Donald Trump found guilty in historic New York hush money case

Sentencing comes July 11. You can bet I'll be counting the days.

Do you think anything is actually going to happen to him?

I'm hoping for a prison sentence. You can't be president from prison.

> I'm hoping for a prison sentence.
You're not the only one!

> You can't be president from prison.
Hmm, I suspect that you probably can. Not well, maybe, but there's no obvious rules against it. (AFAICT, IANAL, etc. etc.)

Well, given that at least one Presidential candidate *ran* while in prison (Eugene V Debs) I wouldn't take any bets on that.

[conuly]

Shame on you, comparing Debs to Trump. One of them was imprisoned due to his integrity, the other has none.

[kaffy_r]

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!

And despite him being able to run for president from prison, you have got to bet that he goes to sleep tonight in a very stinky misery of flop sweat.

Yes, yes, yes!!!!

Now, if only he can be sentenced for twenty years, solitary, and then be removed from the ticket. And finally just go away. I've been wanting him to just go away (as in disappear from all news media outlets and the public sector and fade into the woodwork) since 2010, I've been more than patient.

[conuly]

I believe the maximum sentence for his crimes is four years.

And... look, I agree that he's a very bad man, but solitary imprisonment is torture and the USA should really do less of it, not more. Even bad people have some bare minimum human rights.

No, I simply wish for him to drop dead, preferably of something posthumously embarrassing.

[shadowkat]

Yeah, I know. There's a poor young woman serving 90 days in solitary confinement after drunk driving on a highway and hitting someone by accident. That's painful. Also in Defender Project I worked with others to do away with it - since it is a human rights violation.

But, I'm not sure Trump counts? Also in regards to Trump? I'd allow the death penalty, and I'm against the death penalty, except for him. I know that's horrible to say...and since I doubt he'll serve one day in prison, probably futile anyway.

Shoutout to the jurors, who've done something very important and brave.

[sabotabby]

That's gonna be so much fuuuun.

[silveradept]

Perhaps the best part of this is the part where he can't start the appeal process until he's been sentenced, which means we get an entire month of being able to say that he's a convicted felon without having to asterisk it or otherwise indicate that the conviction is being appealed.

[conuly]

Nobody can make me asterisk shit.
