As I mentioned the Bellamy Brothers, 20 number one hits (yes, country).  I was disappointed they didn't do this one.

Sarah Matthew's on Twitter:

I have so many thoughts racing through my brain right now, but most of all, I’m praying for the safety of the judge, jurors, prosecution, witnesses, and their families.

Trump conviction heralds a somber and volatile moment in American history
by Stephen Collinson, CNN May 31, 2024
https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/31/politics/trump-conviction-heralds-a-somber-and-volatile-moment-in-american-history/index.html


"Among an electorate that Trump has constantly polarized, the verdict is likely to be greeted with fury by his supporters and jubilation by his critics. But in truth, this is a somber and even tragic passage of US history. Americans have never seen an ex-president convicted of a crime, and a country already torn apart by bitter political and cultural polarization is likely in for a rocky time.


The implications are enormous."

Indeed, the MAGA stochastic terrorism risk is high in the U.S. right now.

Judge Merchan, in particular, will need high security-- along with prosecutors like Fani Willis and Bragg.

We will be witnessing the rage of a massive, delusional cult comprised of right-wing lunatics with AK-47s.

Rupert Murdoch, Trump, the Federalist Society, and the 21st century Koch-funded GOP have created a monster.

Meanwhile, prosecution of Trump's most serious felonies-- J6 and the classified documents theft-- has been stonewalled by blatantly corrupt Republican judges on the SCOTUS, and in Fort Pierce, Florida.

It's also pathetic to observe the corruption and dishonesty of Republicans in office pandering to the Felonious Skunk.

Visibly Distressed Putin Pals Shaken Up by Trump Verdict

 
‘THEY WRONGED OUR DONALD’

Kremlin state TV propagandists couldn’t hide dismay over Trump’s conviction but they confirmed that Russia is still desperate for him to win back the White House.

 

Russian state-controlled media apparatus closely followed legal troubles of the former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, spicing up most of their coverage with pro-Trump clips from Fox News and Tucker Carlson. Russian propagandists were openly hoping for a hung jury and were visibly disappointed when Trump became a convicted felon on all 34 charges he was facing.

On Friday morning, Dmitry Kulikov, host of Solovyov Live, the self-described “most patriotic channel” in Russia, said on-air, “They wronged our Donald Trump!” Malek Dudakov, a political scientist who specializes in America, said that the hope for a miracle—meaning a hung jury—was extinguished. He said, with Russia’s affectionate middle name usage, “The miracle did not happen. Our Donald Fredovych was found guilty on all 34 counts.” For that, Dudakov blamed the judge and the jury and baselessly claimed that all of them were prejudiced against Trump. “Now, he is a felon,” he surmised, while also noting that the former president’s incarceration as a result of this conviction is unlikely.

Dudakov expressed hope that despite his legal troubles, Trump would still win in the upcoming presidential election. Kulikov and Dudakov jointly echoed Tucker Carlson’s assertions that their preferred candidate will prevail, “unless desperately panicked Democrats will organize an assassination of Donald Fredovych.” They expressed hope that Biden—not Trump—would die before the elections.

Similar reaction reverberated across Russian media outlets. Appearing on a state TV show 60 Minutes Friday morning, State Duma member Aleksei Zhuravlyov opted to discuss Trump’s conviction before addressing other bad news Russia is facing, with Western governments broadly signing off on Ukraine’s right to defend itself by striking Russia on its own turf. Zhuravlyov said he would address this “escalation” later and started with his rant against America for turning Trump into a felon.

 

Mischaracterizing the prosecution by describing it as “a lawsuit brought by Stormy Daniels,” host Olga Skabeeva chimed in and described Trump as “a former and potentially future U.S. president.” She surmised that the situation is too ridiculous for words and keeps escalating on every front. Skabeeva complained that earlier predictions of a hung jury did not come true, bitterly adding in perfect English, “dooky happens.”

Zhuravlyov angrily asserted, “There are idiots in every country, but this is the only instance where idiots have their own country. This is something new in history.” The state lawmaker complained that in supporting Ukraine’s right to defend itself by striking Russia’s territory, Americans are not even afraid of the retaliatory nuclear strikes by Russia. Skabeeva scornfully added, “Our universally beloved Donald Trump thinks they can sit it out across the pond.”

Even Trump’s alleged suggestion that he would have bombed Moscow in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and attack Beijing if China invaded Taiwan on his watch was not enough to dampen the support for the former U.S. president by his Russian cheerleaders. Describing Trump as Russia’s “useful idiot,” state TV propagandists repeatedly insisted that he remains Moscow’s preferred candidate.

Appearing on 60 Minutes, State Duma member Oleg Matveychev said that unless Trump’s conviction leads to civil war, America should be officially considered “a fascist country.” The same hope was expressed one night earlier by state TV host Vladimir Solovyov, who urged Republicans and Democrats to take up arms and violently confront each other. Solovyov also volunteered to host the upcoming debate between Trump and U.S. President Joe Biden.

During Thursday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, Dmitry Abzalov, Director of the Center for Strategic Communications, explained that Trump’s potential re-election would benefit Russia and assured the viewers that the former American president didn’t mean it when he said he would bomb Moscow. Abzalov predicted that if Trump returns to the Oval Office, he would treat China—not Russia—as America’s main enemy. Skabeeva surmised, “The Chinese are hoping that Americans will fight the Russians and want Biden to remain in power. We are secretly hoping that Americans will start to fight China and want Trump to come to power, because he is more predisposed to confront Beijing.”

Never forget- MAGA is a domestic terrorist group.

 

"On social media and web forums, users called for jurors, judges and prosecutors to be killed after the former president was found guilty on 34 felony counts."

This is deeply concerning stuff, IMO.

Trump has already incited mass murder in the U.S.-- e.g., the El Paso Walmart Massacre.

We shall see how many more MAGAs decide to spend time in prison for the criminal Orange Foolius.
