I have a couple of mini-bottles in my fridge somewhere. Ok that will do.

I thought the Liberty Bell was appropriate.

Reporting from inside the courthouse

Alvin L. Bragg has become the first prosecutor ever to convict a former president. The prosecution's trial team is packing up its bags, evincing no visible emotion, really.

Professional all the way.

But wait till they get behind closed doors.

Trump should be happy. 12 New Yorkers voted in the affirmative with his name on the ballot 34 times each today.

They bagged the biggest whale ever. Bigger than Gotti or Capone--both comparable to Felon Trump.

Celebrating with champagne from Costa Rica.!!!!!!

Drinking too fast, maybe I should say swilling, I guess is the reason for my double post

Over for work in Puerto Rico right now and, I jest not, as the last verdict was read, the sky darkened and the rain heaved down, looks like even God was pissing themselves with laughter

It's OK. Drink up!!! I'm drinking too!!

Off topic but Chad Daybell was convicted on all charges today also.

DA Bragg making comments soon says MSNBC. Also, they've got Cohen coming up, 8PM Eastern.

Andrew Weisman discussed a bit how the lack of remorse and comments like he made today may not go well on sentencing day.

As a convicted felon, he can't possess a firearm, including constructively possess. Guess his Secret Service detail will have to disarm.

Today is a good day for America.

And I anticipate political violence in the next few days, but still ...

He tried to delegitimize the court system of this great nation, and he failed, and he is a different person today, a convicted felon.

I picked up some yesterday (well, sparkling wine) for whenever/if ever my house sells. I think I'll crack it open tonight.

From what I understand, in comparable cases (even felony ones), the sentence is usually a fine and probation.

But this case (read: the defendant) is unusual. I would not be surprised if there was some modest jail time added.

I also would not be surprised by "just" a fine and probation.

As a savvy friend who's a lawyer just remarked, "Can you imagine how Trump would likely behave towards a probation supervisor?"

Jim Wright pointed out

Trump the Felon cannot vote in Florida

Bragg is speaking. Thanking the jury. And everyone involved. So far.

90 years of public integrity work.

Phenomenal prosecution team, model public servants.

Unanimous conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt.

Followed the facts and the law without fear or favor. <== repeated this phrase multiple times

Some more thanks, cops and courthouse personnel.

Taking questions.

Up first? Are you asking for prison? Non-answer given.

Lots of thanks, enormous gratitude.

From latest money beg.

Yes!!!! Good to see! I am against the death penalty as a rule, but this sucker deserves it!
