Trump Found Guilty — Again

Disgraced former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts by a New York jury.

Trump has now been found guilty of 34 felonies of defamation, of rape, and of falsifying business records. He has lost trials in different courts, with different prosecutors, with different defense attorneys, and different jurors.

And he isn’t done. There are pending trials in Florida and Georgia, each of which could lead to more felonies and prison.

The only commonality of all his trials is him. Trump is the center of all his trials because he is the center of all his own crimes.

Trump blames everyone except himself. He blames the courts, judges, President Biden, and a host of men in women in government and private life who really don’t give two shits about him. He is the epitome of a privileged wealthy man not used to being held accountable and not called on his daily spewing of lies.

The jury saw through his lawyer’s lies and mediocre defense and rendered their verdict today before close of court.

Trump was found guilty of doing what everyone knew he did: paid off the national enquirer to hide stories about his affairs, had his team pay sex worker Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep her from talking about their sexcapades, and lie about where the money originated and what it was used for. The felony count, 34, was astounding in its scope, but necessary and by the book based on the charges and crimes.

Donald Trump is now a felon. He’s also a convicted rapist. And he’s the man who instigated and cheered on the January 6th attack on the Capitol as he and his cultists and ground troops tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

Donald Trump is the worst former president, the worst public citizen, and the worst provocateur in the nation. He is exhausting, disgusting, dishonorable, and a stain on the executive branch.

As a felon, Donald Trump can no longer vote, own a gun, he can’t get federal assistance, cannot serve in the armed forces, can’t serve on a jury, and will have to forfeit any professional license he has.

But perhaps the worst part about being a felon, at least for everyone else, is how difficult it is to find a job.

But Trump is running for the top job in the nation, and he is being backed by business executives and CEO’s who refuse to even interview much less hire a convicted felon.

“Felonies are okay for me, not for thee” they will be saying as they pump money into his campaign. I would ask every worker to ask their manager, HR, CEO if they will hire a felon to be president.

Trump will be sentenced July 11, and there’s no doubt that he will rage across the nation for the next month and a half to his dwindling crowds of cultists and his gullible media.

Voters have no need to give him an audience. Democrats are delivering for America and will continue to do so as November approaches. Donald will continue to distract and make money for the networks and cable news. But they don’t own voters and they don’t own Congress, the Senate, and down ballot races — voters do.

It is important for democratic candidates and voters to recognize we didn’t “win” anything.

Donald Trump being convicted doesn’t stop the Supreme Court from rolling back rights or from giving their billionaire donors favorable rulings.

His conviction doesn’t end wars, does not help the economy, clean the air, fix our infrastructure, expand electric vehicles, strengthen international relationships, or return autonomy to women and girls over their bodies.

The only way the country moves forward while also addressing key issues that everyone has an interest in improving and resolving, is by voting.

It is up to the President, Vice President, and democrats to stay focused on the election, to push the real issues that matter to most Americans, and to keep fighting for air time on the media who are consumed by all things Trump.

It is a wonderful thing Trump was again found guilty. It will be a better thing for democrats to retain the White House, win the House, and take over the Senate.
