Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, felon.

As for your veiled “nice country you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it.” threat: bring it, sweetie.

I’M tired of the constant lying and whining about rigged this and that whenever you and your cult lose. (And they seem to lose a LOT!)

Trump’s goons talk a good game but when there’s real consequences, they slink away became like their cult lord, they are cowards.

More left wing media propaganda here.

Joe Biden is so poor at his job that regular Americans donated 52 million dollars to a convicted felon in just 24 hours to support him do the job instead.

"I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know at a certain point there's a breaking point," he said.

This isn't the threat Trump thinks it is. Violence over any possible prison prison would just remind people have awful the MAGA movement is, and how little respect they have for rule of law.

"She's fine, but I think it's very hard for her," Trump said. "She has to read all this crap."

And know that her husband betrayed her so utterly.

Melania Trump has barely engaged with her husband's current White House campaign, failing to appear at a single Trump rally, and rarely joins him in public.

I'm not surprised. She hate the man. She most likely will vote Biden in November.

Trump warns jail time could be 'breaking point' for supporters

I would argue that the Overton Window of the 'breaking point' of the American electorate has been distorted.

It used to be along such lines as slavery, gross abuse of civil rights and unjust wars.

Making up pretenses for war in 2003 and bailing out bankers for their malfeasance while many were rendered destitute brought about some pushback but changed little.

But the delusion of MAGA is a powerful drug that may drown out such realities.

Probably not the kind of revenge Trump has in mind.

No, because he's only been found guilty of white collar crimes, he can appeal as you keep pointing out and even if he does end up in jail (highly unlikely) he might still get elected president. How many leftists' heroes do you think were so fortunate?

Trump needs to be incarcerated. He has no sense of truth, remorse, acceptance or respect for law and order. Being afraid of Trump supporters as a reason to not apply the rules of justice as applied to others is simply giving in to the threat of violence. Being afraid of retribution is exactly what has brought this country to where it is today.

The more we give in, the more Trump demands and we have done this since 2016. It has "normalized" actions and behavior that would have been intolerable in the past, even among Republicans.

If the brainwashed MAGA crowd want to try and overturn our justice system, let them. Like the Jan 6th insurrectionists, they are acting against the United States, They are domestic terrorists and should be treated and prosecuted as such.

And for those who are mentally challenged enough to want a convicted felon to be the next President of the U.S., how is Trump suppose to fulfill his duties? 37 countries prohibit the entry of convicted felons into their countries. And that even includes the United States.

jail, which is only a slight possibility in his case, would be nothing compare to a years-long prison sentence for the espionage act crimes

Normally I would agree, however…

Given that the crimes were intended to effect the outcome of an election, that the convict treated the court and the process with such disdain, and given the total lack of remorse on the part of the convict, I don’t think a sentence of incarceration is out of the question.

Well, Trump is a convicted felon now. Some argue that it helps him, but they've got to be trying to fool themselves if they actually believe that.

No, it looks like the Republican Party has placed their bets on the wrong candidate. A jury of 12 different U.S. citizens from the state where the crimes were committed decided that Trump was guilty. It wasn't rigged as Trump claims, but quite fair. The only rigging going on has been vice versa, and it's Trump who's been the one trying to rig things so that things would fall his way.

Rationally, without taking sides of the personality, we should be discussing the ramifications of the candidacy.

This whole circus is backfiring on the Democrats big time. It's resulted in ordinary people digging into their packets and making huge numbers of small donations to the Trump campaign. And the donations will only continue to grow as the Democrats double-down on their dastardly deeds - they can't help it.

And according to lawyer Robert Barnes in an interview on the Tom Woods Show a couple of days ago, the Democrats' case against him was built on a concoction of BS (my paraphrasing) in an attempt to get Trump by any means necessary.

They went after Trump for many years and this is the best they've got! He's the cleanest US ex-president/president in recent history.

The US justice system is a joke; they're in no position to criticize how Russia allegedly mistreats their candidates.

Sure, he could even serve from his cell at Rikers Island...

He can invite his BFFs Putin and Xi for a Summit...they could be on one side of the screen in the visiting room, and Trump behind the screen in the other...

And given most of his former staff and lawyers will already be behind bars, it will make staff meetings so much easier...

Hannibal Lector for Attorney General?

Democrats have weaponized the justice system against their political opponent.

No matter how many times this is repeated, it is still 100% pure baloney.

Trump is a con man. Always has been. And now that he’s a convicted FELON, he’s conning his supporters in a whole new way.

And using that old dog whistle to ready his cult mob, pitchforks and scaffolds and all.

. As they say, careful what you wish for.

A threat.

Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers, who were vetted and approved by Trump’s lawyers. The only people wishing for vendettas are you and your MAGA pals.

Because you’re completely in thrall to Trump. Any level-headed person can see that the trial was fair.

Yep, Democrats have weaponized the justice system against their political opponent.

Wild accusations. We may believe you, if you were able to back it up with evidence. But you can't.

Whatever happened to the land of the free and a beacon of democracy.

It never went. If Trump is elected president, you can kiss that goodbye.

all elections are state elections, even for national office.

people are electing state electors.

that’s 5th grade civics.

huh? Then there are no would be no “federal” elections at all then??

then why is there a “Federal Election Commission”?

5th grade civics called, it’s for you, pick up on line 1.

Neither will happen.

No matter how many times this is repeated, it is still 100% pure baloney. 

No, it’s 100% fact. Take the blinds off and look at the players.

Trump is a con man. Always has been. And now that he’s a convicted FELON, he’s conning his supporters in a whole new way. 

Whatever, the diatribe sounds like desperate whimpers of a sheep heading to the slaughterhouse. Proud to vote for the convicted felon who’s still alive and kicking.

And using that old dog whistle to ready his cult mob, pitchforks and scaffolds and all. 

The libs are always ready, so much so that they have proven how far they will go. They will burn down a church or a police station, or run the streets and hoping they can find unarmed conservatives to beat down, one of them thankfully managed to wield a firearm and blow half the arm of his Marxist attacker. Ok, so both sides are ready.

A threat.

Seems like when Schumer told Trump to be carful on how he deals with our intel agencies they have many ways of getting back. That sounded like a threat back then.

Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers,

In NYC one of the bluest states, a state that didn’t vote for him.

who were vetted and approved by Trump’s lawyers. The only people wishing for vendettas are you and your MAGA pals.

You believe that, I believe that Adam Schiff and Swalwell are secret Republicans and Pelosi is a Fox News contributor

My strong suspicion is that Judge Merchan will sentence Mr. Trump to the maximum allowable fines and probation during which he will be required to perform a few to several hundred hours of community service. Make him do community service with the people he disparages most, immigrants, the poor, LGBTQ, Hispanics and African Americans. Make him serve these groups and deal with them face to face. He just might learn something and maybe even gain a teeny tiny bit of humility. I would also have him spend a couple of weekends scrubbing the floors and bathrooms of the Lower Manhattan Courthouse, with an African American supervising him. No reporters, no cameras.

If he wins the election he wins the election. Simple. People will be unhappy if, like his 2016 win he lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College Vote but like 2016 and 2000 with Shrub, people will have to accept the result. There won't be any violence.

I frankly do not think he will win but if he does he does.

It's time to dump Trump and get a new Republican presidential candidate? If you look at the careers and lives of people around Trump ruined. Also, Trump is bankrupting himself and people like Rudy and My Pillow Guy. Republicans, do the right thing. Get a different candidate. How about Mitt Romney or someone?

Yeah, none of that crap will be happening. But thanks to the Dems they once again opened the Pandora’s box to the same attacks happening to them in the future, so this is the new norm. They just couldn’t settle this at the ballot box, they had to use the justice system to get this guy and now it’s backfiring big time as we all knew it would and the more they try to pound this guy, the more popular he gets.

5th grade civics called, it’s for you, pick up on line 1.

The FEC doesn't run elections. Period. Full Stop. States and counties run elections. The FEC investigates accusations of candidates violating Federal election laws, primarily violations of campaign finance and reporting regulations, inaccurate, late or fraudulent reporting and the like.

But the FEC does not operate the polls or count the votes. In fact they have no involvement in the vote count. That is entirely up to the states and every state has different laws on how the vote is conducted, how the votes are counted and how the results are certified.

Lock him up and give his supporters a free one-way ticket to Russia. They seem like they would be more at home there. Maybe Russia can then give their prize asset asylum.

The Dems haven't been involved, and this wasn't an attack. Trump committed crimes and now he is paying the price.

happening to them in the future,

It won't happen to them, because they don't commit crimes. But if they do commit crimes, I'm more than happy for them to pay for it with convictions.

You're making the assumption that everyone in these groups thinks the same way, and obviously untrue. In fact there's a growing number of people in all these demographics, most notably among the Black and Hispanic populations, who are shifting their votes either to undecided or to Trump. So your proposal could end up putting Trump in direct contact with people who'd be overjoyed to meet him in person.

I would also have him spend a couple of weekends scrubbing the floors and bathrooms of the Lower Manhattan Courthouse, with an African American supervising him. No reporters, no cameras.

We all know the "No reporters, no cameras" bit would be impossible. And you can bet Trump would make mileage out of it, regardless of how truthful or otherwise his anecdotes from the experience would be.

No, we are wondering why we are in Ukraine.

It won't happen to them,

Until the Republicans are back in power.
