Yeeeesss! Would it be hopelessly optimistic to think he might go to jail now?

@BIossomtoes just been covering that on BBC News could be some weeks or months till sentencing and he will probably appeal. The sentence per offence could be 4 years or there could be suspended sentence, probation or fines

But, but, but, the polls are narrowing! According to some deluded Mumsnetters...

Thanks for the new thread@DuncinToffee

616 homes in Surrey have been told not to drink their tap water by Thames Water.
The supplier has warned households in Bramley, just south of Guildford, that their water contains higher levels of hydrocarbons, making it unsafe.
Customers should not use their water supply for drinking, cooking or brushing their teeth, but they can continue to use the water to shower and wash hands.

Oh no! Trump has just made speech, guess what? It's all a stitch up and he didn't do nothing guv. God help us all.

Sentence on 11 July according to the Trump thread

The gag order is still in place - not that I expected him to respect that.

Appeal denied by the judge (though he can appeal that) and sentencing 11 July, four days before the Republicans confirm him as their candidate.

It is AdamRyan- name changed to a lady name!
Great thread title Duncin! Just watching the Trump news 😱

"Trump's team is requesting a date of mid-to-late July for sentencing because of a conflict with another court hearing in Florida."

Busy guy!!

Shame the verdict didn't happen during QT, would have loved to see Nige's reaction

👐

@DuncinToffee thought you would enjoy this

Wonderful news: Trump found guilty!

Now I'm going to be so confused. 🫤

Sorry, bigly late to the party. Thanks for the thread. Looking forward to all the Trump memes tomorrow !

I'd better get another picture steal it from dh of the cats for the next thread's cat tax, as I'm sure that this thread will fill up very quickly with the shenanigans on both sides of the Pond

It's a bad time when I agree with piers Morgan
Actually I love the vicar on QT though 😍

Borrowed cat for tax payment.

Just checking in before it all moves on too fast! I've been out all evening and there's been a lot to catch up on since I got home!

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee

That cat looks too beautiful to be true!

I'm feeling in a very skittish mood since the Trump verdicts.

Not had time to gather the cat tax, but in the mean time, here's a great one about hiding the eye rolling girl;
