That won’t matter.

Merchan really fucked things up. the POS is always escaping punishment

Hoping to take the wind out of the sails for any violent reaction... (especially if he [hopefully] loses)...

edit: sails, not sales... Geebus, I hate spell check.

I know, I know, it is a letdown for most of us right now, but it is the wiser, can I say, more judicious approach. Besides, we can take some level of glee knowing the stress of having sentencing hanging over his head for a bit longer is real. The man is obviously stressing out in the extreme. Let's be OK with letting that torture continue for a few extra weeks, then it's likely 'adios asshole!'

there won’t be any reason to stay the sentencing until the appeal is done and TSF is stupid enough to have his celebration for the J6 felons, allowing Merchan to tack on more time due to convicted felon violations.

**So, Merchants denies to stay.
**Appeals court denies to stay
**SCOTUS doesn’t hear case (I don’t put anything past the corrupt conservatives but …)

Sentenced November 26- report to the prison in January 27 2025.

Celebrate!!

Once again, Donald gets away with a big crime, just as the wealthy always do in this country.

They wouldn’t postpone sentencing for someone because they are getting married, or having a baby, or any other big life event.

This is the judge preparing to make a sentence based on the outcome of a federal election — if Trump wins, he’s getting a slap on the wrist.

More at the narrative from the quoted sources.

I took it as a snark at the universe. Which I fully endorse.

If Judge Merchan is delaying a sentence of incarceration until after the election, I can only
conclude he's another judge who is living in a fantasy land where he's protected from anything
that goes on in the real world by magic spells like the law.

If Trump is re-installed, it's MERCHAN that is going to jail, NY judge never mind that.

appointed to the Supreme Court.

that's all

After this ruling today I am convinced that Donald Trump is above the law. It pisses me off, but there is nothing I can do about it so I'll just accept it and move on.

SCOTUS would never give him immunity

is not the same as the fascists on the SC, not at all.

either way it's reading tea leaves. we cannot know what will happen until it does.

would be a travesty of justice. Michael Cohen went to prison for the same exact crime.

I do not envy this judge and admire his restraint and fidelity to the law during these trying times.

If it was just a fine, it would be no big deal. He’s probably leaning towards a couple of months in the slammer.

a gamble to run out the clock till Jack Smiths surprise revelation with the Judge Chutkan case?
