I hope that things don’t kick off in the US.

I just spoke to an American friend. She's delighted at the verdict, but worried about rioting.Sad

So pleased! It’s my birthday and what a lovely present!

He could get 4 years in prison but I’m sure he won’t!

Gary on the bbc said 4 years for each crime (34 of them)

shellyleppard · 30/05/2024 22:38

Now we wait for the sentencing......i cheered at the guilty verdict. He blamed the judge!!!! Silly boy

lemonyellows · 30/05/2024 22:39

Crazy to think he can still run with a criminal record for election fraud. Surely US needs to see how screwed up their rules are.

SuePreemly · 30/05/2024 22:39

Couldn't have happened to a nicer man 😏

Lighteningkip · 30/05/2024 22:39

He will appeal. It's still good news but this isn't over. His base don't give a damn that's he's crooked. This will only serve to incite them further. There is zero proof that Biden has done a single same thing criminal.

The legal correspondent on NBC said it's four years total; they're concurrent, not stacked.

What's Biden done? What charges does he face?

If prosecutors decide he's commit a crime, and when a grand jury agrees then charges will be filed. That's the system.

Delighted! Now, will it stop him winning the election? Could the US have a jailed president!

Unfortunately it could help him win the election

They won't jail him - he will get a fine and maybe probation. For the twats that support him this will make him more popular.

Jellykat · 30/05/2024 22:41

Wont make any difference to him as a Narcissist, or his brain dead followers i'm afraid.. and i bloody hope the judge and jurors have protection.

But at least it confirms what everyone else already thought about the Lizard man.

MrsSkylerWhite · 30/05/2024 22:43

Has he? Oh Lordy, hang out the fucking flags.
cant help but worry he’ll squirm out of it somehow though.

BlowDryRat · 30/05/2024 22:44

I really hope this doesn't lead to violence. The judge and jurors are very brave people.

I also really hope that this puts off enough swing voters that he won't be in the WH this time next year.

MrsSkylerWhite · 30/05/2024 22:44

Can he still stand during appeal?

Overtheatlantic · 30/05/2024 22:45

Yay!!!!! 🥳

The riot at the Capitol should have been the end of him. I don't understand how he escaped prosecution for inciting the insurrection, and I don't understand how his core supporters didn't see through him for not turning up in person and leading the charge.

He is indeed facing criminal charges for the capitol riots, but not until after the election.

TooBigForMyBoots · 30/05/2024 22:47

I don't think it will help him win the election. Despite what his campaign say, elections are won and lost by the middle. Existing Trump lovers will love him all the more. Floating voters will be turned off.

If the Republican Party chose him as their Presidential candidate, more fool them.

This is correct

Sure his diehard followers don't care but polls showed something like 25% of Republicans would not vote for him if convicted

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/05/2024 22:16

He could run from a jail cell. Could he serve from a jail cell? Strange times.

He's unlikely to be given a custodial sentance for a first offence, although there are three other criminal trials pending, including the incitement, which lead to storming the Capitol.

The important thing is that he is now a convicted felon so less electable.

feellikeanalien · 30/05/2024 22:53

He's absolutely awful but sadly all his supporters will see this as a conspiracy to stop him running for president. I do have to say that if I was an American I would be totally disillusioned by the choice of presidential candidates.

dapsnotplimsolls · 30/05/2024 22:53

I think he'll get fines rather than jail time. Hopefully the waverers will go for Biden now.

tobee · 30/05/2024 22:53

Come on! Hurry up with the other trials already! So many delays!
