But god forbid we prosecute a wealthy white woman for perjury. That would just be beyond the pale.

    This is what makes zero sense to me. How the fuck can the court determine that they committed fraud for decades and show no remorse at all, in fact the lied and doubled down and then the fuckers basically get a telling off!?!? All the courts and judges have treated trump far more leniently than he deserved when he’s deliberately turned his appearances into circuses and showed complete disrespect to the courts.

      I think the general answer is to avoid any chance of mistrial - they found him guilty of SO much, and didn’t let their “bias” over punish him.

      Even 350million hurts him, and he still lost.

        No, instead they under punish so the mere implication of Trump getting a fair sentence doesn’t inflame his moronic base.
