That would make the Biden has dementia claims seem more plausible
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Oh yeah, prosecutors love to walk away from cases they can win. And judges and juries are well known to deliberately acquit the guilty for the luls. Come on, man, what kind of fantasy world are you living in? If the cops had a case in even one of those arrests then this guy would have one more conviction.
I don't distrust the police that much to think that different officers decided to pick on this guy specifically while leaving everyone else alone, but if convictions make something true, then he did, well, commit first-degree assault.
Where'd you get the idea that while the NYPD was arresting this guy over and over that they were leaving everyone else alone? They have thousands of officers, plenty available to make all kinds of bullshit arrests.
Not really what I was asking.
I see; why'd it end ten years ago?
I'd guess because he got sentenced to something in or around three years. Are you just now learning that prison sentences are almost always temporary?

This is a BIG WIN for Law & Order and LOSS for TikTok and the Chinese Communist Party. I will fight for the rights of homeowners across America and make squatting illegal. Joe Biden is Out of Touch with Hardworking Americans and has chosen to funnel our wealth into Ukraine, and not our citizens. VOTE Him OUT!

This would likely include other people should he win the White House. One of the methods include sending the DOJ after James for Election Interference:
Behind the scenes, various lawyers in the MAGA upper crust — including several close to the former president — have been crafting specific, novel legal schemes that a Justice Department could use to go after the New York prosecutor, three people familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone. One such proposal, two sources say, would involve accusing James of attempting to illegally interfere in the 2024 presidential race — an argument that would certainly be rich coming from Trump, who has been indicted at the federal and state levels over his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
In recent months, according to two of the sources, a number of legal theories and plans of attack against James have been briefed to Trump, the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee, who has privately responded approvingly, sometimes enthusiastically. In some instances, the ex-president has been emphatic that these kinds of prosecutions need to happen in order to restore a sense of so-called “law and order” in New York and the rest of the United States, one source familiar with the situation recalls.
So, as we should say, Trump's idea of law and order is basically him seeking revenge.
Trump is an enemy of democracy, plain and simple.

Biden is the one that benefits from this loss: in a two way race, he wins 94% of the Democratic vote; with third parties, it falls to 81%. 5% points go between Stein and West, both who almost certainly won't get that support come November. Kennedy gets 9% points, which makes him a prime target to get Democratic voters back. Trump goes from 92% of Republicans to 86%.
Third parties also hurt Biden's and Trump's standing with Independent voters: Biden leads Trump 48% to 41% and still does with Independent voters 33% to 31%, but that represents a 15% and 10% point drop for the candidates, with Kennedy getting 20% of Independents and Stein (5%) and West (6%).
This makes it paramount for both campaigns to not only retain voters, but to win them back, especially for Biden, who has more to lose here.
Interestingly, 52% support sending military aid to Ukraine but 52% oppose doing so for Israel (43% feel not enough is being done to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza). Immigration is the most important issue:
Given a list of 10 issues and asked which is the most urgent one facing the country today, immigration (26 percent) ranks first among voters followed by the economy (20 percent) and preserving democracy in the United States (18 percent). No other issue reached double digits. This marks the first time that immigration has ranked as the top issue in this election cycle.

There’s still time to turn things around. However with the third party scenario Biden doesn’t have a wide margin to catch up with so if he plays it right he can overtake Trump and stay there.

There is, and we can expect that by Biden. But how effective he will be remains to be seen. Then there's Trump's trials, which for this Manhattan case, while 55% said it won't effect their vote, 29% did say it would make them less likely to vote for him. So, if that holds true, it would be interesting to see where those voters go.

Not necessarily. The district attorney is an elected position, and are known to be at the center of the "letting the crims off too easily" discussion. And I never suggested "deliberately acquit the guilty for the luls", of course. More like deliberately acquit the guilty for some notion of social justice. Even blue San Francisco recalled their district attorney. Not saying that's what happened here; would be much better if we had access to what happened in all of these "21 arrests", but I'm not too sure everyone is seeking to put people behind bars if they believe they can, especially in NY.

All targeting this one innocent guy while not arresting the other New Yorkers twenty-one times. The guy convicted of first-degree assault was an innocent man nineteen times he got arrested? Was there some conspiracy in the NYPD to target this random dude specifically? Do other New Yorkers get arrested nineteen times for nothing?
I'd guess because he got sentenced to something in or around three years. Are you just now learning that prison sentences are almost always temporary?
Not what I was asking. Why was he sentenced to three years?

Ah, so you're proposing a decades long conspiracy involving the DA's office, state judges, and the general public, all working to set the guilty free because something something sjws. And this is a more plausible explanation to you than the cops just being assholes.
