Twelve New Yorkers are expected to deliver their verdict shortly in the case against Donald J. Trump. He is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a payment to a porn star.
edit: I have changed my title to match the new NYTimes headline. Sorry about the all caps, I guess they are really excited about this lol
Also shoutout to @SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone who shared a gift article link in the comments. I hope you don't mind but I kinda stole it and updated the post
If he is guilty on even a single count, the former president and the presumptive republican nominee for the White House will not be able to vote for himself
Now the judge who Trump has been royally pissing off the whole time gets to sentence him. If your justice boner lasts for more than 4 hours, please consult a doctor.
The GOP could have gotten off this wild ride at so many points in the last 8 years, yet here we are. A republican presidential nominee who has been convicted of felonies.
Edit: And with Biden’s poll numbers they could have run literally anybody else and won.
Now on the downside, convicted felons are still legally allowed to run for office. Not being able to vote for himself is delicious schadenfreude, but this doesn't suddenly save democracy. However, I would expect Biden's administration will push this hard, and I don't think undecided voters want a felon in the White House.
I would like to formally and publicly apologize to Juror #2 for the aspersions I had cast upon his character. I am sorry for doubting you and your motives, Juror #2.
While I'm extremely happy, I'm exhausted and lost all faith that he will be held accountble for anything.
He will appeal on others money and then somehow all the republicans in there twisted hate of their fellow Americans will somehow get him elected and then he will wipe all punishments for him and all his other insurrectionists. Start a civil war, destroy any progress on saving the planet start ww3 or nuclear war...
I used to be optimistic now I'm depressed as the ruling class burns us all to the ground
Ok so if sentencing is July 11, what happens on that day? If the sentence includes imprisonment, does he go straight from court to jail?
He van and will appeal before then though right? If other cases are any indication he'll file an appeal which will delay any outcome until after November.
