From whatever you read, are most people convicted of such crimes unpunished in any way, like Trump?

We had a contest at my blog, predict the punishment Trump will get (not deserve). People guessed parole and fines and suspended sentences, and I've always predicted Trump would get no meaningful punishment, but I've never even heard of being "sentenced" to "unconditional discharge." Basically, sentence to no sentence at all.

Wow, it is sure good to be white and rich and connected in America.

The sad part is her life.

Dementia, man. Giuliani has completely checked out of reality.

My daydream is that the building remains open, the community remains welcome, there are helpful lectures on dealing with life's hassles, and potluck dinners in the basement, and it's all on a voluntary pay-what-you-can basis — sorta like a church, only without the god.

It's like a light bulb reading these comments. I've barely touched social media, wondered why it's of no interest to me, but suddenly I grok it. I prefer the intelligent conversation (and stupid takes too, like mine) of a forum like Lemmy, where there's a much better IQ/batting average than 'social media'.

I'm old, sorry, but yeah — gotta remember, Pence wasn't crazy enough to make the cut this time.

Without even any public statements of caution.

Might've, might not've. It's irrelevant now, of course.

What Biden and Harris will be remembered most for, is their peaceful transition of power to a mentally unbalanced fascist tyrant, knowingly, compliantly, without even any public statements of caution.

Biden and Harris are ready to quietly shake hands with Trump and Pence, hand them control of everything, after then retire to a quiet life of luxury and highly-paid speaking engagements, where they'll continue the Democratic Party's proud tradition of speaking without really saying anything.

And so the toilet flushes.

The only difference between the 'professionals' and the criminals is the badge.

"But he was no angel," will be the line...

and state-sponsored terrorism at that!

Memo to CNN: In no sense is it newsworthy that Bill Clinton had the flu.

Oh man, I miss Loompanics.

What a shallow, panicked take. Listening to an "experienced child exploitation investigator," Reuters did a deep-dig at OnlyFans and found 26 accounts featuring females who "appeared" to be underage.

That's not my kink, but 26 ain't many, "appeared underage" is an incredibly low bar, OnlyFans requires proof of age, which all the pages in question had on file, and the site took the pages down immediately anyway. I'm not seeing how OnlyFans could be more rigorous about this, but Reuters should be. This is just anti-porn hysteria.

Appreciated. Still seems like nothing to me, but I sorta grasp it better thanks to your explanation.

For... hiring someone she knew. I'm still not seeing it, unless there's evidence that she was dragging the case out, as you say.

Admittedly, even trying to see the right-wing perspective gives me acid indigestion, but can someone explain-like-I'm-5 why the DA's romantic life has any bearing on the matter?

Huh. Kinda surprising that there's a lawsuit, that this is allegedly against some rule. It's America, so I just assumed, if your parents are rich and you want to go to some elite college, of course you're extra welcome. Here, have an pillow with the university's logo embroidered on it.
