The date and place (I suspect that the 'by May' was just a suggestion, unless Kim Jong Un had some reason to want it done by the end of May) haven't been decided yet, so, while he's agreed to it, it's not actually 'on'.

They're gonna wrestle, I got my money on the fat one.

Incidentally, TN apparently decided to not put the kiddiefucker bill on hold, which is good news, but I just completed a really confusing series of searches trying to figure out why I had NEVER heard of this Fowler asshole and his legal theory which apparently is just "if we pretend gay marriage was never legal then we can try to fight it still, but if we admit it was made legal by doing something against pedos wanting a legal loophole to fuck 10 year old girls, then we would have to admit it was made legal so if we don't admit it was made legal then we can pretend it wasn't made legal and we can sleep easy knowing old men can fuck their underage wives in peace" as far as I can tell?

Just gotta love the logical pretzels some people tie themselves into in order to justify some things.

I expect Kim to get to the meeting with Trump and whip out a complex looking remote and demand millions of dollars or he uses his earthquake machine to destroy us all.

Then Trump screams to fire the super space laser and the news feed goes to static.

Though in fact the sentence was because of him defrauding investors, not because of the price change.

Defrauding investors 5 times...

It could not have happened to a more deserving fellow.

I hope they strip him of all his money too, next to the 7 years in prison.

His lawyer said there were times he wanted to punch him in the face.

I'm not sure if you could say he's mentally ill, but holy fuck is he not normal. He seems to totally lack social danger sense.

Some of the jury candidate interviews are interesting

I honestly doubt he's gonna last too long in jail, a literal walking bag of dicks is bound to rub a lot of people the wrong way, wherever he goes.

Still, the fuckface utterly deserves it.

Now that is a judge that's working damage control. No admonishment of the jurors for blatent bias or swearing, just running through trying to find someone who could believably be impartial. I'm kind of surprised they didn't just ask for a judge trial, though Shkreli was probably well aware of his guilt in even purely legal terms. "You'd have to convince me he was innocent rather than guilty", my god.

Sadly, if I'm being honest I suspect he'll be out of jail in short order. Pardoned, paroled, appealed...it'll take more than this to convince me the rich aren't above the law, and even if he's stuck he'll probably be playing tennis instead of bunking with MS13 soldiers.

At least Trump said even he though Shkreli was a worm of a human, but then again, there's always r/TrumpCriticizesTrump...Presidential Pardon inbound.
