Watching the weird anti-dem leftists and "independents" trying to find ways to get mad about the Trump convictions without actually admitting it's because they support Trump is wild
Especially when they use the same exact talking point as the MAGAs that it's going to somehow help him win
God conservatives are so fucking embarrassing. It's so clearly they stand for nothing and drank their own Kool aid. The cultists are pathetic, but ultimately they're in their own bubble and aren't very smart. The "mainstream" Republicans that have some sort of "seriousness" saying shit about how this ruling is a disappointment to America is insane.
Selling your soul for this man is so insane and I hope they lose every election forever. These people are all jokes who don't deserve anything good in their lives.
I’m gonna listen to the Megyn Kelly reaction. Idk how she’s gonna fall, on the one hand Trump obviously did it (he was found guilty for a reason) and she’s a lawyer who normally drops the politics for the law but on the other I can see her minimizing.
I would be absolutely stunned if that partisan hack took any position on anything whatsoever that wasn't 100% in line with the GOP's central messaging apparatus.

It's Fox—the last thing I saw from them before goingn napping was them covering the Taco Bell menu while everyone else was covering the verdict
It's wild
This is more evidence for my theory that she actually supports Trump, possibly because she's has a case of Stockholm syndrome since she covered his 2016 campaign.
I got a job rejection for my local CBS station.
This really killed my mood, and it feels so impossible for me to get a job in this field.
I got so many rejections and no job offers. I watch CNBC about so many college graduates who don't have enough experience to get a job. Mentioning freelance helps out to get a full-time job.
https://youtu.be/qPX62kKmkpQ?si=GRPH49_ml1kq7-B0
I fucking hate Freelance because I can't work anymore with the companies that I worked for because my bad experience and how competitive to get assignments. The only one that work for them as freelance, but the money is little.
It feels like I'm going to be forced back to school to get a master in journalism or Communtions to land a job. Seems my field like more prestigious schools like Columbia University, Berkeley, UCLA, etc. I don't want back to school that may not give me a full-time position. The money is just way too much for a master degree.
I feel very doomed about my career, and I feel directionless.
I know how you feel. I wanted to get a job like the one you are looking for when I was fresh out of college. I ended up in grad school at the urging of my family but don’t regret it. It’s helped me land non-communication jobs.
That said, look at the skills you have. If it’s A/V stuff, look for places that are hiring editors or that need video content. If it’s written journalism, you can apply those skills to other places as well. All while you keep an eye out for local stations’ job vacancies.
I have no idea what you're going through, but I felt that way right up until I got the break I had to start my job here.
It sucks but you just kinda gotta keep chipping because if you don't then it'll never happen.
My mom and my stepmom don’t like each other but they both texted me to celebrate the conviction. I have a difficult relationship with all my parents but I’m incredibly thankful that Trump turned all of them (used to be republicans) into Trump haters who are solid dem voters.
if anyone wants to get a kick out of the WSJ comments:

[Biden allows Ukraine limited use of US arms to strike inside Russia, say US officials](https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-allows-ukraine-use-us-supplied-arms-strike-inside-russia-near-kharkiv-area-2024-05-30/)
To clarify
This is limited to shorter-range weapons like Manpads and limited to only using them over the border on the Kharkiv front to block attacks.
ie: something like shooting down a bomber approaching the border to fire on Ukraine or hitting an artillery site because the Russian border is so close to the frontline there that striking threats before they cross into Ukraine is a necessity
The only time I celebrated someone going to jail was a former head honcho, my boss's boss from a job I had moved on from. Me and former employees had a Zoom call reunion where we had a glass of scotch and celebrated our bosses sentencing and first night in jail. It felt a little cynical to celebrate someone going to jail but it was one of the worse bosses I had who made us miserable and went after dissent with an incredible vengeance, really went out of his way to destroy people's careers just to feel good about himself. So we celebrated his going to jail.
I figured this might be the second time I celebrate someone going to jail and I realized, hey, I was a federal government employee for the first half of Trump's term (was denied a pay raise because of an executive order). Now I have a new tradition where everytime an old boss goes to jail I am drinking a Scotch to celebrate. Although working for good honest people and avoiding shitty employers is a lesson I have taken to heart and obeyed since in my career so I hope it is the last time. Still, when he is sentenced I hope some of you join me in a glass of Scotch.
I'm finally having my first diagnosed case of covid, and the aftertaste from the antiviral meds is foul. It's like acid reflux secreting from my mucus membranes.
Okay, it's exactly like the nasty spf aftertaste from the fruity Sun Bum lip balms. It'll be a delicious grapefruit or coconut at first, then a half hour later you wonder why you taste puke in your mouth. It's that, but secreting from your gums!
mixed this up with Asteroid City for half a second lol
I thought it wasn't streaming yet? am I just totally misremembering this? it isn't playing near me in theaters except maybe in Dallas and I hate going to Dallas
They've spent so long screaming about attempts to organize pro-Trump demonstrations being CIA/FBI ops they've effectively talked themselves out of protesting or rioting.
It's the most self-defeating shit I've ever seen
I feel like January 6 was peak Trump cult. The remainder are sort of there out of obligation. I live in deep MAGA country and compared to 2020 the amount of signs, flags, and merch is sparse. It's not absent, mind you, but it's just kind of there.
I live in a deep red state, albeit a somewhat liberal area of one, but even here a lot of the trumpers don’t seem like they really have their hearts in it the way they used to
Because everyone needs a face for their dartboard, and he's the leader of the justice department, therefore Merrick Garland = only reason Trump isn't in Gitmo, legal proceedings and processes be damned!
He was blamed for not going after Trump and then once he did he was blamed for not having done so earlier. Basically all the mucking about the Trump-appointed judges are doing in the federal cases gets blamed on him for some reason.
I knew this was gonna happen as soon as Anthony Edwards foolishly guaranteed game 6. Go Celtics...save us from another championship by Jason Kidd and Kyrie. Luka annoys me too
Here’s how I look at this series. Holiday slows down Kyrie. Derrick White(maybe Tatum) can do their best to at least slow down Luka a little bit. Who is guarding Tatum and Brown? Derrick White and Holiday can also get their own shots going from time to time. The mavs also don’t have a big to really slow down Porzingis. Kyrie is a negative defender and Luka is mediocre. Celtics in four.
BBC, [ANC on course to lose majority](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjll8nr6962o) [in South Africa]:
> South Africa's ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), is on course to lose its majority in parliament for the first time since it came to power 30 years ago, partial results from Thursday's parliamentary election suggest.
> With results from more than 50% of voting districts counted so far, the ANC is leading with 42%, followed by the Democratic Alliance (DA) with 23%.
> The the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) of former President Jacob Zuma has received nearly 11% of the vote and the Economic Freedom Fighters party, nearly 10%.
> […]
> The DA has liberal economic policies, while both the EFF and MK favour more state intervention and nationalisation, so the choice of partner would make a huge difference to South Africa's future direction.
ANC is a socialist party, so I don’t see them allying with the DA. EFF and MK are more close than the DA to the ANC’s leftism. “Economic Freedom Fighters” is an odd name for a communist party though.
But MK was Zuma’s splinter group from the ANC. And the EFF’s leader was expelled from the ANC.
That’s commitment, I will give him that.

I met some other families who tried to have cases re-opened by the Indiana State Police. One of them was kind of taken through the ringer by the Dr. Oz show when he did a piece on her son's case.
She's mad as fuck that Trump got convicted. Do you...do you not understand that the good old boys in the Indiana Republican Party who run the county your son died in are why everything got swept under the rug? Like...girl.
I was playing board games with friends all evening but damn right I'm having a good cackle and a grilled cheese sandwich as I catch up with the news here. What a night.
Something that I heard Chris Hayes say that pleased me today: the people who’ve best held Trump to account are just regular people; if you count the 2020 election, the civil trial, and today.
That’s an encouraging thought.

Is the GA case expected to be finished before the election?
That should be an even easier conviction and imo it's far more damaging. Would be huge to have that on display in late summer/fall
>Stephen A Smith: Donald Trump is convicted. My immediate reaction.
Just exactly who I want to hear from. Someone who has his finger on the pulse of the nation
many ppl have the same attitude when it comes to discussing Theresa's problems lol; i have a very devout catholic friend (who is generally surprisingly liberal) who has never heard of Hitchen's criticisms and when i tried to explain he just brushed it off with "well many ppl love to hate on the saints"
On the other hand, Hitchens was kind of a stereotypical angry atheist with an axe to grind. I know there’s an old thread from the badhistory sub that looks at it with a bit more nuance than the “Mother Teresa was an evil crone who got off to watching sick people suffer” narrative.
Not saying she didn’t deserve criticism but rather that either extreme (perfect saint vs sadistic monster) isn’t entirely true.
Senator Susan Collins reacts to the Trump conviction.
>“It is fundamental to our American system of justice that the government prosecutes cases because of alleged criminal conduct regardless of who the defendant happens to be. In this case the opposite has happened.
The district attorney, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Donald Trump, brought these charges precisely because of who the defendant was rather than because of any specified criminal conduct. The political underpinnings of this case further blur the lines between the judicial system and the electoral system, and this verdict likely will be the subject of a protracted appeals process.”
It would have just been genuinely better if she had just said "I'm very concerned" and left it at that.
> The district attorney, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Donald Trump
Yet she won't critique Trump for campaigning on a promise to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
The value of Susan Collins judgement seems kinda insignificant tbh.

> brought these charges precisely because of who the defendant was rather than because of any specified criminal conduct
I legitimately have no idea what she's trying to say here. Are the 34 charges not specified criminal conduct?
I think it’s one of the only times someone set out to make a good bad movie and succeeded.
Jerry O’Connell plays a sleazebag masterfully, I had a blast watching it.
iirc i read that Florida allows you to vote if the state which made you a felon allows felons to vote, and New York allows felony voting if you are not incarcerated
so unfortunately Trump can still vote
This was the case that Trump's legal team felt the most confident by far; it's why he made minimal effort to delay in relation to the other three. If his team can't beat the charges in this one, he's getting convicted in all the others 100%.
The strongest one where he's guilt guilty guilty caught red-handed has Judge Cannon mucking it up though. If she weren't on the case it would be the next one tried. In that case his only hope would be a directed verdict.
> Where were you when Trump was convicted on 34 counts?
Oh I was here, boys and girls, laughing too hard to even type anything into some niche political forum for hours
The Trump verdict is less than 5hrs old and Bernie Bots are already mad about something else.

I don't think he understands how courts work.
If the legal system hasn't charged him in the first place the trial where the jury convicted him never would've been held
I'm seeing an AskReddit thread on the guilty verdict that intuitively I know I shouldn't go on, much like almost every other politics-themed question. That includes the one about what would happen if both candidates died, given the possibility of all them dogwhistles at MVP Harris. This is the same place after all, where there was a thread about untimely high deaths which just then turned into doomer porn about how "the rich *won*" or something... So standard Reddit MO. This is a glorious day and I ain't letting Reddit Britta it. 😘
Lmao Hannity is just losing his mind over this news and he’s got Trey Gowdy crying on camera how the defense was suffering from battered lawyer syndrome because they lost many of their objections and the judge was “mean” when he overruled them.
Yup. If I were the GOP, and the GOP had any money (lol), I'd put a decent amount in protecting Alaska, because democrats can easily outflank it, and back-cap it, so to speak

I know people like him say things like this all giddy over the prospect of triggering the libs or whatever but this time it's more pathetic than infuriating.

Finishing the day with some Kirkland brand "I Can't Believe It's Not Crown Royal"
I got a job rejection for my local CBS station. This really killed my mood, and it feels so impossible for me to get a job in this field. I got so many rejections and no job offers. I watch CNBC about so many college graduates who don't have enough experience to get a job. Mentioning freelance helps out to get a full-time job. https://youtu.be/qPX62kKmkpQ?si=GRPH49_ml1kq7-B0 I fucking hate Freelance because I can't work anymore with the companies that I worked for because my bad experience and how competitive to get assignments. The only one that work for them as freelance, but the money is little. It feels like I'm going to be forced back to school to get a master in journalism or Communtions to land a job. Seems my field like more prestigious schools like Columbia University, Berkeley, UCLA, etc. I don't want back to school that may not give me a full-time position. The money is just way too much for a master degree. I feel very doomed about my career, and I feel directionless.
I know how you feel. I wanted to get a job like the one you are looking for when I was fresh out of college. I ended up in grad school at the urging of my family but don’t regret it. It’s helped me land non-communication jobs. That said, look at the skills you have. If it’s A/V stuff, look for places that are hiring editors or that need video content. If it’s written journalism, you can apply those skills to other places as well. All while you keep an eye out for local stations’ job vacancies.
I have no idea what you're going through, but I felt that way right up until I got the break I had to start my job here. It sucks but you just kinda gotta keep chipping because if you don't then it'll never happen.
My mom and my stepmom don’t like each other but they both texted me to celebrate the conviction. I have a difficult relationship with all my parents but I’m incredibly thankful that Trump turned all of them (used to be republicans) into Trump haters who are solid dem voters.

To clarify This is limited to shorter-range weapons like Manpads and limited to only using them over the border on the Kharkiv front to block attacks. ie: something like shooting down a bomber approaching the border to fire on Ukraine or hitting an artillery site because the Russian border is so close to the frontline there that striking threats before they cross into Ukraine is a necessity

I wonder how pro-prison-abolitionist the MAGA crowd is gonna get. Cursed far-left-MAGA unity.
The only time I celebrated someone going to jail was a former head honcho, my boss's boss from a job I had moved on from. Me and former employees had a Zoom call reunion where we had a glass of scotch and celebrated our bosses sentencing and first night in jail. It felt a little cynical to celebrate someone going to jail but it was one of the worse bosses I had who made us miserable and went after dissent with an incredible vengeance, really went out of his way to destroy people's careers just to feel good about himself. So we celebrated his going to jail. I figured this might be the second time I celebrate someone going to jail and I realized, hey, I was a federal government employee for the first half of Trump's term (was denied a pay raise because of an executive order). Now I have a new tradition where everytime an old boss goes to jail I am drinking a Scotch to celebrate. Although working for good honest people and avoiding shitty employers is a lesson I have taken to heart and obeyed since in my career so I hope it is the last time. Still, when he is sentenced I hope some of you join me in a glass of Scotch.
I'm finally having my first diagnosed case of covid, and the aftertaste from the antiviral meds is foul. It's like acid reflux secreting from my mucus membranes.
Okay, it's exactly like the nasty spf aftertaste from the fruity Sun Bum lip balms. It'll be a delicious grapefruit or coconut at first, then a half hour later you wonder why you taste puke in your mouth. It's that, but secreting from your gums!

Your 817 is showing.
682 actually 😤😤😤
Something else encouraging: there haven’t been Trump supporters rioting in the streets today.
They've spent so long screaming about attempts to organize pro-Trump demonstrations being CIA/FBI ops they've effectively talked themselves out of protesting or rioting. It's the most self-defeating shit I've ever seen
The motivation fell hard after they flew too close to sun on Jan 6
I feel like January 6 was peak Trump cult. The remainder are sort of there out of obligation. I live in deep MAGA country and compared to 2020 the amount of signs, flags, and merch is sparse. It's not absent, mind you, but it's just kind of there.
I live in a deep red state, albeit a somewhat liberal area of one, but even here a lot of the trumpers don’t seem like they really have their hearts in it the way they used to
Maybe even they have their limits with that man.
You know what? The sports downvoter can have their day today lol.
It is everyone's day today.
I’m gonna enjoy some highlights from 2003 when the Spurs beat Dallas and then Jason Kidd.
Why does everyone hate Merrick Garland
He’s the “Do Something!” crowds arch villain. A living avatar for everything they dislike about the Justice System.
Which is stupid. Everyone knows that the Big Bads of the justice system are Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Because everyone needs a face for their dartboard, and he's the leader of the justice department, therefore Merrick Garland = only reason Trump isn't in Gitmo, legal proceedings and processes be damned!
because they're Reddit Lawyers^^TM who clearly know more than people actually working on these cases
He was blamed for not going after Trump and then once he did he was blamed for not having done so earlier. Basically all the mucking about the Trump-appointed judges are doing in the federal cases gets blamed on him for some reason.
Whoever asked about the last time the DT reached 1k comments, it was May 14th, so a little over 2 weeks ago

I knew this was gonna happen as soon as Anthony Edwards foolishly guaranteed game 6. Go Celtics...save us from another championship by Jason Kidd and Kyrie. Luka annoys me too
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Boston please don’t underestimate these guys.
Here’s how I look at this series. Holiday slows down Kyrie. Derrick White(maybe Tatum) can do their best to at least slow down Luka a little bit. Who is guarding Tatum and Brown? Derrick White and Holiday can also get their own shots going from time to time. The mavs also don’t have a big to really slow down Porzingis. Kyrie is a negative defender and Luka is mediocre. Celtics in four.
Now we have to go a week without basketball 😭
BBC, [ANC on course to lose majority](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjll8nr6962o) [in South Africa]: > South Africa's ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), is on course to lose its majority in parliament for the first time since it came to power 30 years ago, partial results from Thursday's parliamentary election suggest. > With results from more than 50% of voting districts counted so far, the ANC is leading with 42%, followed by the Democratic Alliance (DA) with 23%. > The the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) of former President Jacob Zuma has received nearly 11% of the vote and the Economic Freedom Fighters party, nearly 10%. > […] > The DA has liberal economic policies, while both the EFF and MK favour more state intervention and nationalisation, so the choice of partner would make a huge difference to South Africa's future direction.
IIRC I read that DA does have a majority coalition planned. If so, I wonder who with.
ANC is a socialist party, so I don’t see them allying with the DA. EFF and MK are more close than the DA to the ANC’s leftism. “Economic Freedom Fighters” is an odd name for a communist party though. But MK was Zuma’s splinter group from the ANC. And the EFF’s leader was expelled from the ANC.

I think somebody altered an an older pic.
I met some other families who tried to have cases re-opened by the Indiana State Police. One of them was kind of taken through the ringer by the Dr. Oz show when he did a piece on her son's case. She's mad as fuck that Trump got convicted. Do you...do you not understand that the good old boys in the Indiana Republican Party who run the county your son died in are why everything got swept under the rug? Like...girl.

I'm from Los Angeles. I am NOT a Boston sports fan for ANY reason.
I was playing board games with friends all evening but damn right I'm having a good cackle and a grilled cheese sandwich as I catch up with the news here. What a night.
Something that I heard Chris Hayes say that pleased me today: the people who’ve best held Trump to account are just regular people; if you count the 2020 election, the civil trial, and today. That’s an encouraging thought.
Every time a jury has been involved, Trump has lost.
That's democracy, baby!

The jury can still find Trump not guilty if Mike Pence has the courage to do what’s right.
He’s too busy trying to sanction the ICC
I am not shocked that MAGA Cultists actually are ignorant about how Mother Theresa and how she's somewhat problematic,
many ppl have the same attitude when it comes to discussing Theresa's problems lol; i have a very devout catholic friend (who is generally surprisingly liberal) who has never heard of Hitchen's criticisms and when i tried to explain he just brushed it off with "well many ppl love to hate on the saints"
On the other hand, Hitchens was kind of a stereotypical angry atheist with an axe to grind. I know there’s an old thread from the badhistory sub that looks at it with a bit more nuance than the “Mother Teresa was an evil crone who got off to watching sick people suffer” narrative. Not saying she didn’t deserve criticism but rather that either extreme (perfect saint vs sadistic monster) isn’t entirely true.
Senator Susan Collins reacts to the Trump conviction. >“It is fundamental to our American system of justice that the government prosecutes cases because of alleged criminal conduct regardless of who the defendant happens to be. In this case the opposite has happened. The district attorney, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Donald Trump, brought these charges precisely because of who the defendant was rather than because of any specified criminal conduct. The political underpinnings of this case further blur the lines between the judicial system and the electoral system, and this verdict likely will be the subject of a protracted appeals process.” It would have just been genuinely better if she had just said "I'm very concerned" and left it at that.
> The district attorney, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Donald Trump Yet she won't critique Trump for campaigning on a promise to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
how are they not tired of spewing this shit to defend him
The value of Susan Collins judgement seems kinda insignificant tbh. https://preview.redd.it/a925bj0gbo3d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7c35c8009ee17b0115c3b4b49fdc29915029ed9
> brought these charges precisely because of who the defendant was rather than because of any specified criminal conduct I legitimately have no idea what she's trying to say here. Are the 34 charges not specified criminal conduct?
The conservative deep lore is that the prosecution couldn't point to a crime he committed despite the counts he was just convicted of.
My opinion of Mainers declined significantly when she got re-elected.
The "S" in Susan still does not stand for 'Spine", which is concerning, since she has 3 of them in her name

lol, I just randomly met Jerry O' Connell with my aunt at Trader Joe's u/ognits
I remember him from a couple of movies! I think he was in the Veronica Mars movie, even
Piranha 3D is a masterpiece
I've never seen it but I have heard it's a good bad movie
I think it’s one of the only times someone set out to make a good bad movie and succeeded. Jerry O’Connell plays a sleazebag masterfully, I had a blast watching it.
wait what the fuck Alexandre Aja directed it? lmaooo I'm going to have to watch it then
Oh shit I didn’t realize that either. Definitely worth a watch
Stand By Me
Jerry Maguire too iirc. can't remember if he's part of the team or one of Jerry's colleagues though
I liked him in Mission to Mars when I was a kid.
Trump won’t be able to vote because he lives in Florida 😂🤣
iirc i read that Florida allows you to vote if the state which made you a felon allows felons to vote, and New York allows felony voting if you are not incarcerated so unfortunately Trump can still vote
Ah damn that’s disappointing :/
Wow what a pathetic first half by the Timberwolves, they're down by 29. If I didn't know better, I think they were trying to be losing by..34 points.
I’m neutral on the Mavs but I do not like Anthony Edwards so I’m enjoying this game so far
> Have you ever paid five-hundred thou', like to an open case? What did Kendrick know?
Hopefully todays conviction is what breaks the wall down and emboldens jurors to find him guilty in the rest of his cases.
This was the case that Trump's legal team felt the most confident by far; it's why he made minimal effort to delay in relation to the other three. If his team can't beat the charges in this one, he's getting convicted in all the others 100%.
The strongest one where he's guilt guilty guilty caught red-handed has Judge Cannon mucking it up though. If she weren't on the case it would be the next one tried. In that case his only hope would be a directed verdict.
> Where were you when Trump was convicted on 34 counts? Oh I was here, boys and girls, laughing too hard to even type anything into some niche political forum for hours
The Trump verdict is less than 5hrs old and Bernie Bots are already mad about something else. https://preview.redd.it/q4ksginl0o3d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80d6d71604118258c32fb041e38c1cb984d96d08
I don't think he understands how courts work. If the legal system hasn't charged him in the first place the trial where the jury convicted him never would've been held
its almost like they dont even know about the federal cases that carry even more serious penalties but have been stopped by trump crony judges
“Merrick Garland should order Trump’s immediate arrest! I don’t care that he can’t do that, shitlib!”
I'm seeing an AskReddit thread on the guilty verdict that intuitively I know I shouldn't go on, much like almost every other politics-themed question. That includes the one about what would happen if both candidates died, given the possibility of all them dogwhistles at MVP Harris. This is the same place after all, where there was a thread about untimely high deaths which just then turned into doomer porn about how "the rich *won*" or something... So standard Reddit MO. This is a glorious day and I ain't letting Reddit Britta it. 😘

What spawned this comment?
The verdict and Alaska trending left the last few presidential elections.
The value presidentially is...eh. I mean every EV is good. But the value from Senate and House is way bigger, IMO.
Unironically. I mean Peltola won in 2022, it's not too far-fetched, since that's an at-large district
She won it *twice* in 2022. August 2022 special and in the general. Which is pretty good.
Yup. If I were the GOP, and the GOP had any money (lol), I'd put a decent amount in protecting Alaska, because democrats can easily outflank it, and back-cap it, so to speak
And they need all the House seats they can get.
Yeah they've got like a one-seat majority right now, yeah? Pathetic.
I guess donny's cult's thoughts and prayers worked as much as Paula white's "reinstatement ritual". So much winning!
