  • Well, not technically. He had his sentence “discharged” the week of Jan 6 2025, which was technically while he was not president, but well after he had stolen his second term and it was certain he would be the president in about 2 weeks. So, he can’t be sentenced for those 34 felonies anymore, but I wonder if he would have been sentenced to time if he hadn’t stolen a second term.

    Probably not, since the judge who unconditionally discharged any sentence was at the very least a Trump apologist who bent over backwards to give Trump the white glove treatment. At the very least Judge Merchan could have assessed fines equal to the value Trump stole with his crimes, or even put Trump on probation. Nope, just let him off free and clear.

    I just hope some enterprising state AGs find more things to charge him with and he spends the last couple of years of his life rotting in prison.

    How dare you! Actually, not terrible ideas, but I would pin it to an age, not whether you have retired or not. Maybe 70 currently? As we live longer and people are healthier longer it may need to go up. Something to think about: the wealthier you are the less this affects you. You could pay to have someone else drive you anywhere at anytime, and, although it’s probably not legal, if you were rich and could afford it, you could probably find at least one person who would change their vote for you for some $$.
