Topic: Donald Trump Guilty on All Counts in Hush-Money Case

New York Times live updates

The former president sat largely expressionless, a glum look on his face, after the jury issued its verdict.

I’m unsure how he could reasonably have been described as expressionless if he had a glum look on his face!

Just more "fake news" I guess!

Trump Has Few Ways to Overturn His Conviction as a New York Felon

New York appellate courts rarely overturn a jury decision without evidence of serious errors. The judge in Donald J. Trump’s case closed off many avenues.

Greetings to all.  My last ex-wife paid the ransom, so I am now free to haunt these environs once again.  I am glad to see everyone hale and hearty.

By the way, I am a Never-Trumper.  My loathing for him is beyond measure.

To all:

Since this thread began on a political note, I feel compelled to put in my two cents' worth.

First, I totally, utterly, completely, and without any reservation loathe, detest, and despise Donald J. Trump.  I consider him to be by far the worst cancer ever to infect politics here in the Colonies.  I think my country... indeed the world, would be far better off were he to not be here and his poisonous influence vanish from memory.  That does not mean I want him dead.

I wholly regret the attempt made on his life.  There is no place for that kind of activity here, and the act of that deranged kid escapes all logical explanation and serves only to further stir the pot of discord over here.  Nothing good can come of it.  If anything it may give something of a demented push to Trump in his attempt to regain the Presidency.  His first four years horrified me enough; I cannot imagine suffering four more years of that piggish bastard.

Four more years of Trump would not only harm things here:  The relationships we have long held  dear with you, our brothers across the pond and your European neighbors will suffer.  Economic, political, and mutual defense bonds will be denigrated.  That witless fool lacks the mental firepower to understand the complexities of the treaties and agreements that have bound us all together to our mutual benefit since the end of WWII.  On a good day he is an idiot, and always clearly a sociopath.

His vice-presidential running mate?  Read about him, and grow more afraid.  If anything he is more evil than Trump, and that is saying a great deal.  He is also stronger mentally, which is frightening in itself.

I realize you have your own issues with little things like the aftermath of Brexit and significant changes in political leadership, so I apologize for wailing and moaning about How Awful things are over here.  It seems for some time we Colonials have behaved like we are the only place of significance on Earth, and this is simply pure hubris.  As much as you need us we need you.

If there is indeed a merciful God, let us pray that He will grant us all relief from the harm that Trump and his sycophants may do to us all if so allowed.

Peace.

Biden rather foolishly said something about putting Trump in the bullseye. I seem something very similar coming from Trump in reference to Hillary Clinton some eight years ago. The difference of course can be seen in their statements following this shooting. Biden called for calm and utterly condemned such violence. Trump, on the other hand, raised his fist and shouted "Fight, fight, fight."

Of All the New Lies He Told in Milwaukee, Trump Disturbingly Saved Most of Them for His Account of The Incident in Pennsylvania

At a time he had the sympathy of many Americans over what's being described as an attempted assassination, Trump chose to tell 80+ lies about the incident in 9 minutes. Why? This report has an answer.

This thread actually began with a comment on a criminal case. Nothing political about it, although Donald Trump would have us believe otherwise!
