25. He should get zero jail time
Wed Jul 2, 2025, 12:29 PM

He's not a good person. He treated women he was in a relationship with horribly. No defense.

But that's not what he was convicted of. Prostitution. Really?

If the feds had put half the effort into holding Trump accountable as they have trying to convict Combs of a half-baked RICO charge, I don't think we would be in this mess.

I realize there is no internal link between these two cases but I'm not in the mood to debate logically this morning.
