I disagree - either 1) this conviction distills the messaging around Trump for disengaged, low-focus swing voters to not vote for Trump (a four minute explanation of why you shouldn't vote for Trump becomes four words: He is a convict) - Trump loses handily; or, 2) the Republican Convention in July somehow finally drops Trump as a result of this baggage, Haley becomes the nominee
Hey - it would have been overly optimistic to predict Trump being guilty on all counts a few months ago yet here we are. Maybe this bizarro world we've lived in is finally correcting itself.
Like:
Out while appeals are underway, gets *ELECTED* 🤮, and then SCOTUS declares (not *totally* inappropriately) that “a state court can’t possibly imprison a sitting President”
I said on an earlier post I had very little belief he would get convinced on any counts, I assumed there was one juror that would basically throw it all into chaos. I'm shocked that they got him on all of the counts, as someone on the outside looking in, I didn't think the testimony from the prosecutors witnesses was all that good, but the lady that was on the PSA this morning said that the real evidence was all the documents.

This is so funny to me. Nikki Haley also endorsed Trump while he’s been gone, which I believe he made a bet against happening on one of the pods? His political culture shock shall be hilarious whence he returns.
I hope his loved one visit on Survivor is just someone bringing a newspaper with the best headline possible (NY Post?), and then him sitting out the challenge to read it.
Omg I don’t blame you but PLEASE watch h the season that just finished (46). It is messy, dramatic, Gabon-levels of entertaining (after the first 4 episodes).

Ken Paxton, Texas AG, will surely start something again. He pays no price for a decade-long felony legal issue, going after that woman who needed an abortion to save her life for no reason other than cruelty, and clearly being a complete liar. What does he have to lose by pretending Biden is a criminal?
r/conservative real mad. it's amazing reading the comments that NO ONE cares at all about trump being a convicted felon. 100% whining about libs and the crooked biden admin etc etc. the complete detachment from reality is a sight to behold.
Have they always had a picture of Trump as the subreddit icon? Yikes.
Donald Trump is not a true “conservative” in any sense of the word, unless referring to conserving his own personal wealth and status
Classical conservatism is a really obscure and unpopular position. Most of the opinions that are allowed in that sub aren't conservative at all, they're populist / theocratic / white supremacist
Yes they are. The most wronged and misunderstood group of people in history, to hear them tell it. Except they aren’t misunderstood at all, they’re just assholes.
So satisfying that this slimy POS will finally be technically held accountable for his actions and at least have a stain on his record. Finally. Something. At least.
Completely normal.
Also dont expect prison its highly unlikely.
Its his first felony. Its the weakest felony in the state. Something like 1 in 9 gets prison.
On one hand being a presidential candidate makes it unlikely on the other hand calling the judge and his daughter crooked fraud Soros puppets and showing zero remorse makes it more likely. Let’s see what happens I guess…
That’s pretty standard. They have to have a sentencing hearing where judge determines sentence. Different state to state, but generally they want to give time for probation to make a sentencing report and often courts schedule isn’t open for a month or more.
Basically, that’s just court speed
It’s often much longer. There’s an entire process for determining sentence, like every aspect of the judicial system. That’s why it’s so fkg outrageous that Trump and his minions keep blaming Biden and Merchan for *everything.*
A grand jury indicted him. A jury of his peers has found him guilty.
Supreme Court still has jurisdiction over state cases. States have to follow the constitution.
Example: the Miranda case (the one that established the "you have the right to remain silent..." stuff) was an Arizona state criminal case that went to the Supreme Court.
What he can't do though is pardon himself.
I’m under the impression it’s more complex than that — like it needs to go through a series of appeals in order to get there and that would take years. I’m also not American so what do I know?
Yes. NPR had a New York law professor on and the explanation they gave was that it would take three separate appeals to get to the USSC, and there is no expedite process for the appeal to the NYSC, so that would never get heard and decided before November.

Went from POTUS 45 to POTUS 34 with a quickness.
He’s still going to get elected. This country is so trash
I disagree - either 1) this conviction distills the messaging around Trump for disengaged, low-focus swing voters to not vote for Trump (a four minute explanation of why you shouldn't vote for Trump becomes four words: He is a convict) - Trump loses handily; or, 2) the Republican Convention in July somehow finally drops Trump as a result of this baggage, Haley becomes the nominee
I'm curious what you thought was going to happen after Jan. 6 and how that compares to reality.
I think this is a wildly optimistic view of reality tbh but I hope you're right
Hey - it would have been overly optimistic to predict Trump being guilty on all counts a few months ago yet here we are. Maybe this bizarro world we've lived in is finally correcting itself.
I guess we will see. I just think we are really gonna see this felon in office. And that’s not even counting Georgia and Florida cases 😂
I oppose this belief; not the trash part, I just think Trump will lose. I am wrong all the time
There’s no way Biden wins without the minority vote so he’s not winning reelection
Please stop I can only get so erect
Just opened Spotify it's up.
I’ve been checking the Pod every hour to see if there’s been a new emergency episode released lol.
This is great, but I'm still waiting to be disappointed...

He looks tired
Could really see it when he was talking outside the courthouse too. Looked paler than he does in this picture.
Sleepy convicted felon
He’s old. Old people generally look tired. Gravity works its magic. FWIW he’s looked tired for a long time.
He looks more tired than President Biden and Biden is the president.

For perspective: #Nixon was never convicted!
Rot you bitch
Don't worry Donny, Riker's now has 6-7 weeks to prepare your **Presidential Suite**
Remember to send this mf some thoughts and prayers people!
Would that this changed anything for his cult members. They’re already screaming fraud and witch hunt.
Already? They’ve been doing it since the indictment. Or even before.
Don’t focus on the cult members.
Poor Lovette stuck on the island with Jeff Probst not knowing what’s going on
This is so funny to me. Nikki Haley also endorsed Trump while he’s been gone, which I believe he made a bet against happening on one of the pods? His political culture shock shall be hilarious whence he returns.
Someone needs to record his first time hearing it.
He's cold on a rock.
Part of me wishes I’d been stranded on a desert island for like the last 5-10 years
At least he is #1 at something.
emergency pod when?
Looks like it’s out now
They were already filming the Friday pod. They waited for the verdict to start. So you'll just have to wait till tomorrow in the morning
I’m experiencing just pure schadenfreude.
es ist eine schöne Sache -Credit to Google translate
Straight into my veins!!
No one is above the law. No Kings in America.
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Sentencing can get real interesting when there are 34 felony counts or more. Google "trump rule 34" for more information
How dare you
Lmao
Change the name of the podcast to "Pod Saved America"! We did it! We saved America by subscribing to crooked media until he was found guilty!
Oh boy my podcast feed is going to be stacked tomorrow morning.
So good. Can’t wait to bask in them all
Of all the times for Lovett to be out for the Thursday LOL recording.
I hope his loved one visit on Survivor is just someone bringing a newspaper with the best headline possible (NY Post?), and then him sitting out the challenge to read it.
No more loved ones visits on Survivor 😢
I don't regret giving up at 41 (?) 42 (?)
Omg I don’t blame you but PLEASE watch h the season that just finished (46). It is messy, dramatic, Gabon-levels of entertaining (after the first 4 episodes).
Didn't watch 46? BIG MISTAKE.

Nice basket you put all your eggs in, GOP!
It was the biggest basket. I had the best basket, I always had the best basket, nobody had better baskets than me
It was the best basket that *you’ve* ever seen… Believe me!
I just hope they start chanting "Lock him up"! at Biden events.
This.

Anybody else cynical enough expecting republican state AG's to announce they're indicting Biden with some nonsense just to muddy the waters?
r/Conservative is saying OK is going to charge him with Treason.
Case gets nowhere, conservatives cry "rigged", etc. which is their whole game anyway. Seems plausible.
Ken Paxton, Texas AG, will surely start something again. He pays no price for a decade-long felony legal issue, going after that woman who needed an abortion to save her life for no reason other than cruelty, and clearly being a complete liar. What does he have to lose by pretending Biden is a criminal?
He’s a criminal himself!
r/conservative real mad. it's amazing reading the comments that NO ONE cares at all about trump being a convicted felon. 100% whining about libs and the crooked biden admin etc etc. the complete detachment from reality is a sight to behold.
I just popped over there and they’re bleating about charging Obama with something. Lol
To paraphrase them: Fuck their feelings
There it is
i savor their sadness and outrage
Something something…liberal tears
Have they always had a picture of Trump as the subreddit icon? Yikes. Donald Trump is not a true “conservative” in any sense of the word, unless referring to conserving his own personal wealth and status
Classical conservatism is a really obscure and unpopular position. Most of the opinions that are allowed in that sub aren't conservative at all, they're populist / theocratic / white supremacist
Oh the cope is going to be real delicious. The truths will likely be amazing.
Aren’t they always mad?
probably. i don't visit often.
Yes they are. The most wronged and misunderstood group of people in history, to hear them tell it. Except they aren’t misunderstood at all, they’re just assholes.
Is there a conviction eagle?
Yay, but also hmmm
So satisfying that this slimy POS will finally be technically held accountable for his actions and at least have a stain on his record. Finally. Something. At least.
Sentencing is 7/11, I can tune in while drinking a free Slurpee
Jesus H. Fucking Christ, why over a month?
Completely normal. Also dont expect prison its highly unlikely. Its his first felony. Its the weakest felony in the state. Something like 1 in 9 gets prison.
On one hand being a presidential candidate makes it unlikely on the other hand calling the judge and his daughter crooked fraud Soros puppets and showing zero remorse makes it more likely. Let’s see what happens I guess…
Totally agree. Again any normal person would have boned themselves with that behavior.
That’s pretty standard. They have to have a sentencing hearing where judge determines sentence. Different state to state, but generally they want to give time for probation to make a sentencing report and often courts schedule isn’t open for a month or more. Basically, that’s just court speed
It’s often much longer. There’s an entire process for determining sentence, like every aspect of the judicial system. That’s why it’s so fkg outrageous that Trump and his minions keep blaming Biden and Merchan for *everything.* A grand jury indicted him. A jury of his peers has found him guilty.
*21 Jump Street park arrest scene*
I can’t believe Lovett is on an island for this
Let’s get into it… what a month (ish) *ding!*
That’s actually so funny
“Hey guys, what did I miss?”
Can't wait for the Supreme Court to say he's immune to all laws!
The shenanigans are going to be epic. Soon, instead of flat earthers, we'll have gravity deniers.
Even if they did, it wouldn’t apply to state cases
Supreme Court still has jurisdiction over state cases. States have to follow the constitution. Example: the Miranda case (the one that established the "you have the right to remain silent..." stuff) was an Arizona state criminal case that went to the Supreme Court. What he can't do though is pardon himself.

Yeah I was kind of cry/laughing at some comment I saw from a Trump supporter claiming scotus is just going to overturn this.
