A tap on the wrist if that. When are we going to rise up against the wealthy and the oligopolies? It’s time to test the safe rooms and modern castles and see if they can withstand the storm. Because that is the only thing that will change how it works. Otherwise, just sit back, do nothing and continue to enjoy the shit show. It’s a weird time to be alive.

9 fucking felonies. “Unsupervised probation”. What tf.

The average person gets caught with a bowl of weed (a single misdemeanor) in a red state and all the sudden probation officers are stopping by their house unannounced, they’re peeing in cups twice a month, and, under threat of imprisonment and slavery, they are forced to give up constitutional rights. Plus all the associated fees that don’t get applied to “Unsupervised Probation”.

This is some bullshit.

My dude(ette), there are always bigger fish and the biggest, slimiest one keeps slipping out of the jumpsuit to match the color of his aging meat suit. This guy likely has a lot of the stuff the prosecution wants.

Let’s say you were doing shady, illegal shit for some mob boss-wannabe. You know a lot of shit. Have emails, phone messages, recorded meetings, and one day you’re picked up on charges for something you did for the boss.

You have two choices, go to jail for 10-15 years or take a plea deal where you give up all evidence on the boss and in return are given only probation. You’d really give up a portion of your life in federal prison for that guy?

That’s the situation that this kind of shit is used for. He didn’t get this light sentence for nothing. Most of these people are spineless tools that were used and thrown under the bus by someone higher on the chain than themselves.

Well over 3 years later. Take your time. It’s not like a lack of justice would affect democracy or anything…

And it’s not like being soft on an attempted fascist coup has never backfired on anyone either…

And you have that gross Stephen Miller dude on Ari Melber last night claiming that the fake electors were totally legitimate and just citizens practicing free speech being victimized by the government. He was screeching like a Karen about it.
