Yesterday's verdict in the Trump/Bragg case left many Americans angry and even afraid. How can this be? How is this possible? Are we really in a Banana Republic?
Full transparency, this editor was rocked. Sure, we all knew this would be the likely result (we could see it happening in real-time thanks to Merchan's fearlessly biased actions), but still ... watching it actually happen was disturbing.
Luckily Leslie McAdoo Gordon was good enough to write this thread - take a look:
Some perspective.

1. There are multiple, well founded grounds for actual reversal on appeal in the DJT NY case. Unlike in most ordinary cases where as a practical matter there are few.
... well-founded grounds for actual reversal.
Yup.
2. The conviction does not preclude DJT from running for President or serving as President.

3. Any sentence will likely be stayed pending appeal under normal legal principles, if not by Merchan, then by a courts of appeals.
This. This. This.
No matter how many times the mouth-breathers on the Left try and claim otherwise.
4. Thus, as a practical matter, this verdict very likely does not change anything between now & Nov.

Except there will be more legal maneuvering in this case & the others.
That and Trump will garner more support and money.
Just sayin'.
We saw it happening yesterday.
So:

Be angry at the disgusting spectacle of the lawfare with which the Libs are tarnishing our nation.
But do not lose faith or hope in our great Republic.
Do. Not. Lose. Faith.
Amen.
But we need to double down again on demanding that our government operate by our governing principles & norms, living them ourselves, & creating consequences for those who won’t.

YAAAAS!
There was never any problems with the criminal justice system until felon scumbag Trump started being held responsible for his crimes. Now the maga tears are pouring.
