Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
The verdict came after a jury deliberated for less than twelve hours in the unprecedented first criminal trial against a US president. It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.
Vast amounts of bullshit. From every side.
Edit: are there people out there who don’t think it’ll be a circus? I agree with the verdict 100%, but let’s not kid ourselves. The next few months are going to be ridiculous.
This circus has nothing to do with any party other than the Republican party.
As a circus performer, don’t drag us down to their level. Most of us are hardcore leftists anyways. We tend to be when our community is literally made up of freaks and outcasts.
mollymauk is that you?
I think they’re mostly the root cause, yeah, but this trial is big enough that there’s an enormous ripple effect.
All great people.
