Criminal Judge Merchan "Sentences" Trump to "Unconditional Discharge"

Thank God it's Friday! This has been a long week. I've been low-grade sick all week and am looking forward to just relaxing.

How about you? Any plans?

He made sure he got Trump sentenced so that the left's goal of calling him a "convicted felon" would be achieve.

But he sentenced him to nothing.

President-elect Donald Trump has been sentenced to an "unconditional discharge" over his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The sentence imposes no fines, probation, or jail time, with Trump, set to regain presidential immunity after his inauguration, calling the case an "embarrassment" for New York's judicial system.

Trump's sentencing took place virtually, with the president-elect appearing from Florida alongside his attorney Todd Blanche, whom he has chosen as deputy attorney general. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted the case, was present in the New York courtroom.

But did he clear this tweet with the CIA like he clears his "reportage"?

34 felonies with no jail time or fines. That's a fireable offense gor cause.

Also, every felon can now appeal their sentence as unfair.

Not everything. He'll always be known as Felon-in-Chief. the rest of the world will never let us forget this. I hope they taunt the crap out of him.

He will also be 2 time elected President and commander in chief. The US is in deep trouble.

Being a convicted felon hinders him not at all. Hell, the slimeball is fundraising off his conviction!

If I could, I'd cross the street to avoid America. So ashamed of the criminal element, the failure of the judicial system, the death of equality under the law.

No Fines? WTF? What a piece of garbage. Did Cohen serve like 3 years for the same crime and Trump is the boss, so his punishment should be worse than that?

Hope Hicks testified at his trial. Her testimony was minor but she worked in the White House which will give the Supreme Court an excuse to overturn the conviction.

Then he will be tried again! Next time there will be no hindrance of his office to stop the maximum penalty. This will hang over his head until the day he dies.

122 This was a curveball. Merchan could have imposed some kind of punishment or sentence short of prison that would have made the "Trump is convicted felon" meme easier to make. This is what I think all of us were expecting when Merchan pushed forward with this.

But what Merchan did was basically exonerate Trump, or at least expose what an entire sham this all was. It allowed Trump to say what he said in his comment posted above. Overall, this "sentence" is a big win for Trump.

I think what happened was the Dumocrap powerbrokers decided that this whole witchhunt backfired on them badly. It only made Trump stronger, and hungrier for revenge. The powerbrokers wanted to clear the decks of the stench. Merchan is nothing if not a good party whore. He was told what to do, and he did it.

Sherlock Holmes purists *really* don't like Elementary, but I loved it. The show had an interesting take on all the Holmes characters, even Moriarty. While the Cumberbatch series had some singularly outstanding episodes (A Scandal In Belgravia was probably the best one in the entire series), it really crapped the bed toward the end of its run. Elementary, on the other hand, I found to be fairly consistent in its quality.

183 I think what happened was the Dumocrap powerbrokers decided that this whole witchhunt backfired on them badly.

I think that Merchan is terrified of what may happen to him, and this was his version of an olive branch.

I agree, but think it was larger than him. He would never make any ruling that wasn't pre-approved by the powerbrokers. Judges in NYC are elected, which in practice means the party chooses the candidates and those candidates are elected by the overwhelmingly Democrap voters. Merchan's entire fate and future are in the hands of the powerbrokers. He would never cross them.

While the Cumberbatch series had some singularly outstanding episodes (A Scandal In Belgravia was probably the best one in the entire series), it really crapped the bed toward the end of its run. Elementary, on the other hand, I found to be fairly consistent in its quality.

Yes, Jonny Lee Miller is excellent!!

If you want to get more Sherlock-ception going, check out The National Theatre's production of Frankenstein, directed by Danny Boyle. Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch switched off playing the doctor and the monster on different nights. It's an amazing case study in the choices actors make for a role, and it was, weirdly wnough, done using two actors known for their modern Sherlock Holmes roles.

Benedict studied patients in hospitals with severe injuries, to create his monster. Jonny had just had a kid, and he was inspired at how his new baby explored and discovered the world; he took that innocence and twisted it for his monster. Fascinating to see.

National Theatre filmed the play, and used to bring out both versions of the show in movie theaters around Halloween. You might also be able to buy or stream it.

They demonstrated that they don’t care about judicial restraint or the equal application of the law.

Overturning Chevron is a benefit but these elitists actively work against our side. They proved it to me with their disgusting rulings after the 2020 election and again yesterday.

297 >>> This tendency now to paint Holmes as a sociopath or as a high-functioning autistic annoys the hell out of me. Doyle's Holmes was a successful man, a highly placed fellow in Victorian society, and perfectly capable of interacting in a normal fashion with the people he met as part of his work.

The way to keep Holmes fresh is to allow different interpretations, even odd ones. We live in a very "sociopaths are just dreamy and misunderstood antiheroes!" time. The great Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone had the most idiotic, bumbling Watson as a foil for Holmes' greatness. I really like the modern reinvented interpretations of Watson, whether it's Martin Freeman or Lucy Liu, as young, smart, wounded military vets/doctors with PTSD or trauma, and working with Holmes is cathartic for their healing process.

I'm sure both characters will be reimagined for new audiences. As long as the core of the characters is the same, I'm all for it.

I agree. SCOTUS consists of three liberals (Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan), three conservatives (Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch) and three right-leaning swingers (ACB, Kavanaugh and Roberts). I actually think that is a good mix for SCOTUS. There may be a period (like now) where it's better to have a solid 6-3 to roll back the Warren excesses that Rehnquist was unable to fully complete, but in normal times this 3-3-3 mix is one that is good for the country.

I’m not convinced either of these are wins for the right. I think abortion is murder and thankfully it’s illegal in my state. However, it’s pretty easy for women seeking an abortion to drive a couple of hours to a state where it is legal.

Meanwhile, it seems everywhere it’s been put to a vote the majority have come out in favor of abortion, even in so-called conservative states. Not good.

As for Chevron, I remain skeptical. It was bad law, but I think we’re likely to see Federal judges overriding executive branch agencies with left-wing nonsense. The majority of judges are left-wing. We’ll get some crap like a Hawaiian judge banning drilling in ANWR because muh climate.

332 If it hasn't been noted, under common law a felony was such a severe offense to the people that the only punishment was death.

Now tell me, what is the offense to the public, that is so great, that 34 felonies results in ... nothing?

Hell, name another crime you can be convicted of 34 times and receive zero punishment.

PS: that the judge took into consideration that Trump will be President in 9 days is itself grounds to overturn the conviction as the judge considered factors and evidence not presented at trial in rendering the sentence.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at January 10, 2025 12:57 PM (7+f8Q)

333 I think this decision actually is in Trumps favor, as it closes this chapter and and allows for the appeal, otherwise, these dickbags would have postponed sentencing until Trump left office and then throw the book at him.

I'm no attorney, but it seems inappropriate for SCOTUS to step in on an emergency basis on this ruling, instead of letting things work through the slower, more traditional appeals process. What irreparable harm does Trump face if this sentence is imposed? Nothing, as far as I can see.

If it were going to stop him from taking office, prevent him from seeing classified information, etc, or if the sentence tried to lock him up, I could see the issue, but as is...doesn't seem like an emergency appeal/injunction is needed.

Do y'all run a humidifier, or even just keep a bowl of water near your heat sources? It's probably the humidity in these places that relieves your nasal issues. Heating houses in the winter dries out the nasal passages something awful, and makes them more hospitable to viruses, etc. It's a big part of why people get sick when they fly, btw.

I agree. SCOTUS consists of three liberals (Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan), three conservatives (Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch) and three right-leaning swingers (ACB, Kavanaugh and Roberts). I actually think that is a good mix for SCOTUS. There may be a period (like now) where it's better to have a solid 6-3 to roll back the Warren excesses that Rehnquist was unable to fully complete, but in normal times this 3-3-3 mix is one that is good for the country.
Posted by: Darrell Harris at January 10, 2025 12:53 PM (PrPcQ)
________

I'd rather see a solid 6-3 in our favor, but otherwise I agree. I think overall the court has been better for us than we give it credit for. Yes, we lost some we should have won. But we won some truly monster appeals that, at least in theory, gutted the leftist establishment we've been fighting for decades. We're not undefeated, but we have a winning record.

Economics is a wonderful field, but most of what you need to know is tied to the simple but powerful concept of supply and demand curves. Once "Economists" stray too far from them, they might as well be discussing *theology* rather than economics.

420 Yesterday my wife was watching some reality TV show trash called The Traitors. It's hosted by Alan Cumming. The host is FLAMBOYANTLY, FLAMINGLY gay. He frequently wears super gay outfits like this:

http://tiny.cc/ho15001

I was doing my own thing, and I looked up and Cumming was wearing an outfit that made him look like Darkwing Duck, but gayer.

Here's what Darkwing Duck looks like:
http://tiny.cc/5p15001

I remarked in wonder to my wife that I was impressed with how the costumers for the show managed to come up with so many different super gay outfits for the host. I got a scolding for saying that, thinking like that, and how she doesn't think about people or outfits that way. She then warned me against saying things like that in front of our son.

I'm a bit salty about it. The dude's outfits are super gay, and I don't feel bad about noticing.
