I just yelled out my front door, “there is justice!”
But wait a minute. This orange bastard walks out of the courtroom? You, or me, would have been frog marched to a waiting cell, to be transferred to an actual jail, and sit there awaiting appeal. (Which will surely happen.) But the point here, is that orange asshole is right! The system is rigged, rigged in favor of rich white assholes who think they can do what they please. We’d have probably been in a cell the entire time, except for when they gave us a free ride to the trial.
My disgust for this fucker aside, I’m quite pleased that we can now say “Donald Trump, felon.” Has a nice ring to it.
But wait a minute, felons can’t vote, or hold public office. (AFAIK) So this jack ass can’t even vote for himself, but he can run for president? Is there nothing in our rules anywhere that keeps a felon from running for, and/or being a president in this country?
If not, why not?
Regardless, I’m going to do my happy dance now. Whatever comes, this is a win. This is a win for all good people in this country. It’s a win for justice. It’s a win because Faux News probably exploded, and all the right wing propagators of bullshit, are scurrying around with their pathetic little heads looking for a clue, and waiting for the “official” talking point, avenues of attack, to come in on the fax machine.
A felony, as far as I can remember from high school, comes with a minimum 1 year and a day sentence, and misdemeanors a maximum of 11 months, 29 days. So the orange idiot is now a felon, he damn well better get jail time. Or this was all for naught. I want to see that orange bastard in an orange jumpsuit, for at least a year dammit! I hope the judge tosses in another couple of months for all of the asshole-ery in the courtroom, and the many violations of the gag order.
All we can do is wait. And hope this judge comes down with a heavy hand. I doubt it, but one can hope.
Dear Santa… all I want is ๐
