I can dream. I guess there’s some consolation to his mind slowly becoming his prison. If anyone deserves dementia, it’s this traitor
Asshole kept comparing himself to Capone…
Let’s give him what he wants!
Sentence his ass to 11 years & a roaring case of neurosyphilis.
I kinda think he may already have neurosyphilis. Didn't he have weird sores on his hands? Whatever it is, there's definitely something wrong with that pile of turds and KFC bones he calls a brain.
There has been something wrong with his brain for years. But yeah, I think it may be getting worse. I hope he is suffering and miserable.
Double the neurosyphilis! Or maybe just double syphilis & give him a different kind of syphilis too.
Double your pleasure Double your fun It's the right one Give double-syphillis. Done.
Each count has a maximum of 1 - 4 years of prison apparently. Usually that is served concurrently, but he is technically a first time felon so I doubt he is going to do any time at all.
The judge has all the leeway in this case. Since these crimes were committed to influence an election and undermine democracy, the judge can make him go to prison for the 4 years.
Another factor in sentencing is remorse - Trump has never said he's genuinely sorry for anything. If the judge isn't convinced that this is a one time thing (which is tough since it's 34 charges involving multiple events with multiple accomplices), prison is more likely.
Absolutely fair. I am just shitting out what other pundits have said. We really won't know what happens until July 11th.
With the logistics of imprisoning a past president, and the "kid gloves" the justice system has been using on trump, I see 1 year of house arrest as the most likely outcome, plus some fines.
That's after the next 8 years of appeals...
I understand the kid gloves angle, since, you know... 10 gag order violations and all he gets is a fine. But I don't really understand what's so logistically complicated about imprisoning Trump? The warden at Rikers says they already have a plan in place for VIPs. They will put him in the isolation wing where he will have no cellmate and no interaction with the general prison population, and the Secret Service presumably have come up with a plan by now to protect the dumb fuck from himself while he's on ice. Or better yet, congress can do their jobs for a change and just pass a law to strip former presidents of their secret service retinue if they are sent to prison and the problem will be solved without forcing Americans who are just doing their jobs from having to be punished alongside Trump.
What about the neurosyphilis? Can we still give him neurosyphilis?
Have to have the “neuro” part, first.
Does neurosyphilis become regular syphilis if there’s no neuro to syphil? Cause I’d be alright with that!
Haha, or dementia. I don't wish that suffering on anyone, id rather he just shut his mouth and stop being a hateful shit.
Something tells me the latter has already occurred.
Those spirochetes are leaving hole like a cork screw in his brain.
It's.. 4 years maximum.
Which is not typically given to people convicted of this sort of crime, especially on their first conviction.
