Trump will be sentenced based on his conviction in the NYC election interference case (Where the jury found he paid off a porn star to hide his affair from the public, in violation of either NY or US election law.)

The sentence could be anything from nothing to years and years of prison. It's up to the judge. One man. Poor dude. I would not want to be the "decider" on this one!

Make a prediction about the verdict tomorrow.

Today in Labor History May 3, 1919: Pete Seeger was born, Patterson, New York. He started his folk singing career in the 1940s, with the Almanac singers. This group included Woodie Guthrie, Cisco Houston and Bess Lomax Hawes. They sang about industrial unionism and racial inclusiveness. In the 1950s, they reconstituted as the Weavers. However, they were blacklisted by the McCarthyites. As a result, radio stations stopped playing their records and their bookings were cancelled. Seeger was a member of the Communist Party USA, but left it in 1949. He was also an early backer of Bob Dylan until he went electric and Seeger threatened to unplug him at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
