Their proposal is acceptable but only if he leaves the United States. Then try him in absentia and dare him to set foot on American soil again. I could support that.

Re: Newsmax

I seem to recall it being one of the small news outlets that popped up after Fox got into trouble for acting like Republican Pravda. MAGATS have to get there propaganda somewhere after all.

Is he considered a felon as of now? If he appeals, is his felon status suspended while it’s argued?

Understand what an appeal is. You are going to another court and arguing that something done in the trial was procedurally incorrect. Now, that can overturn a conviction but isn’t likely to.

You can also have multiple appeals at multiple times on multiple issues related to the trial.

It is not a redo of the trial. You aren’t provisionally convicted until the first appeal is over. You are a felon and will forever be one until and unless every single conviction is overturned.

Despite what Fox News and others on the right may claim, he is a felon, period.

I’d been saving this for a Broadway Show… but its time:

A Simple Tavern Song:

♫ Gosh it disturbs me to see you Con Rump  
♫ Looking so down in the Dumps  
♫ Every guy here’d like to be you, Con Rump  
♫ Even when taking your lumps

♫ There’s no man in town as admired as you  
♫ You’re everyone’s favorite guy  
♫ Everyone’s awed and inspired by you

♫ (I’d say ‘oh-me-too’ but then you’d know that’s… A LIE…!)

♫ No one’s sick as The Con  
♫ No one’s slick as The Con  
♫ No one’s head’s quite incredibly thick as The Con

♫ For there’s no man in court half as manly  
♫ (Next to Marge Greene, he’s a pure paragon!)  
♫ You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley  
♫ (“He’s In Air Farce One? Oh Thank Heavens! He’s Go-ooooone…!”)

♫ No one’s lies are thin like the Con  
♫ No one’s The Kingpin like the Con  
♫ Or has a more punchable chin like the Con  
♫ “As a Specimen yes, I’m Intimidating…!”  
♫ (So says the lard ass named the Con…)

♫ Who tweets Darts like The Con?  
♫ Who cools Hearts like The Con  
♫ Who the turns NATO like Eggsalad Farts like The Con!  
♫ As a specimen, yes, he’s intimidating!  
♫ (He likes spilled “Speciman Cups”, Does That Con!!!)

♫ No one fights like The Con  
♫ No one Bites like The Con  
♫ No one takes ‘Stupid’ to daring New Heights like The Con  
♫ For there’s no one else as ‘burly and brawny’ /s  
♫ He’s got biceps and large hands too. (lol)  
♫ And there is just not one sunburn apon him  
♫ Because every last inch of him has thick orange goo…!

♫ No one throws fits like the Con  
♫ Matches wits like the Con  
♫ Fills Depends with Presidential S\*\*\*s like the Con  
♫ He’s especially good at expectorating  
♫ (Bring Kleenex to debates with the Con)

♫ When he was a lad, he sucked 4 dozen eggs  
♫ Every morning to help him get large  
♫ Now that he’s grown, he sucks 5 dozen eggs  
♫ So his butt’s roughly the size of a barge…!

♫ No one Toots like the Con  
♫ Rapes the Beauts like the Con  
♫ Cheats on his wife while wearing boots like the Con  
♫ “I use Top Secrets in all of my Decorating!”  
♫ Oh what a slime… Oh what a slime… Oh What a Slime… Is The Con…!"

Turley just complained on Fox about celebrations are breaking out all around him (he’s at the NYC courthouse).

I need to see some beefy NYC cops crying like they were in November, 2020.

So the cultists are trying to pay tribute to their false idol and finding it difficult. Pity, that.

Funny how so many of them are complaining about the economy and crying poor, and yet …
