Rich people like the Tesla baby keep saying "if it can happen to Trump, it can happen to you." What they really mean is it can happen to them. The rest of us knew it could happen to us long before Trump got indicted. They are just scared now.
People insist on saying Trump is facing 4 years per count. They are being unrealistic, misleading, or dramatic. I worked in the same state jurisdiction and assisted in the prosecution of the same crimes for which Donald Trump was found guilty. I have been right on nearly every prediction so far. Here is an insider's view on the charges, the trial, and the potential sentence. #Trumphttps://robertvanwey.substack.com/p/explaining-the-felony-conviction
When "the History of the USA" is written a few generations from now (assuming the world is still habitable enough for such things), the collapse of the so-called 'American Empire' is going to be attributed not to largess and overreach, but to stupidity and illiteracy personified in Donald Trump. What a headstone that will be.
I just saw a New Yorker article claiming this election is the year to "save the planet." This framing, however, seems to fail to resonate. Climate change rhetoric needs an overhaul. The planet will do just fine. We won't. That's the message.
My friend Kami Rita Sherpa summitted Mt Everest for a record 29th time a couple days ago. Read about our first conversation here where he talks about what he does for a living and why. When he returns I will speak with him again about this latest accomplishment. https://robertvanwey.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-kami-rita-sherpa
For everyone salivating over what looks like a high chance of conviction of Trump. I worked *many Falsifying Business Record cases in the NY crim justice system, many of them felonies. None of them went to jail. Not. One. You think this judge will put the 10+ time gag-order violator in jail? He hasn't yet, despite MANY people going in for that. Prison sentence on FBR charges? Not a chance.
"Long before the day of the election, Trump supporters seemed keenly aware of his tenuous chances of victory in the upcoming election...At 2:21 am on November 4, Fox News correctly called Arizona for former VP Joe Biden. This was the proverbial nail in the Trump campaign’s coffin...With the loss now essentially final, Trump associates kicked their seditious conspiracy into motion...Here is the story of the attempted soft coup to overthrow the United States of America." https://medium.com/@evidencefiles/just-say-we-won-193d373eec6b
Why is anyone shocked at the state of politics in the USA where:
-uni-lingual people think multi-lingual people who speak Eng w/an accent are dumber than they are
-there are people who believe the Earth is flat
-less than a quarter can name even half the SCOTUS judges
-less than half know how a bill becomes a law
-people believe more guns will solve gun crimes
-people who complain about crime support a candidate facing 88 criminal charges
-people think weather and climate are the same thing
