Trump found guilty on all charges.

Who could have imagined that?

Election system DOA 11-3-2020
Justice system DOA 5-30-2024

This is going to be interesting to see how this plays out in November

[FoxtArt]

The justice system died a long, long time ago, though this case is not testament to that in any fashion in either way.

The only reason people believe that is because the conservative party stopped being conservative and a portion of the base started worshiping a shitbag.

No, he did not murder anyone. But there's no arguing he did f the porn star and did try to fenagle financial records. Which is exactly what he was charged for, so I'm confused... what is the problem? In the grand comparative scheme of things, no, it's not the biggest charge out there that should bring a politician in. But here's the thing...

He did it.

Normal people also get prosecuted for far, far less. Is Trump special cause he should be able to buy off a prosecutor or something? Is it unfair because it's not Trump supporters prosecuting him? Guess what, if a prosecutor dislikes you, you get charged too. That's 99% of the judicial system. I'd be more pissed off if Trump was exempted from it.

Get better candidates. You know, ones that don't bang porn stars and brag about grabbing women by the pussy, have multiple affairs, etc. Maybe one that has actually read a page of the faith they claim to be a part of and doesn't try to quote "Two Corinthians".

And yes, I'm aware that other candidates of gotten away with crimes. That NEVER supports an argument that "another" candidate should "also" get away with crimes.

Literally, support a candidate that doesn't commit crimes, 101.

Well sure, he's a shitbag and always has been.

But you can't argue this was a normal prosecution.

The prosecutor ran on, and was elected because of his vow to get Trump. The charges were past the statute of limitations so they made them into felonies so they could try him. And they never made a solid case that this was election fraud.

I don't care about his guilt, it is the overt weaponization of the process that concerns me.


On a separate note, it's fun to look at various news sites and read the comments. HuffPost has people pissing themselves with glee. Breitbart has people calling for war and death of "libtards".

Better candidates, who would that be? I think maybe you are hoping for something that has never existed. The people that run for office have always been narcissists, the Internet era has just brought it all in to the open. The person you are looking for wants nothing to do with politics or holding a public office.

Not disagreeing (that the wrong people seek office), but the bigger problem is how manipulatable the masses are - including many or even a majority of the GOP. It's not "nobody else would run", it's literally the average voter is subject to having their mind hacked to support someone LIKE DJT in the first place. -- Please note, that is not an insult to a supporter of DJT, it is a comment on psychology (such as how mobile games also are a brain hack).

DJT's winning strategy is literally just to be an asshole. People are too busy dropping a mic to actually support something with values or intelligence, he's an entertaining bully in essence and even the BEST candidates can't crack into the GOP because of it. It's not that a narcissistic egomaniac never runs for president, it's that the narcissistic egomaniacs have a lifetime of experience manipulating and bullying people into doing their bidding.

Not much different than the fact the most successful mobile games are usually ones that activate gambling/addictive centers of the brain.

If DJT insulting things accomplished anything, we'd have colonized the andromeda galaxy by now. Certainly, there are people who target him, and potentially even advertise targeting him, but again, normal people get targeted too (Aaron Swartz, anyone?). The thing about DJT is his manipulation and bullying tactics also make him a target in of itself. The thing is, I don't think a person should be exempted from that. If he talks the talk, then he better walk the walk. I don't recall GWB or any other being targeted like DJT, but then again, I don't recall any of them being the walking asshole that DJT is... some things come full circle.

Is DJT being targeted? Agreed. Is it because of his politics alone? I really don't think so. It's only DJT, not other GOP. E.g. is anyone trying to get Pence prosecuted? And no, he never "cleaned up" any swamp, it's not "the swamp coming for him", DJT is his own swamp.

This is why perhaps I'm far more indifferent than others, I don't really care when assholes struggle in the mire they created for themselves.

So far, it is only Trump because he is the biggest, easiest target.

This verdict sets a precedent that is sure to be used to target others with whom those in power disagree.

Bring any charges you can muster against your political enemy. Tie them up in court for years, and if a guilty verdict comes through, you can use that to smear their reputation.

Before the verdict was announced, the Biden campaign stated that they will use the term "convicted felon Donald Trump" for the rest of the campaign.

You can bet that every leftist lawyer is scouring the history of every elected official looking for something to prosecute them for.

At least 11 Trump associates have been targeted for prosecution. The real question is where the Biden-associated prosecutions are?

Pence is a rat and jumped ship. Funny, but if Trump was/is such a piece of shit, why didn't Pence do anything prior? Cus he's a useful idiot. He'll provide fealty to whatever person or group is in charge.

Come on man, you're smarter than this.

I hope Trump is put in prison and is "Epsteined."

Not because I dislike him, but because that seems the only thing likely to provoke millions of loudmouthed do-nothings to show these Commie degenerate kidtouchers what "Revolution" actually looks like.

It will likely start with a military coup, rapidly escalating to a full on Purge... which actually seems a lot better than Balkanization.
