Former president Donald Trump was convicted on Thursday by a New York jury on 34 felony charges for falsifying business records, making him the first president in U.S. history to become a convicted felon.
Over the past six weeks at the state courthouse in lower Manhattan, the prosecution sought to demonstrate that Trump, his former fixer and attorney Michael Cohen, and National Enquirer publisher David P* participated in a conspiracy to defraud voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election by paying off women to conceal embarrassing stories about the then-presidential candidate’s sexual history without properly recording those payments as campaign-finance expenses.

I went to bed still believing in the United States and woke up in South America. We are doomed if this is not reversed. If you want to be worried about our democracy now is the time. FJB F all of them.

Not a surprise, the criminal justice system has been highly politicized, and in the future any wimpy Republicans after Trump who dare to run for President in the future can look forward to going to court in a highly Democrat District to defend themselves against leftist and progressive Democrat brought criminal persecutions.

When the Founding Fathers established our three branches of government, they anticipated a very weak judicial branch. That's why there's so few "checks and balances" on judges. In reality, many Democratic judges in our country have become tyrants because they know they won't be punished or removed from the bench, despite their illegal or unconstitutional actions. It's next to impossible to remove a crooked judge, and that needs to change.

Democrats have demonstrated tyranny. If any harm comes to Trump, the Civil War is ON. If they use this to try to disenfranchise him on the ballot, the Civil War is ON. He is OUR choice. Denying him is denying us.
Unlike the 1st American Civil War, there will be no mercy shown to traitors.

Okay. Send him to jail now, and make sure he wears the three piece suit: handcuffs in front, attached to belly chain, and ankle restraints that make the "criminal" walk in ploverlike steps. Then take another mug shot. This BS has got to end. And NY state has signed their economic death warrant. We want none of them down here in Florida. (Es)screw them forever, I'll never go back. Maybe the USA needs a breakup after all. Leftism is mental illness.

considering the time spent in "deliberation" (including breaks and general bs-ing) vs 34 charges the jurors averaged less than 30 minutes on each charge. No way 12 people completed it all that quickly. they just wanted to wrap up, go home and not feel threatened by fellow manhattanites.

efin sobs! That judge is corrupt as is the prosecution, I hope they all come to a horrible end and rot in hell. Trump will win on appeal, and that judge should be removed and disbarred! Ass*ol*s, all of them. I am just livid!

A wise man once said, “Everything the left touches turns to s***.” As an American and a lawyer (who graduated from Thomas Jefferson’s alma mater in the 70s), I am saddened even more than angry. Like #10, I truly do feel sick to my stomach.
(To those of you who say now Trump’s going to win in a landslide: How many states will now disqualify him from the ballot? You got enough write-in votes for DJT?)
That reversible error was committed over and over and over again, and that he will get the conviction overturned on appeal, does not matter one whit. The Demonicrats accomplished their goal. They must be so proud. And the Never Trumpers are popping champagne corks right along with them. Bastids.
Es ist vollbracht.

We all know what the numbers 9/11 mean, we now need to refer to this day as 5/30. The saddest day in our country's history when a politician was found guilty solely because he defeated the marxist party's candidate in 2016 and would likely defeat the marxist party's candidate in 2024.

One has to question whether the two attorneys on the jury panel were pre-selected by the DA and his pet judge, as "jury enforcers," like the hired goons that De Niro had surrounding him for his over-the-top anti Trump /pro Biden campaign speech on Tuesday.

NY lefty jurors and you two lefty attorneys on the jury, shame on you for going along with this fraud. Shame on you. Bragg and Merchan, your days for remorse for what you did to this country are coming.
So, America, what are WE Americans going to do about it? As you can see, Amerika is in the room now.

Bragg better get busy charging Stormy Daniels with extortion and Michael Cohen with grand larceny.
