and of course, 15 minutes after I click "publish" —

"BREAKING NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, alleged architect of the “fake electors” plot, has struck a plea deal with prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, per source familiar with the arrangement."

Let’s not get all crackered and wined up just yet!! This supposed tough Judge has yet to make a decision to Jail the blob. A fine would be ridiculous!! His maga cult leaders would pay the fines. If this Judge doesn’t imprison him after how many warnings? Then I believe he’s a Frumpt kiss ass..what else is new? 🤬

The "cheese" has a future although his either old head shot or recent stress make him look like he is 10 years older than his court appearance today. If he complies w/ his profer, completing his terms & 5 year probation he can get his charges wiped. Instead of throwing his law degree down the shitter as his co-conspirator the Kracken... I just think being an old lady in jail was her main justification. And looking at that mug shot... she just looks like 40 miles of bad road on any day. Whether that was a good day for her... unknown. Her weird choice of cat prints in the clothing choices is what, "as Fatale as an after dinner mint?" A sharp shot at candy.

holy shit, look at all the stuff that happens while I'm writing and not paying attention to the news:

"Judge Engoron just asked Trump's lawyers why he shouldn't send him to jail or impose other sanctions in light of an incendiary post he ordered him to delete two weeks ago that remained online last night. Chris Kise said it was an oversight. Judge will rule later. Story TK."

He should at least fine The Donald - a fine which would get the attention of someone who claims to be a billionaire.

Jail. Period. There should be consequences and he's not president anymore and this was something he was told to do and he didn't JAIL HIM

not really if the judge gives a deadline to pay in cash or go to jail.

He’d pay in cash. Jail

Is the answer. He’s been given more chances than anyone of us would not have gotten away with.

Stephen Brady's avatar

He fined the Donald $5,000... that won't get the Donald's attention. Fine him $30 million and he can't easily raise that much money quickly. It will drain his campaign coffers and he will never willingly use his own money. He will need bigger, more absorbent Depends.

Finally it appears that justice is getting its moment in the spotlight. The beauty of it is that this moment will last longer than the normal allotment of 15 minutes. This will last years! It is good to be amongst you humor enthusiasts for such an epoch duration of schadenfreude after the many years of gaslighting and dipshittery. Now, please pass the Cheese and Krakens.
