So in the United States a convicted felon is NOT allowed to vote, but IS allowed to run for President

EXPLAIN THE LOGIC

The lines at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse.

The Trump hush money trial has become a public grovelling pit for Republicans wishing to be Trump's running mate. These people have lost any remaining dignity they might have still had.

VP wannabees: Be careful what you ask for.

FELLAS!

TRUMP WAS FOUND GUILTY ON ALL ACCOUNTS IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL!

CRAB RAVE TIME!

[news-of-the-day]

5/30/24

Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of the hush money trial, making him now a felon. His sentencing hearing will be on July 11th. Maximum is four years in prison, but he's a first offender and it's a nonviolent crime, so even if he were just a regular Joe Shmoe, he may receive home confinement or even probation. This isn't a federal case so he can't pardon himself later. I'll try to write slowly over the weekend to describe this case better. Some of his more serious cases, like the Georgia one, are also state level but aren't scheduled until after the election.

In a massive, massive reversal, the Biden administration is now allowing the Ukraine to fire US-made weapons into Russia proper, but only near the borders. This is due to the sudden Russian advances, because until now the US has been trying desperately to avoid escalating the situation.

Israel is now allowing food produced in Israel and the West Bank to be sold to Gaza, the first time since the war. Ever since the Rafah offensive started, pretty much all aid has ground to a halt, and people are starving. Whatever gets in will undoubtedly not be enough.

Garry Conille was voted in as Haitian prime minister by the Presidential Transition Council. After Prime Minister Moise was assassinated in 2021, the country — which admittedly already wasn't the most stable — kinda started slipping into chaos. The next prime minister, Henry, was under suspicion for the assassination. He also started losing control of the country to gangs, to the point that he once couldn't land his plane from an international trip because gangs had taken over the airport. He resigned a few months ago and the council stepped in. Conille has led the country briefly and has a lot of experience in the UN, but it's a very, very perilous situation with over 4000 people since January dying due to gang violence. He will lead the country until the next elections, but there haven't been any held since there's too much violence in the streets. There's literally no functioning legislature due to this.

Slovakian Prime Minister Fico was released from the hospital after he was shot during a meeting with supporters. The shooter, a 71-year-old man with no strong political affiliations, seems to have gotten entrenched with political fervor. In recent years political tension in Slovakia has ratched up and there are even talks of possible civil war, ever since a journalist was killed in 2018 whilst investigating corruption.

Fourteen Hong Kong pro-democracy activists were convicted and two were acquitted for subversion. They were amongst 47 others who were arrested in 2020 by organizing an unofficial primary to pick candidates to run for office and were accused of trying to overthrow the government.

India is suffering a horrible heatwave with at least 115°, with one city reaching 126°. Only ten people have died so far, but many have been hospitalized and there undoubtedly will be more to come.

Donald Trump Becomes The First Former US President To Get A Criminal Conviction.

New York: A New York jury found Donald Trump guilty of all charges in his hush-money case, making him the first former US president to be convicted of a felony. This verdict occurred months before an election that would have resulted in Trump’s reelection.

The 34 counts of manipulating company documents to conceal a payment intended to silence porn star Stormy Daniels were all found guilty by the jury. Although a four-year prison term for each crime is a possibility, probation is more likely.

Posted May 30th, 2024, at 4:26 PM. Regardless of what side of the American political spectrum you find yourself on, you gotta admit, it’s historic that a former president has been convicted on any charge and found guilty. I think the closet I personally can recall learning having happened in American history was back when regan was impeached.

Then again, I wasn’t a good listener in American history class.

Has this kind of a thing occurred before to a American president?

A take on Trump's Hush Money conviction: I don't think it was politically wise to put Trump on trial for this particular thing. It was a minor crime and unrelated to why his enemies actually want to see him convicted and prevented from running for president: That he tried to stage a coup to stay in power after loosing the election.

This conviction will:

Not prevent him from running for president and

convince his supporters that his enemies are grasping at straws but can't actually show that he did what they accuse him of.

The only trial against Trump that should have been pursued is the Election Interference trial. Unfortunately, it seems to have started way too late. There might not even be a verdict before the election.

The Republicans needed to know if Trump commited conspiracy against the United States before they started their primary.

"A felony conviction does not disqualify you from running for President."

...Seems like a bit of an oversight.

Of course when they wrote the rule, they were inventing a new country, and all of them had just got done doing treason against England.

Again, seems like falling back on shit written in the 1790s in 2024 is an inherently bad idea.

"OH SO WHAT A BLACK PERSON WITH A DRUG CONVICTION CAN'T BE PRESIDENT??"

Shut up, Candace Owens. You absolutely know that isn't remotely what I'm talking about.
