Trump escapes with not so much as a token reprimand in the sentencing for the ‘hush money’ trial

 

BBC 10 January - Trump avoids prison or fine in hush-money case sentencing

‘Unconditional discharge'. Quite the most preposterous verdict in the annals of this mad realm. Trump is sentenced merely to bear the ignoble brand of 'convicted felon' for life, and nothing more. No proper punishment for the scoundrel—not even a paltry fine! Perhaps a weekend in the clink to enforce a semblance of humility? Nay, not even so much as that. Our 'justice' system has descended into an outright farce. Justice Juan Merchan's courage failed him and he could not summon the resolve to impose even the slightest penalty. How he can bear to face his own reflection after levying such a spineless and laughable ruling, I truly cannot fathom. Verily, it defies all reason, but so does most everything else happening around us in #Murica.
