This is all going just swimmingly. The polling is landing exactly where youâd think after a presidential candidates becomes a convicted felon: not so good for the freshly minted felon.
I almost want to thank Trump for this. He could have just pleaded out like literally every other person involved and gotten a big slap on the wrist, but still a wrist slap. Misdemeanors, maybe soft probation, big fine. No one would care enough for it to get traction.
Now you have a âlaw-and-orderâ presidential candidate with thirty four Fs. Who can never own a gun ever again and, without De Santis directly intervening, wouldnât be able to vote in his own election. And itâs questionable whether that will stand up under court scrutiny.
This wasnât a bench trial or a plea deal. A jury of twelve decided his fate, and even lickspittle conservative justices are extremely hesitant to overturn jury trial verdicts.
Itâs funny, your conservative justices youâre so fond of ruled back in the 80s or 90s that factual innocence is not sufficient reason to overturn a jury verdict. Even if he was innocent. Which even you know that heâs not.
Crooked Joe ring any bells? How about The Biden Crime Family. Has a nice ring to it doesnât it? And sure why not may as well throw in the whole family. Whose counting.
Unconvicted of course but whoâs splitting hairs.
Anyhow, carry on.
OMG! is Newsweek still around? Last time I saw a print copy of that rag it was only about 20 pages and half of them were advertisements for hearing aids, step-in bathtubs and staircase lifts.
