She looks happy

N0body , in DOJ seizes dozens of domains used in Russian influence campaigns targeting swing states

I can only imagine the reaction of the Founding Fathers to the CENSORING of the FREEZE PEACH of websites run by a foreign intelligence service, that are being used to spread disinformation and disrupt American elections in support of a traitorous candidate who works with and/or for said foreign intelligence service to undermine our national security. I can just hear them asking, “What is a website?” and “How did this happen in the first place? What have you idiots done with our country?”

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

The intent here is probably to avoid MAGA riots before the election.

ryrybang ,

That’s not a very good reason or justification to delay.

If that worries the justice system, then Trump can never be sentenced. He has cult followers for life.

I believe it is a good enough reason to delay sentencing.

Am I happy with it? Ofc not. But I do understand that nobody wants the orange’s followers rioting and murdering people in the run-up to the election.

Let the election happen and then all the focus can be on his sentencing (25+ years is my wish).

Steve ,

Government capitulation to threats or concerns of a violent mob, is always bad idea. It only serves to embolden the mob.

@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

This is, in fact, avoiding the threats and violent mob. And that is not always a bad thing.

Have you never walked away from a confrontation because the cost wasn’t worth it?

takeda ,

Why wait until 2 weeks after election? Just to be sure to not give jail time if he wins?

I’m fucking tired of this two tiered justice system.

ricecake ,

My bet would be that it’s to avoid influencing the election rather than riots.

Whichever sentence he gives, it has the potential to make him more likely to win, thereby undermining the sentence.

Personally, I’d like to see justice happen in a way that can be blind to that outside context, but we don’t live in that world.

I don’t like it, but I get it.

it’s to avoid influencing the election

He’s already been found guilty and nobody seems to care one way or the other. What’s sentencing going to change?

ricecake ,

A prison sentence looks way more like political suppression than just “guilty but still speaking publicly”.

Still don’t think it was the right thing to do, but I can see why a judge who has otherwise seemed same and nonpartisan would be inclined to make that choice.

He’s not getting a prison sentence. The judge in the trial straight up stated he did not want to put Trump in prison during the trial. He’ll get a fine, which he’ll be able to pay off with kickbacks from his friends, and the it’ll be back to business as usual.

I can see why a judge who has otherwise seemed same and nonpartisan

The judge is anything but nonpartisan. He’s very obviously conscious of what his career is going to look like under either administration, and he’s playing very carefully so as not to overly offend either party leadership.

squirrelwithnut ,

So, in other words, the courts are bowing to terrorists. Great precedent.

Tudsamfa ,

A few years back, I would have said that they are trying to uphold the image of democracy. “Vote for Harris, a guy you’ve never heard of or this criminal, your choice” isn’t a good look… sad that we ended up here anyway.

Probably also trying to avoid the headache of “what happens when a candidate is sent to prison”. That’s either going to be a lot of work for you or someone you know higher up, who isn’t going to like that paperwork, especially such a high profile case.

fine_sandy_bottom , in The father of the Georgia school shooting suspect has been arrested and charged, authorities say | CNN

The timeline the teen’s father provided to authorities would put the gun purchase months after authorities first contacted Gray and his family to investigate school shooting threats made online.

Dad sounds like a real idiot.

RizzRustbolt , in Texas Gov. Spent $221 Million on Migrant Busing 'Political Stunt'

Think of how many gun sanctuaries they could have built with that money.

dogslayeggs , in Judge Delays Trump’s Sentencing Until Nov. 26, After Election Day

It doesn’t keep the voters in the dark about anything. It further cements the fact that nobody with any power to do so is willing to actually hold Trump accountable for the many crimes he has committed. It has been 4 fucking years since he has been president and 8 fucking years since this specific crime was committed. They should have sentenced him immediately after conviction like any normal convicted criminal. I guarantee if he gets elected he won’t get sentenced, so why postpone sentencing?

BlameThePeacock ,

The sentencing will definitely happen, it’s a state level case and he’s already been found guilty. There’s nothing almost anyone can do to stop the process from continuing at this point.

Alexstarfire ,

He could get a pardon from the governor, right?

takeda ,

You bet that if he wins, it won’t. Notice the strategically selected November 18, just 2 weeks after to be sure it is certain.

I know if it state, but if he wins it will be delayed or it will be also in the wrist. If delayed and he gets actual jail time, he will use military to stop it.

Anyway since Merchan did this delay it is now certain that what the sentence is will depend on the election.

They showing us clearly that the law only applies the plebs.

ricecake ,

It is actually normal for sentencing to take a while after conviction.

bradorsomething , in New panic alarm system at Georgia H.S. saved lives during shooting, officials say. Advocates want it nationwide.

I want a 5-day shooting forecast on the news.

Alexstarfire ,

You know, if you had an LLM processing social media posts you could probably get some type of forecast. It would be pretty inaccurate but it’d be something.

modifier , in In Michigan, an ‘Unhinged Werewolf’ Will Make It Clear Who Voted

I love everything about this. Great contest.

Maggoty , in Father of Georgia school shooting suspect told investigators he purchased gun as holiday present for son, sources say

After they had been contacted by investigators over concerns the kid wanted to do a school shooting.

This is why red flag laws need to be a thing.

The buried lede-

The timeline the teen’s father provided to authorities would put the gun purchase months after authorities first contacted Gray and his family to investigate school shooting threats made online.

Buddahriffic ,

Sounds like accessory to murder to me.

Maggoty ,

Oh absolutely. Throw that fucker in jail. He’s more responsible than the kid.

TheRealJefe ,

Funny that, Colin Gray, father of Colt (the shooter) has been officially charged

jaggedrobotpubes , in Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank

I guess getting genocided makes it more likely to commit one yourself.

Maybe Palestinians will be the genocidal cunts in the year 2104 if this pattern holds. Weird to think about.

alerts automatically went out to law enforcement officers, who responded and ended the shooting rampage within minutes, according to Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith and Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey.

Bitch-ass move.

Agreed. Fucking cowards.

This entire process is so demoralizing watching a billionaire dodge justice.

I look forward to Kamala Harris restating her unconditional commitment to Israel’s “right to defend itself.”
