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.
I'm hoping this all escalates after the election (that Trump probably is going to win, and I couldn't care less- Genocide Joe or Genocide Trump, pick your poison- but those who support either of these evils just for their table scraps deserve all the hell they're gonna get and more) into all-out lawfare on both sides, worse than it already is.
Aside from the fact that all these political elites are war criminals (but that's celebrated and part of the job requirements in the west, and especially in the US), anyone with half a brain knows there's enough actual corruption there to make all these monsters hang, anyways. They're only going after Trump- and with small, pathetic, and hilariously hypocritical cases at that- because they dislike him, and I hope it blows up in their- all their faces (Trump's included, but frankly my antipathy for the bloodthirsty neocons, who have far more blood on their hands, and are also more competent at inflicting terror across the world than the Orange Man, is greater).
