Donald Trump the Megathread part II - threadbans and mod warnings in OP

REDBULL68

Absolutely he should stand trial if the court thinks he broke the law ,my point was every time he is, his point quote goes up in the election, you might not like the people that vote for him but that's their choice.

And if prosecutors held off on going after Trump for fear of boosting his poll numbers, it would just feed into Trump's spiel that all legal scrutiny of him is politically motivated because it would be like prosecutors are just thinking in terms of election chances rather than justice

The debate he wanted with Biden will be fun now 😂

Yes ,they should not have gone after him with this stupid case just before the election, polls will be out soon, so we will see .

Trump sought the delays, this indictment came down over a year ago, pull another. He's still trying to delay other cases that were indicted even longer ago than that, what's stupid is clutching pearls that its 'before an election.'

Trump announced his whole 2024 run years prior to norm because he knew he was going to be indicted, it's some laugh trying to use that as an excuse that he is somehow above the law.

And how stupid was it to go after Hillary before the 2016 election? Hmm.

REDBULL68

Biden has tried the same delays, he's up next week, name one potential candidate that wouldn't delay ,before an election, night.

Reporters on CNN claimed that one of the parts of Merchan deciding his sentence is asking the felon if he expresses remorse. It's considered one of the several factors in the decision traditionally. If Donald expresses remorse to try and get a more lenient sentence, he would be admitting guilt and therefore it would make any appeal to a higher court pretty much a waste of money. If he doesn't express remorse, I imagine that the sentence will be more severe.

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.

Why didn't he do so during his first term, was it because he was to busy playing golf?

What magic drugs do you think Biden will be given?

"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?

As is the "his penis was that small she couldn't tell if it was that or his finger" hill.

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

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!
