“Trump as POTUS was sort of like a hamster in an attack helicopter
Sure, he wanted to bathe the world in blood & terror
But luckily, he didn't know what buttons to press & his brain’s the size of a peanut so that put some hard limits on the damage he was actually able to do”

The #IRS plans to end a major tax loophole for wealthy taxpayers that could raise more than $50 billion in revenue over the next decade, the U.S. Treasury Department says.
The guidance and ruling being announced Monday includes plans to essentially stop “partnership basis shifting" — a process by which a business or person can move assets among a series of related parties to avoid paying taxes.

It's a great story, but instead of spending my time telling you about it I'll suggest that you go to their website which will do a better job of it too.

‘Another juror found himself "agreeing with some Trump administration policies and disagreeing with others." A third juror said she appreciated that "President Trump speaks his mind."
To avoid conviction, Trump's legal team needed only to convince a single juror. All of the jurors voted to convict Trump on all 34 counts.”’

‘… there is evidence suggesting that one or more of the jurors was politically conservative. According to the court questionnaires, one of the jurors who was selected said they relied on Truth Social, Trump's own social network, and X, which has taken a sharp rightward turn under Elon Musk, for news. Another juror reported regularly watching Fox News and MSNBC. And according to reporting, one juror said that "he believed Mr. Trump had done some good for the country."…’

Trump is now a convicted felon.
Various politicians and pundits claim that Trump's convictions were illegitimate, unfair, or inconsequential.
Arguments include:
The charges against Trump were "obscure" and "entirely unprecedented."
The prosecutors didn't reveal their theory of the crime until closing arguments
The judge allowed the jury to convict Trump without reaching a unanimous verdict
I've debunked all of these arguments, and many others, with links to primary sources.
Enjoy!
