Why should merchan be lenient when the entire time the orange turd was hurling insults and the system, the judge, the judges family and the jurors while displaying a level of contempt, lack of decorum and respect for the institution, and an absolute lack of contrition?
Donald is a stochastic terrorist urging his Trumpanzee cult to threaten and harass jurors and court staff. He is a danger to society. Hopefully the judge now feels able to take that into account for sentencing, despite failing to take any of that into account during the violations of court orders.
He's full of hot air. Anyone that follows him and does something stupid will fuck it up and end up in jail themselves. Giving him any sort of credence is the problem with the right. They think they seem badass. To most they seem like whiny little babies incapable of accomplishing simple goals other than being the little brother that refuses to eat their broccoli.
Paul Pelosi would like a word. We can't keep giving these terrorists latitude while they practice how to get it right.
I would say that Pelosi is a perfect example of that. Because he's in for 40 years. My point is we can't be scared of their posturing. It's just them trying to be intimidating.
Did you forget about the whole January 6th thing? It'll be even easier to get them to do it a second time since they're even more radicalized now.
No. I did not. But the only death from that was their own and all are being convicted for it. The process is working. It just takes time.
Jan 6 almost succeeded.
He needs to be moderate, not lenient. Trump’s legal team is looking for any and all reasons to win an appeal. Now is not the time to show bias.
With that being said, the judge determines sentencing partly on the character of the defendant. Trump’s behavior certainly won’t help him in that respect.
100% this is why I'm hoping for community service. Done in a very public facing way. Putting a near 80 year old on jail for a first time offense would show bias. However, him show contempt for the justice system and his instance of making a spectacle of the entire process should be a major consideration. Have him, legit, in a reflective vest picking up trash, would be considered a light sentence if you consider the range of punishments. It would definitely, attempt, to force some agenda of teaching humbleness. Hearing his complaints, or his supporters, saying that he's too old for that type of work would take so much wind out of the sails out of old Joe narrative.
Maybe I'm just rationalizing for my popcorn motives though lol
