45 does not care if he is a convicted felon, only that he does not serve jail time.. This will only embolden him.nt mitch96 Jan 10 #1

He cares very much, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to postpone the sentencing Ocelot II Jan 10 #3

He did all that for sport. He is an asshole. Klarkashton Jan 10 #5

"If he didn't care he wouldn't be ranting about it".I think he rants about anything that attacks him. It's in his nature mitch96 Jan 10 #6

It was procedurally significant, though, because even though no punishment was imposed, Ocelot II Jan 10 #2

But why does he care? bluesbassman Jan 10 #4

That's the DOJ - Federal law. bluesbassman Jan 10 #22

It says "United States practice", not Federal. It would say the latter it was the latter, bc DoJ is, you know, Federal.n Bernardo de La Paz Jan 10 #25

"United states" in the legal context often means specifically the federal government unblock Jan 10 #28

Joke of a crimimal justice system in this country and I for one will never participate again. Fuck em. Comfortably_Numb Jan 10 #16

No. Judge Merchan didn't "merely conclude a proceeding." He sentenced the jury-convicted defendant. ancianita Jan 10 #17

Get back to me when ANY of those things happen to TSF. bluesbassman Jan 10 #24

And not one of them will enforce it against His orange majesty. orangecrush Jan 10 #33

Excuse me, but that very impressive list of lost rights, is 100% null an d void the as soon as he is officially "sworn msfiddlestix Jan 10 #26

Yes Merchan was just officially saying goodbye to Trump and ending the proceedings. Irish_Dem Jan 10 #18

There was a sentencing. It was one with no penalty, but it was a sentencing, Ocelot II Jan 10 #19

I am speaking in psychological terms, not legalese. Irish_Dem Jan 10 #31

There was a sentencing, just one with no penalty. TomSlick Jan 10 #21

I am talking psychology and reality. Irish_Dem Jan 10 #30

Ah, but now we're in my world. TomSlick Jan 10 #36

Merchan: [protections] did not reduce the seriousness of the crimes or erase the jury's verdict. CoopersDad Jan 10 #23
