Paul
Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, was sentenced to prison
today. His sentence could have been almost twenty years for the crimes he
committed, but he received only 47 months, from which “time already served” was
subtracted. He had to pay back the money he had gotten illegally, and pay what
for him was a small fee.
And
yet, through his lawyer, he whined that this sentence was causing him emotional
distress and physical discomfort, and he wants us to all feel so freaking sorry
for him.
Do
convicted criminals deserve any punishment at all? Republicans seem to think
that Republican criminals do not. This is just one more way in which
Republicans consider themselves to exist on a godlike plane above the mundane
world of human beings.
