Perhaps I posted too soon?
Another Critical Mass has been reached. Expect at least one deplorable to take action.
My preceding comment was made in the capacity of him being a regular citizen not the POTUS. I should have been clearer. He has business interests in several countries that he could not visit as a regular citizen.

Sounds like a typical deplorable comment section.
But it would be entirely fitting for America to start Civil War 2 because some dbag billionaire got a wrist-slap for secretly using election money to shut up a porn-star.
A whole dozens.
I wish the media would stop treating online posts as news.

Iâve been of the opinion that weâve been in a civil cold war (cold civil war?) for a few years now.

Did they have support for this? I know nothing about it, but it seems more likely to me that any FL law would have been be written about felons and would not have been written to specify felons that happened to be sent to jail. They wouldnât have inticipated Trumpâs predicament, and I canât think of a good reason why they would exempt some felons.
Sounds like buddy might have skipped his initial meeting with his probation officerâŚ

It looks like Florida law mirrors the state law where a felony is committed, and in NY, you can vote if you are not in prison.
I guess felons in prison are usually there because their crimes were violent and we treat violent crimes differently. A more cynical view might suggest disenfranchisement motives based on prison populations.
Didnât think about the idea that he could be subject to drug testing while on probation.
The probation restrictions are a real problem IF Trump loses in November. If he wins, they just get blown away. He âcanât let probation interfere with being president.â
An article on the possible omission:
tl;dr: While most new convicts do immediately go and start the process of begging for leniency, itâs OK to call and schedule the interview, and there is no obligation for the convict to actually do the interview. The consequence is just that, in doing so, they potentially piss off the judge and effectively waive any opportunity to express remorse (not that Trump would do that) or argue for leniency.
Thanks, I was wondering how that worked. Since Trump is claiming innocence and filing an appeal, it doesnât make much sense to meet with a court officer and âexpress remorseâ.
You see that and I see that, but what does the judge see?
I could see it lasting through the sentencing phase.
Oooh, that would be interesting⌠if the U.S. President wasnât able to enter the country.
Google tells me you can enter Canada if the DUI conviction is at least 10 years old. It was in 1976 and he didnât take office until 2001⌠24.5 years later. So I think he was ok even without any sort of Head Of State exception.
Wouldnât they also be a problem between now and November?
Constraints imposed by probation are unlikely to be in force until his appeal is heard.
This is an f-ed up system.
