Will it be a sentence that keeps him out of office, puts him in prison, or interferes with his 1% lifestyle if he manages to survive four years of presidency?

We know it will be none of those things so who really gives a shit?

He's gonna be scolded alright? He will have to say he's sorry.

The real travesty is that I'm quite sure he won't even have to do that much.

I think this sentencing will show us once and for all that nobody is above the law. But a lot of people are above consequences.

The judge had the chance to do the funniest thing ever and have him be in jail for the inauguration but she dropped the ball.

What a stupid world.

i love it when my legal system is forced to show its true colors instead of all the lofty bullshit of "the rule of law"

i hope it's televised somehow so that i can watch the judge kowtow in real time to the reality of the system he himself probably doesn't want to accept and tell himself that "it's just this one time"
