  • American values? Can’t have that!

    Like the separation of church and state?

    Immigration? Come on in, we’ll worry about it later!

    That’s how 99% of the country got here. It’s what made (and still makes) this country great. Incorporating people from around the world is an American value.

    Trump is running again? Let’s do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to stop him from campaigning!!

    What about the American value of respecting law and order by not supporting a convicted felon for president?

    Crime is getting worse? Let’s ease up on punishment! Crime isn’t getting worse.

    Crime is actually going down.

    Biological men want to compete with women in sports? Okay!

    Accepting those with different beliefs and respecting the way they choose to live their life is another American value.


  • I’m not so sure. It’s MUCH harder to avoid punishment after you are convicted. Michael Cohen got 3 years for the exact same crime, plus he pled guilty and agreed to testify for a shorter sentence. Obviously Trump will appeal, but it’s entirely reasonable for the judge (who Trump has taken every opportunity to insult) to rule he must start serving his sentence while the appeal happens.
