So you prefer a president that is on video multiple times sniffing little girls, and his own daughter has made it public that her own father was inappropriate with her or a president that is technically not a convicted felon until sentencing which has a very good chance of being overturned and dismissed.
Well you can believe what you want about DJT but I cite two very recent examples of him jumping the gun and posting before he had all the facts just to rally up his supporters.
The fact is that inflation is eating our lunch. If people actually believe that inflation was only 9% at the peak in recent years, I have to laugh, a lot. 9% is basically another sales tax. If prices of goods and services had gone up by 9% it is essentially a double sales tax. There is no way that people would be hurting and complaining this much if that were the case. The government is cooking the books on the numbers. 2/3 of average households cannot afford an additional $600 emergency that arises. There is a term for that, it is called being broke. People are genuinely struggling in this economy. It is good to be debt free, have retirement savings, and be a cash buyer and I am very grateful indeed.
You mean the people who make up the lies fact check their own lies. Boy that is getting to the truth of the matter.
A defendant becomes "convicted" - felony or misdemeanor - the moment he/she is found guilty by jury OR enters a guilty plea, technically and in fact. The leniency shown Trump at his sentencing did not, and will never, change that. He is convicted of 34 felony counts, the verdict delivered by jury, and will carry that record the rest of his life. Your assessment of his legal status is incorrect, I . . .
In NY state you are not considered convicted until the judge imposes sentencing. So at the time I wrote the quoted post is was considered true. And there is a good chance it will still be overturned on appeal.
No. In EVERY state, when a finding of guilt by jury, by plea or by bench trial (judge only) is reached, the defendant is "convicted". The sentencing phase which follows is an entirely separate hearing, usually set for a future date so that a presentence report can be done by probation and given to the judge, defense counsel and the PA, and victim impact statements submitted to the court for consideration. Some victims choose to speak at sentencing. This procedure is uniform across the country. NY is no different. I have 31 years' experience as an Adult Probation Officer. Trust me!
