Americans are increasingly repulsed by #TFG. As a #convictedfelon, more voters than previously reported are less likely to vote for him, according to the poll, no matter how much Republicans try to whitewash it.
A larger-than-expected% of Americans say TFG’s criminal conviction makes them less likely to vote for him. They found the issue very important. The poll finds it's weighing heavily on a key bloc of independents.

Shocker Poll: Trump Verdict Actually Does Matter to Voters—Big-Time
With a new Politico survey finding that independents take Trump’s conviction very seriously, the reporter who oversaw the poll takes us through what these surprising new numbers really mean.The New Republic
"One statement stands out in all this sound and furor: GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson’s call for SCOTUS to 'step in.'
The morning after the conviction, Johnson went on Fox & Friends to reassure Trump supporters that he has the ear of the justices."

"We are living through a massive and concerted attempt to delegitimize and discredit our democratic institutions, especially our elections and judiciary. Judges, prosecutors, and the courts are major targets, as they are wherever authoritarianism is trying to take hold."

A Fateful Time in Our Nation's History
We can feel grateful for democracy and free and fair trials, while feeling sad that a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist is on the ballot for presidentRuth Ben-Ghiat (Lucid)
"If she [Hillary Clinton] were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt."

"And here’s a fun fact: There are many countries that will not admit #felons across their borders. This includes, apparently, Canada. #Trump cannot even travel to many countries, including some of our closest allies, and yet he hopes to represent the #UnitedStates. The absurdity of this stuns."

The fallout from the jury verdict against Donald Trump begins.Jay Kuo (The Status Kuo)
More dangerous threats from 8 of #Felon's supporters who are pro-corruption, pro #J6, Republican Senators:
"The GOP threat here is to kill all bipartisan bills and ultimately shut down the government (including Social Security offices, national parks, etc.) unless Biden places Trump above the law in the state of New York, something he’d have no power to do even if he were so inclined."
-B Beutler
"Trump stared blankly ahead as the verdict was read. 'Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.'”

"There will be no such thing as an uninformed voter from this day forward. Everyone, with the possible exception of a cave explorer spelunking a thousand feet down at the bottom of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, will hear the news that a jury of 12 citizens of New York City found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in order to conceal a sexual liaison with Stormy Daniels."

"ACCOUNTABILITY FOR TRUMP’S MISDEEDS is all the more important given that the U.S. Supreme Court, with its right-wing majority, is AWOL from its most basic tasks: seeking equal justice under law and winning public trust in a prudent and steady system of rules not subject to radical revision based on the whims of recent appointees."
