We hate stupid Raw Story and Mediaite’s habit of treating regular editorials as newsworthy, but this one’s pretty freaking good: New York Times contributor Jonathan Alter suggests that, if and when disgraced former President Trump violates his gag order again, that Judge Juan Merchan sentence him to community service in the form of trash pickup in a Manhattan park rather than jail.
Citing the precedent that such punishment has been meted out before and the fact that the Secret Service could fairly easily secure a smaller, obscure park, Alter writes that the fat bastard “would need a long trash stick because even after losing some weight, he’s still too heavy and out of shape to bend down. The orange man in the orange jumpsuit would need help picking up all of the cigarette butts, Styrofoam coffee cups and old newspapers with headlines about his disgrace.”
Alter leaves it up to the reader to imagine the humiliation that would result from what would (hopefully) be a series of images of Donald struggling through a few hours of manual labor. It’s a compelling argument as jail would suck for him but this would suck worse in so many ways.
