I love his "I didn't sleep with her but also the hush money I paid her was legal" thing he's been doing. Astounding that his cultists are in so deep that works for them.

Notice how Trump dilutes and distorts the meaning of words on purpose so they don’t hit as hard when used toward him. I find it terrifying that he’s openly calling everyone a fascist. He’s being honest about his true intentions, America.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them!!!

He's not even making an argument that would be anything like what the Supreme Court would hear. They pretty much never hear "I didn't do it" arguments. In fact I've never heard of them hearing one. They hear "the law isn't fair" arguments and if he wants to argue that they should, that sets a precedent that would make them have to hear a lot of "actually I didn't do it" arguments from every two bit criminal on earth... I mean as long as the court actually cares about precedent or fairness... so when are they going to do the hearing?

no donny, cuz states rights 🤭
Nooo not like that!!!
Wouldn't it be the NY Superior Court here and probably never make it to the actual US Supreme Court?
Yeah, the Supreme Court has nothing to do with this case and can't do anything about it.

Technically the US supreme court can stick their dick in anything, there's a legal option that allows them to just cut in whenever they feel like it.
There's no regular appeals process that reaches the US federal supreme court for a New York state criminal case though.
As far as I know, the Supreme Court can't get involved in a state matter until all appeals in that state have been resolved, and even then won't take up the matter unless there is some connection to Federal law (and that connection was raised at some point in the trial by one of the parties).
But this court might invoke the ancient rite of "Because I said so" to justify letting Trump off the hook, I suppose.

This is only because how the process normally works. But if they really wanted to get involved there's not really much that could stop them
I think the Florida Supreme Court was still dealing with Bush v Gore when the Supreme Court jumped in. Although, I guess that one did have a more direct relationship to Federal law. But it was 100% bullshit, regardless.
Ah yes, Bush v Gore. I'm fairly certain that Y2K is where our current shitty timeline diverged from the good one.

This guy is the whiniest fucking baby. How is it that so many "tough guys" in the States are such big fans of this weakass soft boy. He's pathetic.
It's really easy to avoid sentencing, I've done it all my life by following one simple rule: Don't Do Crimes.
Don't Do Crimes
Whoa, that sounds pretty radical there.
Don't Do Crimes
Judges hate him for this one easy trick!
For Profit Prisons hate this one easy trick.
Because they see themselves in him and they are themselves weak and pathetic.
