Years and years of tax crimes and fraud and all he gets is 5 months. If it was you or I, we'd never see the light of day again. Trump financial officer Allen Weisselberg sentenced to five months in jail Longtime Trump Organization finance chief Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty in August to 15 counts including tax fraud, conspiracy and grand larceny, on Tuesday was sentenced to serve five months in jail. Authorities had promised Weisselberg a steeply reduced sentence in exchange for testifying against Trump Organization. He had faced up to 15 years in prison. Weisselberg, testifying as a witness for the prosecution during a Trump Organization criminal trial in New York Supreme Court in November, said on cross-examination that he was embarrassed by his conduct and that his actions betrayed the Trump family, for whom he had worked for a half-century. Weisselberg testified that he was acting only for his own benefit. The company was convicted of tax crimes in December. It had been charged with scheme to defraud, conspiracy, criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records. Former president Donald Trump was not charged with wrongdoing in the case.

That we in the US had an event such as January 6th has emboldened right wing fascists around the world. I don't think anyone expected trump to be so , so bad that he would corrupt every agency and person connected to him. He has caused racist, anti American citizens ( and legislators ) to show their true colors, thereby even corrupting most social intercourse with rude, threatening diatribes manifesting on all social media. It's not at all settled how this time of rudeness, payback legislation, threats, intimidation and the coming "rule "by republicans is going to affect our democracy and every day lives. I'm not real optimistic that the republicans will try to actually govern ---they seem only to want to tear this government down. You youngins that plan on collecting your social security and hope that you will have some help with your health when you are aging--- with medicare-----just know that that the right wing has been hoping to get rid of the last of Roosevelts' New Deal forever. They may get it done. Those of you that still vote republican---have the last 6 years taught you ANYTHING??
Nice shooting. I thought for sure the shooter would have been smoked out, drawn and quartered by now - and surprised nobody shot back..
Bannon and that creep, Stephen Miller praised the rioters in Brazil as 'freedom fighters"!!! Why should those fuckers be allowed to enjoy the freedoms we have here while trying to end them ?? Damn, I hate those creeps.
