This is incorrect.

Cohen plead guilty to tax evasion and campaign finance violations

Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records

Not only is the substance of the charge different, Cohen’s crimes were federal where Trump’s conviction is state.

the charges that trump is guilty of, the sentencing very, very rarely includes prison time. (because we live in a fucked up country where you can get away with anything as long as you’re a business.)

Yes. And he’s not the first to run a campaign from prison (though he likely won’t go to prison for the 34 felonies. Prison is extremely rare for those kinds of charges. even if he wasn’t trump.)

FTA:

The SEC has been probing Musk’s Twitter stock purchases to determine if he violated a securities law that requires disclosures within 10 days from anyone who buys more than a 5 percent stake in a company. Musk missed that deadline by 11 days, as he amassed close to a 10 percent stake, and a proposed class action lawsuit from Twitter shareholders has suggested that he intentionally missed the deadline to keep Twitter stock prices artificially low while preparing for his Twitter purchase.

can’t wait until he gets dinged for not paying it!

It gets into stock manipulation, and that’s a bit more of an investigation.

Simply missing a deadline is one thing.

Missing the deadline while buying more because that filing would likely trigger a jump in price… is a different thing.

Sometimes, a “reasonable accommodation” is to let them quit.

It cracks me up though. they accomodated him. Put him at a station that didn’t have a flag. then he went and removed the 3 other flags that were simply in view…

dude probably hates himself more.

[question] for the chemistry types- making chicken soup. Why did lemon juice turn the light brown chicken stock almost white?

Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock’s color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it...

Pretty sure the hearing wasn’t about asking for an adjournment, and the public defender tried to end the hearing by asking for an adjournment because her client was a dumbass.

I assume he was there to get a summary ruling on the misdemeanor- or maybe try and convince the judge to let it be a fine or something.

Which the judge ignored, because he ain’t stupid either.

Edit- it was just a misdemeanor, unless he hurt someone while driving. So it would have been a max of 93 days and/or max of 500 bucks. Almost certainly less than that- and at least here, it’s a “pay this standard fine or you can go to jail.” (I’m not in Michigan, mind,)

Texas got hit with power outages again, caused by entirely predictable storms affecting outdated and shitty infrastructure. TX dems should adopt “let’s keep the lights on” as a slogan.

Time to insist on the cult of Dionysus getting a say.
