... to be over the moon that Trump has been found GUILTY on all 34 charges?

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Whoop whoop!

They could reimagine The West Wing! Can't think that Jeb would be jailed, the greatest Pres they never had!

Jed would have taken it in his stride, like the complete gentleman he was 🥰

I'm an American and all I can say is WELL DONE to our legal system! 12 ordinary people just proved, once again, that no one is above the law. Trump may want to be a dictator, but those sensible New Yorkers aren't having it.

For his 'core supporters ' the invasion of the Capitol' was not wrong, talking to people in middle America can be very disturbing, there is a very Wild West mentality. What we get on TV is usually East and West coast but there's a lot we rarely see and that's the Trump powerbase. I predict he will incite even more violence about this verdict, Goethe jurors are being protected.

Goethe??? Hope the

Do you think think they'll suffer for it/ get found out?

I do worry about one of Trump's deranged fans going after a juror, more likely the judge.

There seems to be a lot less of them now at least. Less of the Jan 6 mentality. I do hope they're all looked after though.

Sad but true.

It'll reaffirm to himself that people think he's so god like they need him out of the way.

Doesn’t mean a thing. Amongst his supporters this guilty verdict works to his narrative that the establishment don’t like him and ergo don’t like his supporters and he is the saviour of the US.
He will appeal and win. Come the elections Biden is not going to win. Hopefully things will come down in the Middle East before a change of US government but I doubt that very much.

If he's elected then in 4.5 years time he could pardon himself on his last day in office 20 January 2029!

Thats apparently technically possible. So the plan will be to leave his appeal as late as possible, win the election (whilst I hate him I think he’s got a good chance) and then pardon himself, thereby completing a full circle.
Everytime I dispair about politics in the UK I just look at the U.S. and remember that some countries are even worse messes!

L.o.l 🤣 😂😅 whooped shouted out "quite right arsehole " and someone a passerby heard you outside your window etc,

The sentence he will get will be very lenient. It's highly unlikely he will go to prison, and if he does, he will be in a cushy place, far away from any dangerous individuals, and even then it would only be for a few months.

This verdict will actually make him more popular. His supporters will be out in force.

Talk about an own goal.

Their attempts to destroy him have just made him stronger.

It’ll just help him in his run for president.

It's genuinely surprised me - I didn't have much hope on such a verdict and assumed we'd get a hung verdict.

Even more so when you consider all jurors had to find him guilty to avoid a hung verdict and one of them said they only got their news from X and Truth Social.

I think the conviction is flimsy and will be overturned on appeal. It looks like foul play by the democrats due to the timing...

What makes you think it's flimsy? The DA's office collected and sifted evidence, then presented it to a grand jury, which concluded that charges were justified. They had to present their evidence to a judge at preliminary hearings and the judge approved it.

Trump tried to have 60 alleged election fraud cases heard, in different states, but failed because "I have heard," and "A lot of people are saying," do not constitute evidence. Sydney Powell and other Trump lawyers were sanctioned for wasting court time, fined and made to write letters of apology.

He also leant on judges personally, to try to get them to approve cases against his enemies, even commenting, "She's ungrateful and disloyal, I gave her the job!" He misunderstood the separation of the judiciary and Government, assuming that they were simply a weapon in his personal arsenal.

What makes you think that Biden, or the Democratic Party would be able to influence judges? Trump certainly couldn't.

Also, if the charges were flimsy, his lawyers could have appealed to a higher court, to get the case dismissed. They didn't, because they didn't have a leg to stand on. There was a wealth of evidence, including cheques and instructions, with his signature on them.

It was a whole lot more than Stormy Daniels and Cohen bad-mouthing him for revenge. He channelled the hush money through Cohen and entered them into his business records as legitimate legal advice, writing them off against tax.

The conviction seems solid.

Social media has alllowed the village idiots to all find each other.

daily mail already going with likes such as “gloating liberal nitwits”.

sadly for the intellectually challenged, this verdict just continues to feed into their bonkers conspiracy theory led minds that Trump is some kind of messiah who is being persecuted by those in power.

It wouldn’t be any better if he had been found innocent on that front. But at least he has had to face his own misdeeds for once.

No doubt this WILL hit him in the polls. The ones that want to martyr him will have done it anyway - he’s certainly not going to win any new votes this way. But there may be some unease now in his fundamentalist Christian base.

It's a landslide for Trump! 34/34!

Will he be sent to prison?

I agree. He will win the election, despite this, I think. This is 'just' a pay off to a lover. The more important trial is the inciting an insurrection, but this is another example of the inflexibility of the US consititution that he may be found guilty of subverting democracy and inciting an insurrection against the government and still be President. The good thing about their system is that in a maximum of 4 years, both Trump and Biden will be gone, win or lose. Trump didn't manage to do anything really the last time, good or bad, apart from making America a laughing stock.

The fundamentalist Christians base, hypocrites that they are didn't care about his multiple affairs, allegation of paying for abortions, his multiple marriages etc

Social media has alllowed the village idiots to all find each other. Daily mail already going with likes such as “gloating liberal nitwits”.

The level of ignorance and disinformation on there is staggering. Loads of "He committed no known crime," "Clinton paid hush money, why isn't he in jail," and "Why isn't Hunter Biden getting prosecuted? The Dems are protecting him!"

They're not, H Biden is in court next Monday.

There's absolutely no convincing these moronic fanatics.

Yep.

seen several comments already that this was just paying off some “chick” “hooker” “slut”.
