Comment on Trump guilty on all counts in New York criminal trial

Presumably because the modern conservative viewpoint only favors the rule of law being applied to poor minorities and leftists.

Rich people, and especially rich whote people,care supposed to be above the law.

So by the modern standard, upholding the rule of law over a rich whote person is actually not conservative.

I’m not sure what it is then though. Maybe “woke?”

As much as I agree with you, I still want to make a good faith attempt to hear their logic so I can say I tried.

I wouldnt call it woke, if I was more conspiracy inclined, maybe Russian style dictatorship.

Orange has positioned himself as the outsider and acts like this entire thing was a witch hunt. Convicting him didnt do much. Hell, come November, I’m still voting for the lesser of two evils, but Im not happy about it.

My bigger concern at this point is my state governer, mayor, and sheriff. Being real, they affect my day to day way than the president, and its not like the states give a shit about federal law anymore, with weed, 2a sanctuaries, illegal sanctuaries, that sort of thing.

  To your point about voting for the lesser of two evils and your other point about your bigger concern being the more local officials, where do you think they fall on the political spectrum, and does your vote align with their interests?

  Most mayors have very little power. Most of the time there is a city manager or a city council that has the power. In my town, a conservative mayor was elected, and the liberals were freaking out.
  
  The position is unpaid, volunteer and has no real power. It is people freaking out because they don’t understand the powers of a mayor.
