Trump is Convicted:  What Comes Next?

 

This morning, many of us are emerging from the late coverage last night after the conviction of former President Donald Trump on 34 felonies.  I was in the courtroom for the verdict, which hit like a thunderclap (particularly after a strange snafu with the judge).  The question that everyone is asking: what happens next?  [...]

Trump Reminds Media He Prefers The Term 'Justice-Impacted Individual'

 

U.S. — In the hours after being convicted on 34 counts of something or other, Trump issued a reminder to the media that the proper term to describe him is "justice-impacted individual."

The term, commonly used by Democrats and journalists to describe convicted felons, now describes a 2024 presidential candidate, giving Americans an exciting opportunity to vote for someone unfairly targeted by the U.S. justice system.  [...]

Of Course They'll Put Trump in Jail

 

Why wouldn't Judge Juan Merchan finish the job and add to the left's glee in calling Donald Trump a "convicted felon" by sentencing him to jail?  That fact that Trump's sentencing is on July 11, mere days before the Republican National Convention, would not impede a judge who, according to Trump attorney Alina Habba, covered his mouth to laugh during his sentencing.  It would be no impediment to the hand-picked jurist who allowed prosecutors to hide the underlying "crime" for the entire trial, hide witnesses, and overrule the majority of the defense objections in this goat rodeo.

 

What would stop him from jailing Trump?  [...]

Interesting YT video by Judge Joe Brown regarding the case.  He stated "I have not been this angry at anything in a long time".   Caution:  Offensive language.

In the Trump RICO Case, the Georgia Court of Appeals Spanks the Fani

 

Regular readers know that in the Georgia RICO case, Trump's lawyers mounted a challenge to Fani Willis (and her staff) serving as the attorneys in this case, but the court only disqualified her boytoy romantic partner, Nathan Wade.

 

(For the record, we are always going to pronounce it as 'fanny' because it makes us giggle.  If her mother didn't want it pronounced that way, she should have spelled her name differently, such as 'Fauni.'  Or Fani could have just used her middle name (Taifa), like most lawyers who hate their first names.)

In response to the judge's ruling allowing this Fani to continue to butt into the case, Trump's team filed an interlocutory appeal.  We explained this procedure before in the context of Trump's D.C. case, so we will quote ourselves now:  [...]

Since the Biden Administration has fully embraced the entire DEI farce, I will post this here.  I do love the headline.

 

Didn’t Earn It

 

So perhaps a jeering minority will rid us of today’s most egregiously indefensible phrase: “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” It’s a textbook example of doublespeak, the term inspired by Orwell’s 1984 dystopia in which the Newspeak language enables citizens to engage in “doublethink”—simultaneously holding two contradictory beliefs. The words in DEI sound like admirable goals, but the officials mouthing them are working to do just the opposite, as Florida governor Ron DeSantis observed when he banned DEI initiatives at public universities. What DEI really stands for, DeSantis said, is “Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination.”

 

That formulation hasn’t caught on, but another one has: “Didn’t Earn It.” It went viral this spring after Ian Miles Cheong, a conservative journalist, and Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist, tweeted it to their 2 million followers on X. Adams, who had fearlessly predicted in 2015—six months before the first Republican primary—that Donald Trump would be elected president because of his skill as a “master persuader,” tweeted another forecast: “Whoever came up with ‘Didn’t Earn It’ as the description of DEI might have saved the world. Normally, the clever alternative names people use to mock the other side’s policy are nothing but grin-worthy. This one could collapse the whole racist system. It’s that strong.”

 

Sure enough, “Didn’t Earn It” has become an Internet meme, a buzz phrase on social media, and a conservative talking point on cable television, radio, and podcasts. It appears in posts linking to Kamala Harris, the plagiarism accusations against DEI officers at Harvard and MIT, the 50 percent failure rate on tests of medical students at UCLA, and the sentencing of a DEI executive for stealing $5 million during her work at Facebook and Nike. In the surest sign of its success, “Didn’t Earn It” has been solemnly denounced by DEI executives, progressive pundits, and the left-wing watchdogs at Media Matters, which was so alarmed that it published a report documenting the phrase’s popularity and—inevitably—labeling it “racist.”

CNN Analyst:  Let's Face It -- Fani's Case Is Dead

Will injustice delayed become injustice denied?  Fani Willis and Donald Trump will eventually find out.

 

This week, the appellate court in Georgia agreed to hear the defense objection to the ruling that denied their disqualification motion against Willis.  Notably, the court later also froze all action in the case [...]
