edit: I have changed my title to match the new NYTimes headline. Sorry about the all caps, I guess they are really excited about this lol
Also shoutout to @[email protected] who shared a gift article link in the comments. I hope you don’t mind but I kinda stole it and updated the post
Definitely an appeal incoming. No way it gets overturned before the election, right?
Let us be happy for a day.
No, but if sentenced to prison, will he be imprisoned during the appeal? Or will they let him out on house arrest and allow him to campaign within the state?
it definitely could
I am here. I am happy.

Yes, I believe so.
Not a fucking chance this matters. I really wish it would, but it won’t sway any folks that weren’t already swayed.
Sure it will. All those people who are last minute deciders will be reminded of this up until election day.
Not the hat wearers, but between 5 and 20 percent of undecided voters say 8n surveys that it matters to them. Not a lot (5% of maybe 10%) but it’s an election where some states are won by 11 thousand votes (under 1% margin).
Former President and convicted felon, Donald J Trump
In other news, some little-known actor committed multiple felonies. Probably will end up on the front of grocery store tabloids. ;)
More of a cameo, not a star.
Don’t forget “rapist”. He was never convicted, but he was found liable for rape, so you don’t even need to say “alleged”.
Yes. Former President, convicted felon, and rapist, Donald J Trump.

Damn paywall.
uBlock Origin is your friend…
Yes it is, I have it installed. It doesn’t stop the paywall though.
Check your settings. I can read it just fine but simply clicking the link. 🤷🏽♂️
Thank you! And oh man what joy to read!
He is largely expressionless, a glum look on his face, as “guilty” has just been heard 34 times.
I am going to be sad when I wake up.
Why?
Because then I would know it was just a dream.
Did you make this mockup or has the current state of American legal reporting devolved into a Sportsnet style scoreboard?
Has always been, even without the graphics. The adversarial system makes it a competition with a scoreboard
Looks just like CSPAN vote charts. You thinking of sports is you.
American legal reporting devolved into a Sportsnet style scoreboard?
How else are we supposed to understand it? Go away, I’m batin.
It’s because that’s the level the average American can understand.
The GOP could have gotten off this wild ride at so many points in the last 8 years, yet here we are. A republican presidential nominee who has been convicted of felonies.
Edit: And with Biden’s poll numbers they could have run literally anybody else and won.
Guilty on the first count.
Edit: Counts 2~34 guilty.
We got a total sweep.

Ok so if sentencing is July 11, what happens on that day? If the sentence includes imprisonment, does he go straight from court to jail?
He van and will appeal before then though right? If other cases are any indication he’ll file an appeal which will delay any outcome until after November.
Typically, if sentencing includes a prison sentence, you do go straight in
Having read some other commentary it seems unlikely that these felonies will attract a prison sentence though. Too bad.
There are several countries that won’t approve your visa if you are convicted felon.
It’s an indication that we’re not “sending our best”
He deserves to be.
So TIL my parents will be voting for a convicted felon in November 🤦♀️
Oh hey there sibling! We’ve got the same parents! And in-laws!
I would like to formally and publicly apologize to Juror #2 for the aspersions I had cast upon his character. I am sorry for doubting you and your motives, Juror #2.
Same. But good on them for seeing the truth.
