Rather light for treason, but it looks good on her.
Good for her!
Biggest of lmaos from me, dumbass Paula Deen lookin hag.
And the “expert” was … ? And that person got what … ?
Fuck this traitorous cunt. 
Better to deny her sex.
Can’t this be used to charge Lindell with conspiracy?
RIP: Rot in Prison. Traitor.
Going to prison for 7 years, at 69 years of age. For a crook that probably doesn’t even know her name. smh. The charge should be treason, that’s what she did.
Legally speaking, no. She committed sedition. There were no foreign state actors in her crimes, treason cannot be the charge as it would end in mistrial.
Her sentence is actually 9 years
All these sentences for people who literally tried to subvert our Democracy are light as hell. Slap them for 15 years at a minimum.
I mean some people are in prison for longer because the were enjoying some weed.
These should all have conspiracy for sedition or some such on them. But our legal system is too broken to look at that question.
I totally agree, for her that’s likely a life sentence. I wonder if there isn’t some form of psychiatric help some of these people could benefit from. They’re all deeply brainwashed. Subjecting them to the people who have been portrayed so long as the enemy might change some minds. Though, I don’t know that I’d want to subject minorities to them.
Sometimes, people really do have bad intentions. This is one of those times. They don’t need psychiatric help. They need swift justice.
There’s no doubt she had bad intentions. The government is full of people with bad intentions. Taken at face value, somewhere between 40% and 60% of the US has bad intentions. Does that mean we’re almost half evil or that a lot of us are programmed horribly?
My father, born and raised in Appalachia, was born into racism. Met a black guy, he was nice to my dad. Over the years my dad liked him and considered him a friend. Years later he recounts that this guy was one of the good N’s. JFC dad, where do I start? It’s not that an entire race of people is bad; you’ve been lied to your whole life and watch news that perpetuates that lie. It’s the same overall story with an Indian guy from work who shared some of his family’s curry with him. “He’s one of the good ones…” He votes with the republicans because of “all these horrible minorities waving flags on top buildings”. He’s only ever met a couple and says they’re good. He’s not evil, he’s just been lied to his whole life and has never been exposed to enough minorities to get de-programmed. Would he throw a box of democratic votes in the river if no one was looking? His friends, neighbors, and politicians are telling him he’s going to get overrun and shot by minorities if the left keeps winning. He might. Thankfully, he’ll never be in that position, but their programming is intensely strong.
Your father has bad intentions, doesn’t matter how he got them. There is no deprogramming going on. No one is making an effort to educate these people. If anything, this polarization will get worse. Best case scenario is education gets fixed and this hysteria is buried over time.
She’s 69. Prison isn’t easy at any age. This is likely a life sentence for her.
It doesnt matter. How many others would be down for sedition if she got slapped with a thirty year sentence at her age? Not many.
At least they’re going to prison. How the fuck is Trump still a free man.
Presumably because he has more power in the form of money and influence.
I’m mildly surprised that username was available yesterday/today.
Eh not many people choose lemmynsfw as their home instance.
Ahhh, Voyager doesn’t show me the instance they are on.
I’d’ve gone lemmy.world but they required an email and I didn’t want to give one.
Haha Tina enjoy your time in prison you asshole.
She should be glad that the cops didn’t decide to give her the Floyd treatment since she was at least resisting arrest, possibly assaulting the officer. They didn’t even make her get down on the ground or tase her.
Nah, they probably go to the same cross burnings. No way they’d do that to one of their own.
She’s white and affluent. In what world would that happen?
You love to see it
On the one hand, I’m glad she’s going to jail. On the other, I’m annoyed ASF that her main conspirator, the mango Mussolini is still not only walking free, but running for fucking president again.
Watched the sentencing. Judge was angry forsure
Well, he did have to put up with her being in the same court room as him. Personally, I feel sorry for the Judge, he didn’t deserve this.
You fucking wacko leftists just. Wont. Stop. Until every single human being who disagrees with you in any way is in jail. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Shut the fuck up, you walking shit stain.
Get a clue moron, maybe if people stopped being literal cartoon villains and trying to commit treason we’d stop sending them to jail.
Cry quiet, “steel nomad”
Are you having a stroke? Please seek medical help.
How many downvotes does it take for someone to realize they don’t belong somewhere?
Let me know when you find out, cause you’ve been on a fucking roll. It’s almost like people don’t like you.
This is non-partisan - if a liberal performed these crimes they’d be tried the same, and liberals would support it.
The only mental disorder here is your victim complex.
You fucking true patriots just. Wont. Stop. Until every single traitorous criminal is in jail. Conservatism is a mental disorder.
There. Fixed it for you
Nope. She LITERALLY broke the law and was found guilty. I can’t sum it up any better than the judge.
I would support this same course of action for ANYONE who does what she did (and continued to do while never once having any proof).
She is harmful to society and is where she belongs.
The only thing mental here is the complete loyalty some show towards any political figure. Both sides. You obviously suffer from this as your post shows complete disregard for facts and critical thinking. Best of luck with that.
You crazy MAGA traitors just. Wont. Stop. Breaking the law.
Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
Conservatism is a mental disorder.
