, you traitorous fucking coward..

It's a good thing all he did was be found Guilty of a TON of Felonies and then put Judge Merchan's daughter in LIFE THREATENING DANGER! It's a good thing he wasn't a BLACK MAN selling Cigarettes! That would ACTUALLY be BAD!

That’s bullshit. Sentence the asshole now. He’ll flee the country otherwise

Such unmitigated fermented fucking bullshit. The courts are an absolute disgrace.

Were going to not show bias by being overwhelmingly biased towards this one person.

"Justice delayed is justice denied"

According to Model Standards for State Trial Courts, 75% of felony dispositions are to be resolved within 90 days, 90% within 180 days, and 98% within 365 days.

Trump was indicted March 30, 2023 and was arraigned on April 4, 2023. That means we are at 18 months now. With this decision it will be nearly 21 months.

Neutrality only helps the fascist

It's wild how much the slowness of the judicial system distorts society. Rich people delay forever and evade punishment...this was a crime from 2016, 8 years ago, he was found guilty in May and won't even get his sentence until late November, let alone start serving it.

But, this is also a cause of some of the major issues at the Southern border. The immigration system is so bogged down that it can't process the volume, judges are doing bulk decisions with seconds reading each case, people are being released into the US until their case can be heard which can be a long time, and that process is so politically toxic that both parties have switched to flatly illegal methods of rejecting legal asylum seekers or other legal immigrants.

I'm not a legal expert but can we get some proposals to speed this all up? Do we just dump resources at it, get more judges so they can have fewer cases? Change the laws? Something needs to happen here.

Nope, it’s smart. Leaving sentencing until after the election also keeps the Supreme Court out of it before the election. You can bet your boots they would have fast-tracked any appeal and nullified the sentence somehow before the election.

That is showing bias.

In an effort to not show bias they monumentally fucking failed. Not showing bias would mean following the fucking law regardless of who the person was or what their agenda was.

Gift link giving everybody access. You can edit this into the original post.

Narrator: This showed bias.

Showing bias by claiming its an effort to not show bias is fucking insanity.

Ma'am we know he ~~raped~~ you...sorry, sexually assaulted you. But we have to be bias to him. He might be President again. That is above ~~rape~~ sexual assault.

Aren't we showing bias by giving criminals extra time because they decided to run a bullshit political campaign to subvert the law

"In attempt to not show bias the courts yet again show bias in favor of bending over backwards to accommodate Trump..."

In an effort to not serve justice, in other words.

"My name is Stabby McKiller! Yes, I clearly stabbed four people in that home, and yes, I was convicted! BUT, I am also running for president! For total fairness, I demand my sentencing be delayed, so my sentence does not sway voter opinion!"

What fucking bullshit. THIS is bias.

Shower of bastards

Welp, when he loses, hopefully they throw the book at him, and then he runs to Russia, proving once and for all what he really is.

In an effort to not show bias, we are giving incredible bias to Trump that no one else would get.

He will continue to shit all over the world and get away with it. Absolute insanity. Anyone else on the street would get put away tomorrow and forever.

Yeah sorry, you cant send me to prison for anything cause it effects my chance at my job. Please wait till my job interview is over, thanks.

Justice delayed is justice denied. This country is well and truly fucked.

Damn big bias showing there trumpette

How dumb is the judge to just now figure out that, oh, there's a presidential election in 2 months ... This has been an issue since the conviction.
