    Because that’s how democracy works right my friends?

    The politicians are supposed to pay for prostitution and stop judges from jailing other politicians.

      Those politicians should be prosecuted for interfering with justice, threatening judges is criminal

        And like everything with our incredibly stupid system it will end up being some bullshit that Congress needs to investigate itself over so they can find they “did no wrong”…

          it’s not like this isn’t the obvious end point (collapse) for any society run by greed and selfishness. continually dousing the statues of ancient Greece in acid will erode them just as surely as ceaseless corporate lobbying and the systematic removal of those who would stand for principles over profit has eroded the system we built on the greek model.

    Do it. Give him jail time. Because when it comes to politicians we need to hammer in a lesson: not only could it happen to anyone, but it it should happen to almost everyone. They’ll need to be held universally accountable for crimes (for a change), regardless of political party.

      I worry about Republicans taking power and using the trump trials as an excuse to put together kangaroo courts in places like Texas and Florida to actually do the sorts of politically based prosecutions that they’re whining about now. That should never be a reason to not uphold the law though. We cannot let ourselves be held hostage by what bad actors might do in the future.

        They already have said that’s the plan. They want to go after Biden and his family, Obama (they can’t fucking get over that guy…) and whoever else was a part of any investigation of Republicans.

        Turn on fox news and watch the fucking propagandists go from practically in tears talking about trump, to literally frothing rage ranting about how all Democrats need to be jailed…

    He better at least get house arrest. I can see the logistics issue of the SS trying to keep him safe in prison even though he deserves to get the maximum time IMO.

    The BEST situation would be for the judge to say prison for a first offender is inappropriate. And then sentence the Mango Mussolini to 1000 hours of community service in which he’d pick up trash along the highway etc. And begin the 1000 hours in September.

      Don’t put him on a highway chain gang, that gives him too much public exposure. His fanboys will basically flood that place, making the security of the guards a nightmare. Put him in a nice place where he can assemble, clean, or pack something without access to the crowds.

      He would absolutely not be in a jumpsuit on the side of the road doing community service. He would be assigned 1000 hours and then “work” with a charity putting his “skills” to use.

      I’m speaking from experience. I had 120 hrs of community service and I did computer work for a well known charity.

    Biden is OBVIOUSLY overseeing this STATE Judge who told Trump multiple times he would be thrown in Jail but never was DESPITE threatening the Judge’s family and then allowed a Jury to deliberate in private to come to a conclusion based solely off the Evidence provided.

    That is UNFAIR and an ABUSE OF POWER on Joe Biden’s part!

      Biden’s Justice Department declined to prosecute Trump for the obvious crimes he was just convicted of! You can’t just say shit that’s the complete opposite of reality!!! Oh wait, republicans can, and they’ll earn votes with lies like this…

    Warn? WARN? The arrogance is astounding. Just who do they think they are?

    One of those dipshits said “we’re not a banana republic”. That’s correct. Even legislators in those countries know that shitting on their own legal system is counterproductive, but that hasn’t been the case here!

    I’m so sick of these crybabies tearing the country apart simply out of spite. Learn what consequences and facts are, you pathetic whiners.

      It’s time for the whole generation to die. But I’ll be sad since I have family I care about in that generation.
