Hahahaha.... he can't even visit Canada now. "Criminally inadmissible". Great head of state you're voting for republicans.
Does this constitute a felony not of moral turpitude?
Cause if so, he can’t vote for himself in his home state.
He committed a felony of moral turpitude. He's permanently inadmissible.
And republicans, the "Law and Order" party, will still vote for this man.
I’m sure this will be endlessly delayed by every kind of legal maneuver possible, and I personally don’t expect the sentence to include prison time, but I don’t care. The motherfucker has been found GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS. That’s good enough for me.
They don't even have to delay endlessly.
They just need to say it's all rigged against him, take the presidency and pardon himself and his cronies.
His base thinks falsifying records is "smart" and the banks are dumb for falling for it. They still think he's a stable genius
He can't pardon himself from a state crime.
Ha, you say that like laws are gonna matter when he takes office.
President can't pardon state crimes.
Not with that attitude. You need the 'tear down the rule of law from the foundation up' attitude that Trump has.
I trust the tough on crime Republicans will be appalled and change their vote since they're so against felons being involved in the democratic process--or are those just the darker-skinned ones it applies to?
"Not like that" - Republikkklowns.
This dude is such a sleazy scum. Well done republicans you have picked a winner.
They're not sending their best. They're sending rapists, druggies, felons, and racists in a single package.
From CNN:
Judge Juan Merchan sets a sentencing hearing for July 11 at 10 a.m. ET
Seems like a long delay, is that typical in a high profile case like this?
He has another trial in Florida they had to schedule around.
Its weird that thats going on again, what happened to the indefinite suspension?
Well, you see, he's got money and a few like-minded friends...
He has make believe money in the stock market and properties he doesn't want to sell but apparently no cash.
He did just sell a jet for $10mil+ to raise money to pay legal fees. It turning out that the sale has some possibly illegal parts so now it's turning into the latest criming on his docket to deal with, though.
He somehow turns every simple interaction into a felony.
They requested the delay to July, since he is in court for another case in another area. I suppose it was reasonable to grant it. It'd be unfair for someone to not get their right to a trial, even if they were found guilty of a crime in another area.
It'd make more sense to keep him in custody in the meantime though. I mean, that's what they do for normal people. Right?
The Bankman-Fried one was even longer.
grab him by the pussy
(Trump's) poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.

NPR polling indicates that only a small percentage of Republicans would be affected by a guilty verdict.
11 % of independents said they'd be less likely to vote for Trump.
Small amounts of Republicans would be less likely to vote for Trump with a guilty verdict. I believe that I heard 7% on the radio, but I can't find a news article to back that up.
I highly doubt any 2024 Republican, let alone 7%, have any actual reservations whatsoever about casting their vote directly for Trump.
Like: I think I can safely say 7% of Republican voters are obligate grifters and liars too for its worth.

Bold statement!
This reminds me of that simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob becomes republican mayor via voter fraud.
Kinda nice to actually see the court and sentencing part happen in real life instead of another dr evil retiring with zero consequences.
So far it's largely just a historical footnote. Wait until sentencing before you get too excited. I'd wager those consequences you speak of are mostly wishful thinking.
I had to Google this to make sure it was real.
Now is he gonna be like Bannon and ignore sentencing because there are no consequences for doing so?
