"Will have to"

Lmao no he doesn't. What happens if he doesn't do it? And what happens if he owns more guns? More convictions with zero consequences? Why would he care?

Can't own a gun, but controlling the nukes is just fine. Makes sense.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago

Cant own a gun, but has power to launch nukes, and command an army...

And let THAT be a LESSON to you! If you ALSO want to get away with a Crime all you need to do is THREATEN the LIFE of the Judge's FAMILY!

I knew he would never face any consequences

Setting aside that it's Donald Trump I think it's messed up that non-violent felons, or any felon really, lose rights just because they're felons. Why should anyone lose their right to vote or keep a firearm if neither of those things had anything to do with their crimes?

There's actually a really good reason to deny prisoners the vote.

Imagine you're a political party in control of the government. You can pass laws that target people who would not vote for you, then convict them of those crimes so they can't vote against you!

It do be like that.

Sad, but true.

If he refuses, ask Stormy to provide the sample.

...do three strikes laws apply to simultaneous convictions?..

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

The US justice system isn't even a joke any more.

"Why does this blood sample smell like hamberders?!"

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Knowing Trump, it’ll be a little sippie cup of dried semen.
