The judge overseeing Donald J. Trump’s criminal case in Manhattan postponed his sentencing until after Election Day, a significant victory for the former president as he seeks to overturn his conviction and win back the White House.
In a ruling on Friday, the judge, Juan M. Merchan, rescheduled the sentencing for Nov. 26. He had previously planned to hand down Mr. Trump’s punishment on Sept. 18, just seven weeks before Election Day, when Mr. Trump will face off against Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency.
While the decision will avert a courtroom spectacle in the campaign’s final stretch, the delay itself could still affect the election, keeping voters in the dark about whether the Republican presidential nominee will eventually spend time behind bars.
Everyone going “This is for the best, that way he can’t easily appeal” are on lethal doses of copium. This man is never going to see the inside of a prison.
I’m rooting for a blood clot, embolism or aneurysm instead.
Fuck him, he doesn’t deserve a quick way out.
He doesn’t, but how much time would you spend futilely trying to torment the tapeworm inside your intestines before simply swallowing the vermicide and be done with it?
He doesn’t, but we do deserve to have him gone in an instant.
What if you could have that and him in prison too?
