So he was convicted. Big honking deal

I just read that whole article.
Indeed was not a pleasant place if we’re to believe the author.

Indeed. Imagine Convict Donald being told to sweep rocks off of the street all day.

Boy, I hope we see a picture if that happens.

“good enough” doesn’t count.

He has also been impeached.
Twice.
Democrats danced in celebration.
But the total consequences he faced were : ZERO

The smug celebrations going on everywhere are simply ridiculous.

Wake up people, and stop dreaming.Trump is going to enjoy his life more than you.
This convicted felon who you think has been defeated will be your President six months from now.
BE AFRAID. Judge Merchan, all the prosecution lawyers, all their staff, all the witnesses, and all12 jurors, will be arrested at 2:00 pm on inauguration day.
Seriously…they should be making plans right now to leave the country for at least 4 years.

It’s clear you have absolutely no idea what a minimum security prison is like. They are less restrictive than higher security prisons but they are still prisons. They are not pleasant to stay at, nor are they supposed to be because they are punishments. Nobody is getting tennis lessons there. They aren’t comfortable or fun. That’s complete fiction.

Wow…doomsday enough?

I believe he’s probably gonna be president again. (I’ve been wrong before. I thought he’d skate on this felony conviction) So there’s hope.

The October surprise is bound to be a barn-burner.

He’s not gonna arrest all those people. He was lame and got nothing done in his previous term. What has changed?
More dementia? He will forget what happened. He already had forgotten by today, the actual facts.

He’s forgotten all the crap he says everyday.
Lie upon lie is hard to remember for someone with all their brain-cells intact. His are broke. Did you not hear him speak today? Ravings of a madman with deep seated paranoia.

He has watchers.

Uh… sometimes I have difficulty understanding the point’s you’re trying to covey. I’ve been there, but are you saying there wouldn’t be a sizable difference in the two candidates and the philosophies of their parties? Yes, if Trump OR the Republicans gain power, thing’s will (probably) be poopy-garbo. I don’t want to live in a god damn LGBTQ+EVERYTHIG other than white Christian male, hating theocracy.

…or am I being trolled here?

The local correctional centre is minimum/medium. As a lawyer, I’ve been there many times to see clients. My credentials let me in the door, but that’s about as far as it goes. After I enter, I’m entirely dependent on the good graces of the officers.

If they’re not escorting me, they follow me on CCTV everywhere I go, buzzing me through doors I should be going through, and not buzzing me through doors I shouldn’t. (I’ve made a few wrong turns accidentally.) I am not allowed my cellphone, and if I had cigarettes and a lighter, they would not be allowed either. Sometimes, the officers want to hang onto my car and house keys when I check in. In fairness, they do keep items safe in a “coat check” kind of arrangement, and I can reclaim them when I leave my appointment. It’s best to leave anything questionable in my car. I typically go in with my briefcase, which would contain a file on my appointment, a notepad, and maybe a magazine if I need to kill time waiting—something innocent (ha!) like Time or National Geographic.

Despite being “minimum/medium,” it is not a pleasant place. Yet it is regarded as a “country club” in our correctional system. A nice big grassy exercise yard with all kinds of sports equipment, a gym, and minimum security inmates get “open visits” in a common area. There are plenty of books, games, and common areas with a TV. Everybody gets a job, if he wants one. Doesn’t pay much, but very welcome, as it does top up an inmate’s canteen account, from which he can buy candy, chips, Coke, magazines, and other treats.

But it is not a pleasant place. There are no tennis courts, no golf course. I’m glad enough to get out of there in two or three hours. It is, quite frankly, depressing.

Are there conjugal visits? (Understanding it’s not relevant here).

No, there are not.

Just remembered. The nicest, most pleasant thing I’ve ever seen there is the calendar on the wall of the interview room. Nice landscape photos.

If that calendar is the most pleasant thing that can be seen, well, that should tell you a lot about a “minimum/medium” institution.

Who, exactly, are you replying to?

Most people would rather not be called a troll. I thinking

I spent some time on temporary duty (assigned as a guard) at the US Navy’s brig in the Philippines ages ago. It was not a pleasant ride, although it was safe, for the prisoners and the guards were quite busy. Since Tan the Convictman loves to pretend he’s all military, it would be awesome if he could serve whatever custodial sentence he receives at a military correctional facility. Don’t wake me up for a while; I’m enjoying my dream.

What I’m asking is if you’re legitimately being lax on Trump, because if you’re downplaying the effects of Trump and the Republicans, that’s a little weird to me.

I’m assuming to me, @Beckdawrek , since I posted about my experiences as a lawyer in a minimum/medium institution in my post just above his question, and he had a legitimate question.

I’m not being lax on him. I hope he goes to prison 20 to death.
Or lightning strikes him.
Or somehow a black hole forms on the golf course and he falls in.

I’m just thinking the doomsday scenario is less likely to happen if fear mongers don’t go nuts. Calmer heads need to perservere.

To be sure he could possibly be very dangerous. I don’t think he has the chops anymore.

At least half of America is smart enough to fight that, anyway. We’re not done with this great experiment. IMO.

Don’t call me a troll.

Do you realize I didn’t call you a troll?

I’m pretty certain you did. If you were responding to my post.

Am I being trolled?=Are you a troll?

I’m sorry that’s how I read it.

this shit’s so exhaustion.

Asking “am I being trolled” insinuates you are displaying trollish behavior. You don’t have to be a career keyboard warrior to ACT like a troll.

Like, what you’re saying doesn’t make sense and I suggest you reassess things. That’s up to you. I’m not trying to insult you.

Don’t harsh our squee is a beautiful sentence.

I will not sit still for being called names.

You reassess things.

Troll has awful connotations on this board. Words mean things.
Watch who you call a troll or tell someone they’re trollish. I’m neither.
I’ve demonstrated my presence on this board. For a few years.

I’m honest, open and clear about who I am. (At some detriment to myself)

My post was not expressing a lax behavior toward Trump. I have been very clear about that. In many posts.

If you can’t understand that well, there’s not much more I can say.
If you’re exhausted and don’t want civil discussion maybe don’t call me a derogatory term. I will fight it everytime.
