So....Trump was finally sentenced in the hush money case....no punishment, no penalties. The felony stays on his record, but he faces no real consequences. It's over. We're letting him get away with it.
People may ask, well what else should we have done?
Well, it's my opinion that we should've never let him run in the first place, given the inciting an insurrection charges. We should've moved stuff up and prosecuted more aggressively. And given he was found guilty back in July, we should've held him accountable for it and sentenced him. But then they gave him the softball treatment because he was a whiny (word I won't say) who screamed that everything was a witch hunt against him, and they were afraid of sentencing him and punted it until after the election. And because he won, we literally just let him walk free.
Honestly, I understand, given the situation, not giving him jail time, but honestly, I still would've subjected him to a form of house arrest and forced him to deal with a probation officer all the time. I mean, the dude is surrounded by a security detail all day every day anyway. Just make him wear a fricking ankle monitor, don't let him do some of his more luxurious recreational activities like golf, make him deal with a probation officer, etc. I mean, let him do anything he needs to that's part of his official duties, and I admit, at this point, the punishment is largely symbolic, but the symbolism is the point. No one should be above the law, not even the president. And we're literally showing the world that this dude is above the law. That he can do whatever he wants, and he will ever face consequences for it. This dude is so privileged, and not in an SJW way (although that too), that it's ridiculous. If this were any one of us, we would rot in jail for what he did. Heck, his followers faced legit penalties for January 6th. he's probably gonna pardon them too.
The whole thing is a fricking joke. We literally just made a travesty out of our justice system here.
I know people give Biden a lot of crap for pardoning hunter and commuting most of the death row cases, but honestly, at least with biden he's taking a principled stand against the death penalty, and arguably protecting his son from trump's weaponization of the justice system. Because you know that's coming. Trump sees all attempts to hold him accountable for crimes as politically motivated and it's been speculated that he will weaponize it against others. Biden is playing a little defensively on that front.
Whatever, I can at least tolerate what Biden is doing. I can't tolerate what Trump has done. January 6th, no, that's a line that shouldve never been crossed. I know that the hush money thing wasn't the same thing, but i see it as nailing al capone on tax evasion, at least it's something. And yeah. We're letting him get away with it.
