America! – “A Manhattan jury has found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. This verdict marks the first time in U.S. history that a president or ex-president has been convicted of a felony.
“The case against Trump stemmed from allegations that he participated in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election. Prosecutors accused Trump of orchestrating an unlawful plan to suppress negative information, which included concealing a hush money payment to an adult film star, Stormy Daniels, to influence the election outcome.”
I am word-less to comment because I cannot find words to explain. What a nation indeed. Good People, drink water – this is not a movie.

Donald Trump has been found guilty of all 34 felony counts in his hush money trial, making him the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. The presumptive 2024 Republican nominee is set to be sentenced on July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention begins. The case stemmed from a payment Trump made to the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Each felony count, per The New York Times, “carries the possibility of up to four years in prison.”
-
