Woke up this morning to this wonderful news, the long weekend just got better.

So tiny is now a convicted felon and rapist, please let's have the N word tape released, so we can add confirmed racist.

Anyone with half a brain knew this ridiculous man child was never fit to be POTUS.

Let the MAGA tears flow long and deep today.

I suppose he is finally now a man of conviction.

37.7% voted for Trump in Manhatten in 2020. Yet not one juror voted not guilty on any charge.

This view that everyone hates Trump in NY is rubbish. Pushed by Trump. You should looks at the facts before repeating his propaganda.

"He will clean up the corrupt justice system and media."

It's Biden's fault.

It's the media's fault.

It's the justice system's fault.

Nothing to do with him, eh?

If he had of admitted to ****ing a porn star, or not ****ed her in the first place while his 3rd wife was at home with his new born, or paid her out of his own pocket, or not shafted Cohen, or plead guilty, he wouldn't be in this mess.

He had a million off ramps here. He took none.

But sure, he's the innocent party here.

Cody montana

So they’re okay with

January the 6th insurrection

His attempts at overthrowing democracy

Him stealing classified information
His sexual assault case

Him having an affair with a porn star and paying her off

Him being a convicted felon

America is a country in serious decline.

What would he be found guilty of if he carried out the exact same assault in New York state today? Rape. He's a rapist. And well you know it.

He didn't rape her, he just sexually assaulted her is a strange hill to die on but here we are 🤷‍♂️

One that we get dragged up, on a regular basis. But, he's now the convicted former guy (CFG?)

Ehh. ConvictTrump works for me. What a great day for Justice, but a day with some sadness, too. No one in 2016 who voted for this excrement should be surprised by this verdict. When someone tells you the truth about themselves, believe it. The first time. ConvictTrump is the perfect example.

randomuser02125

Something that needs to be got across to independent voters is that he's been let off the hook time and again by the elites but both times he's been put in front of ordinary citizens they have found him guilty. Drain the swamp? The rapist POS depends on the swamp for his freedom.

Trump literally spent the length of the court case falling asleep. What exactly was the rigging last time round? What did he clean up last time? And a president doing something about the media is more authoritarian than anything else. So you like state control of all outlets like in Russia or Hungary?

I read somewhere on a news website yesterday (sorry I don’t have the link) that in a survey, 1 in 4 republican voters said that if found guilty they wouldn’t vote for Trump. Independents also expressed a significant % saying they wouldn’t vote if he were found guilty.

OK, so that’s just one poll - fair enough. But what struck me when watching his rant post trial, is that his standard “they’re all out to get me” rant is just sounding tired at this stage. When he won in 2016, his approach was very new and sounded very fresh and different -doesn’t matter if you agreed with it or not- it worked, that’s all that counts- it doesn’t sound different anymore - I’m not convinced Trumps repeated persecution complex ramblings are getting through - in addition, the very conservative and religious will be in a bit of a quandary given this conviction - some will convince themselves it’s all a conspiracy (and indeed maybe it is who knows) - but I don’t think all will.

The conviction has hurt his voting numbers - I think that’s going to be clear- but given the weakness of his opponent, it’s not at all certain that he’ll lose either.

Trump has to engage with the probation services before sentencing.

Everyone keeps saying that in the main no one goes to jail for first time class E felony offences.

But that I imagine is largely because they throw themselves at the probation services and mercy of the court.

Admit they understand their crimes and show remorse.

Then a Judge takes that into account as a mitigation.

In this case I don't think I have ever seen a more militant and extreme defendant make all sorts of dangerous and false claims. Calls now for the Judge and Jurors to be executed by his supporters.

The first sentence out of his mouth yesterday after been found guilty was to call the Judge corrupt. First words out of his mouth after been convicted.

There is no precedent for this.

Anyone else would be facing a custodial sentence.

There will be a summer of riots on the street by militant Trump supporters I’d imagine if Trump were jailed- I honestly don’t think the judge will do that regardless of what Trump has said and anyway, given he’ll appeal as soon as he can, and given who he is, I don’t think there’s any question of him serving time right now- if he did get a custodial sentence he might be released simultaneously pending appeal - I don’t know how the NY justice system works in that regard

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122204923#Comment_122204923

A potential summer of Riots is better than a potential 4 more years of Trump as president and the potential that he will use that time to overthrow democracy

CNN said in NY, Class E felonies result in incarceration between 10-30% of the time, so the odds are against a custodial sentence. In my opinion, CFTrump's antics that were worthy of a gag ordered enforced 10 times - 10 times! - might improve the odds of a custodial sentence. Also, despite all 34 convictions, the max incarceration is 20 years.

I can always hope. Lock. Him. Up!

no point in fining him. A couple of months pick up litter around the streets of New York maybe.

Boggles

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122204946#Comment_122204946

I thought the odds were against him getting convicted.

But my point is, everyone is looking at precedent to determine what might happen.

This IMO is the precedent.

The Judge and Jurors may actually need security for the foreseeable.

We are gone back to the old days of the Mafia.

Like Beau said, and Overheal quoted earlier in either this thread or its clone thread, this is history.

The Mafia hasn't gone away, it's just CFTrump acts like a comic-opera mafia don; real mafiosi don't behave like he does.

Basically, he's not a mafiosi, but he plays one on TV.

I was thinking just that.

A few hundred hours of community service, to completed in an immigrant outreach centre or some other similar place that will trigger his supporters.

And all to be completed in the next 6 months.

Trump came out of the court yesterday with his usual ranting and raving minus any energy.

He sounded like a cassette tape been played at a lower speed.

Had he no nap during court yesterday?

Or he will intervene and immediately stop the assisted killing by the USA with biden supplying arms to maim, kill and burn innocent children on a daily basis in Israel.

All those who jumped on the bandwagon here when he was last voted in saying he would cause nuclear war with North Korea at the time are back again. They forget he was the only president to actually go to north Korea and calm the situation. I didn't see a war from Russia when he was in power as they knew the consequences. Also with Trump visiting Israel at the time of high tensions in gaza.

Reminds me which war started when trump was in power. I could remind you of the several major wars that have begun under the weak biden administration not to mention the fact that biden assists the killing on a daily gaza

He, and you, must be loving how Biden is dealing with his opponents. Strong leadership right there.

Why would he do that?

Putin and Netanyahu are besties and Trump who is an imbecile loves both of them.

He will give both carte blanche to do what ever they want.

Again people are not paying attention. You need to pay attention.

No, I couldn't vote for Biden at all, he's an appalling hypocrite. No one could watch what's happening in Gaza and contemplate voting for him - it's barbaric what he's allowing to happen. Trump would be as bad on Gaza but your comment on nukes is hyperbole, Trump will focus far more domestically agenda I suspect if he wins.

There no doubt what a republican percent would do in regards to Gaza.

Have you not been listening at all? He was not in court for paying hush money. Paying hush money is not illegal.

However, are you suggesting that an influential person should not be held accountable in case it upsets their fans? They should have the 'everyone does it' protection? How does that mesh with democracy?

I dropped off the Trump stuff in a while. It's been almost 8 years since we got Brexit here and Trump in the US. I just don't get why people are still defending Trump.

It's such a weird and bizarre mentality i.e. OK, I'm a former POTUS who has made history by getting a criminal conviction and so my best bet now will be to keep calling the guy who will now be sentencing me in six weeks time corrupt.

Don't forget "grab em by the pussy".

There was also the time when he refused to denounce Qanon, saying, "I don't know much about them, other than they like me, which I appreciate."

You have to hand it to Trump - he called it when he said he could shoot someone in broad daylight and not lose voters. Sure, there would be a short period of shock and even silence among his backers, but we've learned that the silence isn't those people rethinking their support of the man. It's really just them figuring out their talking points. Three days later - it was self defence, they were an illegal, they'd just committed a rape, you name it.

The conviction will be just another notch on the dial. It'll be normalised in American media by next week and it'll be just another baked-in fact about the man.

Do you think Trump would be stopping Israel? He already said he believes they need to move quicker. And he moved the embassy, and a massive kick in the teeth to Palestine.

By focusing on the domestic agenda, do you mean he turns his back on the situation?

Biden is simply following years-long US policy. Israel effectively has a seat on the permanent member of the UN, through their complete allegiance with the US. Reagan didn't change it, or Clinton, or Bush, or Bush again, or Obama, or Trump. They didn't change it because the US was happy for Israel to do it. It is in the US interests to have a foothold in the ME through Israel, and the price of that is to completely and unquestionably support Israel.

Trump wil change nothing
