What crime has Trump been convicted of?
PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 7 months ago
By conservative logic as applied to Democrats, merely asserting something makes it true. So Biden is guilty of “dereliction of duty” because he’s “ignoring” the border, of “treason” because of his unproved involvement in his son’s foreign business deals, or most relevantly, is guilty of commandeering classified documents despite not being charged for anything.
So, merely applying conservative logic to conservatives, which is only fair, would mean that Trump is a criminal given his eighty-eight indictments, many of which are federal charges.

Political charges. Notice how the Democrats keep failing in court against Trump. Their attempts to stop him from running have only made him more popular.
If Trump wins, it is because of the banana republic that the Democrats tried to create. Had they just ignored him, he wouldn’t have gained in popularity.

The charges against Biden are also political then. Notice how Republicans have failed to pin Joe Biden for the crimes of his son. That’s why those charges are political. They’re certainly not backed by evidence.
When Biden wins, you’ll see that Trump’s fascist movement (I use that term knowing what it means probably more deeply than you) will never simply wither away on the vine form neglect. It must be rhetorically confronted and humiliated at every chance.

He has a half billion dollar judgment against him for crimes he’s been convicted of.

Those are not crimes. Do you know what a crime is? A civil case is not a criminal case. None of those cases would have prevailed in a criminal court.

His actions were still illegal. Just because they chose to prosecute as civil, doesn’t mean he didn’t commit crimes.

Since you like wordplay, Trump said law and order yet he broke the law and was convicted of it. Civil laws are still laws.
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 7 months ago
You’re not convicted of civil actions. He is liable. It’s not a criminal offense. Have you ever had a parking ticket or a speeding ticket? Does that make you a criminal ? The answer is no. Those are both civil infractions. It isn’t word play. You’re just using the words incorrectly.

Right. We should use words correctly. Trump is a fraudster who obtained millions of dollars through false statements and false documents but not a criminal since the fraud he committed wasn’t criminal fraud. Much better. Just like a parking ticket even.

Just coming back to this. In addition to the multiple times his organizations have been found guilty for fraud, in addition to being found liable for rape, he has been convinced by a jury of his peers on 34 distinct felonies. He is a felon.
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 months ago
It is fair to call him a felon now.

Yes, but he has been a criminal for some time now
