Technically no. He's convicted, but not a felon yet, as that part enters your record on July 11th when the judgement is being made. So in the mean time, here are some correct titles we can all use:

Felon Elect
Presumptive Felon Nominee
Felony Frontrunner

I never knew how small, both mentally and physically, Wacko Former Actor Robert De Niro was. Today, De Niro, who suffers from an incurable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, commonly known in the medical community as TDS, was met, outside the Courthouse, with a force far greater than the Radical Left – MAGA. Robert, whose movies, artistry, and brand have gone WAY DOWN IN VALUE since he entered the political arena at the request of Crooked Joe Biden, looked so pathetic and sad out there. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio!!!

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

LMAO did he quote "Mrs Robinson" at the end?

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

He’s got his finger on the pulse

[-] BadNewsNobody@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I think it's far from the pulse, jammed straight up his ass.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

And he should've finished it:

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

And here's an explanation of the meaning of this part of the song:

He said, “In these days of Presidential transgressions and apologies and prime-time interviews about private sexual matters, we grieve for Joe DiMaggio and mourn the loss of his grace and dignity, his fierce sense of privacy, his fidelity to the memory of his wife and the power of his silence.”

So Trump, learn something from Simon and Garfunkel and stop being such an insufferable attention whore. We need quiet heroes like Joe DiMaggio, not whatever Trump is.

It’s telling that in his mind, the worst offense he can lob at someone is “your brand has gone way down in value”. Truly one of the businessman of all time.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

I heard something about Robert Di Niro, what happened?

[-] hasnt_seen_goonies@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

He did a campaign event for Biden recently.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

campaign event for Biden

Sounded more like a public service announcement.

[-] hasnt_seen_goonies@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

From the link you posted: "...Robert De Niro after the Oscar winner made an appearance this week on behalf of the Biden campaign outside the courthouse"

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Wrong community. Try c/aneurysmposting.

Does make you cry a little.

[-] SmurfNuts@kbin.social 31 points 5 months ago

Screeching the same delusional shit over and over just makes him look like the pathetic shrivel brained child he is. Now it's felon shrivel brain child though and that's hilarious for his weak cowardly lying ass.

To quote Walter from the Big Lebowski "Shut the fuck up Donny, you're out of your element!"

[-] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago

Hey now, this headline is just all kinds of wrong.
He's a Confused, Demented Old, Convicted Felon

[-] bquintb@midwest.social 13 points 5 months ago

What does it take for this guy to keel over??

[-] maeries@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

Heart attack maybe

[-] halykthered@lemmy.ml 13 points 5 months ago

I think we're going to see a lot more of this over the next month, and it will be mentioned at sentencing in a bid for less or no jail time. If he goes to jail, it will ramp up even more, and we'll see headlines in the vein of "Trump is a crazy old man, compassionate release on the table?"

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I don't give a fuck if he's locked up in prison or if he's locked up in a geriatric facility, just quarantine the piece of shit away from society.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

Can we give him one of those rubber toddler phones that doubles as a pacifier? He doesn't have to know it's not actually connected

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Even better a tablet with fake apps that makes him think he's posting, but every reply is something bad said about him. Just one per lie he told, should keep it filled for awhile.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Preferably six feet below ground. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Then brand new conspiracies that Trump was trying to save the US and then he was slowly poisoned with a drug that ruined his brain

Seems like you should be chill when you’re a convicted felon and awaiting sentencing…

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

You're talking about Trump here.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Nah, you gotta cry a little bit.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Definitely bashing the judge who determines the sentence is a good idea.

The picture looks like he's doing an interview on hot ones

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

From dolt 45 to felon 34.

[-] joneskind@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I read recently he can’t pronounce words more than 4 syllables anymore, that’s why he won’t attempt a public debate with Biden.

Dumb question from a non US citizen: can he still run now that he’s a convicted felon? There must be states where it’s eliminatory, right? Could the Supreme Court reverse a State decision?

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

Yes he can run, but if he can't get it overturned on appeal I'm time then he won't be able to vote in the election he's running in.

The founding fathers didn't idiot-proof the Constitution enough, and trying to amend it is a complicated nightmare that could open it up to all kinds of insanity in the modern political ecosystem.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

He'll be able to vote.

He's A Florida resident, and the rule for Florida felons convicted out of state is that they are subject to the voting restrictions of the jurisdiction in which they were convicted.

New York allows felons who are not actively incarcerated to vote, so unless he's actually serving time he'll be able to vote.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 5 months ago

So all this effort for this trial and his only consequence is he loses 1 vote? Great. Love it.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

It actually depends on his sentence. In Florida felons can vote once they’ve completed their sentences. That includes parole and paying all fines though. My suspicion is he’s going to get like a year parole

This is immensely ironic, he quoted "Mrs. Robinson," which is at least partially a criticism of people like Trump (source):

He said, “In these days of Presidential transgressions and apologies and prime-time interviews about private sexual matters, we grieve for Joe DiMaggio and mourn the loss of his grace and dignity, his fierce sense of privacy, his fidelity to the memory of his wife and the power of his silence.”

Nice self-own there Trump...
