The sentencing procedure for our first criminally convicted felon President is due to begin at 9:30 AM Eastern/6:30 AM Pacific.
Let’s keep all the comments and posts wrangled here.
Live coverage should be… Oh, I’m just going to say “everywhere”. CNN, MSNBC, etc. etc. This is history so everyone should have it.
Edit As expected, Trump is appearing remotely.

Prosecution is asking for more time to read the probation report, apparently they haven’t read it yet.
Prosecution wants “Unconditional Discharge” then layed out every reason why it shouldn’t be unconditional. Trump showed no remorse, believes he’s above the law, that the court has no authority over him.
Defense is now making their presentation.
Trump is now speaking, underlining everything the Prosecution stated. Unrepentant, defiant, disrespectful.
Judge Merchan is addressing the court and CNN cuts away to cover California. LOL.
No live broadcasting the sentencing, but audio will be available after.
7:09 AM - Sentenced to Unconditional Discharge.
Completely unserious legal system. It’s no wonder people try to hard cancel healthcare executives when the law is this powerless to stop evil. When the next vigilante murder happens, I want the country to remember that no one feels protected by the law when the law continually demonstrates itself to be powerless at stopping the ownership class.
Someti,es, things get so bad that someone has to take direct action. When the law is flauted by those in power, what other recourse do we have?
