Sentencing is where we find that out. Guilty- as we all have learned….

Doesn’t really mean shit.

If you were going to make a example this would be a prime opportunity, but I feel it will go squandered

Course it does, it means exactly what it meant before a court said what we already knew, because all real estate developers are crooks, the entire game is rigged and everything sucks, because our legal system is a joke and our political system is a joke and both are the plaything of the rich.

It means don't vote for him, that's about all you can do short of bringing down the whole house of cards somehow. In a nonbinary control system you'd have the freedom to also not vote for biden either but dream on i guess.

It does? What consequences has he had?

[-] shield_gengar@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

The jury called him a word and that's supposed to mean something.

Insurrectionists literally got like 4 months in jail. A slap on the wrist; well, barely. Nothing's gonna happen to this fucking asshole.

I mean, sentencing isnt for like 6 weeks but he was found guilty

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 25 points 5 months ago

He's been found guilty by regular people. We have yet to see if the judge actually hold him to account.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

There has been no account. Outside of a headline nothing will come of this.

[-] Vertelleus@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

Don't forget the appeal, and the appeal of the appeal!

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's an endless appeal process as long as you have money.

[-] Vertelleus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

It's my hope they make him wait it out in prison, if that's even possible.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

That is the most delusional headline I've seen all year... perhaps even the decade.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
