Miracle on 34 Counts

I don't think people appreciate enough how important is was not just that Donald Trump was found guilty of election interference in the 2016 presidential campaign but was found guilty on 34 counts!  How do you get twelve New Yorkers to agree on finding anyone guilt on that many counts?  You usually can't even get two New Yorkers to agree on anything. 

The sentencing scheduled for July 11 is already causing consternation among Trump supporters, and the possibility of prison or at least house arrest is very real.  Even as polls show that a majority of Americans agree with the conviction, Trump supporters are ready to go to war for their idol.  And their idol is already encouraging.

Trump has always stated that MAGA Republicans won't stand for even the most comfortable sort of incarceration for him, telling Fox Noise that "at some point, there's going to be a breaking point."  Wait, what?  A point at a point?  Well, there's a point to his point, and my point regarding the point of his point - 😄 - is that many Americans, even those who believe he is guilty of falsifying 34 documents, might find imprisoning Trump in any way, shape, or form to be a bridge too far.  Pundits say that Trump's conviction has marked him, but given his ability to resist being forced to wear scarlet letters before, we'll have to wait to see if this mark stands the test of time.

Or, as Sammy Hagar once sang, "Only time will tell if we stand the test of time." 😛 

Guilty!

On 34 counts.

Donald Trump is now a convicted felon in the eyes of the state of New York.

Trump got convicted for falsifying 34 records as way of interfering in the 2016 election to hide his sexual transgressions from the voting public.  He will be sentenced on July 11.

Trump's lawyers hoped that the case against him would be undermined by the lack of credibility of his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who did tim in prison for perjury.  And while the boy who cried "Wolf!" was not believed when he cried "Wolf!" for real,  Michael Cohen was believed when he told the truth, and for one simple reason: the facts.  Cohen was supported by documentation, corroborating circumstances, and witnesses, including a porn star, who, like the late Mary Jo Kopechne by the extreme right-wingers in Orange County, California and Cobb County, Georgia, will be toasted by Upper East Side limousine liberals and Lower East Side bohemian progressives as "The Savior of Her Country."  

Alas, this does not make his chances of returning to the White House haven't diminished.  In act, they may have increased.   Trump's Website crashed from to many MAGA Republicans trying to donate t his campaign online.  Several Republican members of Congress condemned the verdict as a political persecution and a travesty of justice.  Also, pro-Trump demonstrators converged in Manhattan while Trump was in the hideous tower building that bears his name violating the gag order still imposed on him while ranting against the judicial system.  Like the wild animal that he is, Trump is vicious when wounded, and now he's out for even greater revenge against his detractors than before.  And if he is President again, revenge to him won't mean eating a Pop-Tart in victory. 

Again, the courts won't save us from Trump.  Vote.
