    Here’s a link to the judge’s 17 page ruling.

    It’s basically a smackdown of all of Trump’s legal arguments against being found guilty and sentenced. Unfortunately it ends with the judge basically saying, despite all that, it’s not practical to throw this chucklefuck in jail. So we’ve got no choice but to let him go free.

        His deplorable followers get nearly the same treatment. If “antifa” or BLM was openly planning, for months, on descending on the Capitol to overturn an election, I think they’d be ready with turret-mounted guns.

        As it was, donvict’s “peaceful protesters” were allowed the run of the place. They did nothing to try to even get most of them. Took years in some cases to track down these terrorists, and they still haven’t gotten all of them yet. The terrorist(s) that planted those bombs - still unpunished.

      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.

      a smackdown

      Backbreaker!

      Suplex!

      Off the ropes Epic Smackdown!

      Unfortunately it ends with the judge basically saying, despite all that, it’s not practical to throw this chucklefuck in jail.

      Classic WWE ending. Nobody ever really loses because it’s all for show.

        I’d be 100% on board with the sentencing being The Undertaker throwing Trump off Hell In A Cell, and having him plummet 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
