Are these state charges, or is trump gonna pardon him?

Doubtful that he would be sympathetic to this type of domestic terrorism. Also not sure what the Governor of Pennsylvania has to do with Palestine.

He reportedly had mental health issues and had stopped taking his medication.
I think Shapiro is a shitty liberal Zionist, but there were politicians who actually had a role in the genocide if this was a sober minded political attack.

25-50 is a wide span, maybe they are hoping we get our prison system better and focus on rehabilitation in the next 15-20 years

It's weird to give politicians multi-million dollar mansions for free. It's weirder to renovate the mansion for $1,900,000 from tax payer money while only increasing taxes on the lower and middle class. It's weirder still that there is another $6,000,000 being stolen from tax funds again to fix his burnt down mansion now, while intentionally hiding where all of that renovation money went.

Nobody is being "given" a mansion. It's temporarily occupied by the the office holder. Also can you point to the tax increase? The Google AI says there hasn't been an increase in income taxes since 2004
