      3 of the 4 trials are currently scheduled before the election. The New York and Georgia cases he will also have 0 control over.

        That’s a little more comforting to hear. If you commit a crime, you shouldn’t be able to get away with it. Still don’t like the fact that it’s still possible…

      There’s no way Americans would elect…

      I can’t even finish it with a straight face. There are enough absolute fucking ijits in the US to send Trump back to the White House.

      Honestly if he is elected then that is the ultimate trial by jury. While It would be democratic in the purest form, ignoring problems with popular vote etc, it would also be very telling us the US reelected this shit stain. Almost like they would deserve that government.

      The more unfair issue is the rest of the world that didn’t elect him often is part of the fallout.
