      That’s only if he gets away with probation. Due to him talking with felons all day every day and the fact that he’s publicly shown ALL of the contempt (in both the colloquial and legal sense of the word) of the court and continues to do so, that’s unlikely in spite of the kid gloves he’s being treated with.

      My guess is he gets community service and I hope it involves picking up thrash while wearing a jumpsuit that matches his skin.

        I can’t wait for Fox News. “PRESIDENT TRUMP is picking up trash! He has to bend down and PICK UP TRASH! He is being treated more unfairly than ANY AMERICAN has EVER BEEN TREATED in the HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY!”

        I hate to burst your bubble, but Trump’s not going to be picking up trash. He will either get house arrest, or community service. Community service will likely consist of recording public service announcements. This is how celebrities are typically treated.

        His security is actually a valid concern for the court, which must be considered. It’s impossible to guarantee his security while picking up trash on the side of the highway - since anyone could stop and shoot. Likewise, it is impossible to guarantee his security in prison without solitary confinement.

        Of course, it is possible that one day he may get to run his own prison like Pablo Escobar, but I think house arrest is more likely. He’ll love it. Sitting on his ass in Mar a Lago, doing virtual campaign events, watching the news and shitposting all day.

          Solidarity confinement sounds good.

          No access to a mobile phone or another person forced to listen to him moan, would drive him absolutely bonkers.

    I’m a Republican that does their own Research and even though the election hasn’t happened yet I ALREADY KNOW TRUMP LOST UNFAIRLY because of Sleepy Joe Biden being UNFAIR!

    The Republicans get away with so much despicable action and each time the Dems get pants by the audacity of the attempt. That’s how we are here now.

    The conservatives will try absolutely anything, up to and including armed insurrection. Now with AR15s, and probably with bumpstocks fitted.

    Don’t think that it could never happen. The MAGA element love being underestimated.

      I just wish if they try something again that we annihilate them all from above like those drone videos. Bump stocks my ass, just turn them into dust. Nothing of value will be lost.

      I honestly sometimes think that the democrats (at least some) think like this but are in the closet, other times I think their non-action to the republicans shit actions are just part of the overall plan.

      Just be aware that our military is here to protect the constitution.

      Meal team 6 ain’t about that life. Not even their Dale Gribbliest. It’s going to be a horrible mistake. Fool me once…

        I guess my point is not that they’ll necessarily be successful, it’s more that a great many good people won’t go home to their families that night.

        They weren’t successful last time and the Republican Congress welcomed the traitor-in-chief back to DC last week as a hero.

    I get fundraising texts occasionally. I don’t know why. But the one that came on the heels of the conviction had a section of fine print declaring what the money was for. It included a “recount challenge fund”. This is in the open.

    This shit is going on and yet there’s STILL people whining and suggesting no one vote.

    It blows my mind.

      Stone and a significant portion of those people are on the same side. A larger amount are useful idiots who prefer to moralize about what should be instead of doing the base amount to prevent more of the harm they profess to care about.

      I wouldn’t call locking them in a kneeled position while people throw rotten food at them “violent,” necessarily.

      But I’d love to see it happen anyway.

        Once they are already in the position it wouldn’t be too hard to move them to the guillotine.

    Of course the orange turd is going to challenge it, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. He wasn’t even given a slap on the wrist for inciting a mob to try to overthrow the government. Why wouldn’t he try again?

    Stone is just a useful idiot which also shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    i’m pretty sure that historians will look back on this and agree that a wholesale slaughter of conservatives would have been the best course of action.
