No, not even an atom of pity. He deserves everything that he is getting. If it is possible to have a schadenfreude orgasm, I am doing so. And loving it.
I agree that we should feel sad that it got to this point, but we should rejoice that the rule of law prevailed and justice was served despite the lunatic ravings of the extreme right.
No pity party here. Not only did he bring himself down but the collateral damage was worse. He spawned a legion of rabid suck-ups, ruined lives used his gift of grift to channel money from useful purposes to his personal slush fund.
tRump is monster who belongs in prison for the rest of his miserable life. The damage he's done to our country is incalculable and ongoing, so I can't feel any sympathy for the man.
None, zero, nada, zilch, bupkis.
The sooner he's behind bars -- or six feet under -- the better.
I thought he should have been jailed a long time ago for his actions on The Apprentice. But he wasn't so now we have this mess. Am I the only one who sees the potential for laughs if he is elected and serves as President from a cell? Can you see him and Putin talking through the glass window on visitors day?
Whatever one’s personal beliefs on the subject, it’s generally agreed that Christianity says Jesus is all forgiving. The tacit acknowledgment is that it requires an element of the immortal divine to achieve that. I am neither. Draw your own conclusions.
"He seems to be a man in a tailspin who may genuinely not understand that he did wrong. "
It's not that he doesn't understand; he simply does not care, and has bent reality around him such that he can never ever be wrong, just everybody else. He was serious when he said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" At the trial, he would use the same "I'm innocent, it's the judge that's guilty" line. He may be scared on the inside, but he will never, ever express remorse or guilt.
Criminals deserve compassion when they are sufficiently sorry for their crimes. In this case, the criminal feels that his sense of entitlement has been injured, not that he has done any wrong worthy of punishment. He's not even sorry that he was caught. Rather, he is affronted that anyone would dare to catch him. It's not possible to pity him.
“I am a flawed being and have let my flaws hurt myself and others, to my dismay” goes a lot farther to warm my cold dark cynical heart than “woe is me, for I have done nothing wrong and all my actions were justified, but now alas I am beset upon” ever will.
There’s a lot of talk about how little convictions will change voters’ minds. Not so much talk about how much convictions will change *him*, and how voters will react to THOSE changes.
The implication of this week’s question is that the woman behind the counter in this week’s story was a Trump supporter. The fact that she looked for something with Biden on it indicates she could just be a practical person who knows from experience what sells where she is.
If people who disagree with me politically are at least willing to be civil to my face, that’s a big improvement compared to a lot of what I’ve seen since 2016. (They can make fun of me behind my back all they want, I’m doing the same thing to them.)
Let's see how he fares when he tells the probation officer during his pre-sentence investigation that it all was a witch-hunt and he had nothing to do with the crimes for which he was convicted. Or Michael made him do it. Should go down well, especially with Merchan when he considers Orange 1's sentence. But, I do see Susan Collins is again concerned.

Schadenfreude Orgasm is an excellent concept, bro.
How about a good name for a rock band?
There is already a song with that name, see Avenue Q if you haven't already. Everyone really should.
I feel pity because his childhood did him such harm, and he'll never understand himself. But the harm he is doing overwhelms any sympathy.
His childhood is only a part of it. There also was his choice to associate himself with people like Roy Cohn, and that's on him.
And on his father Fred who told him to associate with such people.
I feel as sorry for him as he feels for the Central Park Five.
I feel more sorry/badly for the American people than I do him. It was a sad day for our country, that we had even gotten to that point.

Yes, you're the only one.
I can see the potential for humor there, but the potential chances of him serving time in jail are between nil and zero.

Never in the history of history has anyone more aggressively petitioned the Universe for their own undoing than 45*. Let him reap.

She was a Trump supporter. I deduce that from her comment on how Biden made all the prices rise.

While reading Mary Trumps book, I almost felt sorry for the Donald, almost being the operative word.
