For all of Trump's allies outraged by his conviction.....

[surfered]

....claiming it was a political prosecution, etc, etc, etc, I would remind them that it was the Trump's own Justice Department that indicted Michael Cohen for his participation in this same crime back in 2018.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. Well said. Short and sweet.

[marble falls]

2. The same type of morons who made John Dillenger into some kind of folk hero Robin Hood.

[2naSalit]

3. Reminds me of...

All those magats in office who claim the 2020 election was rigged but not for their elections which they won even though they were on the same ballots.

[surfered]

4. Exactly!

[thenelm1]

23. That simple fact, and their continued wailing, speaks volumes to the abject stupidity of the cult. n/t

[malaise]

5. I suggest they study his history

[surfered]

6. Yes, And I found this...

Trump’s Taj Mahal violated rules related to casino operations on four separate occasions and total fines amounted to $930,000.

Trump University defrauded more than 5,000 people and ordered to pay $25 million as a settlement.

The Trump Corporation and Trump Payroll Corp were found guilty of criminal tax fraud for...wait for it....falsifying business records.

The Trump Foundation was dissolved and Donald Trump had to pay $2 million to several charities as a fine for misusing his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

A State Court found that Donald trump and his sons were liable for fraud for misstating the value of assets to banks and insurance companies . Donald Trump was ordered to pay $454 million and the Trump Organization's business certification was revoked in New York.

20. Thanks for that

A criminal con

25. Back in the day, the USFL actually won a suit against the NFL and its monopoly...

on professional football. Trump was one of the USFL team owners (NJ Generals). Long story short, Trump was present at trial and was called upon to testify. In essence, he was such an obnoxious twit during the trial, that even though the USFL won the suit, they were awarded a total of $1 ($3 considering the tripling of damages). And the USFL soon ceased to exist. End of story. (Even when he wins, he's still a loser.)

[Marcuse]

42. It was worse. He double crossed his USFL partners and tried to get an NFL team for himself. Rozelle said never.

[mdbl]

7. no use trying to talk sense to people with TDS

Which is what all the magats have.

[thenelm1]

26. And then some... n/t

[dlk]

8. Trump ally, Tom Barrack, was acquitted

Do Trump supporters believe his trial was rigged, as well?

[mwb970]

10. Elections and trials are only rigged when the republican loses.

[dlk]

12. Of course

Such a sad collection of childish whiners.

[malaise]

32. THI#

Effin idiots

[mwb970]

9. trump keeps saying the trial was "rigged".

Questions. How, and by whom? What is the evidence supporting this claim? Why was this evidence not made part of the trial by the trump legal team? Will the "rigging" of the trial be the basis for his inevitable appeal?

[patphil]

14. Things are always "rigged" when Trump loses.

At least he says so, and we know he always tells the truth; Trump truth that is...just a little different from the actual truth.

[thenelm1]

28. Trump, the pied piper of lemmings or the boy who constantly cried wolf?

Which description is more apt?

[japple]

15. All of the comments by his supporters that I've read on social media are saying it's

rigged by Joe Biden

MAGAt1: WITCH HUNT - I don’t identify with any party, I just look at who is best for my well being! This was a WITCH HUNT! Senile dementia president, lunatic vice president who thinks everything is funny and a joke, most can’t afford groceries and medicine. I’ll take Trump any day! Felony conviction - so what, it’s a sham, I don’t give a crap what he did with a porn star, I didn’t care about Marilyn, Mary Jo, Paula or Monica they were grown ups who made their decisions . What a joke!! I’m sorry that many lost their lives and I feel for their families.
MAGAt2: they turned a mistemeaner into a felony , the judge wlas a Biden supporter, Allen brag ran on getting trump, NY is very liberal this is no surprise but set back and watch trumps poll numbers go up.
... past the statue of limitation
...funny how lawyers who are not trump fans even liberals say this is a joke and all political, they took the word of Cohn who's lied under oath many times and a porno star. Again why didn't they go after Trump years ago for this? We all know why.

[thenelm1]

30. Early onset dementia appears to be a serious problem among some subset of the population, yes? n/t

[NanaCat]

41. No need to bring in dementia

When bloody f'n stupid is the actual problem.

I realise the two conditions can look alike, but, honestly, terminal stupid is more often the reason.

[B.See]

36. On 'witch hunts' and such

[soldierant]

39. Of course all of both quotes are B/S/

But what struck me was the connemt that the judge turned a misdemeanor into a felony. No he didn't. The state legislatures and governor at the time who signed it did that when they passed the law maing this misde meanor intoa felony if anf only if there was another crime involved.

[Martin Eden]

44. Baseless assertions are the stock in trade of a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR

Facts, evidence and truth play no part in what The Fascist Grifter says. Whatever serves his interest in the moment becomes the narrative.

Fact checking is ineffective because the landslide of lies piling up for years upon years has built a foundation of normalcy.

[Ohioboy]

11. Good reminder

[PatSeg]

13. But, but, but......

....they'll never see it, unless perhaps his crimes happen to them, but probably not even then.

Over the years, his hold on these people will wear off, but it will probably take a long time. Meanwhile, they'll start to pack away their stupid hats, t-shirts, and god-awful flags while they go back to watching mind-numbing television and drinking Lite beer.

[Tickle]

29. I hope you are right.

His campaign made 52.8 million in 24 hours

[B.See]

31. No... HE did.

[Tickle]

33. It was in the New York times

I'm on my phone and can't link but if you are in a position to Google you can look it up

[B.See]

34. Oh I believe you. My point is, his campaign didn't make it. HE did. As usual, most if not all of that money

is going right into tsf's POCKETS.

[Tickle]

37. How expensive is the

commissary at rikers island? Asking for a friend 😂🤣😆😱

[PatSeg]

46. Ha, ha, ha!

[PatSeg]

35. I don't think they can sustain this level of support

much longer. I'm surprised it lasted this long considering the attention span of some of these people.

[Marcuse]

43. So says he.

[4lbs]

16. Logic is another 'L' word like LOST and LOSER.

[Mblaze]

17. Angry Trumpies need to remember, or be reminded

That Trump paid a $25 million settlement to the students he defrauded with his online university and had his Trump Charities disbanded and paid a $2 million settlement to the charities he defrauded by using their funds for his personal campaign expenses - WHILE HE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

[llmart]

18. We really do have to stop trying to understand or psychoanalyze these morons.

They will never change simply because they are not too bright (I'm being tactful here) and extremely gullible and no one or any one incident is ever going to change their minds or make them smarter.

I choose to save my emotional energies for more important people - people who at least try to educate themselves and not find their information on Tik Tok or Fakebook.

[Justice matters.]

40. "very angry ... said Biden should have "pardoned" Trump"

He's either ignorant or a shameless propagandist.

Presidents can't pardon state-law convicted felons, only federal-law ones.

[littlemissmartypants]

22. And with Bar as AG had the NY office drop further investigation...

[Cha]

24. Good to know.. tY! And Wow!

[Blue Owl]

27. K&R

[RicROC]

38. we are MAGA *sarcasm*

We are Making America Great Again when a long standing CRIMINAL is convicted of 34 counts.
It's not our 'tfg derangement syndrome' which accuses him of criminality- our fellow citizens have confirmed it.
AND we have 3 more trials to go, plus two others if those states AGs get their act together.

Yes, America is on the right track now that old Joe has led US with the help of competent advisors.

[Different Drummer]

45. K&R!
