Supposedly it’s the “felon” part that doesn’t apply until sentencing, but you’re right that I don’t know enough about this to argue about it. Not that I should be arguing for Trump anyways, even as devil’s advocate.
What? This is basic us civics that is easily searchable. Edit it is not some esoteric, legalese hidden thing. To suggest otherwise is to do so as a bad actor
You’re arguing over trivial semantics, my guy. What’s the point? He’s a felon, there was a conviction, and he is awaiting sentencing. Hence CONVICTED FELON.
I don’t know where you’re getting that though. He is technically and really a convicted felon. You can say it and he can’t sue you (yet. No promises if he wins and declares himself god-king)
I heard it from a legal scholar on a podcast the other day who was very clear it’s a small but real technicality, but unfortunately i can’t find anything because it’s pages and pages of headlines announcing he’s the first convicted felon president.
Either way it doesn’t matter. I just thought it was interesting. I only hope he gets a dozen more convictions lol dude’s a criminal and he deserves that and more.
I agree! And I’ve considered saying it a few times, but I don’t really understand the reasoning behind it and I figured better to not bother than to “um, akchually” this one. 😅
On what are you basing that belief? I saw the post with the link to a podcast, as far as I’m concerned that’s an opinion; I’m looking for legal text stating that a felony conviction doesn’t count until sentencing.
Technically not a convicted felon until sentencing is executed (I believe) but it still makes me smile to read.
Misinformation.
No, he’s right, it’s just pointless
He’s not right. You are lying. Why? It’s easy to look up.
By the letter of the definition, trump has been CONVICTED of the crimes discussed.
What is awaiting, is his SENTENCING.

You may be mistaken that he is lying. You may also be lying about it. I think the charitable thing would be to not assume you’re lying.

Conviction occurs when someone is found guilty
He has been convicted but technically he is not a “a convicted felon” yet. It’s just a technicality. He’s a convicted felon to me already lol

Read the rest of the thread. I’d hardly call it arguing lol dude’s a crook

God-King-Emperor*, you fucking snowflake peasant.
You got me, I’m both accustomed to a rough peasant life and fragile to the touch like a snowflake. It feels nice to finally be understood

LegalEagle said the same thing in the Nebula version of their video on the subject, but it’s a hair that really isn’t worth splitting.
I just found it interesting 🤷♂️

You know someone is TOTALLY INNOCENT when you have to Argue Semantics and Legal Definitions to decide whether or not there a Felon.
