LIVE UPDATES: TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS IN HUSH-MONEY CASE
Twelve New Yorkers are expected to deliver their verdict shortly in the case against Donald J. Trump. He is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a payment to a porn star.
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 @SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone who shared a gift article link in the comments. I hope you don't mind but I kinda stole it and updated the post

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Trump is a fucking convicted felon and a serial rapist. Fuck him. Now on to sentencing.
There may have been some light treason also
Who among us has never committed a tiny bit of light treason though…
I have a confession... I never said the Pledge of Allegiance. I always just mouthed watermelon and put my left hand over the wrong side... Republicans probably think I'm more treasonous than Trump.
I'm a teacher and have to pretend to be a good boy during the daily pledge. I have kept this up since high school: I always pledge allegiance to the United Snakes of America, and.end with reminding myself that there is really only liberty and justice for the rich and famous.
I think it's my bad memory of Jello Biafra's remake
Edit: Words are hard.
I never did the pledge. In fact, I never bothered to learn it.
PS: Never went to school in US
nataku nox guilty on all count
It's "Klaatu Verata Nektu", you fool!
I said your damn words!
"Real men wear diapers."
Edit: typo
According to the posts, Trump supporters began to appear at rallies donning diapers and holding signs that said "Real Men Wear Diapers." Some of them reportedly nicknamed the former president "Diaper Don," and one woman wore a sweater that said "Diapers Over Dems."
I'm glad to see the Snopes writers having fun with it lol
Just a smidge.
I just about said "as long as there's no barrotry" but I'm not 100% convinced he hasn't done that now too...
Steady as a rock!
The sentence for him will likely be akin to a wrist slap.
Could be the initial breach in the dam. If this knocks Cannon off the bench, that classified docs case should be enough to bury him under the prison.
How could this knock Cannon off the bench? I haven't heard anything about that yet but if it's a realistic possibility that's a sweet ass cherry on top
Not directly, but that's the thing with houses built of cards. It doesn't take much after the initial push.
And here I thought impeachment was the initial breach in the dam. All this guy's political career, people have been assuring me "This is it, he's toast."
He could run from prison, so there's no deus ex machina here.
When November comes around Americans are either going to be smart enough to reelect Biden or stupid enough to let a convicted felon, serial rapist, election denying, wannabe dictator slob take over the most powerful nation on Earth.
I know what I'm doing. Let's see if everyone else can pass the basic intelligence test known as "election 2024".
Take a 5 min peruse of r/republican... I fear for all
His cult still held sway during the impeachment, and they'd tied all their hopes to him.
They don't still hold sway now?
In a sane world, between a boring white guy with mild accusations of not doing enough to stop a war, and a snake oil salesman promising to rip down transgender protections and murder his opponents, there should be absolutely no chance of the latter winning a single state. Half of America is still wrapped up in his damn cult.
No, they're flailing wildly. They sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind. The Dems handed them everything they ever wanted for the border, and they voted against it. Mitch was their most brilliant strategist. He's on the way out. He's prepping Johnson to replace him, but anything could happen in a power vacuum. Russian money is faltering. An untouchable billionaire just got his ass handed to him. The GOP is internally divided, and anything BUT in control.
Dammit. My erection was just going down and now you gotta talk dirty like this?
I'm not so sure...
I went into this trial knowing that it was the least of Trump's crimes and thinking that some brainwashed cultist would turn it into a hung jury. I was wrong, and instead we ended up with 34 consecutive guilty verdicts in less than 12 hours.
Now Trump is going to be sentenced by a judge who he has repeatedly called disgraceful and corrupt after weeks of sleep shitting through the trial. He has shown zero remorse and zero respect for the law. So other than the mythology of Teflon Don, why should the judge sentence him with anything less than he deserves?
