      Even if he goes to prison, which if he’s convicted there’s a good chance he gets something more similar to house arrest due to his position as a former president, he is 100% not going to be in general population. I believe he’s guilty and hope that if the trial proves that that he’s convicted. But people imagining him in the chow line in an orange jumpsuit are fooling themselves.

        If there’s a spectrum between chow line and house arrest I would’ve thought he’d be a little closer to the chow line end than kicking back at mar-a-lago.

        Like segregation or something? There has to be at least the appearance of “one justice”.

        Trump could rape a baby on Wall Street on video and he wouldn’t go into gen pop.

        I mean, if he did hopefully somebody would be nice enough to cap him, but he’s not going to go into normal jail like a normal person would under any circumstance.

        If nothing else I’ll settle for him officially being barred from holding office.

        Appeals will take years, if granted. And I bet he’ll find ways or sympathetic judges.

        It, at least, cannot be ruled out. A conviction is the end of the first chapter.

        Yeah he’ll 100% be on house arrest. No one’s going to throw a former US President in actual jail.
