Much like Jesus died for your sins, they were arrested for my amusement

In that case, the mediator between Jesus dying for your sins and them being arrested for your amusement is Chris Chan being arrested for your sins 😂

the distinction is between those who worked out a plea bargain (plead guilty) and those who were found guilty by a jury at trial (plead not guilty and were then convicted). both are, technically, convictions, but the difference is between those who owned up to their crimes (and saved the courts and the taxpayers the trouble and expense of a trial) and those who tried to get away with it.

If these people were on the left they wouldn’t even be alive to get convicted. Instead, all but the most egregious get to walk off scot free.

I don’t see any orange dots. Where are the orange dots? We know there should be orange dots there. Not in the acquitted pile either. Where are the orange dots?
Where are the red dots? I don’t see any red dots there. There were a lot of red dots involved with this. They still are.
Where are the red and orange dots?

Orange I’m assuming it’s Trump. And red is… American Indians?
