Dotard claims that there's 90-day truce in the trade war, and a good deal is under way. Meanwhile, there's no mention of "90-day" anywhere in Chinese state media, and it's all empty platitudes about having reached an understanding and pledging to not impose new tariffs for the time being. "No new tariffs for now" is something I guess, but it's not much if you are already losing your shirt from the existing tariffs, and just RIP is you are an American soy farmer, lol.

Impossible to say what he was "facing", but he was only actually charged with making false statements, which IIRC could give 5 years max.

He's only charged with just that because he cooperated though. Pretty sure the poo poo where he was going to give up that Muslim cleric (resident? citizen? not sure) over to Erdogen would've had him in prison for the rest of his life.

The fun thing about all these criminals being old guys - even a relatively light sentence is a life sentence. Who wants to die in prison for shithead like Trump?

Nah he's retired since the Obama years, so normal civilian. Also as much as the US military loves killing, it hasn't carried out any execution for 50+ years, actually making it one of the better US jurisdictions when it comes to capital punishment. They still sentence people to death every now and again, but the unofficial policy seems to be just locking them up and waiting for them to die from natural causes.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
i just remembered that time trump couldn't color in a US flag and had to be reminded by a bunch of second-graders what the flag looked like

Oh for sure, but it is really impossible to say what he could potentially haven been charged with, since we still know so very little. The Gulen (a legal US resident) abduction thing was also kinda hazy, with some sources claiming that it was a plan to actually abduct Gulen from the US illegally, while others say it was about lobbying the Trump WH to extradite him "legally" (which would have still been illegal for Flynn to do, since he was not registered as a paid foreign agent).

Also it's not even about dying in jail from old age for many of these guys. Maybe Flynn can take it, since he was in the military all his life, but even federal minimum security prison is gonna break Manafort or Don Jr before long, like I don't think those guys can actually physically survive long without 24h room service or housekeeping staff, or $15k ostrich jackets.

Edit: I almost forgot, Manafort was in a loving wheelchair the last time he was in court lmao, like a serious bodily injury from sleeping on low thread count sheets or something.

My high school ran out of paper halfway through every year, so we had to bring our own paper from home and spend more than half of every class copying worksheets by hand.

That's some mild poverty stories, but people on SA call me a liar when I tell the really ridiculous poo poo.

lol I did student teaching in a poor rear end inner-city school and for all the depressing nonsense, THAT level of crap wasn't remotely on the radar. And drat did I go through a lot of paper.
Then again when you go to the rich parts of my state and see the disgusting excess, you still kinda got to wonder why the poor schools were anywhere near as bad as they were.

I don't doubt you at all btw. Just some parts of this country man....

Though honestly what was really shocking me was the idea of middle class areas in Texas that lack parks and poo poo, because I guess I AINT PAYIN NO PUBLIC SPACE FER THOSE PEOPLE TO USE or whatever.
