I've got a news flash for all the conservatives who are downplaying Trump's falsified business record felonies as "paperwork": illegal immigration is a paperwork crime too.
News flash for Republicans: prosecuting a president the same way you'd prosecute a regular person is not a "dangerous precedent": it's literally how we were all taught that the system works.

We were all taught that not only should the system work that way, but that it ALREADY works that way.
Trump's staggering contempt for the court, the judge, and the entire legal system, combined with his absolute refusal to admit wrongdoing or show remorse, should factor into harsh sentencing.

Unless the system is corrupt or weak.

It's hilarious that Trump could have greatly increased his odds of winning in court if he had only swallowed his pride and admitted to the affair with Stormy Daniels. Admit to the affair, and admit that people working for you tried to cover it up with a hush-money deal.

They have him dead-to-rights on this. They have the paper trail for the money changing hands. It's an open-and-shut case, and when they have this kind of evidence, your only sound legal strategy is to admit it, and then try to weasel out some other way.

That other way is obvious: just pretend that your overzealous underlings did this without your personal approval or knowledge. Pretend that you didn't know there was a cover-up. Throw someone under the bus: it's not like this would be the first time for Trump, or indeed, the first time for a Republican president (remember Iran Contra?)

But it's pretty hard to pretend a cover-up took place without your input WHEN YOU'RE STANDING OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM STILL TRYING TO COVER IT UP DURING THE TRIAL.

It's been widely reported that Trump directed his own defense, and of course, his defense strategy was based on his ignorance and arrogance.

His defense also didn't work. Even the dude on the jury who got all his news from truth social voted to convict on all counts. The only people trumps lies worked on was his base. His ignorant, isolated, dwindling base.

Oh yeah, the microwave noise. That reminds me.

There was an interesting article an age back that detailed that 50% (and up!) of the population does not host an inner monologue. I wanna see a venn diagram of those without thoughts, and republican voters.

Almost envy them. My inner monologue won't shut up, even when I want it to...
