politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That is up to the judiciary branch to decide. But I would not be lying if I'm split between actual jail, or community service with a suspended jail scentence.
Community service would be hilarious
Home confinement is always an option
With an ankle monitor.. I'm sorry .. the schadenfreude is just too much to resist.
House arrest with an ankle monitor might be the way to go. No way he obeys the rules, so it can be a stepping stone into convicting him of even more stuff! Lol
Is there any way that he could be released for a few hours a day to go work with a cleanup crew to pick up trash by a highway somewhere?
:)
Needs a come with a complete communication blackout, no internet, no unnaproved phone calls.
Really? Because of anybody could benefit from some years in prison, it would be Trump.
OTOH, Hitler spent time in prison, and look how he turned out.
Hitler was also young. If Trump goes to prison, there's a good chance he dies there.
I can't stop giggling at the thought: 34 counts, each with a maximum 4 year penalty.
I know, I know... no judge is going to issue the maximum penalty on each of those counts, especially in this case. But a man can dream.
136 years. happy sigh
