Translation: republicans rigged 2016 election to usurp power, stole 3 Supreme Court seats, passed illegitimate tax cuts for ultra rich, and committed violent insurrection when public legitimately tried to remove them from power.
Every. Single. Republican. Is. Guilty. By. Association.
That’s completely incorrect.
Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records. These were the charges in the NY “hush money” trial only.
Here’s a handy tracker for the other cases from the Associated Press.
falsifying business records
To influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
He didn't decisively win, it's not inaccurate to deduce from this conviction that the 2016 election was stolen

So what happens now?
Fines? Community service? Jail? Nothing?
He'll get 34 slaps on the wrist then become our president for a term that doesn't end until he dies

Most likely, fines that he'll pay for with cultist money.

Did you make this mockup or has the current state of American legal reporting devolved into a Sportsnet style scoreboard?

This quick must be guilty. I’ll allow myself to hope. Edit:
lock him the fuck up
Lock ~~her~~ him up!
We even have signs that will work for this occasion with a slight modification.
One way or the other, it will be historic. This is much faster than I expected the Jury to deliberate.
I assume if they have a verdict it’s guilty. Could be wrong.
Edit: update convicted on all 34 counts. From the article’s update:
Mr. Trump was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business recordsby a jury of 12 New Yorkers, who deliberated over two days to reach a decision in a case rife with descriptions of secret deals, tabloid scandal and an Oval Office pact with echoes of Watergate. The jury found that Mr. Trump had faked records to conceal the purpose of money given to his onetime fixer, Michael D. Cohen. The false records disguised the payments as ordinary legal expenses when in truth, Mr. Trump was reimbursing Mr. Cohen for a $130,000 hush-money deal the fixer struck with the porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her account of a sexual liaison with Mr. Trump.

Former President and convicted felon, Donald J Trump
In other news, some little-known actor committed multiple felonies. Probably will end up on the front of grocery store tabloids. ;)

First time in history a candidate running for president can’t legally vote for themselves?
They passed a constitutional amendment in Florida to let felons vote, a couple years ago. The legislature tried to backpeddle it as much as they could in order to prevent black people from voting, but the main mechanism is forcing the felons to pay a bunch of money, which isn't a problem for Trump.

Now the judge who Trump has been royally pissing off the whole time gets to sentence him. If your justice boner lasts for more than 4 hours, please consult a doctor.
Despite @ummthatguy@lemmy.world doing it first, this is my domain.
Don't do a Riker on my turf, damn it.
Hey now, on this occasion there's enough Riker to go around for all of us.
You can never have too much Riker….(the 14 year old girl who was me, waiting impatiently for TNG to come on…for the sci-fi…and the Riker).
I met Jonathan Frakes at a con once and told him I had the biggest crush on him when I was a teenager. He said, “Well what changed?”
Riker gonna Riker lol

Do you guys think this matters to his voters/supporters?
This is going to give a lot of GOP Senators a fig leaf.
If someone puts a motion in Congress to make it illegal for him to run, a lot of them will vote for it.

The GOP could have gotten off this wild ride at so many points in the last 8 years, yet here we are. A republican presidential nominee who has been convicted of felonies.
Edit: And with Biden’s poll numbers they could have run literally anybody else and won.
Today is a very good day.
Now on the downside, convicted felons are still legally allowed to run for office. Not being able to vote for himself is delicious schadenfreude, but this doesn't suddenly save democracy. However, I would expect Biden's administration will push this hard, and I don't think undecided voters want a felon in the White House.
