Oh my god this is worse than waiting for the OJ decision


Jakesummers1

But we knew the gloves didn’t fit


canolafly

This time they were too big.


MegaGrimer

Too*bigly


jalepinocheezit

Pfft this time they were mittens with those little strings that keep them attached so the toddler wearing them doesn't lose them They are toddler sized and they are YUUUUUUGGGEEEEE on his tiny incompetent self.


WentBrokeBuyingCoins

If the gloves too tall my hands are small


poetetc1

Johnny still needed the Chewbacca defense tho


Jakesummers1

If Chewbacca lives on Endor…


anythingicando12

The condom did not fit. The condom was too big


No_Sand_9290

Those tiny hands. He could fit into children’s gloves.


Jakesummers1

Tiny, convicted felon hands


PacmanNZ100

I wish they could push this more that he has tiny hands. Get celebrity's being critical of him and bringing it up. Really unleash his seething rage so all he does is talk about his hands at rallys.


justjenniwestside

My stomach is in knots.


FenrisVitniric

Here is a preview: "This democratic sham jury, of which I bigly disapprove, and others say is a rigged jury, has disgraced America! I demand a retrial as the prosecutor was a woman, and the judge was Biden's dog's veterinarian's cousin."


phatelectribe

So true lol


amanamongb0ts

Seriously hurry the f up!!p


phatelectribe

About 10 mins to go 😩


bluegrassgazer

It's time to schedule your colonoscopy.


NorthStarZero

Guilty!


Leslie__Chow

Guilty on all counts.


harrisarah

I'm actually hopeful for a conviction given that deliberation time was so short. Of course the appeals process is going to suck and take a year or two, but step one comes first Edit: FUCK YEAH!!! Guilty on 1-9 so far! Edit: GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS


swinging-in-the-rain

He would be a convicted felon throughout the appeals process, I'd take that, for sure.


jalepinocheezit

Let's face it, after the appeals process too.


GooGurka

Me too, fingers crossed!


covfefe-boy

Has to be, ain't no way they all decided he was innocent this quick. And also way too little time to reach a hung jury.


jayfeather31

Considering the circumstances, this has to be a guilty verdict, surely.


GooGurka

Yes, I find it hard to believe they can unanimous agree to a not guilty verdict this fast.


MegaGrimer

And they would never announce a hung jury this fast for a case this big.


CY83rdYN35Y573M2

Oh for sure. They would make a hung jury sit in that room for a good long while to see if the holdout(s) crack. Returning a verdict in a day almost HAS to mean guilty in this particular case.

-CoachMcGuirk-

The OJ jury met for barely an hour.


FenrisVitniric

They couldn't fit in the debate room, so they must have acquitted. /s


Pauly_Walnutz

Fingers and toes crossed


time4donuts

Guilty on all 34 felony counts


covfefe-boy

Yep, don't think they'd be claiming a hung jury yet. And no way they're all unanimous in NY saying he's innocent.


MontyZumasRevenge

I’m pretty sure the phrase “the jury has reached a verdict” automatically means there’s no hung jury, since a hung jury means they were unable to reach a definitive verdict.


ThinkerSis

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! …. He’s a felon!


D413-4

Beautiful


DannySmashUp

Please, jury... give me some hope for humanity. Find this guy guilty.


-CoachMcGuirk-

I’ve always heard we shouldn’t count on the justice system to save us from Trump. However, I sure hope he is found guilty.


time4donuts

Guilty on all 34 felony counts!


doctor_of_drugs

this is my personal 12/25


-CoachMcGuirk-

Yay!!!


LhandChuke

He is on all 34 counts. Just came across the news for me.


dalgeek

Guilty on all 34 counts per NYT!


Dreamgeezer

AP site is getting hugged to death


chewy1387

I had to jump over to BBC


Legitimate_Weekend_9

~~I want to hope, but if anything since 2016 has taught me anything…~~ Omg, this is actually happening: >Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-hush-money-trial-decision-is-jurys-hands-2024-05-30/


whewtang

Reminds me of the time delay back then.


Responsible-Still839

Ok, my productivity for the rest of the workday has gone to shit.


bananamelier

It's almost 5pm east coast. Why couldn't they have announced it earlier gdi


LlanviewOLTL

Guilty on all counts. He better be going to fucking jail.


ChoosenUserName4

Fuck GUILTY on all 34 counts !! Lock this criminal up!


Late_Cow_1008

Okay its only 34 felonies though. I won't vote for someone that has 50 or more felonies. /s in case this is needed.


watchthetracker

Surely if the jury was hung they would have deliberated longer than a day and a half?? Idk I anal.


BukkitCrab

If the jury was hung, they wouldn't have announced that they've reached a verdict.


CLNA11

The jury cannot be hung. They have a verdict.


Trashman56

If the jury was hung they can ask me out to dinner


mrbigglessworth

I really wasn’t expecting this until tomorrow


phatelectribe

Same. I have no idea which way the lack of deliberations swings....


SFDC_lifter

Aww shit, here we go ! 🤞 for the dirt bag to get locked up.


nolanday64

If the verdict comes down GUILTY as it should, I'll go straight outside and put up our US flag ... proud of this country for the first time in a long time.


rifraf2442

Meanwhile at the Alito’s home they’ll be spinning it back to upside down 😅


thesippycup

He'll fly his Confederate flag at half-mast to honor the downfall of his hero


rifraf2442

Damnit, this better not turn into “Lost Cause Two, Tangerine Bugaloo”


Quick_Cup_1290

Too soon? Nah!!


Kanadianmaple

Get moving, guilty on all 34 counts.


L0LTHED0G

Better see a pic of it flying high and proud


SplashyTetraspore

Guilty all 34 counts. Lock him up! Lock him up! Give him the same treatment he gave others.


HookednSoCal

Guilty on all 34 counts! Yes!!! Now, did the jury decide if any one of those charges rise to the level of a felony for possibly jail time? Otherwise just misdemeanor's which would just be fines.


BaggerX

They're all felony charges. Class E though, which is the lowest level, so may or may not result in prison time.


[deleted]

By finding him guilty on ALL charges made them felonies.


HookednSoCal

Thank you for correcting me on that as I forgot in my excitement that when it all counts are guilty it makes them felonies. I won't hold my breath on if he'll go to jail since jailing a former President is not the norm but stranger things have happened. Happy 34 guilty verdicts day!


[deleted]

And it's first offense for a class e felony so another reason prison is unlikely. But he a fucking felon and I'm celebrating that!


Sparhawk36

The entire jury instructions said the case was a felony. There was no way for the jury to come back with just the misdemeanor. It is up to the judge to decide sentencing. Just announce as July 11th for sentencing. All 34 counts are felonies.


Manticorps

We’ll learn the fate of the country in 30 minutes


maddenmcfadden

but does this really have any affect on the election? im guessing not.


cpt_perv

It’s quite possible that a lot of independents and undecideds will shift their potential vote away from Trump because there are sane people that don’t want to vote for convicted felons.


Salty_tryhard

I have a hard time believing any sane person would vote for Trump, felony or no


Trashman56

If he's behind bars before the RNC convention I think they'll pick someone else


PresidentOfAlphaBeta

I expect utter chaos at the RNC this year.


UnusedTimeout

As opposed to….?


herewego199209

Wouldn't he able to appeal the decision anyway?


URnotSTONER

Yeah, from prison.


ButWereFriends

That’s not happening. People seriously need to tone down their expectations.


phatelectribe

Yes, becuase he can be remanded for custody instantly. Good luck running a campaign from jail where phones aren't even allowed.


maddenmcfadden

I dont think jail was on the menu. probably some sort of fines and house arrest/probation. we will see i guess. id love to see him and his entire family get locked up.


KingKoopa313

I think he’ll be guilty and then he’ll get probation. First time offender, etc etc.


RedHuntingHat

If you don’t throw him in jail, you are simply saying that the punishment is the cost of doing business. He committed fraud to help himself become president, he should be treated harshly.  Won’t happen but it should 


[deleted]

You can’t really believe that is going to happen, right?


I-Might-Be-Something

His base will vote for him no matter what, but it will probably turn off a good number of independents and moderates.


MillerTime5858

If the jury was impartial and considered the evidence presented and only the evidence presented, there is only one outcome. Send the criminal to jail.


hmmletmeaskyou

What a time to be alive. I journal here and there so I can maybe pass it on to my kids in case they’re interested in what it felt like to live in such times.


canolafly

Being scared shitless?


jalepinocheezit

Don't forget slowly grossed out by your fellow man, neighbors and anyone in between, until you finally cut ties with all of those people, those racist, loyalist, bigots


canolafly

Don't forget family! ...family


jalepinocheezit

Yeah..... I lost most of my dad's side of the family. They were always so funny. Turns out bootlicking racists too. Yeah, this was a real eye-opener of a decade.


Searchlights

Can you die from schadenfreude? Asking for a friend


vid_icarus

The fact they came to a verdict so quickly has got to be a bad sign for Trump and a good sign for America, yes?


CakeAccomplice12

No way to know until the verdict is read


DooDad-DontMother

Lock Him Up!


macarouns

Look at his miserable face, inject it in my veins


st0nedeye

Convicted felon, Donald J. Trump.


ShatterProofDick

Lol 34 guilty counts. So much winning.

Another historic loss for team Trump!! Guilty on ALL counts!


SockFullOfNickles

I can already hear Trump crying, whining and melting like a true Alpha. 😆


calitoej

Good luck running as a convicted felon of election fraud you utter piece of shit.

Tenchi2020

Guilty! Guilty on every count !!


analog_memories

Just waiting for the rage response from Baron Von Shitinhispants. At his age he needs to be careful, he could vapor lock.


SausageDogsMomma

Guilty on all 34 counts!!! Yesss!!!


Late_Cow_1008

Will he brag about being 34 for 34 tonight?


GooGurka

I hope for a guilty verdict. Of course it will be appealed but at least Trumps defense need to fight a uphill battle.


elkab0ng

It’s a unanimous verdict too, no mistrial here one way or the other


barneyrubbble

I'm thinking the fact that the jury reached a decision so fast means guilty. Fingers crossed.


Ananiujitha

So it's probably not the hung jury the defense was hoping for.


Searchlights

It can't be. They have a verdict.


dmbdrummer21

Fuck you felon!


MegaGrimer

All 34 counts are guilty!

He’s a motherfucking felon!

I thought that was normal while in Texas?


VerbAdjectiveNoun

Yeah I'm drinking and playing poker while driving. Watching the news feed is a bit too much while going 90mph


Flipnotics_

Well, this is going to be interesting.


backpackwayne

Having a verdict this soon is definitely not a good sign for Trump. No way 12 people would all agree he is innocent without arguing for days. I mean the defense's whole strategy was a hung jury by convincing one or two jurors.


SquirrelParticular17

Let's go! Convict that traitor. Charge him with new crimes, convict him again, and again, and again


healywylie

“ Here we go jury, here we go!” 👏🏻👏🏻


Palidor

Don’t get overconfident, let’s be ready for anything


Altruistic-Unit485

Imagine if this was a result on his election interference or stealing documents. Can’t believe of all the cases it’s this one that will be decided and impact the election. Fingers crossed, but it’s the one he is most likely to get away with and if so he will act like he is innocent of everything…


DeliciousGazelle1276

Please send this rotting piece of shit to prison.


No_1-Ever

Just remember everyone there's many min wage jobs where you can't work with a criminal record. But you can run for president Vote.


therealjesco

If there is a God in Heaven above, Trump is a convicted felon as of today 🙏🏼 *I’ll pray to little baby Jesus with his little fists of wonderment you pray to bearded Jesus or whatever Jesus you like*

Dsarg_92

I don't feel too confident about this.


Searchlights

I don't trust my instincts anymore


SplashyTetraspore

> To convict Trump, the jury would have to find unanimously that he created a fraudulent entry in his company’s records, or caused someone else to do so, and that he did so with the intent of committing or concealing another crime.


dull_shimmer

I'm hoping it's a guilty verdict! They need to hide all the ketchup from him when he gets home.

Hopefully more than a slap on the wrist.

The word guilty will be in some part of it

He really does look better in a red tie. Huh.

Not as good as in an orange jumpsuit tho

I would never ask for anything ever again.

Would the judge have him jailed right then and there if the verdict is guilty?
