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.

 

The convicted felon has never yet won.

 

He was SE-lected in 2016 by the screwed up 'electoral college' rubbish, not E-lected.

 

He won't win this time either - decent people are generally in the majority. But the actually rigged part of the system may yet again see the loser of the vote installed in the WH.

 

Interesting days.

Talking points for Dems

Cohen had an epiphany and is a good guy
Stormy has become a nun
Bragg never said "I'll get Trump" it was AI

Cohen never stole the money - Trump told him to do it
We don't want those immigrants' votes - we want them to wash our cars

I hate to admit it but you have a valid point. Hillary SHOULD have been nailed for that email server thingy, but she is deeply embedded in the system. That system protected her.

 

The twice impeached and now convicted felon behaved like a bull in a China (CHInah!) shop and the real powers that be have had it with him. He'll find how quickly his support in D.C dissipates and he'll be nothing but a husk of bad makeup and a man with no family.

Yea ... I think he's done as a political opponent.   Which in itself is scary for the USA.   If biden gets the nod from Dems, it's even scarier thinking harris will finish out his term.

No. If ANY individual had perpetrated these crimes in order to rig an election, this same verdict would be handed down. It won't be reversed, the evidence was obviously too overwhelming.

You think a bookkeeping error constitutes rigging an election? Wow, just wow. It will be reversed and is, in itself, trying to rig the next election. Watch this space.

What do you expect when a Republican get 12 jurors and a judge who are all staunch of the anti Republican 

in a New York Democrat's courtroom? his goose was cooked from day one...

 

The defense accepted the jury as seated without further demur. And the jury vote was unanimous.

 

Stop trying to enable a fraudulent felon, grifter, sexual assaulter and out and out disgusting liar who would sell the US to Putin, Xi and Little Missile Man if the Price is Right. If you are successful don't think it won't affect you badly sooner or later. Discrimination and hatred and impunity know no bounds or exceptions once installed in power. And everyone suffers. Everyone. Even those who think they're safe.

It's difficult to argue with someone so ill informed he didn't know that Trump had both House and Senate majorities for the first two years of his term.

 

[Chivas]

People totally overlooking the fact that this clown influenced the American public to vote for him in 2016 without remotely knowing what he was covering up

 

12 Jurors voted lock stock and barrel to convict. No dissent.

 

Seriously lock him up for 1 year which is just one quarter of the maximum sentence he can be served with

I shouldn't do it, but here's my prediction for the November elections.

74 million American adults voted for Trump in 2020. Not many will have changed their minds.

Voter turnout was 66% in 2020, but will be much lower this year. And that will hurt Biden more, especially because of his abhorrent Israel Palestine policies, and voters staying home or voting blank in battleground states. The archaic electoral college, that Biden has never even attempted to change of course, will do the rest.

Predictions are difficult, especially with regard to the future.

Really? There was no evidence presented that these acts were committed to rig an election. The prosecution was very careful to NOT say what the underlying offence was that elevated 34 minor misdemeanours to the level of felonies. The judge in his instructions said the same.  

 

If you think that the 'revelation' that Trump slept with a porn star would have scuppered his election chances, you don't know the American people very well. It may well have had the opposite effect...

Nice try! Most of those so-called Dem talking points have been made up by you. 😀

 

All what I lusted can be found in MAGA posts in this thread.

 

The Dem/Liberal talking point is simply: Trump has been convicted. Just as three years ago it was: Biden won the election! 😀

Predictions are especially difficult when you don't understand the US Constitution Biden can't change the Electoral College.

Strange comment. Perhaps you should research what is involved in changing the constitution.

There is as much chance of the electoral college being abolished as a snowfall in central Australia.

I have no idea why you even think Biden can change it.

Trump wasn’t convicted in less than twelve hours, the trial went on for weeks.

 

The jury deliberated for less than 12 hours. Almost like they had already made their minds up.

I do accept that you might not be used to the rich and powerful being held accountable to the law, but holding a rich and powerful criminal accountable to the law in open court of law and judged by a jury is the polar opposite of ‘Banana Republic’ behavior.

 

 

 

 

Of course the rich and powerful can be convicted. It depends if they are on the wrong side of the political divide. 

 

Look at Thailand for example, Thaksin (like Trump) was removed. In fact Thailand now has many similarities to the USA in terms of removing popular politicians via kangaroo courts.

1. If I remember well, there was a kind of infrastructure bill  voted with the support of Democrats under Trump.. Republicans tended to oppose it

Well in reality....
 

Quote

"Donald Trump campaigned on a $1 trillion infrastructure plan. “We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals,” he said in his 2016 election night victory speech. “And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it.”

And

 

Quote

 

The Trump administration’s record on infrastructure is marked instead by over-hype and under-delivery. The $1 trillion (later $1.5 trillion) package boiled down to a series of White House budget sketches, proposing to use $200 billion as an incentive for private investors, states and localities to put up the remaining $800 billion. “We believe this will create a great return on taxpayer dollars,” stated a 2018 White House press release, which cited a $5.4 billion light-rail referendum in Nashville as the kind of locally-funded project the administration hoped to encourage. Nashville voters rejected the rail measure three months later. And the president’s building vows never came to pass.

“I think we’ll look back on these four years as a missed opportunity,” said Adie Tomer, a fellow at the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program. “This administration has been a major letdown for nearly all state and local officials and advocates.”

 

He promised to "deport every immigrant living in the US illegally. He ended up deporting less than Obama did.

It makes me laugh when trump supporters claim "He did everything he said he would".

The bloke is a grifter who relies on the confirmation bias, poor education and short attention span of his supporters.

The appeal won't be settled before the November election.  But their real intent isn't to put Trump in prison.  It's to keep him off the ballot.  

 

A criminal conviction doesn't keep him off the ballot.

Even being jailed doesn't keep him off the ballot.

Yet the jury decided Trump is a bigger liar than Cohen.

No I don't agree that the laws should be changed to exclude people with a criminal conviction a day after Trump is convicted of all 34 out of 34 charges in less than 12 hours.

 

That's the type of thing that happens in banana republics. Despite recent events, I'd like to think America is still above that type of thing.  

Would that not require a constutional amendment?
