This is going to fire up the base. It probably will be a huge polling lift to Trump. Over half the population thinks it a kangaroo court. 

pppfffftttt....his 35-40% base is perpetually aggrieved

this will do nothing because none of them were gonna stay home anyway

Yup no GOP will change their mind. They are still posting the Biden memes... even more voraciously. The non Trumpers will just stay home. No way they vote for "the crypt keeper commie."

This won't change the minds of the reluctant Dems who don't want Biden. If they were gonna stay home before this, this doesn't change that.

This Independents still seem mythical to me. If the indictments didn't move them, not sure conviction in this case will. Not sure they are even paying attention. Probably just non voters.

I still think it comes down to which party hates their candidate the least and shows up to vote. Don't think this verdict has any impact on that.

But the margin is razor thin so who knows?

I think we've finally found the equivalent replacement for this, eh @NorCalCoug?

 

 

 

We've got the entire slew of 2020 Election losers to look back on.

Let's not forget, Trump insulted the Judge several times during the trial and he even insulted his daughter.

Amd all you other Trump defenders and enablers. This is what you are rooting for.

A guy who will be hell bent on revenge. Who will make decisions based on who brings him the biggest bags of cash. A guy who will force the entire system to bend knee to him.

Simply because you love his Authoritarian Rhetoric

Among ways my marriage differs from Trump's is that my wife didn't marry me for my money, my wife knows I've been a good father to our son, my wife can believe me when I say I've never cheated on her, I've never been convicted of even a misdemeanor much less 34 felonies during our marriage, I have neither orange hair nor orange skin, and if a journalist claimed that I passed silent but deadly gas in a public forum that wasn't true.

 

For Melania and millions of women like her,

From @emptywheel this morning.  I think this nails the Ş 175.10 to Ş 17-152 nexus as well as any simple explanation:

...And that’s why it is important to emphasize why Donald Trump lost the case, as was made clear by the single substantive question the jurors had: To re-read four passages of testimony, three involving David Pecker.

Those passages made it clear that Trump was personally involved in efforts to kill stories that would harm Trump’s election chances — and that Pecker refused to kill a third, the Stormy Daniels story, in part because he couldn’t have his tabloid be associated with a porn star.

Q. Around this time, in October of 2016, did you also have any conversations with Michael Cohen about Stormy Daniels?

A. Yes, also a number of conversations.

Q. Can you tell the jury about some of those conversations?

A. Michael Cohen asked me to pay for the story, to purchase it.

I said, I am not purchasing this story. I am not going to be involved with a porn star, and I am not — which I immediately said, a bank. After paying out the doorman and paying out Karen McDougal, we’re not paying any more monies.

"Q. How did Michael Cohen take that?

A. He was upset. He said that The Boss would be furious at me and that I should go forward in purchasing it.

I said, I am not going forward and purchasing it. I am not doing it. Period."

Pecker’s testimony, which validated Michael Cohen’s, came from a man who said he still considers Trump a friend. It came from a man who said he viewed Trump as a mentor.

David Pecker spent years spinning fictions. He put that fiction spinning machine to work for Trump’s campaign, attacking his opponents and killing harmful stories.

And then, he told the truth about spinning those fictions. He told the truth about why and how he spun those fictions. He told the truth about Trump’s role in spinning those fictions.

Trump’s success, his persona, has always been a careful creation built on fraud.

And that fraud became criminal in significant part because David Pecker told the truth about the fictions that go into sustaining the fraud. -- emptywheel.net 05.31.24

Have I defended him here?   

Spare me your low IQ clown debate tactics.  I merely pointed out that it’s embarrassing how you idiots have allowed this moron to dominate your delicate states of emotional wellbeing for going on 8 years now, 4 of which the idiot hasn’t even been president.  It’s beyond hilarious he’s still the talk of this little echo chamber. 

That’s not defending Trump.  That pointing out what idiots you all are to let him live rent-free in your delicate little pea-brains.

12 people said he was guilty and not one had a reasonable doubt.  The bar to being found guilty is high 

And that included 2 lawyers and 1 person who gets their news exclusively from truth social.

There is a  portion of the Electorate that will vote for him just because of the outlaw or bad boy image.

Sadly, there's an even larger portion that will vote for him even if he did gun someone down on 5th Avenue in broad daylight.

The guy is dangerous and you claim he's not. You constantly troll the board with TDS claim. You minimize his impact on our Society and political system.

I'm guessing its because deep down you really do want his world.
