After the aggressiveness of the current administration, you think there is a chance the next administration might come along and say "nope, they need to serve the full 35 years".

The sentence is 35 years. They could legally be forced to serve the full 35 for any reason. As far as I am concerned that is the weight being hung around their neck, not the imaginary eight.

And eight years in prison is an insanely long time, don't forget the terrible health care and dangers from other inmates. You can lose all your teeth and die from infections very easily if someone decides to just let you rot.

He was given 3.5 years for time served. He'll really be eligible for parole after a full decade in jail.
Yeah what's a decade in prison anyway.

Go spend 10 days in your bathroom. I bet you cannot do it.

Now realize how incredibly comfortable you are compared to prison.

How is that a useful comparison to anything?

First I have heard about that. I had to look it up on wikipedia. I have a resentment of gendered pronouns but I don't think there is any realistic hope for change.
