Manhattan Prosecutors file criminal charges for Trump re Stormy Daniels case - ongoing discussion here (Guilty on all 34 counts, May 30, 2024)

And don’t commit treason or insurrection or something. But he did that and gets to appear anyway.

Eugene V Debs in 1920.

The defense -

  • He’s an honorable man
    • Oh, wait, strike that.
  • He did it for his wife
    • Um no, wait, never mind
  • He’s above the law!
    • What? No? OK.
  • He’s the President!
    • Oh… Not anymore?
  • He’s too feeble minded to understand what is going on but should be President again!
    • “Bailiff, remand the defendant into custody. The the defense attorneys will have a competency hearing right after the sentencing.”

Hey, a guy can dream. But step one is complete. Guilty. Finally.

… more like “The fact that a former Clinton donor with ties to Epstein was convicted shows, again, that the Democrats are trying to ruin the country.”

For a moment I thought you said that the New York Times was guilty on all counts…

Are you sure?

I think they mostly see the convicted criminals promising not to do it again, or at least exercising their right to be silent.

CBC’s Katie Simpson just interviewed some pro-Trump whackjob who wailed and railed on about Trump being found guilty of love and how sad for the country etc etc.

At that point Katie bailed because the guy seemed on the cusp of losing it.

That’s who I was referring to earlier when I said we put it on Fox News for a minute to see how they were spinning it.

“Hello, is this the Heinz Company? … Yes, this is Todd Blanche. Can you send a truckload of ketchup to Trump Tower? … About a half-hour? … Sounds great, thanks.”

Pretty sure. It’s not like he did it while court was in session. He stepped outside first.

Judge Merchan seems composed and evenhanded enough to know that any sentence deemed excessive by the Appeals Court won’t hold up.

We’ve got a Constitution and a few of us, including most judges, actually do take the freedom of speech part seriously.

Let’s not forget (okay, lets) Joe Exotic running for president from prison. The Tiger King for those searching around for - WHO?

You can go to joeexotic2024. com (space to prevent a link) to see a convicted felon running for president today.

ETA: Damn, ninja’d by seconds!

Cocaine Son floats what will no doubt be a major talking point.

Just add “ed” after “lock.”

And this “The Democrats have succeeded in their years long attempt to turn America into a third-world shithole”

No projecting here.

Oh they have their own things to answer for, I’m sure… but that’s for another day.

I was thinking more, the man with no eyes.

:wink: I’ll have to use that.
