The Real timschochet

Can’t speak for @GutterBoy but I absolutely believe this. However my main reasons for opposing him are his policies, which are terrible for America, his desire to be a dictator, his bigotry, and his incompetence. Corruption is way down the list for me.

You keep repeating this. Yet so far as I know there hasn’t been a single person in this forum who has predicted this will kill Trump’s chances of winning the election. I HOPE it does. I would love to think that there’s a lot of Americans who won’t vote for a convicted felon. But I also didn’t want to believe that millions of people would vote for a bigot, a wannabe dictator, a xenophobe, an incompetent boob. Sadly I was proven wrong. So who knows?

If you listen to conservative attorneys on Fox (like Hugh Hewitt and Turley and Andrew McCarthy) they absolutely agree with your interpretation. Most other legal experts I’ve heard, like Andrew Weismann and Neal Katyal, take the opposite view. So I guess we’ll see. But I think a successful appeal will be unlikely.

Leave it. Dumb wager.

I don’t believe this verdict will be thrown out. All appeals will fail, IMO.

I don’t want you to leave the board. If you want to bet money let me know.

No I disagree. I believe Trump was convicted because 12 honest people found him guilty. If Biden is ever prosecuted, his verdict will be based on whether he is guilty of the crime charged. I truly believe that. I believe in our system.

It depends on the crime, IMO. For example: most people know that I am in favor of amnesty for undocumented immigrants and a path to citizenship rights on most counts. But my exception is the right to vote. If you committed the crime of coming to this country without papers you should NEVER have the right to vote so long as you live. No exceptions.

You ARE cynical. And I think it’s pretty insulting to the jurors and the entire judicial system.

Hey my bet is still good- 4-1 odds. You want in?

Everybody said this was the least likely conviction of the 4 indictments.

This was kind of funny

Hey thanks

Agreed but I honestly think he should serve a few days in jail for contempt of court.

He can’t pardon himself. Biden can’t pardon him either. Only the Governor of New York.

We’ll see if the state of the race changes after the conviction. As I wrote earlier, I’m highly skeptical. Still if it affects even 5% of independents that could be decisive…

I think I heard this every time he was indicted last year. It’s never made any sense.

I hope the defense team collected their fees in advance…

And why is it always rigged whenever Trump loses? At anything? Can you imagine playing Monopoly with him?

The only reason you think this is a “Kangaroo Kourt” is because Trump was convicted.

I’m not celebrating this. And I won’t cry if Trump wins in November. If he wins it will be what America wants. And I’ll support that. But hopefully it won’t happen.

Trump says this is unfair because there was no change of venue and this is a location that didn’t vote for him. Think about that for a moment. He’s saying the system is unfair because jurors can’t be fair if they don’t vote for him. It’s total contempt for our system of justice.

You need some new material.

Lol dude. He committed a crime, he tried to cover it up. Now he has to pay. Would you want it otherwise?

Hopefully nobody will reveal the names of the jurors and they will be safe.
