Spending 8 months at a halfway house, and then doing community service once-a-week for 5 years, is real punishment.

More non-violent offenders should get punishment like that instead of prison.

I wonder if Mitt Romney ever finished that car elevator at his beach house in La Jolla. Maybe D’Souza could chill in the basement there for 8 months.

Listening to the Mittster’s plaintive wails late at night would probably be cruel and unusual, but, well, if ya can’t do the time…

Don’t count on it Matt. You are such a decent person who gives most folks the benefit of the doubt - but not this one.

Yeah because Orange is the new Black

It’s too bad that the judge, in part of his sentencing, did not have the option to impose a ā€œshut yer frickin’ pie holeā€ penalty. Sentencing reform, sentencing reform!!!

Dinno: a man in need of the REAL prison experience.

I’m okay with this, by and large. I doubt he’ll have much fun during his eight months at whatever a ā€œcommunity confinement centerā€ is, or during the 2,000 hours of community service. I’m sure he’ll manage to avoid picking up garbage along the freeway, but it’ll still put a nice punitive cramp in his lifestyle.

I do wonder what will (or should) happen when he inevitably returns to TV declaring that it was all a farce, that he didn’t do anything wrong, that he was framed by Obama’s thugs and an activist judge, etc. I don’t begrudge criminals the chance to say they got screwed by the system, but then again he did an awful lot of purportedly sincere apologizing for his terrible, inexplicable, stupid behavior at his sentencing hearing. I know he won’t be appearing in venues where they’ll ask him about that, but I wonder what the judge could (or should) do when he inevitably says something that amounts to ā€œI didn’t mean it when I begged for leniency.ā€

Therapy! That’s the ticket. Talk about a ā€œslippery slopeā€.

Which TV pundit showcase will be the first to live-stream him from the little big house? At least now he’s earned the title of ā€œconvicted election fraudsterā€, to add to ā€œconservative assholeā€.

If I got arrested for something and then had the nerve to go on Twitter and a bunch of radio and TV programs and defiantly proclaim that I was being railroaded and the president was personally singling me out for punishment, I doubt the judge would be so lenient.

Will he get to have another affair while in confinement?

Participating in gainful employment and performing community service? Someone had better reeducate him, because I’m sure he thinks he’s been doing just that all along.

Next up: A hysterical screed from D’Souza about the Fascist/Liberal/Communist/Godless/Thug Judge committing him to an ā€œextermination camp for conservativesā€ in San Diego and an attempt to ā€œshut him upā€ and ā€œbreak his love for the Greatest Country in the History of the Universe!!!ā€.
He needs a lot more intensive ā€œtherapeutic counselingā€ in my opinion, and possibly medication.
BTW - I wonder what would constitute a violation of his probation? If he does violate it, will he be remanded to a hard-time prison upstate?
We can only hope.
Also, we should all now only refer to him as ā€œConvicted Felon Dinesh D’Souzaā€.
Karma is a Bitch ain’t it?

thanks, eustace. it felt dirty until you said that.

Just shorten that to Dinesh D’Felon and be done with him.

there’s no way to violate the terms of probation, is there? like violating the terms of parole? i keep on trying to imagine some way for him to be in jail. he must be able to mess this up somehow.

Trust me, you give me too much credit because I don’t think this sniveling git is really going to change. He’s treated life like it’s a Chamber of Commerce Why I Love America Student Essay Contest writ large, and his goal is to write the most mawkish, what-they-want-to-hear entry possible. Stopping that and doing constructive stuff the rest of his life is the sort of turnaround people do in bad Michener novels, not in real life.

ā€œTherapeutic counselingā€?! They have counseling for being a Dinesh D’Souza?! Would love to be a fly on the wall during one of those sessions.

Bingo!

No wonder I like your comments so much!

Which was simply a balancing of all the whiny horsesh^t he spewed publicly in advance of the trial.
IMO he’s deserving of this outcome.
He mistakenly thought he was due a serving of White Privilege.
