The eye-popping judgment against former President Trump

First of all, what the fuck is that doing starting the article? "The eye-popping judgement" is a direct and proven result of his crimes for goddamned fucks sake. That was the whole fucking point of suing him. It was the crimes that were eye-popping you idiot fucks. "ewwwww can yewwww beleeeeev the juuuuudgement agaaaaiiinnst hiiiim" jesus christ.

Goddamn thehill.com, I thought I could read one fucking article without seeing some idiot bullshit but NOPE. Later they give prominent article space as to whether or not he "made it big in NYC" from a Pace university professor. Who might be the smartest guy in the world, but when I go for a generic quote that Ricky from School would know I don't typically dial into Pace university. I'm . . . not even sure where that is, actually. Whatever - nothing wrong with it at all, just . . . y'know. Try calling, I dunno, Stanford or Penn or something. It's just very random.

The Hill is a basic right wing rag that likes to put on airs.

Pace University is a private college in NYC for people who can't get into NYU or Columbia and don't want to go to CUNY. That's why they asked that guy.

Although you could just ask any rich socialite from a nice building on the Upper East Side and they could tell you the same: people have hated Trump for years because he's boring and fat. It's that simple.

Don't forget arrogant, self-absorbed, and rude.

I only use criticism that will sway his supporters. They like the arrogance, self-absorbtion, and rudeness. Those are positives for them, or only minor issues.

Don't even mention them because they like that he annoys Democrats. It's as if a Republican told you they didn't like Pete Buttigieg because he's openly gay. That wouldn't sway you right? You might be more likely to vote for him to piss off Republicans.

Thank you for calling out thehill's bullshit

It's eye-popping in the sense that I never expected him to have to face any sort of consequence proportionate to the magnitude of the heinous shit he did. That's not normally how we do justice in America.
