The funny part will be when we see you douches doing high fives when the guilty verdict comes in when the reality is that this has all the suspense of a Soviet election. Hell, a Soviet election may have been more fair.

It must be because the thoroughly documented evidence shows Trump lied about the size of his properties by THREE TIMES in order to get favorable loan terms that other, more truthful borrowers were denied.
You know, the same kind of unfair charges Black people and other minorities in Manhattan get busted for all the time. LOL.
What a clueless numbskull.

There's no worse feeling in media than being the next guest after Stephen A. Smith. Whatever you have to say, you'll say it worse. Right, wrong, whatever, the man was born to be on television. The upside is listening to his segments. Last night, while waiting to talk about NPR, I listened as Chris Cuomo told a story about an unnamed hip-hop artist complaining that it took a rich white man like Trump being abused, for people to see the "maladministration of justice" black people have always known. What did his guest, Stephen A. Smith, think?
Stephen A. SMITH: No question. That hip hop artist who called you, he's right on the money. Here's the sad part. It gives credence to the argument Trump made during a speech weeks ago where he talked about black folks relating to him. Now, what the hell would black folks have in common with a guy that was born on third base thinking he hit a home run? Born with the proverbial spoon in his mouth? It's the legal system. I can say this because 95% of the time I voted Democrat. I'm looking at a Democratic party that looks at the black community that says, "We are there for you. We are there for you.".
But when it's time to vote, you want to talk to black people about what you're doing for them. And how you are on our side. But this man right here, who's the presumptive GOP nominee, is in a position to literally get back into the White House because what you're doing to him, we find fairly relatable to things that have been done to folks in our community, and it's happened for decades. There's no escaping that fact and Trump pointing it out, and being accurate in doing so, is perhaps the height of embarrassment for the Democratic party, in my estimation.
This exchange was preceded by a classic Stephen A-ism:
When you got four indictments and 91 counts and two impeachments and civil suits in excess of $454 million. But he still keeps marching forward, marching forward, gaining momentum. The only way to get him is to beat him, and they don't seem to be able to do that either. And I'm quite disgusted by it, to be quite honest with you.
If you watch ESPN you've heard that speech a hundred times: "You got Karl-Anthony Towns and the Stifle Tower Rudy Gobert and the high-flying new face of the league in Anthony Edwards and Naz Reid and Slo-Mo Anderson and all those boys, and you can't even beat the eighth seed in your conference one time in the regular season — one damn time, J. J. Redick! — frankly, I find that disgusting. ".
The Trump rant (click here to watch) was no sports take, nor particularly novel, as Stephen A's been branching into politics and appearing as a guest on Fox News, which can't get enough of him for obvious reasons. The hit pieces haven't come yet, but if he keeps this up, they will, and we can guess what form they'll take. It'll be ugly. But any Democrat watching should immediately recognize the red flag Stephen A. Is raising, and I don't mean the one that has to do with race. This is about sports:
Americans love sports because we have a strong egalitarian streak and love the simplicity; you play better, you win. The villain is always the overconfident favorite taken down by an underdog who wants it more. Phi Slamma Jamma dunked into infamy by Lorenzo Charles, the Greatest Show on Turf cut down by a placekicker, Miracle on Ice. That 1980 Soviet team was actually quite likable and packed with all-time greats, but they'the been trained to show no mercy in international play and piled 16 goals on poor Japan before the fateful clash. Americans love that story because the Soviets were so much better, because that's sports: you got to play the games. "If we play 'them ten times, they might win nine" — but the ice doesn't know the odds.
In every sports contest two groups of spectators are irrational and have worthless takes: the fans of the two teams playing. (This rule applies with equal or greater force to politics.) Once the homers are out of the picture, the rest of the sports-watching world argues over who will win, who should win, who deserves to win, who maybe deserves to lose. This country hates a sore loser, but a sore winner is worse. Act like you've been there! A PhD and an iron worker in the stands of a Buffalo Bills game will be equally plastered by the third quarter and react the same way if their own team chooses to run up the score, especially against an opponent they might see in the playoffs. They'll stare at each other in glassy-eyed panic, each knowing: "That will come back to haunt us. ".
Every sports fan — rich, poor, black, white, old, young — is steeped in these intricacies. We know why "ball don't lie," and why coaches who whine about injuries deserve to lose ("Next man up" is the rule). Stephen A. May not be the spokesperson of "the black community," but he might be Chief Justice of sports talk. Democrats should hear what he's saying: to the average person, these interminable Trump indictments and lawsuits and lawfare (hearing a popular sportscaster use that term unironically should inspire a Beltway mass-clench) seem worse than cheating. It comes off as cowardice, fear of even competition, something that never, ever plays in this country. "The only way to get him is to beat him, and they don't seem to be able to do that," is a heavy indictment, and if he's thinking that, you can bet a hell of a lot lot more people are. Just win, baby. What happened to that?

The immortal words of Ronnie Ray Guns. Benghazi, Benghazi, Burisma, the Big Guy, Burisma! How are historical multiple criminal charges against a charlatan Ex-President a sign of strength? Inside a basket of deplorables yes, in the immortal words of Crooked Hillary. The end is definitely near.

Uh, that would be Joe Biden by the way, not Hunter Biden. See, Joe is the President of the United States while Hunter is just the guy whose dick pics the REALLY Getting Smaller All The Time Pink Tinkle Repub Manureity House have been staring at and drooling over for the past 16 months.
Oh, and, like Donald Trump, you appear to think he is running against either Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Barack Obama or gawd knows who this year.
Here is the only place Trump is far ahead of anybody; when it finally dawns on him his criminal lawyers have no more delay tactics left to throw against the wall, Trump is definitely way ahead as the first person in the courtroom most likely to drop his pants around his ankles, crow like a rooster, whip out his mushroom dick in one hand and bite the head off a live bat he had hidden in his coat pocket.
Meanwhile, the demonstrably Winger-leaning RCP President Betting Odds consensus is the most reflective of Joe Biden's upward trajectory vs Trump's fish hook decline since that Biden SOTU Address from the sites that take everything into consideration, not just the Tied poll consensus. And the most historically predictive of the group, Predictlt, shows Biden ahead of Trump by the greatest margin:

Geeze. Reading these posts just make me laugh.
If Trump does not win the next election (which he will hands down) . The world is effed.
Democracy just does not exist.
You have tried every thing. Give me a break. Stormy. HA HA. Again. Gee is that the best you can do. What about Hunter. I suppose your going to say. He did nothing wrong.
You Democrats are the biggest joke I have ever seen. How can you defend yourselves. I know you will call me a racist or a aussie or a.ha again.
I can't even read these posts because Trump is that far in front of the rest of you.
There is no way the Dems can win.

Will the midgets of jurisprudence wait until all the evidence, cross examination under oath and spin (closing arguments) are complete? I doubt it. But juries must. Anyone who is innocent, facing prosecution with multiple (nothing but the best) lawyers should not fear what is assumed to be a non partial jury of peers. If the mushroom doesn't fit, you must acquitt. Even David Pecker and Stephanie Clifford, called to testify know this.

Oh, I might as well also add here that subsequent Dem presidents eventually pulled us out of those ridiculous Repub Wars while the Repub so-called presidents did not have the balls or the patriotism to assume the political risk of actually doing it rather than just flapping their yap for years and years about someday doing it like the Repubs did.

Jury selection is underway now complete in the case of The People of the State of New York vs. Donald J. Trump, which alleges that the defendant lied to his own check register, and lied to the general ledger of his own company, when the invoice given to him by his lawyer was paid and recorded by someone else, and that the misstatement he made to himself in his own records was done "with the intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof. "
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...leyn-treatment
Man, maybe he should just be executed.
That local prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, is a member of the Democratic Party and the voters who elected Bragg and from whom the jury will be chosen support the Democratic Party. In 2016, the people of New York County voted 87% for Hillary Clinton and 10% for Donald Trump, and in 2020,87% for Joe Biden and 12% for Donald Trump. In other words, the jury pool is chosen from one of the most partisan jurisdictions in the country a place where almost all the judges are Democrats as well.
So the Democratic prosecutor elected in the second most Democratic county in the United States will try the former Republican president and current putative Republican Party presidential nominee before a Democrat-appointed judge and a jury drawn from a pool 87% of whom voted against him (and who are being asked if they watch Fox News or listen to talk radio in the screening process).
In other words, this is what Democrats think is fair.
Moreover, New York's statute of limitations requires that misdemeanor prosecutions be commenced within two years of the commission of the act, meaning that under the last provision, this case should never have been filed.
Gee, and you wonder why this case was filed.
For example, why does the entry in the check register or the general ledger matter at all? When would those entries, as opposed to the allegedly false invoices, be shown to anyone for any nefarious purpose? And were the entries even false? Was there any intent to fool someone to obtain something in making the entries who was the target of the allegedly false entry in private books and records? If there's no mark, no victim, then how could there be an "intent to defraud"? Defraud whom? And what is the other crime that the person making the book entry intended to commit or hide? If the other crime is not a New York crime but a federal crime, does every county prosecutor in the United States, including Alvin Bragg, have the jurisdiction to enforce an alleged federal crime indirectly through a state crime?
The answer is the New York legal system where all is fair if you are a Democrat going after a Republican.
And how about Trump's right under the 6th amendment:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Speedy trial? Impartial jury? LOL.
https://nypost.com/2024/03/30/us-new...-90m-off-case/
Two major Democratic clients of the daughter of the judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush-money trial have raised at least $93 million in campaign donations and used the case in their solicitation emails raising renewed concerns that the jurist has a major conflict of interest.
The judge's daughter, Loren Merchan, is president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm whose top clients include Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who was the lead prosecutor in Trump's first impeachment trial, and the Senate Majority PAC, a major party fundraiser.
"Authentic Campaigns, and thus the judge's daughter, is actively making money from this sham attack against President Trump, rendering Judge Merchan conflicted out," Trump spokesman Steven Cheung told The Post, adding that evidence of bias is even clearer now than it was in August when Merchan rejected Trump's first recusal motion.
And we have the infamous words of "only 10 million illegals" rule of law soy boy saying how much Democrats were after truth, and they do not like being lied to and have so much integrity. So this judge, who has an obvious conflict of interest, recused himself from the case right?
Nah, he shoved a gag order down Trump's throat.
So here we go again. While Democrats are going to be cackling and giving themselves high fives for finding Trump guilty in this blatantly stupid and rigged case, your average American is going to see how fucking stupid this case really is and get that once again, Democrats want to cheat and win an election in a court room and not at the ballot box.
I have a feeling this trial is going to push Trump's numbers into the stratosphere.

LOL. In which case it would have been a clean sweep for the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since and including 1992, thirty-two years ago, allowing for the fact that the only Repub to win slightly more votes than the Dem since then, in 2012, would never have been there to run as a Repub-initiated counterproductive quagmire Wartime Incumbent president had it not been for him already being an undemocratically appointed so-called president in 2000 by a handful of equally undemocratically appointed Supreme Court Justices and Electoral College members.

This witch admits this case is not about the law. She says she is not a fan and talks about abortion, Covid, and Trump's policies. The one thing she does not mention is what Trump was accused of. She openly admits that which everyone knows. This is not about breaking the law. It is about rigging an election, and she hates Trump so much she does not even get how fucking selfish she is that she as a juror thinks she can choose who should be president more than the voters.
At this point, they should not even have a trial. The more honest thing to do is just find Trump guilty because New Yorkers do not like him. There has not been one speck of testimony but does there need to be? Anyone with a brain knows this jury will find Trump guilty.
And THIS is why Trump will win. Unlike you Soy Boy, a guy who supports people illegally crossing the border and stabs his own sex in the back, real Americans believe that voters and not Democratic juries and Democratic prosecutors should be picking who is president. That is why whenever Trump gets charges brought against him he goes up in the polls. The rigging of the 2020 election was done in secret. Shit, the rigging of the 2024 election is completely out in the open now.
But all you care about is your government check.
