So, #trump was just charged with a crime that carries a maximum sentence of death (conspiracy against rights, given that someone died as a result, multiple people did during Jan 6).
I feel like I’m seeing a lot of “oh wow, Trump was indicted for a third time”, and not nearly enough “oh wow, look at how terrible the crimes Trump committed were. He could literally face a death sentence for his crimes”. I mean he probably won’t, sort of like how most murderers don’t, but he could. It’s pretty hard to commit a crime that bad.
@AshDene We can only hope. Trump, if found guilty and after exhausting his appeals, should get the same consequences as the Rosenburgs.
There’s always the presumption of innocence, the magnitude of a charge should never be used as a yardstick for the magnitude of criminal behavior.
