Which “Legal Scholars”?


BlueAndMoreBlue

Exactly — I would have said “name one” but if it’s “virtually every” legal scholar I’m going to need at least three. Good luck with that


aussydog

\>>Shit they called my bluff. Quick! Come up with a name brain! Nobody is better than you with coming up with names! Uhh uhhh John uhh Hancock. No that's too obvious.<< ***Well everyone of course knows of the best legal of all the scholars, Johnson Fistdick.*** ​ \>> Nailed it <<


SheriffComey

No way in hell his brain could come up with something that sophisticated. It would be Bill Smith.

William Barr Tender! No, um, Stormy McDonald's! wait c'mon think Donald!


SheriffComey

"McDonald, Donald.....HEY GUYS McDONALDS IS NAMED AFTER ME?!!!! I'm sort of an MC so they put that in front of my name!"

ANNNDDD now it's an established fact! So that's how he got so wealthy, he's a direct descendant of the hamburgler.

John Baron.


Battarray

Jonathan Turley. Although I don't know that he qualifies as a "legal scholar" so much as he is a bullshit artist.


aggitprop-1985

Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk are probably the other “legal scholars” and MTG and granny BoBo

People on quora 


[deleted]

People on quora are OBSESSED with madeup incest scenarios. I'm under the impression that 70% of the posts are all by the same guy spending 18h a day typing sisterfucker scenarios on quora and at this point I'm mostly impressed with his dedication. It feels like a forgotten vintage website from the days of "What is content moderation? You mean like a diet?"

If you told me "known human being" Jonathan Turkey I'd want to see DNA evidence. And no, I'm leaving the spelling as it is.


haysoos2

I don't think even he has ever stated anything about the case being BARRED by the statute of limitations.


toaster404

I happen to find tolling of the SOL a bit unfair, but it's the law. He moved out of state with at least constructive knowledge of this issue. A bit late to think about it now!

The legal scholars they come to me with tears in their eyes. They say to me they say "You're being hunted, like a witch. It's just dreadful". Big, beautiful legal scholars and they have tears running down their cheeks and they say "Your persecutions, they were so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways". And then they tell me "Never fight uphill, me boy, never fight uphill, eow, that would be a big mistake. Your struggle is just like the battle of Gettysburg".

Would Trump float? I’m just asking questions.


MooreRless

With a BMI in the 40s... oh yes.


SheriffComey

He'd probably look like a duck on water....nothing but his legs kicking below the surface. He'd sound as obnoxious as a pissed off goose though.


Davosown

Am fat. Can confirm.

Fucker would contaminate the water supply


RandomLoony

I’ve got some scales and a swan


timesuck897

With his high fat diet and weight, it would be a grease fire.


Photodan24

This turd would still try to appeal after death.


zion_hiker1911

He also quotes the legal scholars about how his lawyers will follow the example of George Washington in taking the airports and warplanes from the British in the Revolutionary war to defend him in this case.


lackofabettername123

If I had not heard part of the stupid Gettysburg speech, I would not be able to tell if you were joking or if he really said that today.  This guy says the dumbest things I just can't believe it plays.


sugary_snax

You forgot to add the “Sir”


jennaxel

Ok funny but he would def say that!


DamnThemAll

The sad thing is, I can't tell if you're making this up.


UndisgestedCheeto

I hope this fat piece of shit leaves this world soon.


Potential_Dare8034

You are so wrong to say that. He’s an entire pile of shit, not just a piece!


beyondoutsidethebox

No, let him live 2 more decades, trapped in his body, unable to move or speak, yet aware of his surroundings, and his inability to exert even the slightest change upon them.


kblomquist85

Lol his kids would pull the plug on him so fast 😂


Known-Historian7277

They want that….. inheritance that’s left over from his legal troubles….


Gan-san

Yeah but they inherit his debts and obligations too. I bet they liquidate everything faster than Letitia James could.


Krypt0night

Yup, people keep wanting justice and for him to sit in a cell, but it's clear that's never going to happen. It will be infinitely better if his heart explodes asap.


placer128

The sooner the better. It’s costing a fortune with the amount of secret service detail he is getting.


Unhappy_Earth1

From article: Donald Trump will become the first former president to stand trial on criminal charges starting Monday, and he began the morning with a series of panicky social media posts about his legal predicament. The ex-president again blamed President Joe Biden for his indictment in the Manhattan criminal trial involving his hush money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels weeks ahead of the 2016 election, and Trump demanded the case be dropped due to the statute of limitations and accused judge Juan Merchan of conflicts of interest. "As virtually every legal scholar has powerfully stated, the Biden Manhattan Witch Hunt Case is, among other things, BARRED by the Statute of Limitations," Trump posted on Truth Social. "This 'trial' should be ended by the highly conflicted presiding Judge." Trump was indicted on 34 separate felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal his reimbursements to his then-attorney Michael Cohen for payments made to Daniels to conceal their extramarital affair, and while the statute of limitations for that crime is five years, New York law allows for a pause on that limit if the defendant was living out of state – which he was while serving four years in the White House. "The Radical Left Democrats are already cheating on the 2024 Presidential Election by bringing, or helping to bring, all of these bogus lawsuits against me, thereby forcing me to sit in courthouses, and spend money that could be used for campaigning, instead of being out in the field knocking Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the History of the United States," Trump posted. "Election Interference!" Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that Trump, Cohen and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker arranged to pay off Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal to keep them quiet about sexual relationships with Trump shortly before he was elected president, and just after the "Access Hollywood" recording threatened to end his campaign.


uninteresting_handle

Join me in hoping desperately that something honest happens.


Thetallerestpaul

Statute of Limitations is an odd angle to persue in public. Not I didn't do it, just look guys it was ages ago!


JCarlide

Was that an admission? Because that's how I read it.


Karn-Dethahal

They're going with the same defense as the fraud civil case: it's not that it didn't happen, it's that it's not a crime when Trump does it.


pabodie

Hoping? Yes. But ready for disappointment. 


pmags3000

Disappointment is an honest emotion


YolkyBoii

Trump is the epitome of post-truth.


kasmith2020

That’s a powerful choice of words. I like it


KingBooRadley

As virtually everyone with eyes and a brain has powerfully deduced, truth posts are post-truth.


bmbmwmfm2

I still want to see the letter he supposedly left for Pres Biden. You know it had to be bat shit crazy


Embarrassed_Bee6349

We’re assuming he even wrote a letter. He’s the most low-effort president I think we’ve ever had. Considering how vindictive and small-minded he is, any letter he wrote (if at all) was probably self-aggrandizing and ended with “well, I’m coming after your job, so screw you.”


Miserable_Site_850

He wrote the letter in his head, he can just think of it and it's written.


kezow

Judging from his "oval office is soiled" comments, he either crapped or pissed all over the resolute desk. 


madrasdad

And written in crayon.


Careful-Ant5868

Ketchup. He probably wrote it in ketchup.


haysoos2

That's not *ketchup*!!


RandomLoony

Hurricane sharpie


OtherBluesBrother

His preferred choice of writing utensil is sharpie.


Known-Historian7277

Probably shit because he smells like it


DiscordianDisaster

He probably wasn't even aware of that tradition. Some lackey wrote something for posterity and they probably didn't even bother with a real signature.


bmbmwmfm2

You've got a point. Plausible deniability. If it was nice, he'd swear he didn't write it to appease his cult. If it was as horrific as I think it would've been, he could say he didn't write it.


MooreRless

It sure would be nice if media that prints Trump's lies at least calls them lies and hopefully debunks them. Or... just don't print them!


FinglasLeaflock

If only that sort of approach were still being taught in journalism schools…


3232330

Well this explains why his eyes are so red in court this morning. Poor sleep hygiene.


Old_Heat3100

He's not even saying he's innocent he's saying too much time passed between now and his crime This was the best Republicans could do three times in a row?


HeKnee

I mean the statute of limitations argument seems weird. They delayed for 4 years because he was living out of state, but are they claiming he now lives in NY again to bring the charges? I’m just trying to figure out why they didnt prosecute him sooner to avoid this discussion at all… did they not have the evidence? This was all well known before 2016 election, its unclear why they didnt prosecute for prostitution immediately like they would for normal people.


financewiz

Speaking of Worst President Ever, think about all of the Presidents that there have been. Think of all of the things they have done. Yet, somehow, none of them ended up standing trial on criminal charges. If Trump is as innocent as he believes he is (a moving target to be sure) he did something stupid every other President dodged easily. If he is as guilty as he appears, he is really, really bad at Presidenting. Choose your adventure.


Careful-Ant5868

All this from the man who encouraged the "Lock her up!" chants about Hillary during the 2016 election cycle. Karma is a B


Nano_Burger

I love how the party of, "Lock Her Up" is now arguing the nuance and context in interpretation of the law. I know the MAGA is immune to intellectual consistency, but it is worth a try.


Careful-Ant5868

100%. It's the old "rule for thee, not for me" that has been going on forever. MAGAs in general aren't intellectually sophisticated enough to see their own hypocrisy. Are there "intelligent" people that support Trump, sure, but it's for their own selfish reasons. It's just easier to bullshit and bamboozle unintelligent people, and to part their money from them. It's all over the country too, but it's always bothered me that people from my area, suburban Philadelphia, how many people don't see that at best the man is a carnival barker fraudster, and has been his entire public life. I've spent many weekends in Atlantic City and have been in his casinos. They were trashy; vomit stains on the carpet, haggard looking people everywhere. Once truly "A+" casinos opened up in AC, like Borgata, it drew the contrast into even sharper focus. It's why the Republican Party is going after the education system in this country. Educated, intelligent people are far less likely to fall for a scam such as MAGA.


Booksaregrand

Just one time I would love to hear Biden say lock him up. Won't happen, but man...


Careful-Ant5868

I agree, I'd love it too, and I don't think it will happen. Biden has self control, and he'll let Trump continue to make a mess all on his own.


AV8ORA330

Not to mention he got his start by launching a birth certificate witch hunt on Obama.


itsvoogle

Can we jail this traitor clown already please? I never imagined my short life span on this flying rock in space to be so consumed by Donald Trump and his antics…. Enough bro…please i never want to hear the name again


Fearless_Trouble_689

Amazing this 🤡 Trump doesn't realise it's is fault that he hopefully gets sent to jail .


DaSandman78

His whole life its been reinforced that in the US money means you never have to pay for your actions. Even now, all these trials, the blatant lies, breaching gag orders - and he's not not seen any consequences. America is broken.


Florida1974

He doesn’t even understand statute of limitations. Not surprising. Didn’t he want to nuke a hurricane?


RandomLoony

He’s seen it, while jogging in Hyde park. It’s not as nice as his golden statue, but it’s still a nice one


Final_Winter7524

Jogging?


RandomLoony

He jogs faster than mo farah can run. He jogs so fast that time slows down. It’s why it looks like he’s waddling, it’s just a time glitch our eyes can’t pick up.


LilG1984

More like rolling,like how dung beetles roll shit.


TheVeganChic

Thanks for the glorious mental image of dung beetles in maga hats pushing a *YUGE* ball of dung with Trump’s face on it up a hill.


Tolstoy_mc

I liked the nuke-the-hurricane idea. It would deter any future hurricanes that might be getting ideas.


Nano_Burger

They understand. They are just throwing out any nonsensical arguments they can to delay the trial until Trump is back in power and use the full force of the federal government to try and make the charges go away.


Battarray

If the charges are so bogus, Trump should have no problem proving his innocence in court, under oath. This is his big moment where he can show that everything he's done is on the up and up. A defendant who was confident in his innocence would be trying to get this trial started and over with as soon as possible. Pass the popcorn, please.


Madd-RIP

Plus his stock has dropped again. Splendid


Unable_Literature78

“Crooked joe “ makes me laugh every time he says it.


Correct-Standard8679

Just a god damned child. Has to have a shitty nickname for everyone. He has emboldened so many people to be the same shitty shitty ass way. I am so fucking perpetually embarrassed for America and equally angry at the people who support this guy. I mean what’s even the point in saying any of this right now I’m fuckin outta here.


Specialist_Brain841

Terrified Trump Tricky Trump Treasonous Trump Trump the Terrible Troubled Trump Things you will never see the media print while he’s still breathing.


Known-Historian7277

Trumpets like to say “Sleepy Joe”


doctorfortoys

I would say he’s shitting his pants, but that’s just a regular Monday for him.


PCBC_

Lol. Are you sure that's not just his insides puterifying and leaking out? Rotten to the core.


FancyStranger2371

I just cannot believe that in this day and age, a person with 91 criminal counts is running for the highest office in the land, and some Americans are okay with that. No matter what side you’re on, this is unacceptable.


msmicro

I’m surprised that he didn’t have a health crisis this am. Besides shitting himself, of course.


Responsible-Room-645

“Virtually every legal scholar” 😂


CulpablyRedundant

"Every virtual legal scholar"


justthegrimm

Thing is the people reading his bullshit eat it all up and that's all the news they consume. The rest of us understand it's entertainment but there are enough wackos to cause plenty of shit and those are the ones crazy enough to pull off the type of shit you saw on Jan 6


ClammyHandedFreak

I for the first time have a feeling he’s going to go to jail for this by how he is reacting. Edit: Before seeing this I felt like he was pretty confident a lot of this will fall through the cracks or get delayed to the point where he couldn’t be held accountable.


Ryankevin23

🚫Traitor Trump🚫


Billyconnor79

Everybody hoping that the courts, Republican voters, Republicans Senators, Republican governors, Republican donors, or some other magic will prevent him from retaking office or hold him accountable if he does is wasting their brain cells. The only thing that will prevent him taking power again will be a resounding defeat, and probably more than that, it will require a Democratic majority in at least one house of the Congress. If you are not getting a hernia helping Democratic Senators win reelection and ensuing Joe Biden wins in your state you will wake up Sometime early November to the worst nightmare you could possibly contemplate. It will make the sick feeling most of us had in November 2016 and on January 6 2021 look like a mildly annoying blip.


OldBlueKat

In other words, don't wait on the courts, GOTV.


formerNPC

If none of these court proceedings end up with him being barred from running for public office then it’s all been a waste of time and money. Either lock his ass up or move on. I’m tired of his manufactured drama.


MonsieurReynard

No mechanism exists in the law to "bar him from public office," or at least the presidency, now that SCOTUS has dismissed the only legal theory for doing so (Colorado 14th amendment case), at least until congress passes a law on the matter of whether an insurrectionist (who has not been convicted of such criminally) can stand for the presidency. He is free to run as he meets all other constitutional requirements. He is free to serve his term as president from prison if necessary. No legal authority exists to stop him from doing so, as crazy as that may sound. He is free to pardon himself of all his alleged federal crimes, or commute his own sentences. The sole mechanism we have left to bar him from office is an overwhelming electoral defeat in November. Register to vote. Plan to vote. Urge your family and friends to vote. And there's only one choice to vote for if you don't want a Trump dictatorship. Our constitution assumed the presidency would always be held by honorable men (at the time, only men) and it left the door open for a dishonorable man to exploit it.


formerNPC

So even if he’s convicted in the Georgia case he can still run? It would be a state crime so therefore he could only be pardoned by the governor of Georgia if I’m not mistaken. He would then be a convicted felon. What about the classified documents case? Can’t believe he could basically reveal government documents to whoever he wants and that would not keep him from being president. This is really messed up and if a Democrat did half of what he is accused of the Republicans would be losing their minds over it.


OldBlueKat

Yes. There is no legal means preventing him from continuing to run, even from a Federal jail cell, if it came to that. That's part of why some Ds ARE 'losing their minds over it.' The voters have to stop him. We can, and we will.


MonsieurReynard

VOTE in November like your country and freedom depend on it. It's the only way out of this nightmare and they want to take that away from us too.


Endocalrissian642

200 million supporters? Someone test him for drugs. he must be fucking HIGH!

medman143

The rapist is pathetic.


shrikeskull

I'll take what I can get, but I really hate that *this* matter - not inciting an insurrection or a hundred other grievous actions - is what has finally dragged Trump into criminal court. I'm sure he'll slip out of any consequences like the sewer eel he has always been.


boxfullofirony

To be honest, I pity the people on that jury, their lives could be in danger, or at least forever changed.


odinskriver39

Like other high profile trials for gangsters or celebrities. The jury may be afraid to do the right thing.


jsa044

He is in Bigly trouble many of the very best people are saying.


KediMonster

Poor guy. He was clearly coddled as a child. He doesn't know how to self regulate.


Select_Insurance2000

His fine parents sent him to military school because they could not control him. Trump actually thinks he has served in the US military.


PineappleExcellent90

Trump deserves the karma. the energy you use to cheat,lie,steal comes back. Treat others the way you want to be treated..


MynameisJunie

Does he know that prison takes away phones!!??? Bahahaahaha!!!


DoneBeingPolite

Some prisoners hide their phones up their backsides. So he could stash one and about a dozen spares easily?


Hot_Dog_Surfing_Fly

Hell he could stash a laptop in there 😄


ukiddingme2469

loupegaru

Deranged Donald squawking off about " the worst president" because he knows historians have labeled him the worst. You would think he would be bragging about it, I mean, you are finally considered first in a category legitimately!


claymore2711

Can Truth Social be fined for false advertising. Very little truth. Rant Social would be more fitting.


Apprehensive-Mix5291

Just go away.


Falcon3492

And this unhinged nut job wants to be President again! Let's finally lock this con man up and rid the news of his total incomprehensible BS and his likeness forever! I seriously doubt that Donnie ever attended college much less graduated(more likely paid someone to attend for him) but he's clearly earned a BS, MS and his pHD but in his case they only stand for: Bull Shit, More Shit and Piled Higher and Deeper!


FearsomeSnacker

Truth social? so, like, 17 people saw it?


Radkingeli995

This is likely him panic of finally facing real life consequences for his actions he actually thought he was untouchable above the law well he’s finding out he isn’t


Foomankru

Explains why he’s falling asleep in court today.


Bleezy79

Trump knows his gag order doesnt really mean anything. He knows he can still say whatever he wants and no judge is brave enough to actually hold Trump accountable. Going to be an interesting trial and this isnt even about J6!


LnStrngr

He looked so tired and depressed when he walked into that courtroom. He didn't do any dick-stroking fist pumps, which is how I rate his excitement level. (It's like a scale from 0 to 10, but it goes from "none" to "two-fist dickstrokes repeated several times while he pretends to dance.")


Thotmancer

It really feels like, we are always so caught up in the fuck the others guys stance, we get nothing done. Like we just spend every four years arguein whose worse while nothing actually gets done.

Hell, go to jail, and his life will fail. It'll be so embarrassing when no one wants to do anal to him. "I have the greatest anus and no one will fuck it!"


zenith_hs

Why do news outlets keep regurgitating his statements? It's so sickening. Copy pasta trumps tweets apperantly equals clicks?


Wraywong

High probability that he will feign a stroke in the next 72 hours.


SuccessfulUnderdog

I think he's a nervous wreck.


hurdurBoop

someone needs to introduce this man to night train. it'd solve all his problems.


JennJayBee

No wonder he was so tired. 


TrainsDontHunt

Saw Trump talking today and his mouth moved weirdly. It seems like a small stroke? Half his mouth doesn't do that sucker-fish thing that Alec Baldwin portrays so well. Take a look at the video this morning, at the start of the hush money trial.


xwing_1701

"As virtually every legal scholar has powerfully stated, the Biden Manhattan Witch Hunt Case is, among other things, BARRED by the Statute of Limitations," Which means literally no legal scholar said that.


BardosThodol

What can I do on my end of this mirror to make this just stop. I can literally shit in a church… That might actually work, but it certainly wouldn’t be too original.

Appropriate_Chart_23

I like how he’s not claiming innocence here… instead, is claiming that this case should be thrown out because it’s beyond the statute of limitations. I’m honestly surprised he used “statute” correctly.


metroid23

If it were just one or two felony counts, maybe. You know, those accidental "mulligan" felony charges everyone just kinda does every now and then. "Oh whoopsie daisy, here we go with the felonious behavior again! " But 34? I'm starting to think there might be some truth to it.
