Donald Trump was convicted of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 presidential campaign Thursday in a historic trial that saw a former U.S. president face criminal charges for the first time.

 

A New York jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts, related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The prosecution had alleged Daniels was paid to keep secret a 2006 tryst she had with Trump in order to influence the results of the 2016 election, which Trump ultimately won.

 

The trial lasted a month and a half and was plenty eventful. In addition to the fiery testimonies of Daniels and Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, Trump was held in contempt of court 10 times and fined $10,000 for violating a gag order against attacking people involved with the trial. Many Republican leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, traveled to New York to speak out in support of the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.

What was the crime?

 

Just kidding 😂 

Who would have guessed. Trump, the convicted criminal.

Imagine the silence from the Trump fans while they wait for their updated talking points.

Fantastic news. Finally

Under no circumstances should Trump be imprisoned until after the election. The voters should have right to a more or less normal campaign, and can express their displeasure by voting for Trump.

 

What is important that the voters know the facts of this case, how Trump acted out, and the jury verdict, prior to the election.

 

Having said that:

 

"Lock him up!"

The Defendant losing in November is a better Verdict..........

Third world delusional leftist nonsense. It’s quite remarkable that there is a third world banana republic court system in a modern western city. Equally remarkable is well educated people are so easily influenced and dumb down by the media.

You are trapped in a cult.

Reality stings.......

I loved when he said "I'm an innocent man" after the verdict.

Kind of like Stormy Daniels saying she is a virgin.

It was hard for him to keep a straight face while delivering that doozie. 

Hey buddy, no you're not!

 

So he can't vote for himself.

Would he be approved for a Thai O-A visa as a convicted felon?

34 for 34

 

So when the next 3 trials are held, if Trump is found guilty of any charges, that's virtually a life sentence for him.

 

 

Convicted felon has a nice ring to it.

Don't get carried away.

There won't be another trial before the election.

He may well win the election. 

If he loses, then he will be headed to long prison terms (basically life at his age) based on the other cases.

So he's running for his life.

Not for the constitution.

Not for the American people (more like for the Russian people).

But only to save his sorry ass. 

Let's use some of the convicted felon's own words about migrants to describe what the Republicans---so far---plan to send to the voters in November:

 

"They're sending us their felons!"

 

Not sure if the guy can still win, as swing voters might be affected. Also, the Convicted Felon is likely to rant about how he will take down 'the corrupt and rigged US system', and that will hurt him with the same swing voters.

 

Perhaps---just perhaps---Republicans will do the right and smart thing and choose someone else as their candidate. Might be their only chance.

Yes but won't happen before the election and if he wins, they'll never happen.

Personally I don't really feel the need to see him die in prison.

I would be more satisfied if he loses the election and then flees the country to an enemy state.

I spent as much time as I could stomach watching Fox Not News and all they could parrot is "Hunter Biden's Laptop" and how the judicial system is now weaponized. Utter nonsense!

 

Just a bunch of sore losers.

No chance.

They're all in with the convicted felon. They're totally insane, but there is no way they drop him.

Don't like Rule of Law, eh?

 

Non-fascists and those who believe in democracy and the American Experiment also support the Rule of Law.

 

In a Third World s-hole, he would have gotten off. In a nation where ALL ARE EQUAL under the law, and NO ONE is above the law, he was found guilty by a jury of his peers.

It's got nothing to do with the media.

Do I detect a bit of "sore loser syndrome?" 😆

I'm worried about the jurors. There is no doubt that some maga fascist goons will go after them if they're identified.

The conviction won't impact the hard core MAGA types - except that fewer will show up at the polls.

 

It's the swing voters who aren't in the cult who will take this into account when voting.

Most Trump supporters are nutters.

Mother of Jan. 6 officer Michael Fanone swatted after he called Trump 'authoritarian' Fanone was abducted by the mob on Jan. 6 and nearly killed when a MAGA-hatted rioter who believed Trump's lies about the 2020 election drove a stun gun into his neck.
