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.

    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.
