Yeah, I don’t think there are grounds for appealing the sentence. But he’s still going to file an appeal, which will force the prosecution to submit a brief, and force the appeals court to issue a rejection of the appeal. And then he will appeal that to NY Court of Appeals (their state Supreme Court…in NY, Supreme Court is what they call their trial courts which is super confusing for everyone outside of NY). Wash, rinse, repeat all the way to SCOTUS, which will also reject the appeal. I think he just thinks he’s punishing the courts by making them deal with this.

He needs something to do while in office to keep him busy. Musk and Heritage will be handling running the country.

I think it’s just another way of claiming he can do no wrong, and any claim that he has done anything wrong is part of the librul / Marxist / Derp State / whatever plot against him. He’s being persecuted because he’s the only one fighting for the people, etc., so of course he has to fight back. He looks all that stronger to delusional MAGAts whenever he does or says so.

I’m sure some conservative is cooking up a fake case with fake people to take to the Supremes to get their preferred decision…

Yeah, she and Dick Cheney were noticeably absent. She was the only living First Lady not there, and Cheney the only living VP not there. Dan Quayle was even present.

Maybe she’s decided to TOTALLY withdraw from the shitshow that is US politricks.

She probably told Barack that she would either barf on him or punch his lights out. Looks like the seating was in order of presidents and boy, girl, and she knew that she’d d be next to Dump.

If only Obama had elegantly but obviously held his nose while sitting next to Diaper Donnie.

I suspect he saw himself as running cover for everyone else (it was a funeral, after all, and it’s about Jimmy, not Trump)… take the brunt of Trump’s attention, so that everyone else doesn’t have to? I can’t imagine he thinks well of Trump (given the role he played in the birther movement), even if he does pal around with Bush? Also, I bet that’s why Michelle did not come, because she would not have been able to hold in her ire for the man…

Hopefully they were all more focused on, and inspired by, Jimmy Carter than giving much thought at all to Tromp.

Even if Playboy was made more acceptable by the presence of legitimate literature and journalism, plenty of other print pornography had no such pretense of respectability. Hustler is a good example, but there were plenty of even lower quality magazines that just had nudes and/or depictions of sex. Not to mention actual pornographic films, almost none of which were cinematically interesting.

This has nothing to do with the Pornhub case, but it’s interesting in light of last year’s Presidential immunity case.

Justice Alito is asking if websites like Pornhub have “essays, modern day Gore Vidal, stuff like that” like the old playboy
I did have an adult site bookmarked that had the best collection of John Cage videos I’d ever found.

Now you’ve got me thinking about how Carter’s legacy ties into the current Supreme Court case…

@mindysan33 are you very familiar with Justice Robert H. Jackson? He’s a pretty important figure in SCOTUS history (and WWII history), but I’m not finding any really in depth biographies of him. There’s a lot of stuff on his tenure as a Nuremberg prosecutor, but not much else.
