JUST IN: Donald Trump says he is ready to go to jail and won’t ask the judge to keep him out.
“I'm okay with it.”
That’s great Donald, we’re ok with it too!
As an attorney, I can tell you why these comments are significant:
Typically before sentencing, the judge will allow Trump to say why he deserves a lighter sentence and offer remorse to the court.
If Trump is poised not to ask for a lenient sentence, Merchan could be motivated to sentence him to a greater sentence.
“I said, don't, you don't beg for anything. It’s just the way it is,” Trump said.
I’m ready for Trump to go to jail. How about you?
Please don’t let these celebrities lead you to ruin your life. Cardi won’t have to flee across state lines for an abortion, or be stopped and asked for her “papers”—her kids don’t have to rely on a free lunch program to get a good meal during the summer. Her wealth and fame will protect her from any possible political outcome, but it won’t protect you.
A white woman pushed an aspiring black doctor into a lake knowing he couldn’t swim. The woman also lied to his parents saying ‘he fell into the lake’. They also watched him for 10 minutes before bystanders who did not know him intervened.
Remember, the NYPD is doing this knowing that everyone is watching and that Columbia is an Ivy League school.
Now just imagine what they do every day in neighborhoods where the press isn’t watching. Exactly.
it's so so so so crazy to have young people in this hell of a world, tell them that this is going to be -- no money, no jobs, you can't pay rent, and we're going to use your tax money for genocide -- and then punish them when they say we don't want this life
5 yrs ago today was a shooting at my kid's college. For 15 excruciating minutes, I couldn't reach her, but I finally did. Others weren't so lucky.
This selfless young man Riley gave his life to stop the shooter and save his classmates.
I'll never stop honoring his memory.
