That mugshot of his is classic. Based on the article, 13 felony counts were charged against him. In our country, the Philippines, this isn't something new. There have been ex-presidents that have been detained due to their past administration but yeah, this isn't about our country.
Anyway, based on what I've searched about Trump's case. A felony charge could go behind bars for a year so x13 with that, 13 years? Is that right? But with bail, anything is possible. I'm just confused a website says as per google said it's not baliable, but some says it is.

Yes. It will be really funny if Trump is found guilty and is elected at the same time (2024). His guilt won't stop him from being president. It can't.

Yeah. He's got plans to run again next year and many are saying that this could be a tactic from his opponents (whoever they are) to discourage people from voting for him. But AFAIK, an elected official has got immunity from this type of case, right?

It would be an interference in government. Maybe White House arrest, and out for work to the Capitol on the Huber laws.

Cool

If that's possible through that law, yeah, we'll see on 2024.

No he has not immunity of any type. He cannot pardon himself for the offences that he is indicted for and some of these include sedition an treason against the US which, by the 14th amendment will prevent him from even running from presidency. The Republican Party is about to face a choice: Go Trump and loose with Trump or make a change and have better chances with someone else.

For me, there would be no doubt on a rational choice, but as of today it seems that the Reps are sequestered by Trump.

All the accusations against Trump are complete crap, I think his lawyers can easily handle this. In my opinion, the accusations of corruption against Biden are much more serious. In any case, this is an indicator of a deep crisis in the US political system, there is a non-zero and not even a small probability that a criminal will become the next US president.

I see youre still getting your news from the same sources you used in early 2022.

Ukrainians will be fighting Russian aggressors to death.

Well, that means they'll die.

Yes, Captain Obvious, aggressors will die. That's the whole point.

In Kyiv on May 9 2022, a traditional parade will be held in honor of the victory of the USSR over Nazi Germany. It is naive and foolish to doubt it.
