91 criminal charges don’t mean shit when the government refuses to prosecute, and let’s you slide right into the most powerful position in the country, where you’ll receive complete immunity.
Yeah due process takes time. If we did away with all the appeals available to him he’d already be on trial. But you can’t eliminate the appeals process for Trump without eliminating it for everyone.
Thats due process… we can argue about how long prosecution has taken given the overwhelming evidence for a trial, but I don’t think there’s much an arguement that the one with criminal charges wouldn’t want to do away with due process, he’s quite literally stated such.
The excessive delay is my and many other people’s issue. It seems as if they’re hoping something else like his death or election will prevent them from having to set the precedent of a former president getting convicted of a crime. I would never recommend we forego due process.
Its brain-numbing to think there’s people who think the criminal cases are “opinions getting in the way of politics” and disregard entirely the poltical process… while asserting their own opinions onto how the law should work. In a way I think that’s how trump has pushed the envelope so far, Im personally in disbelief that his case wasnt closed ehh maybe 2 years ago, especially in the optics of “being too close to the election”
Anyway that’s my rant, I will go ahead and wish for politcal peace for the all of us
Did you not understand the point I was making? Leveling charges don’t mean anything when they’re not actually prosecuted. It has been 4 years. He’s running for a position that will grant him complete immunity if he wins. None of those charges will mean anything at all if he becomes president again. He has faced effectively zero consequences for his blatant disregard of the law, his violations of the Constitution, his insurrection, and his treason.
The trials haven’t commenced. If he wins the election they will never conclude and there will be no prosecution. Calling me an idiot doesn’t change the facts.

Yeah we really need to get rid of all of that due process stuff and throw people in prison based on how we feel.
Though it’s possible there may be some flaws in having an authoritarian government that has that power.
Definitely not, but they do need to actually start the trials in less than half a decade.

Appeals come after conviction, not before trial starts.
Right now the DC case is on hold because Trump is appealing to the Supreme court over the Presidential immunity thing.
And there have been many appeals before the other trials Trump is facing.

What do you think criminal charges are?
He’s literally being prosecuted for 91 felonies by governments at the state and federal level.
> Charges 91 felony counts
> some idiot on Lenny says you aren’t charging anything
