American Exceptionalism: Egregiously Deleterious Dorito 'Sentenced' On 34 Felonies, Receives No Jail Time, Probation Or Fines

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Johnson also declared that he would aid Trump in "restoring the American people's trust in our system of justice," as if anyone outside of white-and-exhaustingly-privileged America has ever held such "trust.
41% : Does that not, in fact, "reduce the seriousness" of their crimes? Trump and his loyal minions are so delusional when it comes to what actual injustice and judicial bias look like that even after getting a comfy seat in the justice system's V.I.P. section, Trump still responded to his non-sentencing by immediately rushing to social media to call the proceedings a "despicable charade," "a very terrible experience", an "injustice" and, his favorite platitude, a "witch-hunt.
40% : MAGA, amirite? On Friday, Trump received his sentence on 34 felonies related to falsifying business records and hush money payments.
37% : " Imagine being rich white men who sail through the legal system's express lane with all the power and privilege in the world and still having such a massive persecution complex that you believe you're a victim of systemic oppression.
36% : According to the Grio, Merchan issued Trump a sentence of "unconditional discharge," which essentially means his criminal record will still reflect his status as a felon, but he has been released by the court without having to pay an actual penalty.
33% : Suppose Trump or any elected official gets the privilege of answering for crimes without actually being punished just because they are elected officials.
28% : Well, not really. Technically, New York Judge Juan Merchan did sentence Trump -- but what exactly is the practical value of a felony sentence that includes no jail time, no probation, and no fines?
24% : Republican leaders -- who would happily throw any 34-time felon Democrat who committed the same crimes Trump did under the jail -- have been lying about being victims of a "two-tier justice system" for the last two years all because a rich white man was convicted for crimes rich white men usually skate on without so much as a smudge on their criminal records.
24% : " Merchan granted Trump the break of a lifetime, and that still didn't stop Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson from referring to him as a "liberal judge" who "grossly perverted the American legal system" by not dismissing the case against his MAGA messiah altogether.
