Well said, Judge.
“Donald Trump the ordinary citizen, Donald Trump the criminal defendant” would not be entitled to the protections of the presidency, Justice Merchan asserts.
The Court’s bottom line is that Trump’s status as a President Elect shields him from the seriousness of the verdict.
But, he will assume office wearing the scarlet letter “F” for Felon.
Replies to: Well said, Judge.
Quadrupling down on being wrong. Nice.

This is a good example of why you lost.
Not a single person not named Donald Trump would be charged, put on trial or convicted of this offense. Andrew Cuomo and many others have said this. It's the "Three Felonies a Day" situation of targeted politically motivated prosecution. It's "lawfare".
So, getting back to why you lost: a majority of the American people are fed up with being gaslighted. They don't care that Trump was convicted in a sham trial, they don't care that he is a shitty human being, they don't care that he lies, because the alternative is demonstrably worse.
Exactly.

I agreed with him "exactly." You asked a stupid question, so you got a stupid answer.
You seem quite upset that you abused the US justice system to prosecute a political opponent, and it didn't work. You should be upset that anyone can abuse the justice system like you did.
This is my favorite part of this thread.
Jim acts like he doesn't understand the meaning of common words. And the funniest part is that it might not be an act!
It really doesn't get dumber than your statement. He was convicted of 34 felonies
by a jury of his peers - that's one whole item.
He has been fined (and should have been criminally charged to use your thoughts - everyone else
would have been criminally charged) for fraud in university scam, charity scam
sexual abuse, all of which would have permanently removed him from consideration for the job of president
of the United States and you ninnies are out their arguing he's our idea of a president. Not to mention
the hypocrisy of your statement when someone who doesn't wear your coat of arms in politics that
you don't like is a criminal, you're all over that calling for jail time, impeachment and so on.
Okay Jim, why do you think you lost?

The "Lawfare" was perpetrated by Trump himself...back when Michael Cohen pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to prison for doing DJT's bidding. The Attorney for the SDNY at that time, Geoffrey Berman, wrote a book explaining in detail how "Main Justice"...i.e. Trump's AG...subsequently had all references to "Individual-1" in the charging document eliminated. That "Individual-1" was known to be Donald Trump...the one who ordered Cohen to pay Stormy Daniels,...then wrote each and every check to Cohen.
Without DJT's "Lawfare", the SDNY would have pursued him, convicted him, and sentenced him to even more prison time than Cohen. Justice demanded that this case be brought against a true FELON...and Bragg, thankfully did just that.
Not sure why you support such trash...since he's not only a Felon, but a Rapist...a Serial Fraud who grifts his own supporters (Trump U., Trump Foundation)...and to top it off, an Insurrectionist against our Constitutional Democracy ("War Room" at the Willard Hotel prior to Jan. 6th, with Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders there who subsequently pleaded guilty to "Seditious Conspiracy"). Any ONE of these behaviors would end the political career of a Presidential candidate, but for a few percent of the voting population not having the moral/ethical fiber to care.
President Trump for four years. You better hope he fails because Vance will be next.
Intelligent, no baggage and married to a minority. Make sure Washington DC picks your candidate again.
First things first...do you understand that it was DJT's "Lawfare" that delayed this sentencing?...
...now as for the future, it's a safe bet that the country will be worse off domestically and internationally with him as President. Republican Congresspersons and Senators sense this too and have their eyes on being re-elected, so it'll be interesting to see how much they support him. As for J.D. Vance, he's Peter Thiel's puppet and therefore a tool of the "Broligarchs". How do you feel about the U.S. ditching its Constitution in favor of a Plutocracy?

A jury heard the evidence and rendered a unanimous verdict.
And he’s not the first person prosecuted for falsifying business records.
And no, the Manhattan or federal prosecutions against Trump is not the reason he won the election.
This unanimous jury rendered a verdict of guilty...and got it 100% wrong
But since the "sanctity of the jury" is so sacred to you, I guess you're fine with him spending 27 of the best years of his life in prison for something he didn't do.

Mark — Trump’s defense wasn’t a whodunnit. His defense acknowledged the facts.
The defense was that the conduct wasn’t criminal.
Convict Trump is entitled to his appeal rights. He has a decent chance as the Manhattan case was tried prior to the Supreme Court immunity decision. Two White House staff/witnesses testified in the prosecution’s case.
My obvious point is juries sometimes render the wrong verdict
(no message)
And also render the right one but that verdict is later written off by a corrupt President for
His crackhead, whore loving son.
Do you include Lottery Winnings in your budget?...constantly waiting for miracles to appear isn't
logical, Mark. When a randomly selected jury, that the Defense can challenge during selection, comes to a unanimous decision in a matter of hours...side with them...especially when documented financial records and a first hand witness (Michael Cohen) are involved.
Putin would be proud with your lawfare. Good work comrade.
(no message)
The only "Lawfare" was conducted by Trump to get his "name" off the charging document that put
Cohen in prison...DJT was "Individual-1" who ordered Cohen to fraudulently pay Stormy Daniels.
The ultimate lawfare was the Durham investigation under Orange and Barr. Took a garbage case to
trial and lost even that.
File that under "Projections" by Trump and his MAGA followers...like our very own, BVZ...

You don't even know what you're saying. How can I?
The only one who will remember this meaningless conversation past tomorrow is you. That in itself is pretty damn funny. I have no idea what you're disputing and neither do you.
Just like him being Impeached - it means absolutely nothing. Your side lost the election, move on
and accept it. Try and enjoy the next 4 years, I'm going to.
Trump is now a Convicted Felon who doesn't have to do time or pay $$...he should just 'Move On', yet
his Malignant Narcissism forced him to appeal to the Supreme Court!...that borders on insanity, which is why every reasonable person in the U.S. should oppose him...and we will.
Face it: your band of scoundrels somehow made Trump into a sympathetic figure.
It's life imitating art, it's the sopranos or the godfather.
Happy Now? Fricken Zero

Happy? No. I prefer a President who is not a criminal.
But I agree that the Unconditional Discharge was the only appropriate sentence, given the importance of a President’s need to govern, an enormous power bestowed upon Trump by the American people thru their votes cast in November.
I disagree - he should have received the sentence any other citizen would have received.
He is not above the law - if no other person would have received a different sentencing then
I'll agree to it. Other than that,...!

The verdict was rendered in the court of public opinion, that you won't accept it is your problem.
(no message)
The verdict was rendered by a 12 person jury who heard the evidence.
You can make the argument that the criminal convictions (plus all of Trump’s prior wrongdoing) carried negligible weight with the majority of the electorate, but it is disrespectful to the jurors who swore an oath, heard the case, and found Trump guilty to deny their verdict.

You sure nailed this one. So much confidence in that response. Ha ha.
That post was made roughly a week before JB knocked it out of the park with his SOTU speech, and
had already passed bipartisan Infrastructure and CHIPS Bills that even Republicans took credit for...oversaw reduction in COVID produced Inflation...provided critical support and aid for Ukraine, etc., etc....i.e. he was masterfully fulfilling his role as President...then "The Debate" hit in June, and he did the right thing dropping out after that...which I supported.

Then why did Biden pardon his son? He repeatedly said he wouldn't.
Shouldn't a jury have heard the evidence?
Because 81 million Americans gave Biden that constitutional power.
It doesn’t mean that the jury’s verdict was meritless or that Hunter’s guilty plea to tax charges was invalid.
It simply means that Hunter’s criminal wrongdoing has been formally forgiven by the President of the United States.
Trump may exercise that same power given to him in our most recent election for those who pled guilty or were found guilty in connection with January 6th. See attached.
Contrary to cheeks’ foolhardiness, the outcome of our November election doesn’t mean the January 6th rioters were unfairly or unlawfully convicted.

So Biden Lied and Hunter's case was above the law.

Because Republicans tore up the original agreement that would have eliminated any future
prosecution for Hunter.
What that has to do with Trump's conviction, only you would know.
