Now that I'm remembering it, that was another thing that was offputting to me. It was too pervy. Sure that stuff is tame, but it's still way more pervy than the anime I normally watch. Like in one episode he kept accidentally stealing panties with the steal skill... Why?

I'm still gonna give it another chance, but I don't know how much of that I can put up with

This, basically. None of their arguments have been or will be directed at the presiding judges or the juries. It is simply a way to feed and broadcast a sad shitstain's victim complex to stoke the ire of the underlying cultists.

Not sure when the appeal decision will be made
Don't know the usual speed of NY's appellate docket, and there's nothing about this one that would cause it to be bumped up in priority (no emergent questions of law like the immunity bullshit going on elsewhere in the federal courts). That said, given that there hasn't been news regarding appellate brief due dates, I would anticipate oral arguments no earlier than October this year, if not later, and then a decision a month or two thereafter.

I mean, I understand that in general for normal crimes.

I just feel like the judicial system in general is being rather flippant over the incident, like it's just a run of the mill case.

"Oh, he's remorseful for stealing that item and it's his first offense? Ok, well I think I can offer a reduction in sentence"

These people were trying to steal an election and we know what Trump would have done with it had they succeeded.

We also see it in the USSC in the way they so casually handled Trump's insurrection in regards to CO. They argued it from an academic standpoint over the legitimate and stated threat that Trump is to the nation and its ability to function.
Agreed regarding the sentencing side of things.

The academic issue is broadly applicable to appellate courts in general in recent years, especially where the issues are not "traditionally" emotional/high stakes. It was very apparent when the gay marriage cases were circulating in the circuit courts, and the same is true with respect to the various statutory schemes regarding transgender care. It's an unfortunate side effect of appellate judges being detached from the trial level: we only had access to a written transcript of the trial proceedings and testimony and copies of the exhibits. Without that personal touch, it's difficult to not approach appellate work in an academic way.

It also doesn't help that appellate judges are generally in situations where they are not personally impacted by the rules contained in the authored opinions. That insulation contributes very much so to the approach that appellate work is an academic exercise.

Not to say that all judges are like that. When I was clerking and drafting opinions for my judge, one of the most important things for her was respecting the emotional investment of both the appellant and appellee in writing the opinion (where applicable; if it was an issue over money like a business to business breach of contract or something, she was generally "meh, it's just money"). While I try to be objective both in my work and personal comments, I keep that lesson in mind.

Yeah I'm bothered by the judge saying he would have gotten a shorter sentence if he wasn't so hardheaded.

Fucking why? Why do any of them deserve leniency for attacking the Capitol to halt democracy and bring harm to Congress? Utterly insane how this country coddles white supremacist fascists domestic terrorists.

Yes, the Proud Boys and Oathkeeper upper echelon has gotten lengthy sentences, however their success was predicated on the facilitation of the mob such as these people the court wants to be lenient on.
Contrition/remorse are factors considered during sentencing. That's where that comment came from.

Another question: Did they possibly just reduce the amount he has to pay to stay the execution pending appeal to $175 and the total judgement still stands if he loses the appeal?
Total judgment stands if the appellate court affirms. Bond amount and payment thereof doesn't change that, nor does it preclude post-judgment interest from accruing or for Trump potentially being on the hook for the costs of the appeal.

I feel like bad dubs the way they were in the early to mid 2000s are behind us. Now most dubs are decent id say, but they rarely do anything creative or outdo the sub.

Older dubs often took way more creative liberties, which could lead to something horrific like the one piece 4kids dub, but also led to dubs i consider better than the sub like Yu Yu hakusho.

Old dubs had extreme highs and lows, while modern dubs I feel like are usually just decent without excelling at anything.
4Kids gave us the Heart of the Cards, Shadow Realm, and One Piece rap.
