      Lol, right? I’ll believe that shit when I see it. It’s never going to happen and he knows it.

      Goddamn I wish I was wrong.

        Same. I think the best we can hope for, and it’s a very long shot, is he gets house arrest at The Redneck Shit House AKA Maralago. And that’s if he is fully convicted 100% on Every single charge.

      Oh man, I hope so. I’d love to see another 50 charges get lumped on.

      For a guy screaming about draining the swamp and Mexico sending all the bad hombres, he sure is a fucking crook surrounded by a real shit pile of criminal sycophants.

    the only way to stop him is throw him in jail for contempt which Trump knows they’ll never do— so he’ll never stop. The worst the court has the guts to do to him I stop fine him, and that only means his dumbass followers will be directly (further) funding the witness tampering/harassment and incitements to violence.

    Please put his fat ass in jail when he inevitably threatens the hell out of a witness, ignores direct finger-wagging explanation of how he can’t do exactly that, and then quadruples down on doing it as loudly and bluntly as his meager vocabulary permits.

      he can. nobody can really stop him from speaking out however he wants.

      the thing is, he’s not immune- or not supposed to be immune- to the consequences of such. and the consequences are getting locked up. Maybe, we should break his knuckles. just for good measure.

    They should be using this kind of reverse psychology on him all the time.

    This is the world we live in. Where a twice-impeached convicted rapist who once represented this country- now has to be warned not to threaten witnesses in a trial where he’s accused of trying to overthrow his government- and… also happens to be the front runner in re-election.

    I now give up on America. If it’s politics can’t stand on it’s one and adhere to the very laws they demand of its citizens- then I no longer wish to actively partake in any part of it.

    America needs to have the plug pulled on it and just be left to die. Fuck this place.

      I get ya, I really do. Don’t forget how Germany reformed itself, and hopefully it never gets to that point, but country are never truely lost. A majority of people outright oppose this shit, a minority is gullible “both sides” fragile mind, and finally, only another minority truely support the evil that is going on. Keep fighting for reform and better elections and the small minority of morons will be shunned out of polite society like many other western countries in the world. Get rid of the two-party system.

      I need you to stand up, hand on the heart, and recite the pledge of allegiance immediately. Your brainwashing wears off and needs to be renewed.

      I’m with you, ready for where you’re gonna take me…

      I now give up on America.

      Goddamnit, no. That’s not where you take this. You get angry, and you funnel your anger into something positive. You vote, you reach out to people, you contribute your time and energy supporting what you know is right, and you don’t stop fighting. Unless of course you truly believe your side isn’t worth fighting for. But from your first paragraph that doesn’t seem to be the case.

      Fight for what is right because your position is stronger, your supporters are smarter with better ethics. Recognize the dirty games the weak side is resorting to, and be right there to call it out and put a stop to it. We might be seeing the desperate, extreme death throes of a burning Republican party. But if you back off and throw your hands up, you give them the opportunity to manage the fire and keep trying to destroy this democracy.

    Trump is going to make death threats against her and she’ll furrow her brow and go tut-tut.

    Damnit, I had him down as breaking the order in .025 mooches, and we’re past that already. I guess the guy who bet on the 3am adderall-tweets is going to win the pool …
