I know people with a single non-violent felony and are destitute. This mother fucker has 34 and has a chance at being president. Dying empire led by bad people is exactly right.

But he can't vote anymore. Oh thank God for that!

Felons in New York can vote as long as they're not incarcerated.

Florida's voting rights rule for felons convicted out of state is to follow the laws of the state in which they were convicted.

Oh okay. Well hopefully someone will slash his tires. I assume that's the proper thing to do when you're clearly corrupt but the law doesn't apply to you. It's just an assumption.

I think a guilty verdict of 34 counts still only means 1 felony conviction. Plus there is still the appeal unfortunately...
