Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can't wait for him to get the "felon" label officially applied, spend 2 weeks in jail, then get elected while in jail, pardon himself, send the judge and jury to the border camps, then the liberals to cry and do nothing about it.

New heights of !., most likely coming sadness

What if we got the libs to roll out the gui-trans just this one time.........

It's a state case. The president doesn't have pardon power over state cases.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

That's what the law says but for the last 30 years "what are you gonna fucking do about it" has worked every time against dems

The rules are made up over here in America.

The Constitution grants the president the power to pardon "offenses against the United States". An offense that violates state law, but not federal law, is an offense against that state rather than an offense against the United States; however, the Supreme Court has never ruled on this matter or in the President's power to grant a habeas corpus petition for a state offense where it has been denied by a federal court.

So it's never been tested in court, the constitution doesn't very explicitly deny the power... Not great odds with the current supreme court

so-far doesn't have pardon power over state cases so far...

2 non consecutive weeks in jail. Write this down

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

I bet he gets an epstein level of confinement only has be there on week nights

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Served under house arrest, but not Mar-a-lago. The beach boy cabana house...pool toy closet / filter room that hasn't been cleaned in 5 years.

maybe someone can ghost write an autobiography for him while he's in jail, they could call it something catchy like My Struggle

[–] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 2 points 1 year ago

I'd be surprised if he spends even an hour in jail.
