Looks as though Tropical Soulvangelical was wrong in that last base share where he predicted -trump- would face a mistrial. He forgot (both TSV and -trump-) that there were 34 counts to the indictment, so -trump- might have gotten 15 to 25 counts or so. TSV didn't think he'd get all 34, so unlike Michael Cohen who says he wasn't surprised, TSV -was- surprised, because he's used to people like Cosby and Johnny Depp getting a get-out-of-free-jail-card. He's also seen a judiciary go out of its way to make sure -trump's- never brought to trial in the documents case. So that being said, TSV joins in in saying that it's a good moment for the country, because of the concept of National Principle, helping teach our children about right and wrong. He sees it as self-serving of those political allies who -claim- to be for law and order and tough on crime to then turn around and say, well not when it's one of -us-, only when it's one of -them-. To that end, TSV's hoping for a similar verdict in the Menendez trial. But he really didn't think the situation with Robert DeNiro was helpful, so he gets to call him -Bob- DeNiro. He agrees a little bit with (possibly future con) Don Jr where Bob DeNiro is concerned, in questioning whether this is the same actor who in his role as Al Capone in The Untouchables said, "anybody messa with me, I messa with them." Apparently he's not a tough guy, but only plays one in the movies. TSV does share the same sentiment about the Hollywood Elite, and how their commentaries are not necessarily the same as the people's commentaries, because TSV is tropically conservative. As such, TSV thinks Bob DeNiro was only there on his own, and not necessarily "sent" by Biden, because that would not be a smart move. TSV doesn't know whether Judge Merchan instructed the jury to not pay attention to Bob DeNiro in their deliberations, so maybe that's an appeal point for -trump-. TSV agrees that this isn't necessarily going to move the needle in the elections, and that that's entirely appropriate. A court trial and an election are two separate things, using entirely different standards. You had a jury decide on a verdict based on overwhelming evidence in a trial. But where an election is concerned, TSV believes that swing voters will only vote for whomever saves them $2 on a jug of milk in an inflationary economy ("Biden's Fault"), even if that person's a criminal convict. TSV will probably find more stuff to unpack in coming days, if he remembers to talk about it.
