    Cohen served time for this exact same crime in the exact same state. I think he was sentenced to 3 years and did 1.5 due to covid early release. That was also his first felony.

    It’s fully possible he gets jail time.

      Stop saying Cohen got convicted for the exact same crime! It’s misinformation. They both got a completely different set of counts.

          this actually affects the entire world. We all have our knockoff trumps, and this needs to show them and our countries that there will be consequences for them.

          At least, there’s the likelyhood of it. Bolsonaro didn’t get prison time, but at least he got barred from politics and his passport revoked. Hopefully similar things happen to Fidesz & Orban, Milei and various others.

            Yeah I’m sitting there the far side of the Atlantic and I can say with absolute certainty that this affects me. For the better like.

            My mother called me in to watch it live on TV. Pure chance that I was in her house. I never watch live TV. We both said that we were watching history.

          Women in Texas have literally seen their rights to their own body stripped away by state level politicians supported by the 5th circuit and further bolstered by SCOTUS.

          It quite literally does, affect me.
