So he was convicted. Big honking deal

Hang on… had federal guidelines. I don’t know, but I imagine there are. I’m having a hard time finding any house arrest guidelines for NY state.

The same way that the Mueller report exonerated him, according to Trump at least.

Only when Rump is behind me and when the Heinz ketchup is in plastic bottles.

So I can squirt him in the face.

"Hey, you lard-assed orange bastard… guess what I am now… "

Oh, I’m sure there are plenty of potential MAGA mistresses out there. It’s not like Trump particularly cares about remaining faithful.

It’s possible that it’s not an option in that state. (I have no idea either way, but there’s no reason a state has to authorize such a thing).

There is apparently house arrest in New York: NYC Threatens “Worst Landlord” With House Arrest (therealdeal.com)

If a federal court overturns a state conviction, it’s too late anyway. And how are people supposed to react? Be depressed, because they know this won’t stick? Why bother with the trial, then?

Then what’s the point of any of this? Discussing, campaigning, donating, voting? There’s no other possible outcome than a Trump victory under any circumstance. Even if Biden got a ceasefire tomorrow, it wouldn’t matter. Israel could break it on a whim at any time before August, it doesn’t bring back anyone already dead, and even if somehow every single “extremist” were completely satisfied, right wing agitators could just create unrest like they did with the Floyd protests.

Or Hamas could.

Good point. But I don’t think the “left” would blame Biden if Hamas broke the deal.

Sure, but since we’re talking about those specifically “on the left,” if Hamas were the ones to make the first move, it’d still be theoretically possible to keep their (the American voters’) favor with a properly measured response by Israel.

Also ninja’ed above.

I’m interacting with a great many self-described “left” college students who would blame Biden if Hamas broke a deal.

St Petersburg has US campuses?

But my understanding is he’d have to have any potential visitors to home confinement vetted and approved first. Not a complete bar on hanky-panky but makes it more difficult.

He is about to find out he is no longer master over his own life. The Court owns him now.

It’s going to be quite the education. And I do happen to think it’s a big honking deal.

That man can’t do much to any woman.

Too fat, too gross, tiny hands, too self-absorbed.

I’m not gonna say “too old” because I believe men in decent health and access to some aides, and with the correct attitude can do as much as they like.

There will be ladies who would go to Trump. He’s a fool if he takes that on.
Or a bigger fool.
Gold diggers will always seek out this type of man.

I don’t think that’s a big concern as long as Big Mac’s and diet Coke are available.

Not. Enough. Money. In. The. Universe. Ugh!

Yeah, I can’t push my imagination that far.

Has anyone else had the words Big fat hairy deal go through their heads?

I don’t want to. My mental health is important to me.

I think it goes without saying that (hopefully) no one here would.
