Very telling that you don't think it matters what the reason an appeal might be successful is and that even considering what the ultimate reversable error that will lead to an overturn is a red herring. The very first thing you'd need to win on appeal is an actual reason you should win on appeal... Lots of people seem to expect an overturn based solely on feels, I suppose If it's overturned, I'll accept it. I won't like it, and I might not agree with the reasoning, but I'll have to accept it because that's how the rule of law works. You accept it even if you don't like it. However, this statute gets charged all of the time in NY. For decades. And the upper courts in NY have been totally fine with it. I do not expect them to overturn the conviction based on how the law was applied. If they had a problem with that, they would have done away with that interpretation of the law years ago. If it's overturned in the NY courts, my guess would likely be a Molineux issue with Stormy Daniels' testimony around the sexual encounter. Ultimately, it would be sent back for retrial and Trump would likely still be convicted because the testimony really isn't necessary for the conviction. It'd be annoying and take years to resolve, but the end result would be the same. I'm not going to predict what SCOTUS does. That court just likes to make it up as they go along. I can see them finding some way to interfere but I am unsure of the exact reasoning they will use. I've heard some people say it'll be presidential immunity, but how could paying off a porn star be a presidential act? You'd basically need complete presidential immunity, a thing we've never had in the history of this country (and is antithetical to our founding) and would in essence make the president a dictator. Which of course means that Biden can just assassinate Trump if he wants, so there's that.

You believe it will for certain be overturned on appeal but you don’t know why. And anyone should listen to you… why?

What is the clear error that will lead to the successful appeal?

Poll: More than half of voters approve of Donald Trump’s New York conviction

Kinda weird that you’d just advertise your support of fascism, but you do you, Heritage Foundation.

Oh buddy. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were an idiot. That’s my bad. Sorry! Edwards was found not guilty on some charges because the jury found that he acted solely to prevent the news of his affair from reaching his wife. The jury was hung on other charges. Unlike Trump, Edwards acted to cover up his affair immediately. He didn’t wait for a decade until he was running for office. In Trump’s case, the jury believed he acted not to prevent Melania from finding out but to help his campaign, which is a violation of campaign finance laws. I know these things seem super obvious to someone with a couple of brain cells to rub together but I guess you’re too much of a mastermind to recognize the obvious reality.

You literally said Edwards didn’t face charges. Now you’re moving the goalpost to say he wasn’t convicted. Can you read your own writing? Or is that too hard for you too?

Just a reminder that modern conservatism requires you to be ignorant.

Publisher of ‘2,000 Mules’ election conspiracy theory film issues apology I am shocked, absolutely shocked, that the people behind an obviously fake movie ended up being liars. Who could have possibly known?

It’s hard to imagine, but there are people out there whose brains have been so damaged by cable TV and the internet that they believe that Biden is prosecuting Menedez and Cuellar because they don’t fall in line even though the prosecutions risk the Dem majority in the Senate and could expand the GOP House majority. Not to mention that he’s somehow failed to stop the prosecution of his son for a crime that is likely to be found unconstitutional by SCOTUS. Some people just need to throw their phones into the ocean and touch some grass.

Seems like the investigation is still live.

Joe Biden has such terrible dementia that he has to be drugged to give speeches but also he’s such a master manipulator that he controls all of the state courts and coordinates them against his opponents.

Personally, I don’t like the state killing citizens, even if they are deserving of it. I get the justification, I think the strike was legal, I just personally don’t like it.

How so? Do you think dropping the bombs was an unofficial act?

As deplorable as that drone strike was, I have a hard time believing that SCOTUS would rule in a way that it could be found to have been an unofficial act and therefore prosecutable.

Seems less than ideal… Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction “The posts, which have been reviewed by NBC News, appear on many of the same websites used by Trump supporters to organize for violence ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. These forums were hotbeds of threats inspired by Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, which he lost, and that the voting system was “rigged” against him. They now feature new threats echoing Trump’s rhetoric and false claims about the hush money trial, including that the judicial system is now “rigged” against him. “Dox the Jurors. Dox them now,” one user wrote after Trump’s conviction on a website formerly known as “The Donald,” which was popular among participants in the Capitol attack. (That post appears to have been quickly removed by moderators.) “We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s--- is out of control.” “I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”

Why is he talking about pee?

Growing up in Rochester. Ironically, ended up the only Bills fan in the house. Parents are Browns fans from before the merger, which rubbed off on my younger brother.

People new to PPP can just ignore Tommy Eyerolls. He just plays the same script over and over.

Hunter Biden’s trial still set to begin on Monday. So odd that Joe Biden, the manipulator of all courts in the country, who controls the levers of the justice system at all levels would allow this to happen…

You do realize that Trumpism is pure projection right? You’re doing what you accuse others of.

If a Dem nominee was convicted of 34 felonies, it would almost certainly end their candidacy. But in the MAGA cult…

Remember the golden rule of conservatism: “There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” They’re mad because the law is binding someone on the in-group and that is unacceptable to them.
