When a person continues to fill their thick heads with Fox Not News lies, there is nothing more anyone can do.

 

This will not be overturned on appeal, and the SC has nothing to do with this matter. That's how the justice system works. And when this convicted felon loses in November, the rest of the cases will be brought forth in SPITE of his sycophants' efforts.

 

But keep walking in the mist of lies if it makes you feel better, sunshine.

 It can and will go to the SC; that's the process. I don't watch Fox, and I'm not a Trump voter - sunshine.

Misdemeanours outside the statute of limitations and bumped UP for political reasons. Your argument is truly infantile. He will win on appeal - maybe not in NY but certainly at the SC.

Pathetic come-back. '' at the Supreme Court'', (which he owns).. ? of course he will be found innocent, just like one of Trumps famous wins at his one-man golf tournaments (which he owns).

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...

'Trump slept with a porn star'?

There's no evidence of that.

In an interview with Vogue, Stormy Daniels stated that the 'sex' lasted maybe 2 minutes. She didn't reveal if there was any sleeping together after those 2 minutes.

There is some evidence though, that Trump was sleeping in the courtroom. And farting.

It is used by both sides, unfortunately, but we don't need to use it here on a farang debating site IMHO.

Melania: did you have sex with that woman.? Trump: I did NOT sleep with her.

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.

f the Access Hollywood tape did not cost Trump the election, there is no evidence that the Daniels brouhaha would've made the difference.

 

 

Again the stale worn "no there is no evidence that  blal bla bla would've made the difference" nonsense when one has nothing that make sense to offer, or to voice one's discontent by.

Stormy Daniels mader Trump campaign run around like chickens with head cut off.

Of course the electoral college can be abolished, it just needs political will. But there isn't, on both sides.

So you're stuck with a load of archaic, ambiguous rules, and maybe you think that that is beneficial to your idea of democracy. 

Where presidents are elected by c. 100.000 votes in swing states, while having millions less in the popular vote.

17,000 votes in 2016    Why would the R's want to abolish the EC ?  They would never win a Presidential election and they despise democracy.   Biden and the Dems can't abolish it  the R's hold the House and most State legislatures      My idea of Democracy would be one person one vote ,traitors and seditionists are executed.

He will NOT go to prison on these charges    .If the judge has any guts it will be house arrest at Mar a Lago    if he violates   maybe Civil War.

I totally agree. For eight years I've been following American politics, and I've slowly come to the conclusion they've painted themselves in a corner. So many laws, acts, Constitution articles, basically seem to be inoperable.

What exactly should Hillary have been prosecuted for?   Do you think the other government official that did the same thing should be prosecuted?    What  do you think about the classified materials at Mar -A Lago ?

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

 

 

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.

Now it's a kangaroo court ?  You are desperate ,do you know what a Kangaroo Court is?   Do you know that Donnies lawyers got to pick the jurors?

Knowingly and intentional mishandling sensitive data. ANY government official who does this should be prosecuted, including the Mar-A-Lago theft. The latter is compounded with the attempt to cover up his theft. Eventually that will become another conviction, it's a slam-dunk.

The Garland DOJ handles these cases very differently. In 2021 Ms Lavarello was sentenced to three months in jail pretty quickly and efficiently, Trump was approached with hat in hand, please Mr President, give us those classified documents, essential to national security, back? Please?

That took a year and a half. And still DOJ doesn't know that is has everything back, and certainly doesn't know what has been done with those documents in all those years. Apparently national security is less important than they would make us believe.

I would have scanned them, put them on a microSD as big as a fingernail, and sold them to whoever is willing to pay a big price.

But I'm not American.

Even the Prosecution's opening statement said that they make no claim as to whether the Daniels dustup would have materially affected the 2016 election results.

Apparently someone on the convicted felon's team DID scan some of the documents and put them on her laptop.

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.

I think that the turnout will be much larger than 2020 as Democracy is on the ballot.
