A New York court has found former president Donald J. Trump guilty on 34 felonies in connection utilizing a fixer to commit tax and business fraud to silence a potentially damaging victim during the 2016 presidential elections.
Sentencing is set for July 11th. The former president will be held under Secret Service protection at Rikers Island prison till that date.
Donald Trump is the first US President to be accused and successfully tried for felony charges.
The bread and circuses of the empire continue to work as intended. Democrats rejoice as if this has single-handedly saved the world, and reactionaries fume that their outwardly fascist figurehead has faced a tiny percentage of the consequences for his actions.
Figures. Not held accountable for any of his actual serious crimes against humanity - which he and every other US president have committed btw - but for some boring, bog standard corruption.
Speaking of corruption, are senators and congress representatives ever getting held accountable for insider trading any time soon? No? Yeah...so this is just some cheap circus to distract the blue maga crowd.
It's also going to massively backfire if they think this will improve genocide Joe's chances. Then again i remain convinced that the two party electoral system is just a shell game and the constant alternating is exactly what the elites and both parties want.
It's a neat little trick that allows them to never have to take responsibility for doing fuckall for the people (while doing everything for the billionaires) and always blame the other side.
We can objectively say that in the US it's a greater crime to pay hush money to a sex worker, than it is to assassinate a leader of a nuclear-armed country. 👍
