The unanimous verdict was the first popular vote he ever won

I’m so proud of him. He’s mostly a whiny, piss baby bitch, but today, he actually earned something.

"Observers note that earning these felony convictions fly in the face of Trump’s long documented history of never lifting a finger to do real work in his 77 years on this planet. Despite subsisting entirely on family wealth and business connections, having his reputation as a shrewd businessman created out of whole cloth by reality TV producers, and clinching the 2016 presidential election with massive help from Russian cyber operations, Trump has finally earned a criminal conviction entirely on his own."

Gold.

He earned the contempt of almost all of New York.

This is how he was given a golden opportunity to get in good with the Manhattan highrollers, and how he threw it away through his own stupidity, greed, and arrogance.
