        And was banned from running charities ( in NY) due to a fraudulent cancer charity, sued for a fraudulent University (never saw how that turned out), and was convicted of property tax fraud(being appealed i think).

        He has been convicted of a felony (34 times) by a jury of his peers. He is a convicted felon.

        Are you sure about that? I’m not a lawyer, but my understanding is that he is now a convicted felon, just not a sentenced one.

        Dumbass here. Legally, he is a convicted felon regardless of sentencing, It’s a bullshit hair to split, but if were going to be rejoincing his legal status, let’s make that every fucking day baby!

    Meh, the Access Hollywood tape came up before the election and woman had no problem voting for him then. I don’t think this will have much impact with anyone who hasn’t already made their mind up.

    But I also thought he wasn’t going to be found guilty today so fingers crossed.

      His racism led to policies that harmed or killed or upended the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on the basis of their race, across multiple racial groups. I really don’t care whether he said the N word, and I don’t know how anyone could imagine he didn’t.

      Saying the N-word only improves all Repubs’ opinions of him. The rape they either deny happened, or “she deserved it,” or some of them even approve of it.

        “But the republicans freed the slaves.” The brain roth kills me. Seeing people praise this man with his history also turned me against religious groups. Same thought process and beliefs.

        The blinders need to be pulled off that belief that system as well. Read the scripts of most religion and there is a handful groups that are targeted. Women are one of the most impacted groups.

    If a recording of it comes out, it won’t be his undoing, it will be license for the people who like him to join him in saying it.

        Even that, justified as it is, will just fuel their propaganda-driven fear addiction. “Cishet white Christians are being punched out for no reason!”
