I never enjoyed reading history in grade school. I eventually took an American history course at a junior college during a summer in order to fulfill a university requirement. IIRC it was pretty much 19th century, and I quite enjoyed it.I'm talking about the history books that'll be used to brainwash the youth in American schools.
Great, now there will be a diaper shortage.@gothuevos You were wrong yet again….
Only way to have an opinion is to wait for the jury.Whoa, I never would have guessed that Donald Trump is a criminal. Who could have known before now?
LOL wut? SC justices have lifetime appointments; clearly Alito and Thomas DGAF about improprieties, and are more than happy to do everything they can to "pwn the libs."SCROTUS is irrelevant in this instance. It's possible that they could decide something after their next term starts in October, but they're already in such deep shit, they'd be smart to just STFU
Although correct, wouldn't these convictions be misdemeanors if the FEC deemed there to have been no federal campaign finance violation? I read there's also a potential statute of limitations argument; usually only 5 years but the clock was paused because Trump moved his domicile to Florida. I'm not a laywer, but SCOTUS will Calvinball this shit if it ever gets to them.Under NY law, you don't have to be convicted of the other crimes to be found guilty of these felonies. That makes it distinct from Federal law that many commentators are familiar with.
And regardless of the sentence, he'll be free for months or maybe another year.I forget to pay a parking ticket I go to jail but this motherfucker's going to walk from a felony conviction with 34 counts with probation and at worst home confinement.
No, the FEC has no input here and regardless the FEC would never make a determination that this isn’t a violation in a million years. 0% chance of that.LOL wut?

But the crimes occured when he was a New York resident running a NY registered business. NY also has campaign finance laws and whatnot.LOL wut?

‘He will never be indicted!’ - Trump is indicted.
‘He will never be convicted!’ - Trump is convicted.
‘He will never serve jail time!’ - we will see!
People who say he will not see jail time could well be right as it is uncommon for first time convictions. That being said, there are major aggravating factors here that could lead to jail time. Namely that he has a well established court record of fraud, so in many ways he is not a first time offender.
Months? Probably. A year? I seriously doubt that.And regardless of the sentence, he'll be free for months or maybe another year.
OMG yes! CS in a prison jump suit - you know, just in case he tries to scamper. HahahaOnly 10-30% of class E felonies include jail time
But lolllll community service!!!!!!!!
But in solid gold - just for the contrast.Ankle monitor.
I was very confident in this outcome as soon as he lost the 2020 election.That was me. I am totally stunned. I thought for sure there would be at least one Trump supporter to hang the jury...I do not expect him to get any jail time...the logistics if that would be ridiculous...and I still expect the USSC to find fault and overturn the conviction later.
"Even Trump won't vote for himself. He can't vote since he's a felon."Oh please please please make a you can’t vote ad… someone. For the love of everything!
Trump's prison SS would be the Aryan Brotherhood. Probably will offer them all pardons.I was very confident in this outcome as soon as he lost the 2020 election.
I’m not sure if he will get jail time for this but it is a definite possibility and the logistics don’t have to be that ridiculous. Prisons incarcerate famous people reasonably frequently, after all, and there’s no requirement he keep secret service protection.
As for if SCOTUS would overturn this I tend to think no. SCOTUS has definitely shown bias for Trump but they have exercised this by slow walking unfavorable cases before (usually) ruling against Trump.
