      That article (and your summary) clears a lot of things up. Thank you good sir!

          That would be quite the look for the US.

          In fact, it’s already quite the look, with him being the leading candidate of his party. Madness.

            Man, a sitting president in prison would be almost the perfect embodiment of American symbolism. Only thing to make it more so would be if he was in prison for shooting up an elementary school while holding a Bible and screaming “USA USA” from a mobility scooter, all while the police gave him a standing occasion from atop the back of a choked-out black man.

            Man, as a veteran of that same country, this whole situation makes me wonder what it was for… I’m waiting for all of this to make sense.

          Not if they actually follow the 14th amendment, this would solidify him as having been involved with a coup against the country and should bar him from holding office unless 60% of congress allows him.

      This article is mostly about the federal prison system. They may have different rules about segregation units. Minimum yard time, stuff like that. The article mentions movement and keeping a protective bubble around Trump, two issues that state prisons and county jails solve every day with extended segregation units when housing high profile prisoners. Yes, having Secret Service in the prison would make things a bit more complicated but much less so if Trump was in segregated housing.

      Not that I think extended seg time is a great way for anyone to spend their life. But this idea that Georgia can’t figure out how to put him in prison if they want to just isn’t true. It’s just not that complicated once you take movement and other prisoners out of the equation.
