    I think he is guilty as sin as well, however we still have to prove it on a court of law and hope the judge is not lenient and throws the book at him.

      In this case, it’s a D.C. court with a judge appointed by Obama, so I don’t think lenience is going to happen.

        We definitely do. We can’t eschew due process. It’s integral to our society.

        Everyone, everyone deserves the opportunity to defend themselves.

        That being said, he’s guilty as shit and I hope they throw the book at him. He wanted to steal the election and then invoke the military under the insurrection act to start putting down the resulting riots with gunfire. The man was going to kill Americans to keep his grip on power. It’s all outlined in the indictment documents.

          Once again, “everyone” just means those who can afford it. Don’t think for a second is fairness for all. You would not be judged the same.
