    1. James McCabe ya gotta take into consideration that I could care less what he does as it has no affect on how I eat, sleep or get paid soooooo 🤫

    2. @J Washburn you don’t care about politics, you close your eyes when Trump does something wrong, and you wish to remain ignorant of what’s going on. That makes sense for a blind Trump supporter to do.

    1. R Gerard it’s all part of the same exam.
      Stone has famously said that he is “try-sexual”. If it’s sexual, he says he’s tried it. I think he’s going to be doing graduate study on this. He’s gonna get an education.

    1. @majtom58 well there has already been 9 investigations and either Trump is actually innocent or every anti Trump person on the planet is compleatly incompetent. Our own FBI and CIA colluded with foreign agents and governments to get HRC elected and failed. They tried to set him up for impeachment and failed.
      Some people would begin to think the TV has lied to you for 3 years and the reason they cant find ANY EVIDENCE TRUMP COMMITTED ANY CRIME in office or while campaigning is because it doesnt exist. Or dems are idiots.

    1. @Ed Ho I’ve lost faith in humanity with knowin that people can be this stupid! When right wingers want democrats to be prosecuted. But say nothing to republicans crimes! Hypocrite trash!

    1. @Nathan Morgan Oh yeah….who would that be?
      You know what Fox news and that modern day gangster occupying the White House? A fat KFC eating slob. Get somewhere!

  1. Why did not this judge sentence Stone the the original 7 to 9 years. And Stone is still not in proson. Why is Stone not in prison?

    1. @Nunya Business Politically, she may not be able to. But judges have a long history of following their own drummer. We define her as having courage for sentencing Stone to 40 months. However,, she could have sentenced him to the original sentence,,, or she could have remanded him the the custody of the prison system,, while awaiting resolution of appeals. I doubt that Stone will serve a single day. He will appeal it to death,, 7 or 12 years from now,, he will die of natural causes. Or much more likely Trump will pardon him.

      I do wonder what charges Trump will face after he leaves office. His immunity on personal affronts, expires with the swearing in of the next president, 1 year or 5 years from now. It could be very interesting.

  2. He wasn’t sent to prison. After the hearing, he went to dinner as his attorneys filed for the new trial. Crappy reporting.

  3. She hasn’t sent him anywhere at the moment. Put him in prison until his appeal go through. That’s the way it works for the rest of us.

  4. When you have Crooks in charge they will do what they’re going to do to protect their own this is way the Mafia wars Trump is Mafia
