These asses need to be locked up until after 2024 because they will be actively subverting our democracy then to ensure a rw takeover and the destruction of this nation's middle class/poor.

Unclear whether your post is complaining about this 28 month sentence.

(23,138 posts)7. Yes, I am complaining about the Justice System & judges going easy on seditionists.
It's system wide and worse by rw drumpf/shrub appointees.
