This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Trump's Manhattan criminal trial by Irisharab
As of today, the trial is supposed to start on March 25th. This is the trial that focuses on the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
Several months ago, I read that, even if Trump is found guilty, it's incredibly unlikely that he will face any jail time or house arrest. Far more likely that he will be given a six-figure fine and probation.
Suppose he is found guilty, but is not sentenced to any jail time. Will the fact that he is technically a convicted felon have any impact on likely Trump voters or the RNC? Or will they simply brush this felony conviction off?
