The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I need another AR, a dozen P-mags, a case of SS109 and a case of 7.62x39 FMJ.

Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Now, see, ... when the records say water got turned into wine or multitudes fed with very little food to begin with, one can reasonably suspect there may have been falsifications of business records.

Jesus was convicted for telling people to love their neighbors, to be forgiving, and to ask for forgiveness. He was convicted for suggesting that the Pharisees were misinterpreting the law. He was convicted for pronouncing that he was the messiah and salvation could be found through him.
Trump was convicted for paying an aging porn actress to sign an NDA for a sexual encounter that totally never happened, so as to not embarrass himself, his kids from his 3 different marriages, and his soft core porn model wife.
Totally the same thing.

So, the other interesting question is this.
Will Merchan restrict Trump's travel?
The appeal will take years (see Weinstein). So will Trump wear an ankle bracelet until it's done?
When Trump wins will he be restricted from overseas travel?

Misleading. His instructions make sense. He’s charged with falsifying business records to cover up a crime. He’s saying the jury doesn’t have to agree what the underlying crime was, as long as they believe he kniew about it and falsified records because of it. The jury does have to be unanimous that he falsified records with the motivation of covering up a crime.
(In fact, under the law, Trump doesn’t even have to be the one who committed the crime being covered up.)
By the way, John Roberts issued a correction to this tweet. He must read TNCR.

So, yes this was a political trial. But taking that away, and soley looking at the evidence and what the jury was told to rule on, do you guys think they made the correct decision?
My understanding is
President Trump had an affair with a porn actor
President Trump paid the porn actor to keep quiet about the affair
President Trump used his business funds to pay the porn actor
President Trump classified these "expenses" as something other than "keep quiet payments"
President Trump was charged with making false business statementsIs the above correct? If so, then I think that the jury was correct in finding him guilty. Again, they were not looking at if the laws were correct or if the trail was political or if the judge was bias, etc. They were presented with the law and asked if President Trump broke that law. Just like any other trial.
