      You have to understand that this isn’t ironic to them. To them, this was not a legitimate trial and trumped up charges, if you’ll pardon the pun.

        I’m making a called shot of a drop into the 40’s for July’s polling.

        He wont’ drop below 25%, ever. That’s his core. They may never support another candidate again.

        However, dropping to high 30’s low 40’s only puts Trump back to par with Biden. Hardly a W, but at lease Biden would be back in the running.

            I mean it in a “There are still people who think gamestop is going to be a billion dollar stock” manner.

            See: https://lemmy.world/c/gamestopstock

            Cult/ Cargo cult level “They will never support another candidate again” is what I mean. They’ll write him in. They’ll have wild conspiracy theories. Not need to push. It will happen it on its own.

            I would guess its around 25-30% of Republican voters. Its the conspiracy theory mind-set cutting backwards against those that seed it. There is no undoing this.

              If Donald could please just die and they continue writing in his name for all future votes that would be great. They are the most ignorant and racist people within a party wholly committed to cultivating ignorant and racist voters.

            I mean she could have spent a weekend in Michigan. That was an unforced error.

            She could have addressed her relationship with Goldman Sachs, and all the other banks that fucked over the entirety of the American people during the housing crisis that she earned millions upon millions giving “speeches” to.

            She could have made an olive branch to the progressive caucus.

            She could have not said “Sit down and shut up” to BLM activists.

            There are a lot of things she could have done.

                  Maybe, but it happened right before the election. I observed noticeable shift in attitude. That’s not good evidence, I know, but Clinton’s polls which had been steady, took a 3% dip at the time and stayed down through election day.

                  People talked about the polls being off compared to the election, but the election matched the post-Comey polls pretty well. It’s only the polls that mixed pre-Comey data that were too high for Clinton.

    When the GOP sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are convicted felons.

              so what argument is there that Trump shouldn’t?

              The American justice system has been successfully boiled down to a pay to play system and it’s unfair to not let other rich people go for more serious crimes, but not Trump .

              I mean I don’t think they would be honest enough to run with that, but it’s the only argument I can think of that would be based on an unfortunate truth.

              Everyone consciously or subconsciously knows the justice system works differently for different classes. The only reason anyone who leans right actually believes it could be a “witch hunt” is because no one has an iota of faith in the justice system. Sending a “billionaire” to jail is so rare that the possibility of it happening seems suspicious.

          Slim chance. It’s his first offence (first conviction anyway) and a non violent crime. Can’t see the judge jailing him, especially given the logistics involved with the Secret Service having to protect him.

            Cohen served time for this exact same crime in the exact same state. I think he was sentenced to 3 years and did 1.5 due to covid early release. That was also his first felony.

            It’s fully possible he gets jail time.

        Maybe not, but it still sets a nice precedent that there is no magical spall-trap that will be spring if we convict a former president of crimes.

        Now it just needs to be done for something he did in office.

      In NY, even if he’s sentenced to prison, it’s up to the judge’s discretion whether he has to report to prison while awaiting appeal…and we all know he’s going to appeal.

          I believe there are some rapists and pedophiles in elected office in the USA. But based on statistical probability, not specific evidence.

          I’d read it, but I’m skeptical that you have reliable evidence.

            Im glad your the 1 in a million to actually be open the the idea, but to be fair, they aren’t just going to out themselves as pedophiles, especially when they’ve been shown time and time again to investigate themselves and find nothing wrong

            So we have to assume based on their actions instead of their words. The 2 biggest examples i can think of off the top of my head are are the subway guy, and them hosting csam

            you remember the guy from subway, there’s no reason why it should take the FBI almost 5 years after being given hundreds of pieces of extremely incriminating evidence (videos, voice recording, etc) to arrest him, its as if they purposely pushed it back as long as they could. Also, The US hosts more CSAM than any other country in the world, making up about a third of all the global CSAM out there, and one can only wonder, is hosing cp really the best way to “catch” predators? Especially after seeing how reluctant they were for the subway guy.
