Perhaps. But reelecting Trump would be worse. I'm convinced of that much.
We have a verdict -- Guilty on ALL counts

"No one" would have these charges brought against them in the first place. But it happened. You underestimate these contemptibles at your own risk.
As I just said, as bad as it was before, it would be even worse for the country now. And this is what you’ve been rooting for.
Doesn’t matter what party they belong to. You can still call for an idiot like Menendez to resign. Weren’t there a lot of members from both parties calling for Santos to retire?
Also, the country did alright with Trump as president.
Better in most ways than we’ve been doing with Biden.
That is kind of my expectation. I believe he will be reelected and he and his people will be on a revenge tour the likes this country has never seen. And this verdict today will make them feel vindicated in everything they do...and a whole bunch of people on this side of the aisle aren't going to be bothered to entertain the complaints about "muh norms" and "muh democracy" from the same types who are cheering and laughing in this thread.
This was the equivalent of Harry Reid blowing up the filibuster. I think it is going to come back to bite a whole bunch of people on the ass. Like better not have even parking tickets type of situation because every little inconsistency in anything a politician does is going to be reason for Trump to prosecute his enemies. And frankly, convictions don't even matter. I think most people in Washington have dirt, just the prosecution alone to drag their dirt into public is the punishment. We took a step towards banana republic today and I completely expect to continue down that road next year.
I actually think what is best for the country is re-electing Trump. The GOP needs a win after this boondoggle.
Wanna bet your farm land on this being overturned?
Just tuned in. He's acquitting himself well under the circumstances. Not being all Trumpy or crazy.
Trump is a scumbag but Biden is a hardcore progressive. He’s a nonstarter. Read his promise today for the S. Ct.
Yep and the next “Trump” will be smarter and more prepared than Donald. Democrats went too far. People have long memories.
Getting even will be fun to watch.
We took a step today toward declaring that nobody, no matter how rich and powerful, is above the law.
If Trump gets locked up he can finally work on his healthcare plan.
I liked this post until you added the last sentence.
I've been rooting for Trump to be held to account after he tried to overthrow the election and the transition of power. Then the gloves came off. If he'd just accepted defeat and ridden off into the sunset I would have been fine.
Wait, I thought you guys WANTED Trump thrown in jail.
Now you don’t?
Wants and expectations are different things.
That doesn’t change anything, Mark.
This is still exactly what you’ve been rooting for.
Justifying it in your own mind doesn’t change the reality.
It’s a tacit admission that they realize this has gone too far. Dog who caught the car type stuff.
The justice system is a game to them.
So you DON’T want Trump in jail?
Or you don’t think this “crime” warrants a jail sentence?
It would be great if he goes to jail. But wealth, power privilege, and the threat of right wing violence all work in his favor. I am not sure of the sentencing precedence. First time felon, you'd think not. But how many 1st time felons were convicted on 34 felonies?
If by this you mean now, under today's circumstances, then yes, this is what I've been rooting for. It may be bad for the country, but letting him off Scot-free would be worse, and reelecting him will be worse still.
34 is all the same shit. I cringe every time you write that
Kaitlin asked him about getting paid, and he assured her that yes, he was getting paid.
I wonder how long that lasts. Trump will have to blame somebody.
Typically you want an appellate expert to handle the appeal. Different firm
I don't expect to get locked up for a speeding ticket. But for 34 speeding tickets? I might be on a stainless steel toilet and going for walks in the yard.
You wanted him convicted but not thrown in jail. You wanted him convicted because you think it will keep him from being elected. You want the justice system to help do what you’re afraid your fellow Americans won’t.
Thats not good for the country regardless of how you try to spin it.
Trump has to be horrible to represent
I should turn over to Alex Wagner. It must be an orgy on MSNBC. But I can't remember what channel that is. No Rachel every night? No spot in my favorites list on the Directv remote.
I thought Blanche was forced to leave his firm when he took on Trump and he's now a sole practitioner. But don't hold me to that.
She asked about that as well. He defended Trump as a person and a client.
(Please knock it off with the personal slams. Thanks.)
Coach’s finest work. This is pure artistry.
