"I'll quit drinking if you let me run the Pentagon"

It may be due to the judge’s ability to set aside the jury’s verdict that it isn’t official until he enters the verdict.

How is that?   A jury does not convict, they find guilt or the lack thereof.  It is the judge that enters that into the record and at that point he is convicted and sentenced.   The judge can decide not to do that and then there is no conviction.   A distinction with a difference.

this is a fun argument.  No nut swingers around here 

What are the people (or person) called that can't debate things, which may be about Trump, without calling people "nut swingers" who do?

You are talking about paperwork and political power/motivation. None of that changes the fact he was found guilty by a jury of committing 34 felonies. Call it a conviction, don't call it a conviction. It is a distinction without a difference.

You can stop. You already made my point.

WKN - He's asking you a simple question of what are the 34 unique felonies.   You are making his point by not answer the question. 

In addition, from a legal standpoint, Trump is not convicted, he was found guilty.    There is a legal  difference between the two.   Legally he was found guilty.   Legally, he has not been convicted.

Back to the OP, who among us would give up drinking for a chance to run the Pentagon?  I would not.

Oh, I am aware. I am also aware he has had that question answered. And I am aware that no matter how many times it is answered he will not stop asking it.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing. He's a quitter.

@mspart don't get me wrong, though. I consider @ionel an internet friend. We just disagree on stuff on stuff like this.

Well one, you misunderstand the definition of debate.  What takes place in here are not debates. 
 

Second, what would I call that type a person….one who calls it like it is.

Having been on the debate team in high school I'm not sure we want that type of debate.  I could go either way ... not that anythings wrong with that.
