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

Doesn’t really mean shit.

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?

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

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

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