House arrest is not a penalty that would help him rehabilitate.

He needs an actual jail to learn anything.

At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 62 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't think he's capable of learning any lessons from any sentence the court can provide.

Someone get Susan Collins in here

Sociopaths cannot be rehabilitated

There have been studies that make some progress with some of them, but not ones as old as Trump.

Maybe picking trash on a highway.

He has already spent years picking up trash all over the country.

Hey settle down. Stormy Daniels is my hero.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 5 months ago

Pretty sure they meant the “repeat it, don’t think about it” maga crowd.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

House arrest without internet, telephone, television, constant visitors: that would work.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Better yet. House arrest with no internet, but with Rudy giuliani. Both of them in a location neither of them owns limited to each other's company and the tv. Put cameras all around the place. And let the American public watch it. That would be the best way to make them pay for all they've done.

Add in Rodger Stone and a few other trump felons and we could advertise it as a new season of the real world. Find out what happens when felons stop acting nice and start acting real!

Bunch of nutjobs squabbling over limited honey bun resources, I'm in.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

One year per count and no electronic communications allowed? A violation adds one more year to the sentence automatically.

That yellow is gonna White really shiny real quick.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How many years left do you think he has? A year per violation is already more years than he has left. So, a year per violation just means more years he'd never serve.

Instead, a violation should mean something like a week in jail with no delays--straight to jail. That would actually have a meaningful impact on him.

Ok but could this then apply to me? I want to have millions, billions if possible and then go to jail for a year at a golf club facility. Oops I dropped the soap! You only need to worry about golf clubs or balls going in there you know what I mean? And a week if I'm bad. Like if I loose it at the 19th hole, I could just go to the one finger clapping a holes and break their fingers. For a week.

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

let's be honest, he is beyond rehabilitation.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Let's be honest, he could die in jail.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.

I would do unspeakable things to see this happen

As much as I yearn for an embolism to bless the present day: no.
