This was a machine-gun mob-style hit job
on Trump. It was nakedly political - and
will make his victory more likely, not less

Whaaat??? How can anyone survive that? By all the laws of politics the Trump campaign should today be a smoking ruin.
He's a felon. He's a criminal – and he is the first president in US history to be convicted of such ostensibly serious offences.
Every time that jury foreman pronounced the word 'Guilty' in the Manhattan court on Thursday, he should by all normal logic have been dealing a death-blow to Donald Trump's hopes of regaining the White House.
He said it not just once but 34 times. This was no ordinary political assassination. This was a machine-gun mob-style hit-job on Trump.

Good analysis. As we get closer to the election, it will be interesting to see if the dems back off the "Trump is a felon" theme when they find it just boosts his poll numbers. If they can use these tactics against Trump, they can use them against every other American.

There is not a single juror that could name the 34 charges, or explain what any one of them meant. They are all brainwashed to hate Trump, and could not possibly have debated 34 charges in the short time it took for them to reach a verdict. None of them are worth their space.

“I didn't like what happened in Washington on Jan 6 2021 when rioters stormed the Capitol. I believe that Trump should have conceded to Joe Biden immediately. But in the end the American Constitution worked, and there was a peaceful and timely transition of power from one administration to the next.”
No, it did not, Boris, and I refuse to accept this premise from anyone, right or left. The comments after the article are interesting. Typically with DM pieces the majority of the comments are rather conservative or agree with a conservative point of view. The PR machine of the left is operating in hyperdrive all over social media to keep the Trump-felon-jury-of-his-peers talking points alive.

While we agree with the Prime Minister's perspective, there is room differ from his position that he would have preferred Trump to immediately concede. What Trump's refusal to be cowed down has done is (that) the truth about the Grand Election Theft of 2020 has been squeezed out like paste out of a tube and smeared all over public awareness.. If the 'Rats attempt another theft in 2024 (and they will. They have no choice left) they will be forced to do it in broad daylight of public knowledge. Those 'mules in the night' will have search lights of public scrutiny shining on them.

#3. The Constitution did NOT work on J 6
The election was on its way to not being certified, until the mob action planned by the political class intervened. The Constitution was prevented from working by traitors who walk the halls of Congress this very day. The election was clearly stolen, in a number of states, and while the Constitution has protections against that, the criminal traitors got away with their crime, and just LOOK at where we are today...

A Democrat: Your guy is a convicted felon. What does that say about Trump?
A Republican: Your guy is losing to a convicted felon. What does that say about Biden?
Boris Johnson is correct. The American people know the fix was in.

So Jill Stein requesting a recount of three states in 2016 was okay?

They haven't been able to influence the general populace with these show trials. Neither will incarceration.
My guess, the next step will be removing Trump from the ballot and any vote for Trump will not be counted. We can all hear the left saying it, "We can't have a felon on the ballot! We can't have a felon in government!". Sanctimonious hypocrites.
This isn't over yet. I can imagine even more charges piled on from other fake trials.

So if PDJT wins the election while in the slammer, does that get him out of jail? Where is the constitutional provision for handling THAT aspect of this travesty? The whole idea of him winning in November remains completely surreal without that detail being prominently addressed.

This nonsense would stop, immediately, if just one Republican DA filed charges on Joe Biden, in a Republican district, with a Republican judge, and a Republican jury, for treason, perjury, bribery, extortion, slander, etc etc etc.
Just one.

Come on Judge Roberts. If the Supremes put the brakes on the July sentencing, the entire lawfare house of cards comes crashing down. Jack Smith's and Fani's case are in shambles. Finish the job.
