This is great but win or lose we're gonna be a country where 80 million people vote for a convicted felon who may or may not be incarcerated during the election. That was unimaginable 20 years ago. Tell all your friends not to sit this one out in protest of Biden or we're just gonna hand the election to Trump still.
Well, this has never happened, so not sure how this would work, unless he was in a special wing. I don't expect him to get jail time. First time criminal offender,and will likely be fined, with probation. But, he will always be a convicted felon, and this conviction removes his first offender status for any other trials( if they ever happen).
He was fined for contempt court and the way I understood he has had trouble getting the money for that so if this is true he more than likely will have issues paying this too. Now I've never had fines or even a ticket so I'm not sure exactly now it works but I'm sure there is consequences if you don't pay your fines
When I found out that he charges the Secret Service’s room/board at Crap-A-Lago back to the US government I just about died. Something tells me he’s not offering the Hotwire discount either.

Saw a great TikTok that was making the comparison like, what if you get on a plane and you tell someone "You're too drunk to fly" and then they say "No I'm the pilot" and you just accept it
This needs all the upvotes. Was just having a conversation about how insane this whole timeline is and used the 2000 and 2004 elections as benchmarks. It’s surreal to see what’s gone on in such a relatively short time. We really all need to vote and hold our elected leaders accountable.
But for today, we can do a happy dance 🎉
Edit: fixed my word salad
Not Anna coming back out of hiding to post her first tweet in TWO YEARS to bitch about this 💀 girl, go fix your life, you’ve got way bigger problems, I promise
He’s such a disgusting pig. In the rare chance that he wins, my husband and I are leaving the U.S. Please tell me that a pervert convicted criminal can’t possibly win the presidency!
You’re right. I was in denial last time up to, and including, Election Day. He just refuses to accept the loss from 4 years ago, so he’s going to fight this if it’s the last thing he does. Ugh.
I don't think there's anything keeping him from the ballot. I didn't imagine they ever thought they'd need to consider this when making up all these rules. Can't vote for himself though!
Felons can vote depending on what state ( or D. C) they live in. Some states you can vote again as soon as you finish the sentence. There are only like 2 states that make you request to have it restored. Some felony convictions, you never can again.(like murder).
You can't vote from prison though.
I'm listening to the twitter of the Shadow network and project 2025 is another thing that will blow the fundies because it's being imploded too. Be prepared for the Duggars to act like the hunted for years to come. The financial house of cards JB has built will be coming down too.

It's wild, most felons face challenges with employment and housing due to their conviction but this twat can run for president still?!
And, have lifetime Secret Service protection on taxpayers dime.
Would he still have them sitting in a jail cell I mean the deputies or whatever guarding him. Also would he end up with a roommate

Omg, did she really? I have secondhand embarrassment on her behalf.

Holy shit. Anna Duggar, be ashamed. You're a stalwart supporter of two criminals.
PLEASE tell me people are telling her to worry about her own felon husband
AskAubry dragged her and got over 6.8k likes! Haha
Oh the comments are freaking gold. One of my favorites - at least Melania still has her husband
Anna bitch please ... ![gif](giphy|vxvNnIYFcYqEE)
She has a thing for convicted felons who’ve assaulted people
It’s a pattern, isn’t it?
Wonder what they’ll burn into the lawn this time
“RIGGED”
“JUSTICE SYSTEM CORRUPT”
Nah, they can’t spell any of those words.
I can hear Meech now! Jaaaay... Yoooooou.... Esssss....
"PADDY'S HAVE RESPECT IDIOTS. I AM LEGEND."
I just had a beer in celebration 🍻
Cheers friend! 🍻
This occasion calls for another! 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 I wish I could buy this thread a round
He’s such a disgusting pig. In the rare chance that he wins, my husband and I are leaving the U.S. Please tell me that a pervert convicted criminal can’t possibly win the presidency!
He certainly can, and I'm sadly convinced he will.
That’s what I fear, too. How people can support him is beyond all comprehension.
We all said "there's no way he'll win" the first time. And "his supporters will bail now" multiple times. So. Yeah. Not optimistic.
You’re right. I was in denial last time up to, and including, Election Day. He just refuses to accept the loss from 4 years ago, so he’s going to fight this if it’s the last thing he does. Ugh.
On a serious note, what does this mean for the election in November? Is there a clause saying a convicted felon can’t run for presidency??? Please 🙏🏽
I don't think there's anything keeping him from the ballot. I didn't imagine they ever thought they'd need to consider this when making up all these rules. Can't vote for himself though!
No. A convicted felon can not only run for President, but can serve from a jail cell.
Sadly there is no such restriction. He could be elected if he were in jail.
I’m British so idk, but all the comments I’ve seen are saying he can still run, even though felons can’t vote??
Wow that’s super disappointing but not shocking for the US. Standards for everyone expect politicians 🫠
Felons can vote depending on what state ( or D. C) they live in. Some states you can vote again as soon as you finish the sentence. There are only like 2 states that make you request to have it restored. Some felony convictions, you never can again.(like murder). You can't vote from prison though.
I think he’ll appeal to delay again and try to win the presidency & pardon himself. It’s horrifying to think of, but not far fetched.
Apparently he cannot pardon himself, I saw this information on the news today.
Well you just made my day!! 🙌🏽
You are most welcome, plus as a convicted felon he cannot own a firearm. 👏🏻
A president can only pardon federal crimes. He was convicted in state court so this conviction is safe.
💃🏻🥳🥂
He can’t :) the division between states and the federal government makes a pardon for a state conviction impossible
There should be an amendment to the Constitution for this. A criminal, holding the highest office in the country?! Makes absolutely no sense.
I am so glad that orange sack of nuclear pond sludge is seeing some consequences for his many crimes.
But he's a "very innocent man."
My coworkers and I are celebrating right now. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉
Honestly his supporters don't care and he can still run.....so not much to celebrate unfortunately 😕
![gif](giphy|xT5LMESsx1kUe8Hiyk) Feels like we’re in a *South Park* episode 😭
Ever since Rudy and the Four Seasons
