What are you? Some kind of tape leg?

He hasn’t been afraid to say the quiet part out loud for a while now. This isn’t news, it’s more like a final echo off of a once-distant wall that’s just about within reach.

If enough people don’t get off their ass in November and vote to put Harris, the only other ACTUALLY REALISTIC choice, into office, then the final dominoes will fall.

I’m looking at all of you casual voters who don’t go every time. I’m looking at you independent voters. I’m looking at you remaining “undecided” wafflers. I’m looking at you unregistered "it’s too hard “ and “I’m too busy” people.

If Trump gets into office again, that’s on all of you, and you’re gonna be part of the problem if you aren’t part of the solution. NOBODY else is gonna do it for you. NONE of the other names that might appear on a ballot in your state will have a snowball’s chance in hell. If you don’t like Harris, that’s fine, you don’t have to like her, but choosing not to vote for Harris is giving your vote to Trump.

So get off your lazy ass for a few minutes to help save the world for what looks like it might be more than the next 4 years; it could be for a lot longer. And while you’re at it, if you keep voting Republicans into Congress, State, and local governments, (where most of the power ACTUALLY is), then they will keep working us all toward this kind of position. Stop putting them in power. Period.

Incorrect. He has to have a reason for the appeal trial to be approved. His lawyers can file an appeal on any grounds they see fit. That then has to be processed, which takes time. But I’ll fall back to the answer that I already gave as well, if he’s given a sentence that includes any sort of time to serve, his lawyers will use that as a basis for appeal, which is clearly stated as a possible reason for an appeal to be approved.

You’re operating on a fallacy. You can only be tried and convicted once per crime. Every single one is an opportunity for an appeal. Having more just increases the likelihood that there will be at least some possible appeal. The easiest route will probably be an appeal against whatever the sentence itself is once that’s issued, especially if he’s sentenced to serve time. But it doesn’t matter; his lawyers will simply look for every single possible way to delay the process, as they have continuously done.

One would hope.

Exactly. I’m not defending Trump in any way shape or form. But spreading misinformation, disregarding nuance, and ignoring factual details is dangerous and exactly what Republican politicians want. We need to be better than that as a nation.

No, he had a sexual abuse charge, not rape. None of the above was a criminal charge, only civil.

While that may mean there is a technical component to it, that’s not what people mean when they’re thinking about it. Being put into a prison is what people are referring to and that isn’t likely to happen.

It’s not like Trump is going to prison for this. He’s old, has no record, and did serve as president, regardless of how people feel about it. Plus, he’s going to appeal, which means this thing will drag on long enough to still not matter, sadly.

Using a well established name for a web-based thing, see gleam.io, is probably not the best idea.
