I Would Not Have Made That Trade

Essentially, the Democrats turned the law into a prostitute in exchange for the ability to use the words "convicted felon" when referring to Donald Trump. That's about it. He might go to jail as well, but we'll see how that plays out.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk tweeted this.

Hard to view this as anything other than abuse of the law for political purposes

He quoted a tweet from another user that contained this text.

CNN Senior Legal Analyst Describes How The Trump Conviction Was A Political Hit Job

1. "The judge donated money... in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations—to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation."

2. Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, “It is a fact that I have sued Trump over 100 times.”

3. "Most importantly, the DA’s charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law and due process."

4. "The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever."

5. The DA inflated misdemeanors past the statute of limitations and "electroshocked them back to life" by alleging the falsification of business records was committed 'with intent to commit another crime.'

6. "Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were — and the judge declined to force them to pony up — until right before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him in advance of trial."

7. "In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else."

8. "The Manhattan DA’s employees reportedly have called this the “Zombie Case” because of various legal infirmities, including its bizarre charging mechanism. But it’s better characterized as the Frankenstein Case, cobbled together with ill-fitting parts into an ugly, awkward, but more-or-less functioning contraption that just might ultimately turn on its creator."

As of right now, here are the stats for the tweets.

The original tweet.

I don't think I would have made that trade. Those are monster numbers, blowing away the viewership of the Democrats' mouthpieces at CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, etc. I can't begin to imagine how much money you'd have to spend to get those kinds of numbers for political TV ads.

This is just one more data point showing that this is not an election in the normal sense, it's primal scream therapy for both sides.
