There's a whole group of unreconstructed 2017 liberals who have been holding out like those Japanese soldiers on the Pacific islands after WWII
They are reading the Steele Dossier and talking about Carter Page. They have memorized every Tweet that Louise Mensch ever posted. They know that Putin is gearing up to steal another election. They are breathlessly sharing EPIC CLAPBACKS by Nancy Pelosi. They are replying to r/politics posts by u/PoppinKREAM. They are analyzing the attire of world leaders in obsessive detail in case there might be a snarky broach. They are awaiting this verdict with bated breath. The fate of democracy, no, the world is literally at stake
These people are as detached from reality as the most Q-pilled uncle, but they are at least much less likely to own a gun, and plunking them down in front of CNN or NPR can have a soothing effect if they get too agitated and start thinking about doing anything that might have an actual impact on the world
For me the funniest thing is that this trial is by far the least important one and it probably ends up being unimportant. If he's found guilty on most of the charges - he's not exactly going to jail. I bet he'll get ~6 months of probation. If New York State law stipulates that Trump must meet with this probation officer in person - I'm sure the judge will create a special situation. The officer will to go to Trump which - of course - is the polar opposite of how to works for 99.99+% of people.
With a guilty verdict - Trump might lose some independents but he's the cult leader of the republican party. Libs will be shocked (Shocked!) that "MAGA republicans" and "republicans" mean pretty much the same thing.
I said when they first charged him that if Trump spends even a single day in prison I will eat my own dick and I stand by it
Huh, is /u/poppinKREAM still around? Figured somebody paying that close attention would have radicalized at some point in the last 7 years.
Edit: jesus christ they still are, how pathetic
Can someone write and shoot a porno where this trial was about the Stormy Daniels thing, and they make a big show about how her description of his penis is so distinct and unique that it must really be true, then juror number 8 slams down a dildo on the table that fits the description perfectly?
IDK just putting it out there.

It does look a lot like that. It would be hilarious if Domino's sued CNN for using a similar UX to their patented pizza tracker.
I caught a bit of some ghouls on MSNBC who were really digging into what they imagine the perception is of the trial among the average American
I laughed out loud and said "normal americans do not give a shit about this" and made the MSNBC watcher angry
When John Edwards ran in 2008 and paid hush money to prevent word of him cheating on his wife who had cancer, he was able to get away with not calling that an illegal campaign expense because he argued it would hurt his reputation regardless of if he was running or not.
I saw a poll that there are non-maga republicans who would not vote for Trump if he is found guilty. Who fucking cares about campaign finance law when it comes to the candidate paying for an NDA instead of getting bribed by lobbyists, and who cares about hiding it as a business expense (which it kind-of is because Trump businesses heavily rely on his personal branding).
All these prosecutors clearly want to be the first to get Trump's ass for their later political careers, Trump does what everyone else does but less competently with worse lawyers.
I honestly forgot that about Edwards lmao
Makes it even funnier
I wonder if they actually expect anything to come of this.
It comes from the aggressive cracker privilege of being able to treat the empire as a great spectacle where the most horrifying thing to ever happen is how Donald J. Trump used a butter knife the wrong way as he ordered the murder of non-whites across the globe. Once this attempt falls through, they’ll try going after him for not being fascist enough and daring to pretend to be nice to the
inscrutable orientalsNorth Koreans and Russians, which, to be fair, is the one angle that has a non-zero of actually succeeding (though, obviously, the difference is so small that it is practically zero.)Even if Trump actually gets sentenced and put behind bars, that will only further empower him

bruh jury deliberation can take days , no need to check up on them every few minutes
He's responsible for the huge lies about the Bidens' business interests in Ukraine that nobody should believe because we have lying eyes that lie to us.
There's nothing remotely suspicious about Hunter Biden getting a do nothing job at an oil corporation in a political hotbed, just as said oil company was being investigated for corruption charges that mysteriously went away after pressure from the US government. Those are all coincidences. You conspiracy theorist. The fact that the state department admitted the US pressured Ukraine to fire the prosecutor to make the corruption investigations go away is irrelevant, they were doing that because he wasn't doing enough about corruption.
It's a rare skin condition, you can tell because it has the word "skin" in it.
Gonna be funny when they quietly remove the “Sentencing (if guilty verdict)” box
This is really his first criminal trial? Dudes been doing illegal shit since birth.
Tax fraud, housing discrimination, wage theft, collaborating with jefferey fucking epstien. You can really get away with anything if you're born rich in this country.
Epstein was assassinated and the libs entirely forgot all about him within so many weeks or so - I don't remember exactly. And the Qanon people had already been ignoring Epstein so they didn't care. And least the Qanon people have an excuse for their delusions and myopia. They're crazy.
You can really get away with anything if you're born rich in this country.
That's the most important thing but - of course - the libs will entirely ignore it. 99.99999+% of Americans would have gone immediately to jail (in pre-trail detention) if they had 1/100th of the files Trump kept in Mar-a-Lago. And then they would have been convicted and sentenced to decades in jail. But Trump's handpicked judge will make sure his case don't go to trial before the election. And if he loses the election - she'll surely kill it.
They've slow walked the entire thing so as to cross every t and dot every i and preserve faith in our institutions and all its done is make the case that the institutions are fucking broken as all hell and the powerful do not face consequences.
