I never knew how small, both mentally and physically, Wacko Former Actor Robert De Niro was. Today, De Niro, who suffers from an incurable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, commonly known in the medical community as TDS, was met, outside the Courthouse, with a force far greater than the Radical Left – MAGA. Robert, whose movies, artistry, and brand have gone WAY DOWN IN VALUE since he entered the political arena at the request of Crooked Joe Biden, looked so pathetic and sad out there. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio!!!

The article and a picture of the actual words aren’t good enough for you? Are you confused about who and where the quote is from?

Yes. It needs a link to the source for verification.

It’s telling that in his mind, the worst offense he can lob at someone is “your brand has gone way down in value”. Truly one of the businessman of all time.

And he should’ve finished it:

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

And here’s an explanation of the meaning of this part of the song:

He said, “In these days of Presidential transgressions and apologies and prime-time interviews about private sexual matters, we grieve for Joe DiMaggio and mourn the loss of his grace and dignity, his fierce sense of privacy, his fidelity to the memory of his wife and the power of his silence.”

So Trump, learn something from Simon and Garfunkel and stop being such an insufferable attention whore. We need quiet heroes like Joe DiMaggio, not whatever Trump is.

I read recently he can’t pronounce words more than 4 syllables anymore, that’s why he won’t attempt a public debate with Biden.

Dumb question from a non US citizen: can he still run now that he’s a convicted felon? There must be states where it’s eliminatory, right? Could the Supreme Court reverse a State decision?

Yes he can run, but if he can’t get it overturned on appeal I’m time then he won’t be able to vote in the election he’s running in.

The founding fathers didn’t idiot-proof the Constitution enough, and trying to amend it is a complicated nightmare that could open it up to all kinds of insanity in the modern political ecosystem.

So all this effort for this trial and his only consequence is he loses 1 vote? Great. Love it.

It actually depends on his sentence. In Florida felons can vote once they’ve completed their sentences. That includes parole and paying all fines though. My suspicion is he’s going to get like a year parole

What the fuck with this? This is the first time I’ve seen a felony with potentially no prison time. If there were ever a time for a mandatory minimum, this would be it. This fuckin’ guy needs some god damned consequences.

He can vote. He was convicted in New York not Florida.

From what I’ve seen, Florida’s voting law that if a Florida resident is convicted of a crime in another state that would prevent them from voting based on that states voting laws, then they are not allowed to vote in Florida.

He’ll be able to vote.

He’s A Florida resident, and the rule for Florida felons convicted out of state is that they are subject to the voting restrictions of the jurisdiction in which they were convicted.

New York allows felons who are not actively incarcerated to vote, so unless he’s actually serving time he’ll be able to vote.

Also not from the US, but I’ve been told he can. Which seems a little odd to me, considering I’m sure I’ve heard felons can’t vote.

IMO they should be able to do both things, but only after they’ve served their time. Tho that requires a fair and functioning judicial system so one cannot just jail their political opponents to get rid of them, I suppose…

Technically no. He’s convicted, but not a felon yet, as that part enters your record on July 11th when the judgement is being made. So in the mean time, here are some correct titles we can all use:

Felon Elect
Presumptive Felon Nominee
Felony Frontrunner
