while I'm confident yes I will be clenching those cheeks come November 5th. I think neither candidate is getting the same number of votes they got last time. I just have to trust my instinct that what went on since Trump's term has made him lose votes of a lot of people who aren't fully in the cult or 100% hard core republicans.Glorified KC said:pjhawks said:
and these convictions will give independents and moderates more reason to not vote for him. I don't get the notion that I hear some people say that this helps him. How can it help him? The cult is voting for him anyway. Is anyone now going to vote for him because he is a convicted felon? Don't see that.Glorified KC said:I'm glad to see him convicted, but this trial came 2-3 years too late. He's not going to serve jail time and can use the appeals process to push out any sentencing coming down on him for a while. There are still enough dipshits who worship him to leave the Republicans to grease his rope and keep him as the face of their pathetic party. It'll call come down to the independent/moderate vote just as it would have before the convictions.
Also I don't think this helps him, I just don't believe it's going to impact the vote enough to have those wanting him out of office not clinching their butt cheeks when the votes are counted in November and then we have another "steal the election" bull shit put our democracy at risk.0 -
Agreed, that's why I get all of my legal analysis from Jeanine Pirro.benjs said:

There was never any plausible evidence that Trump committed crimes. There was no legal basis for the D.A.'s indictment
Published May 30, 2024 11:45pm EDTDonald Trump did not lose on Thursday. Our once venerated legal system did. And, by extension, all Americans lost something precious. Because the failure of justice is a failure of the people.
The conviction of the former president in a Manhattan courtroom was preordained. With the inexorable verdict, the ideals of a fair trial and an impartial jury faded into a figment of our Founders’ imaginations. They knew that the worst oppression is done by the color of law. They feared it and tried to prevent it. So, they, too, have lost.
No reversal on appeal can erase the ugly stain. It is indelible. Ethical integrity, equal justice, and the revered rule of law became the fateful casualties of this assault on liberty. There was no real crime to be found. Prosecutors simply invented one —an undefined conspiracy that was factually impossible and unsupported anywhere in the criminal codes.
The trial itself that stretched for five agonizing weeks seemed a mere formality, a hollow exercise. A bookkeeping entry magically morphed from an expired misdemeanor to an active felony in the way that a porcupine is transmogrified into a prince.
At trial, the accused was never informed of his alleged felonious conduct. It was an egregious violation of his Sixth Amendment rights. Jurors were then given a creative menu of three possibilities and informed that our cherished constitutional principle of unanimity had gone the way of the dodo. We still don’t know —and may never know— what conspiracy Trump supposedly committed.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg proved the English philosopher and jurist, Jeremy Bentham, correct. "It is never the law itself that is in the wrong; it is always some wicked interpreter of the law that has corrupted and abused it."
But Bragg did not act alone. His accomplice and co-prosecutor, Judge Juan Merchan, blithely disregarded the established rules of evidence, manipulated standards of admissibility to favor the prosecution, sanctioned prejudicial testimony bereft of probative value, and helped engineer a wrongful conviction by depriving Trump of a full and legitimate defense to which he was entitled. Merchan did all of this without conscience or regret.
There was never any plausible evidence that Trump committed crimes. There was no legal basis for the indictment. Facts were contrived or exaggerated. Statutes were perverted or ignored. The law enforcers became law-breakers. Bragg’s scheme to exploit a pathological liar and convicted perjurer as his star witness was a devious maneuver by an unscrupulous prosecutor.
On cue, Cohen lied to the jury, just as he had lied to everyone else. It was no surprise coming from a man who told Congress, "I have lied, but I am not a liar." That is a twisted syllogism from an insufferable reprobate.
The problem with liars is that, for them, truth has no meaning. They are incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality. They lie to themselves about their own lies. But that did not stop Bragg and his confederates from mining Cohen’s skills as an expert prevaricator in their relentless quest to convict Trump.
Did they suborn perjury? Absolutely. They knew Cohen would lie. They wanted him to. He did not disappoint.
Bragg never had authority to bring a case against Trump based on federal campaign finance violations, which appeared to be the centerpiece of his misbegotten case. That’s why he concealed it to the bitter end. A competent or unbiased judge would never have allowed it. Merchan was neither.
The tragic coda to the Trump trial is that Americans can no longer trust our system of justice. Faith has been squandered. If it can be weaponized against a former president, it can happen to any of us. We are all at risk.
When a district attorney, who is a powerful force in government, abuses his position of trust to subvert the legal process, and when a judge acts in concert to dismantle the due process rights of the accused, our system of justice is threatened. Reverence to the rule of law is lost.

….Here is what Trumps own DOJ said about these actions while trump was president
“brazen violations of the election laws”
and trumps refused to commute cohens sentence.
was trump lying then or now?0 -

I think you’re not considering he will be sentenced in early July and be appointed a probation officer
Judge can sentence him to community service, and schedule a new hearing every time he threatens the court for more community service . That will keep him off the campaign trail and in a NY courtroom. Every time he opens his mouth.
it shows how powerful trumps lying is when those who don’t even like him don’t realize the power his home state has over convicted felons

The contradictory nature of the fringe republican party and the talking heads on Fox News and the alike is comical.
Just watching their reaction to the verdict... all I can think about is: Where was this outrage when January 6th happened? Everything they are complaining about can be properly applied to the outrage they SHOULD have felt when Jan 6th occurred.

I’m holding out hope that the women and youngsters will determine the next President and I’m almost positive they won’t be voting for trump. I believe that women know what’s coming next if trump wins and I believe that we’re all pissed off enough to ensure Biden wins.No wrath like that of a woman.0

2023How embarrassing. It’s like what happened yesterday occurred in a vacuum and nothing else ever occurred as it relates to POOTWH. Nothing. Just a victim of the Dems and Soros. It’s totally embarrassing. Even Susan Collins jettisoned her last vestiges of decency. Someone really needs to ask each repub candidate about POOTWH’s life time of failure and sleaziness. It’s a fucking long list for crying out loud.
