It was not the weakest case. It was actually one of the strongest, with tons of corroborating evidence.
If anything, I think the weakest case right now is the insurrection one. Fulton county is the next strongest, then the hush money case just finished, then the classified docs case.
It's a bit nitpicky though. He's super obviously guilty in all of them just based on publicly available info. Maybe the defense in each case has a bullet proof strategy we don't know about but... I doubt it.
I wouldn't take that bet but we have to acknowledge that this is progress. If you'd told me a year ago trump would be convicted on 34 felonies before June I'd have laughed at you.
The arc of history is long but it does bend towards justice. We are witnessing that bend now after decades of frustration. Enjoy this win at least a little bit.
If the story hadn't been about to come out in late October 2016 and the Access Hollywood tape hadn't just come out, there's a decent chance he wouldn't have paid her off.
As in most things in life, it's all about timing and that was a big part of the prosecutions case for establishing motive.
He's a job hopper and I don't expect him to be there more than a year or so longer. He mostly keeps his dumb shit to himself but I guess if you're gonna spout off then the day your orange turd gets convicted of felonies is a logical one.
The guy behind me that watches fox news all day because "he needs something to help him focus" immediately started spouting fox talking points as soon as the verdict was read. My younger coworkers were like, "no way, that's crazy" to all his bs. I just had to say, "no that's not true. I read the jury instructions and they don't say that." He moved onto insisting there was no evidence and Cohen perjured himself and at that point I was already on my way out the door.
He's Gen x, a landlord, new York exile, classic gabagool. Ugh.
Here's the relevant part of their website for reference:
If you request an extreme number of keys and you are not offering Steam customers a comparable deal, or if your sole business is selling Steam Keys and not offering value to Steam customers, your request may be denied and you may lose the privilege to request keys.
I find it hard to believe Sony would run afoul of these guidelines. I'm not sure what they mean by "if your sole business is selling steam keys". Maybe referring to shovelware 'developers' that use steam for laundering money, if I had to guess.
The hilarious thing is that Sony could open their own pc storefront selling steam keys, keep their 30%, and the only restriction would be maintaining price parity with the same game on the Steam storefront.
For a. Company like Sony that already has all the payment processing and customer service knowhow, this would be far easier for them than most.
Yet they can't or won't bother because suits are fucking stupid.
Just repeat the mantra "three supreme court justices" over and over. Even if nothing else, the next president will almost certainly shape the court for decades to come. Alito, Sotomayor, and Thomas will all almost certainly retire or die in the next four years.
She pled out in a RICO case. It's standard for the first ones to flip to get sweetheart deals. Powell and Chesebro also got off easy. It's to incentivize small fish to flip early on the big fish to bolster the case.
Does it satisfy our collective justice boners? No. This is pretty SOP though.
If trump internal polling showed the same lead, there's no way he would show up to try to eat away a slice of the libertarians puny 2-3% of the vote.
I think the numbers look way worse for Trump than national pollsters show and I think their polling indicates Trump loses in a landslide if he's convicted in any of his cases.
Criticism of Biden is fine. Floating the idea of voting for anyone but Biden is fucking mental. This is as binary a choice as you will ever have when it comes to presidents.
Yes, bibi would bomb even harder. Bibi would kill every last Palestinian if he could. Yes, Trump would give even more bombs, and tanks, and aircraft, and whatever else Israel asked for. Bibi would literally have carte Blanche with Trump in the white house. If that's what you, along with at least two more supreme court appointments, mass deportation, an end to birthright citizenship, and oh by the way, the effective end of elections in this country then go ahead and vote against Biden. Maybe you'll be second or third against the wall if you're lucky.
