It wouldn’t be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?

    Aren’t we showing bias by giving criminals extra time because they decided to run a bullshit political campaign to subvert the law

    Showing bias by claiming its an effort to not show bias is fucking insanity.

      Wait till after election. -If Harris wins they claim she’s locking up her opponent so he can’t investigate the votes being wrong -If Trump wins they riot if Trump gets sentenced on anything claiming they are trying to lock him up because he won.

      His election has and should have nothing to do with it.

      They are begging for riots it seems

    Shouldn’t being a convicted felon affect one’s candidacy?

    Should the US government also pay candidates to have aesthetic surgeries? Being ugly might affect their candidacy!

    “My name is Stabby McKiller! Yes, I clearly stabbed four people in that home, and yes, I was convicted! BUT, I am also running for president! For total fairness, I demand my sentencing be delayed, so my sentence does not sway voter opinion!”

    What fucking bullshit. THIS is bias.

    Justice DENIED. AGAIN.

    There’s no impropriety about sending a convicted felon to prison just before an election. He has already been convicted. The fact that he is the nominee is irrelevant. RNC should have thought about that before they picked a guy they knew would likely end up behind bars for all the criminal acts he committed.

    Now Trump will say he “won” the case, just like he did with the classified documents case. Corrupt judges all the way down.

      To be fair, would you want to be the judge that threw him in jail when the military comes to break him out following an election victory? Looking into America from the outside, people are hedging their bets with possible dictatorship.

        If he gets elected into the White House, that’s going to happen anyway. His entire thing is revenge, and these fuckers are submitting prematurely.

          There are far more positions with power over people than there are good people mentaly equiped to fill them. Your comment is incredibly naive.

    And when he’s elected, he’ll change the law in his favour. I know, he can’t do everything he wishes, but he could probably make it better for himself. VOTE!
