It's remarkable to me that anyone believes this conviction is political, or that "Biden is behind it." If that doesn't demonstrate that MAGA's a cult, I'm not sure what would. You have to be swimming deep in BS to pull off that self-jedi-mind-trick. The only reason they believe this nonsense is because that's what they want and believe Trump will do to his political rivals if elected.

We're not dealing with a fair-minded party here. The GOP is a criminal enterprise at this point. All the GOP soldiers and lieutenants are loyal to their Don, and part of a (dis)organized crime family. They are as transparent as they are stupid.

I think the jury is still out on the rule of law until we see sentencing.

I hear this all the time. Think about what it would actually take for the trial to be rigged by a political party. The investigation, grand jury, jury trial, conviction. THINK about how many hoops it would take a political party to rig that stuff and not be found out.

The truth is that the case was based on #1 Documentary Evidence, #2 then corroborated by witness testimony and recorded calls.

But no...

So somehow the prosecution who must have been fueled by the Democratic party delivered dummied up evidence to a grand jury that the prosecution hand selected, moved the case to court where somehow the prosecution slipped in a jury of Democrats when the jury was hand selected by BOTH the prosecution AND the defense jury, and the witnesses (all bought and paid for by the Democratic Party of course :roll:) corroborated the dummied up evidence and the jury who were all in the tank for the Democrats found Trump guilty on all counts and they did all of this right in full view of news reporters reporting daily (all Democrats right?) on the trial.

Oh and wait? Cohen was convicted and sent to prison for what crimes again? Anyone? What? :roll: Ockham is screaming from his literal grave right now.

The problem I see (and I see it every single day) is that his supporters exclusively watch FOX News. I end up hearing FOX by proxy. Did FOX go over the more than 200 pieces of documentary evidence, witness testimony, and FULL transcripts? If they did then I sure as heck didn't hear it and I do hear it daily.

I wasn't expecting to be this surprised. Deep down I guess I really didn't think he'd be found guilty.
