Donald Trump was sentenced in New York on Friday, capping a long and, at times, embarrassing ordeal that saw him become the first ex-president to be criminally convicted.

    Merchan suggested that Trump would have received a stiffer sentence had he been a private citizen – but that the “extraordinary legal protections” provided by the office of the presidency left him no other options.

    If only there had been a significant period of time in which he was a private citizen.

    What a fucking farce. I hate these people. The hand wringing from these intentionally ineffectual taint lickers is worse than Trump’s actions imo. The social contract is dead and so is justice.
