Convicted felon Donald J. Trump thread XXX: President Elect

@JimHammer

Apparently a lot while he was in court.

I assume he will still have no problem with that sort of sleeping.

There is simply no world where a conviction for Trump is better than the alternatives.

I can’t tell if you mean this or the opposite of this.

[zimmer4141]

I agree but I ultimately think this is a net negative for amyone outside his hardened base.

Low information voters are drawn to Trump the Comedian, Trump the WINNER GUY, Trump the Racist way more than they are drawn to Trump the crybaby.

This energizes the #Resistance wine moms way more than it energizes the MAGA crowd.

Sounds super familiar to lefties bemoaning Dems for not nuking the filibuster and packing the court (when there’s literally no way they could have done so).

Lol the profile pic couldn’t be more perfect.

Man, this is apparently going to be such a boon for Trump that he would have been crazy not to be convicted. Maybe that explains his shit legal strategy. Trump, always operating on a higher level.

What can’t DT do today that he was able to do last week? When you have a good answer for that, then something has happened.

Vote?

I think he’s allowed to vote pending appeal. Anyway, there aren’t any elections today. Let me know when one happens that he can’t vote in, and that will be a consequence. It’s a minor one, but I’ll give you that.

Some folks having a normal one out here today. I shouted some words of encouragement (“Convicted felons, fuck yeah!”) and they flipped me off.

The thing is that nominally nothing much is going to change for Trump. Probably not going to get any jail time, most likely probation. He’s not going to be thrown in jail like Mandela or have his life ruined like some small fry because they can’t find a job because of a rap sheet or getting hounded out of their small town.

[TheHip41]

Cohen went to jail for this crime. It seems like trump is going to jail as well.

[Danspartan]

Meh, the best thing is that he can’t get pardoned at the federal level.

Good luck to any NY governor that does it.

It will have to be the courts. Yes, we know, SCOTUS will let him off on the FU technicality

Training Day..I'm winning anyway....

[Cactus]

If he loses the election, he’s definitely going to jail if he lives long enough

@nunnehi

34 convictions and the next day you are here saying ‘nothing happens’. You are a wild man.

I definitely didn’t think he would get convicted, but I’ve already gone on record (so no goalpost shifting here!) that conviction alone is not a consequence. If it gets overturned or the sentence is just some sort of warning and some bullshit community service that he won’t actually do, then we’re still at “nothing happens”.

What can’t DT do today that he was able to do last week? When you have a good answer for that, then something has happened.

Vote.
