The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And Bragg, and all the lawyers in his office, are current state prosecutors. And Marchan is a current state criminal court judge. I think they understand the law just fine, too. Again, this is not about credentials, but the strength of the arguments.

They're also partisan democrats who twisted the law towards their own ends, to get the verdict they wanted.

We're not going to agree here. The facts show us that

*There was no FECA violation
*There was no illicit campaign payment, so there was no falsification of campaign finance forms, no hiding of anything
*The Daniels payoff is perfectly legal, and even Cohen testified that it was for another purpose
*The judge refused the defense access to witnesses to explain FECA to the jury
*The judge didn't define how the law was to be applied to the jury
*The judge allowed the jury to basically "pick something" (that the state didn't prove) to be the thing to convict Trump over.

You can ask about accounting issues - and that's fine - but the MOST you'll get from that is a reprimand. There's no 34 felonies here. There's no case here at all...if there were, federal prosecutors would have brought it a long time ago.

But they didn't. Bragg concocted a way to invent a series of felony charges just to Get the Bad Orange Man so the democrats and their robots online can say "Convicted Felon Donald Trump".

Again, something was broken in the heart of the United States yesterday. Don't underestimate what the d's have done.
