      You forget that his conviction is unjust. He is being persecuted. However the in the entirety of criminal convictions he stands alone. Everyone else is clearly guilty because who would persecute anybody because of their race, or their beliefs, or because they look like someone else. That’s just crazy talk. /s

        The law, for conservatives, is only held against their enemies.

        “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      The newspaper didn’t realize it, but they did Trump a favor. He doesn’t need to be consistent. To those who plan on breaking the law, hypocrisy is a virtue, because it signals to their allies that laws only apply to other people.

      This so fucking much. I’m tired of seeing his stupid orange face and clown hair and hearing whatever his mouth vomits as his brain obviously disintegrates on camera.

    Ms. Leavitt, why don’t you go pay NY Judge Merchan a visit, and tell him that?

    Here again is just bad reporting in a way that favors Trump. The headline should be pointing out that he’s a convicted felon, and that he’s hypocritical, and that he doesn’t care what his staff say. And if that’s not in the headline, it should certainly be in the first two sentences. Instead, the newspaper is expecting us to infer it based on the information they provide. That’s basic bad journalism.
