Somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't Trump a convicted felon who has not yet been sentenced?

He was sentenced. The sentence was effectively a judicial shrug.
A mere formality. He can just go ask the Supreme Court to declare that he’s not a felon or something. Does it make any sense? No, but does any of it?
They just need to vote quickly on what would in the best interest of the country.
Vote A: The Supreme Court needs a private jet
Vote B: The Supreme Court needs a luxury yacht
As soon as that vote is made, they can start negotiations with the Trump administration on a plea deal.
He was sentenced to President. America is not a serious country.
How about you start with the criminals who have 34 felony convictions?
Many of them were born in our country. So where do they go? Labor death camps.
Or they come from countries which don't recognize dual citizenship, so if they have US citizenship, they no longer have it in their original country.
Making somebody stateless is a crime by UN law.
Wonderful a new crime for the list!
Australia! Just like old times.
Wait where do I get my free ticket to a better country?
Yeah nah, last I checked we weren't a US colony .. or anyone's for that matter, so that shits not gonna float. That said, our last group of Right Wing arseholes negotiated their own island concentration camp he'll holes for refugees .. use those.
Fine. But this time we use gene drive on Emus and Huntsman's instead of guns.
They're trying to make being trans a felony called "gender fraud". Just throwing that out there.
And it'll expand to those with "Trump derangement syndrome".
The US is fucked.
He also thinks it's a crime to report anything negative about him.
Genuinely one of the only things keeping me going is that the when the cultural backlash happens and mark my words it will happen, it's gonna be so massive and sweeping that these fucking ghouls and anyone who supports them will be in a living hell. I'm talking post Jan 6th x10 levels of hate.
As a US citizen who is losing hope, I'd love to hear any evidence that a cultural backlash will happen. I don't see it, anywhere. Even people who are as against this administration as me have simply given up and left the country already or making plans to leave the country. There are no warriors.
Hell, you would think that after the shitshow that Reagan had caused during his presidency, they'd be a lot more furore against his legacy right about now. Forty years on, this "cultural backlash" didn't happen. People don't shun and hate him and his supporters nearly as much as they ought to. It's a complete and utter joke.
I'm hoping this is extinction behavior from the right.
It's unlikely.
Jan 6th x10 levels of hate
So that’d be … what, January 60th is February 29th or march 1st depending on year.
What’s notable about those days?
It will not happen. Americans have given up already.
Amerika Uber Alles!
This is essentially what the royals did back in trinity days in Ireland
That’s how we got Australia.
It’s not an “idea” it’s the plan.
Britain had the same idea and that's how we got Australia. Which indigenous peoples does Trump intend to doom with this idea? Israel is already getting the US's pedophiles.
They’re the worst of the worst criminals. Trans and gay, right? Let’s just pardon the child rapist, J6ers, and high-traffic drug dealers.
People say I got nothing to worry about, but I guess they'll realize when shit hits the fan. Some of us know just from the smell of the room. If only they weren't so blind and ignorant.
man every news headline regarding this idiot in 2025 seems like a Black Mirror episode
Hmm just got to figure out a place to put them....
Does France still own Madagascar?
Or is there some country we are going to war with we can demand them to surrender land for peace, and then plan to export the people to?
I'm actually betting Gaza as slave labor to build his new city he wants with Bibi, but he wants them to win first.
Isnt he guilty of a bit north of 3 and a half dozen felonies?
Shit or get off the pot.
Thank goodness it is only an idea.
