Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

“The nature of your crimes and abuse of power displayed in covering them up represents an unforgivable betrayal of the public trust and indicates a total impossibility of reform,” declared Merchan during the sentencing. “It has been proven beyond doubt that you offered Ms. Daniels $40 and some Burger King to keep your tryst ‘on the DL,’ so as not to jeopardize your chances of a shift supervisor promotion and $2 per hour raise at an Amazon warehouse. It is my hope that this sentencing will show the American people that such a lack of ethics will not be tolerated in the lower-mid echelons of our nation’s great privatized shipping and receiving companies, may God have mercy on your soul.”

Is this a parody site? There is no way this kid is going to prison for life over 40 bucks and some burger king.

Thank you. This is not the kind of thing I thought I'd be having trouble telling truth from fiction about in 2025.

The quote from Judge Merchan is real.

Right before he declared a sentence of no punishment, no conditions, for Trump.

i can’t believe someone would do something so foul and insidious. paying hush money to stormy daniels is one of our country’s oldest and most cherished traditions. it is a right of passage for all republican presidential nominees. by doing it outside the nomination process, without the GOP’s blessing, he undermines the sanctity of our elections. he should be tried for treason to be honest
