President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I think the precedent here would be Agnew, and nolo contendere.

 

I mean, I want to agree with this, but the feds have made no indication that they're going to charge/indict this guy on anything — certainly in the near term.

 

No one wants to be the first DA to indict a former president.

Now that it's done - even in a smallbore, mail fraud, hush money, misappropriation of campaign funds sort of way - it might encourage other prosecutors to bring charges for other, more substantial, crimes.

It might turn out to be nothing.

Or it might open the floodgates.

Who knows?

 

For fuck's sake.

"INDICT TRUMP! DO SOMETHING!!!!"

*Trump indicted on 34 counts*

"NOT LIKE THAT!!!!"

What in the actual fuck is the matter with some of you?

 

A lot. We waste our time on this fucking message board.

 

LOL

 

We should be going out to get a FUCKING HAIRCUT.

 

Well, as we've all been told millions of times in teevee dramas over the years, a nolo contendere plea is theoretically equivalent to a conviction for sentencing purposes, but does not constitute an admission of guilt.

And of course a VP is not a POTUS.

 

Or get a massage, or therapy, or go for a walk. Something.

Because whatever compels someone to act that negatively doesn't seem like a healthy long-term strategy.

 

Goes totally against the image Trump has built for himself, but it's a thought. He's going to go down (no double entendre intended) swinging.

 

Followed by riblets for lunch?
