Does the gag order suddenly lift when the verdict comes in? I'll bet he was more excited to be talking shit about everyone again since he doesn't expect any jail time from this conviction. My karma is to forever vaccilate between excitement at the prospect of Fuckface von Fuckstick getting his comeuppance and the cynicism arising from witnessing his lifetime of unpunished crimes.
Not only that, he violated his gag order by criticizing a witness (Michael Cohen), so his bail should be revoked and he should be imprisoned pending his appeals.
Believe me, I want him convicted but most legal folks think it will be overturned on appeal. Too many legal mistakes that even IQ45 lawyers can adjudicate.
so if I remember futurama right: Bender isnt allowed to vote because he is a convicted felon. Now I go ahead and assume you are also not allowed to run for president as a convicted felon.
@Americans: how does this work with the term "convicted" in the US? If he appeals the verdict, does it still count as "convicted" or is that term only viable after there are no more appeals possible?
If his conviction is overturned on appeal, the legal term for that is vacated. It means the conviction is undone, because the original judgement was found to be in error.
UK here. He's every negative American stereotype combined into one person. I'd never come across a human being with literally no redeeming qualities until him.
As a Norwegian living in the UK I was so relieved that Biden won. Finally an adult back in the house and the threat of nuclear world war 3 lessened again. Trump is a criminal narcissist and it is baffling how his supporters don’t see it and how people can vote for him. Especially -again-. Last election showed how crazy many Americans truly were.
Brazilian here: he’s a massive of shit that represents danger not only to Americans but the world as a whole, being an anti democracy putin bootlicker, he has the capacity to plunge the ever so delicate world order into chaos. ALSO, here in Brazil we have our own bastard (Bolsonaro) who is trumps number 1 fan and draws inspiration on every orange stained step he takes.
Lucky for us our bastard has been throughly defeated at the ballot and by the courts and is ineligible at least for now.
Canadian here: it’s like watching a horror movie clown constantly yell and gloat about all the horror stuff he’s done, and half the audience is cheering him on, and the other half is saying “well, we have to hear him out”, with a scroll bar along the bottom of the screen saying (the screams of children/trans ppl/women/poc have been edited out)
In France (and probably any other European country) he couldn't have remained free for that long, he would have been in jail on January 7th at the latest. Anyway, he wouldn't have been elected because his porn star adventures and collusion with Russia would have leaked during the campaign. Then again, we've never elected a TV star with no qualification. And we have direct voting, no electoral college. So yeah, let's just say what's happening in the US is very peculiar to us.
He was tried and convicted for his abusive campaign funds. He lost that campaign in 2012, he was elected before in 2007. He was a lawyer and politician all his life. And he didn't foment an insurrection or shag porn stars. So I don't think he's like Trump.
Well, not all Americans. My household celebrated today. Was a proud of our judicial system knowing he was found guilty on all counts. Can’t stand him. Zero values. Narcissistic criminal. Scared of what he could do if elected again… wouldn’t be surprised if we got booted from NATO if he served a second presidential term. (Due to all the corruption he brings with him.).
Seriously? Isn’t that so sad. He is destroying relations with so many countries. It’s so horrible. Unpopular American view: we are not the center of the universe and are only as strong as our relationship with our allies.
When he was first elected politicians from several countries basically went "what the fuck is that thing" in very diplomatic language. There were also some really weird pro-Trump demonstrations in a LOT of places, the Japanese ones made the biggest news i think. There were probably 10 times more anti-Trump demonstrations world wide though...
I'm afraid i have NO idea what the hell prompted those. We had a couple of smaller ones in Sweden but the ones shown from Japan were pretty large and wide spread. It's weird because at which other point in history have there been demonstrations in SUPPORT of a newly elected leader in a foreign country?
Australian here.. Where to start?? A cock-juggling thundercunt? A giant douchcanoe A traitor Someone who has set back The USA by 70 years Someone who makes me not want to visit the USA Contender for worst human in history
But as a fellow Aussie, I know people that outright support him and more that agree with the MAGA narrative of the DOJ being biased against him etc. Etc. We have just as many dickheads. We'll maybe not just as many but you know what I mean.

He can appeal from prison
kikitheblonde
The conviction can be vacated, and then he is not longer a convicted felon. But until/unless it is vacated, he is a convicted felon.

Apologies up front for my lack of knowledge- but what does it mean to “vacate a conviction “?
