For me the funniest thing is that this trial is by far the least important one and it probably ends up being unimportant. If he's found guilty on most of the charges - he's not exactly going to jail. I bet he'll get ~6 months of probation. If New York State law stipulates that Trump must meet with this probation officer in person - I'm sure the judge will create a special situation. The officer will to go to Trump which - of course - is the polar opposite of how to works for 99.99+% of people.

With a guilty verdict - Trump might lose some independents but he's the cult leader of the republican party. Libs will be shocked (Shocked!) that "MAGA republicans" and "republicans" mean pretty much the same thing.

Huh, is /u/poppinKREAM still around? Figured somebody paying that close attention would have radicalized at some point in the last 7 years.

Edit: jesus christ they still are, how pathetic

Domino's® Trump Tracker™

It does look a lot like that. It would be hilarious if Domino's sued CNN for using a similar UX to their patented pizza tracker.

When John Edwards ran in 2008 and paid hush money to prevent word of him cheating on his wife who had cancer, he was able to get away with not calling that an illegal campaign expense because he argued it would hurt his reputation regardless of if he was running or not.

I saw a poll that there are non-maga republicans who would not vote for Trump if he is found guilty. Who fucking cares about campaign finance law when it comes to the candidate paying for an NDA instead of getting bribed by lobbyists, and who cares about hiding it as a business expense (which it kind-of is because Trump businesses heavily rely on his personal branding).

All these prosecutors clearly want to be the first to get Trump's ass for their later political careers, Trump does what everyone else does but less competently with worse lawyers.

I’ve heard the walls are closing in on him

It comes from the aggressive cracker privilege of being able to treat the empire as a great spectacle where the most horrifying thing to ever happen is how Donald J. Trump used a butter knife the wrong way as he ordered the murder of non-whites across the globe. Once this attempt falls through, they’ll try going after him for not being fascist enough and daring to pretend to be nice to the ~~inscrutable orientals~~ North Koreans and Russians, which, to be fair, is the one angle that has a non-zero of actually succeeding (though, obviously, the difference is so small that it is practically zero.)

Even if Trump actually gets sentenced and put behind bars, that will only further empower him

He's responsible for the huge lies about the Bidens' business interests in Ukraine that nobody should believe because we have lying eyes that lie to us.

I refuse to learn what a Jamie Raskin is. It sounds like a disease.

Epstein was assassinated and the libs entirely forgot all about him within so many weeks or so - I don't remember exactly. And the Qanon people had already been ignoring Epstein so they didn't care. And least the Qanon people have an excuse for their delusions and myopia. They're crazy.

You can really get away with anything if you're born rich in this country.

That's the most important thing but - of course - the libs will entirely ignore it. 99.99999+% of Americans would have gone immediately to jail (in pre-trail detention) if they had 1/100th of the files Trump kept in Mar-a-Lago. And then they would have been convicted and sentenced to decades in jail. But Trump's handpicked judge will make sure his case don't go to trial before the election. And if he loses the election - she'll surely kill it.

They've slow walked the entire thing so as to cross every t and dot every i and preserve faith in our institutions and all its done is make the case that the institutions are fucking broken as all hell and the powerful do not face consequences.

Or he gets convicted and becomes President again.

That - by far - is worse for the lib psyche. The conviction will prove to be utterly meaningless. Also Trump can then use his presidency to end the two federal trials and I assume it will be fairly easy for him to kill the Georgia trial too. And that will be that!
