    the judge added that the state’s leniency in the case “been the subject of much anger and has at times diminished the public’s perception of the criminal justice system”.

    Mmm. Yes.

          The Supreme Court will rule that by becoming a us president, a person gains absolution for all their crimes, and cannot be charged with any crimes while in office.

          So, taking over the government by force and killing people who disagree with you is actually not a crime at the moment. Hurry up Joe!!!

            This is just Doom posting. The opinion was terrible and a major threat to democracy, but Robert specifically calls out a candidate running for presidency as an example of a “private act.”

      To me it looks like the judge wants something to be seen. Wealthy-and-connected privilege? Maybe even these documents show how deep into the known names this hole runs? Without the ambiguity of “the only documented thing is a dinner”

      But I’m not an expert on the issue and judges in general, so maybe I’m misinterpreting something

      I mean it really has been no secret at all that trump was close friends with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and at the very least was aware of what was going on for some time. More than likely he participated in some of the nefarious and weird ass crap going on at their properties and while that is certainly not proven, there sure is a lot of damning evidence (also his response when asked if he would release the Epstein files if elected a few weeks ago was hilarious lol). And people just simply don’t care. Like not even a little. At this point if it came out that trump was actually the one behind it all and he just had Epstein be the fall guy or something I still don’t think it would change anything at all.

    Epstein took his own life in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial over federal sex-trafficking charges.

    Odd how the BBC would just lie like that.

            Lol classic bot. But yes I’m pretty scriptable and I long for a world where I don’t need to keep reminding people that the parties are not the same. Even Biden in a coma would be better than a perfectly lucid Trump. In fact I would posit that the more lucid Trump is, the worse it is to vote for him. So, again, go back to your christofascist friends

    Worth noting that these transcripts detail Trump forcing 12 year olds to act out lesbian sex while he watched, then give him sloppy head. And apparently when the BJ was kinda toothy (cuz, ya know, they’re 12,) he got angry and physical.

    But sure, let’s elect him as king of the United States.
