Donald Trump

Also this!

I must admit, i'm surprised he was found guilty, but great. I read that legal opinion appears to be that he won't get jail time for a host of reasons, but a fine and even community service are likely and of course he'll appeal. So perhaps nothing much will happen before the election but you'd think it would be a bit of a blow for his electoral chances. I mean the law and order conservatives, and boomers, might be a bit put off by voting for a felon? Perhaps it'll have the opposite impact. Not even the deep state can put him away! Who the fuck knows, America has lost its mind, anything could happen.

Keep in mind as felon in the US there are already consequences depending on the state of residence and conviction. I believe he has restrictions in the right to own a gun and passport restrictions apply, whether he will be allowed to vote depends on whether Florida decides to enforce that rule in Trumps case, although it does in other felony cases.

No surprise Trump supporters are calling for violence, even to the extent of raising an actual army and killing everyone in DC, for the US the next few weeks could be the beginning of interesting times!

Or not as the case may be, I personally suspect the number of Republicans willing to take up arms and start mass killing democrats is far fewer than the right wing news implies, there may be a few attacks, but it won't be mass uprising!

I see he is also banned from teaching English in South Korea, although even if that wasn't the case I very much doubt they would want his brand of English anyway!

Dang. I was hoping to see he "covfefe" would translate.

This is the stupidest man in the world, I'm sure;

Donald Trump has promised to stop the war in Gaza.

It's almost certain his plan involves shipping out all the Palestinians into concentration camps, that's his normal goto to solve these sorts of problems right? This is despite earlier saying;

Trump’s public comments on the war have been mixed and he said last month Israel is “losing the PR war” by failing to get the job done.

What he actually think should happen is Israel take over all of Gaza and drive out the Palestinians and they have just taken to long, I mean that's basically what Kushner's plan was right?
