There is only one quality candidate who is not only capable of carrying out his oath of office—the other one works for our enemies.

He is a felon, a convicted criminal, a liar, a sex predator, and a loser with years of prison hanging over his head!

Penalties for the charges include:

  • Conspiracy to defraud the US is punishable by a fine or up to five years in prison
  • Obstructing an official proceeding is punishable by a fine or up to 20 years in prison
  • Conspiracy against rights is punishable by a fine or not more than 10 years in jail, or both

But there are logistical, security, and political questions around whether Trump would serve jail time even if convicted.

A conviction at trial would take the US into uncharted territory.

Each of the charges carries a maximum of four years in prison, although a judge could sentence Trump to probation later this month.

Legal experts say they think it is unlikely Trump will be jailed and that a fine is the more likely outcome.

The racketeering charge carries a maximum 20-year jail sentence.

Georgia prosecutors would need to prove that there was a pattern of corruption from Trump and his co-defendants aimed at overturning the election result in order to bring a conviction.

As for making false statements, that carries a penalty of between one to five years in prison or a fine.

These charges could, in theory, lead to substantial prison time if Trump is convicted.

Looking at the letter of the law, the counts under the Espionage Act each carry a maximum sentence of 10 years. Other counts, related to conspiracy and withholding or concealing documents, each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years.

But the logistics of jailing a former president means a conventional prison sentence is what most want to see. Lock him Up!

We are drawing attention to concerns about the concentration of power and influence in society, likening it to historical patterns of aristocracy and oligarchy. It reflects a critique of how governments can become increasingly controlled by a privileged few, whether through inherited wealth, corporate influence, or bureaucratic power, thereby undermining democratic principles and meritocracy.

A "new monarchy" and "new aristocracy" suggest a contemporary context where traditional democratic values may be under threat from concentrated wealth and power. The comparison to slavery and moral degradation highlights the moral and societal risks associated with such concentrations of power.

We encourage vigilance against the erosion of democratic ideals and the rise of aristocratic tendencies, advocating for a society where meritocracy and democratic principles are preserved against encroaching oligarchies and entrenched interests.
