    “I’m not sure the public would stand for it,” he said. “I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point.”

    This mf really trying to do it again.

      House arrest is not a penalty that would help him rehabilitate.

      He needs an actual jail to learn anything.

      At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.

        I don’t think he’s capable of learning any lessons from any sentence the court can provide.

          There have been studies that make some progress with some of them, but not ones as old as Trump.

        He has already spent years picking up trash all over the country.

        House arrest without internet, telephone, television, constant visitors: that would work.

          Better yet. House arrest with no internet, but with Rudy giuliani. Both of them in a location neither of them owns limited to each other’s company and the tv. Put cameras all around the place. And let the American public watch it. That would be the best way to make them pay for all they’ve done.

              Add in Rodger Stone and a few other trump felons and we could advertise it as a new season of the real world. Find out what happens when felons stop acting nice and start acting real!

        One year per count and no electronic communications allowed? A violation adds one more year to the sentence automatically.

        That yellow is gonna White really shiny real quick.

          How many years left do you think he has? A year per violation is already more years than he has left. So, a year per violation just means more years he’d never serve.

          Instead, a violation should mean something like a week in jail with no delays–straight to jail. That would actually have a meaningful impact on him.

            Ok but could this then apply to me? I want to have millions, billions if possible and then go to jail for a year at a golf club facility. Oops I dropped the soap! You only need to worry about golf clubs or balls going in there you know what I mean? And a week if I’m bad. Like if I loose it at the 19th hole, I could just go to the one finger clapping a holes and break their fingers. For a week.

      It won’t work though. Remember how he asked for mass gatherings at his trial and it didn’t happen?

      January 6th required a huge number of Trump rallygoers from all over the country to mass in one place, for them to get fired up to commit violence by multiple speakers, for Trump himself to say that he personally was going to go with them to the Capitol, and for Trump to do virtually nothing about the insurrection for hours.

      There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won’t be some great MAGA uprising.

        Even that could turn scary though. One lone wolf attack could inspire more and those inspire even more, eventually leading us to an American Years of Lead

        The Trump base has shown us how insane they are before, I don’t want to underestimate what they’ll do next.

      Stand for it?! He’s delusional. Most of “the public” wouldn’t only stand for it, they’d wait in line to buy tickets to see him escorted to prison. They’d but t-shirts.
