  1. Hes not going to escape torture in jail, this coward serves to get graped and tortured for the rest of his miserable life💯🤡💩

  2. That looks like the same guy that was outside the voter place in Sarasota,FL. I believe it was the first election when President Trump before he one first term. This guy was a little scary to me as he looked at me before I went into the voting place. I told the guy inside but nothing really happened thou. But I sensed it. He asked me who I was voting for ! He seems like a forceful person in trying to change your mind !

  3. Should have just given him a medal of freedom as he was just trying to execute a Traitor to America as the law states. Treason is punishable by death in America. trump is guilty of Treason.

  4. The judge in this case should not have allowed this man to represent himself. He is clearly mentally unwell. I’m guessing there will be an appeal because of the judges actions in this case.
