      The man insulted the judge and did a series of things that would hold anyone else in contempt of court. And despite all that, the judge bends over backwards to give him a most lenient sentence.

        judge bends over backwards to give him a most lenient sentence

        That’s because the judge doesn’t really have any real power compared to a president-elect

        Attempting to give a prison sentence would result in the judge dying of mysterious circumstances once Jan 20 comes.

        Also, its gonna get overturned in higher courts, Supreme Court has the final say, and we all know how “fair” this court is…

      So we are ok with a convicted felon to be president because “it’s not practical”? Lmfao. Man, this country is such a clusterfucker. If it were me or you, we would have been in prison since yesteryear.
