Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict

This passive acquiesence of violence and rioting is what he should've really been convicted of.

Scary. I'm a British permanent resident of Japan, so it's not really my business, but those words from Trump appeared to be responsible for this. He's a master at this kind of thing. I wonder how many people will be killed in the next 24 hours as a result.

Jury members were much smarter than the voters. Well done for his conviction. He will be the first convicted criminal president in the third world country.

Surprising no one. The "beacon of democracy" in name only. How many national guards, capital police and/or USA military will be guarding the White House on November 5?

“1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to Washington and hang everyone. That's the only solution,” said one poster on Patriots.win. Another added: “Trump should already know he has an army willing to fight and die for him if he says the words...I’ll take up arms if he asks.”

The MAGA crowd are really, really bad losers. If they lose it's because someone else cheated. (If they win they take the credit.)

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? I thought conservatives believed in that.

“This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge, who was corrupt. I’m a very innocent man. This was a rigged decision.” — Donald Trump after his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records

Give him the maximum of four years of prison. According to Reuters, “Judges often look favorably on people who admit culpability and express remorse.” Trump has shown none.

What a surprise. One could almost imagine that this sort of thing has happened before at the behest of the same poor, persecuted victim.

And there it is...pure far-right domestic terrorism...no different than Al Qaeda or ISIS...

Trump meets justice for his business fraud and they want to "Hang the Libs"....

MAGA-world is nothing but a cult of violence and anarchy...ready to take up arms to destroy our democracy...

Lock 'em all up...or send them to Russia....

Thank you Justice system and the Jury! Great to hear. Trump convicted on all accounts. Now, he has to face the music and his accountability. Great news and that's not lie.

One thing I'm confused is that if you're found guilty in a Federal crime, aren't you taken into custody?

Trump needs to shut this down immediately but I guess just like on Jan 6 he will not.

Completely expected, It is sad that people that choose to perform their civic duty and participate in a trial now have to be afraid of violent thugs trying to get revenge on them.

Pfft.

The only uprising they can get done is the biscuits in their ovens and the water level in their bathtubs.

Pathetic weak losers.

"...according to a Reuters review of comments on three Trump-aligned websites..."

So, this article is LITERALLY, "I went online, and found the most extreme comments possible for a news story."

I can't handle this again. You try to overthrow the government with violence that is treason, no messing around.

@chico

First, The Bad Orange Stain was convicted in state court. Perhaps you confuse a federal crime and felony?

Anyways, sentencing depends on the kind of felony ( in this case a strong class E felony) which provides sentencing guidelines, and 1) how repentant the convicted felon is, and 2) his or her likelihood to be repeat offender, aka, "recidivism"

NY state guidelines states: For a class E felony, the term shall be fixed by the court, and

shall not exceed four years.

I would like to see these goobers self-identify as insurrectionists.

Where’s Bass4fu k saying how great Trump is now?

That’s the same fellow who predicted a Trump “landslide” only one week before the election four years ago. His information sources are clearly not that good!

A lot, but that's because we can't throw everyone preemptively in jail like China.

If the Trump supporters here don’t fly back to take part in the coming insurrection attempt, all thier support was just meaningless fluff.

just saying.

Exactly zero. One man rebellions last about as long as a trip to the liquor store.

The United States was NEVER a democracy. We're a Republic, those are two different thing.

A Republic is a democracy. Power can't be a public affair (res publica) without it.

so where are all those maga on here rejecting the calls for violence, nowwhere to been seen.

its what and who they are

The United States was NEVER a democracy. We're a Republic, those are two different thing.

stop with the maga BS, America is a democratic republic has been called that by every president in the last 100yrs., state elections are decided by the popular vote

The United States was NEVER a democracy. We're a Republic, those are two different thing.

First, we are federal republic. If you want to be technical pedantic, at least do your homework and be right. [GAwd, I miss I conservatives who actually cared about persuasion and winning arguments]

That is the form of our country. And democratic elections have ALWAYS been the method by which each and every state MUST use to choose its legislative and executive representatives.

The ongoing issue is and always been who amoungstthe governed have the legal right to participate in those democratic elections. IOW enfranchisement. We started with a rather limited enfranchisement: land owning males.

Things have changed a bit since then.

So buck up pal, sharpen your pencil, and don't be afraid to learn or things or two.

A Republic is a democracy

No, it's not. A democracy means that citizens vote on practically everything. If you want to see an actual example of an "American Democracy", there's The Articles of Confederation (Which failed). A republic means that a representative is chose, though whatever means, to a position in the government, and said representative acts upon the "interests" of the people he represents. The extra kicker here is that there was no requirement that any of the states refer to elections in regards to choosing government representatives (Except for the House, that was it). If one of the states wanted to, they could have even operated like one of the monarchies in Europe (With the government entirely choosing their senators in Congress and who the state will support for president, bypassing the people's opinions).

“Until and unless he accepts the process, the extremist reaction to his legal troubles will be militant,” said Ware, a research fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Trump may be able to continue campaigning and accept the GOP nomination, evading jail time for the charges in this case.

But ironically it seems his pronouncements and the extreme reactions of his followers lend more credence to the much more serious charges related to Jan. 6th Capitol attack.

His dog whistles are more like klaxons.

No it doesn't. There are many different types of democracies.

A Republic basically means you don't have a monarch.

There are many different types of democracies.

Like West Taiwan, and how they're the "best" type of democracy?

Those are for "Make America Accelerate its Decline (MAAD)".

man that Trump 2nd term gonna be lit.

None of the liberal heroes off limits now, precedent has been set. game on.

MAGA has been arguing against "democracy' for years now because they can't win elections anymore and they want believe our elections are not legitimate, because of all the" illegal votes" by people who don't vote Red. Y'know Mexicans, Blacks and the Woke Libtards who ruined their movies.

The outrage they've ginned up with this myth of illegal voting goes part and parcel with the myth that the justice system is rigged against their Dear Leader. It also means a certain number of these bloodthirsty fools will advocate for the violent resistance of the perversions of their country.

And, considering today's guilty verdict, Trump will start even more outrage rhetoric, and incite violence in his followers. And some stupid idiots will heed the call.

You've heard it here first.

Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution 

Of course they do, no surprise here.

Maybe, but don't you think he will be a bit too old in 2028?

What do you mean? Your toadies on the supreme court are going to declare presidents forever immune from federal prosecution. You going to take over the Wilmington prosecutor so you can charge Biden with murdering Trump's authoritarian fantasies?

The GOP law and order is becoming the party of violence and disorder.

Maybe, but don't you think he will be a bit too old in 2028?

This actually is something I agree with. I do believe that is Trump is too old of a candidate. And of the alternatives, I really hoped that Ramaswamy would have stayed in the race.

The level of delusion of the mob is scary. This is humanity at its worse.

man that Trump 2nd term gonna be lit.

If by any "chance" he has a 2nd term, it will be from jail.

It will be the beginning of the end of the US.

but don't you think he will be a bit too old in 2028?

Yep but he won’t be in 5 months. Tick tock

This trial was as silly as Monicagate. The other federal and non-NYC charges are more serious but were brought rather late.
