I can't stand the thought of him running again, even if he'd lose by a huge margin. I just don't want to live through the media's constant attention to his every fart that comes out of his ugly mug.

If he or his family collected classified documents they thought they might be able to later sell or use as leverage, they could be looking at prison time.

That this criminal POS could be taken down over posession of classified documents in light of “crooked Hillary’s” buttery males … would be pretty fucking sweet.

"It's because the leftist Democrats are scared to run against me".

Yeah, right. You haven't won the popular vote yet, you freaking shit-stain. 😒

on Alicia Menendez’s MSNBC show (filling in for Chris Hayes). That’s the real prize here — I have no delusions that Trump will ever see the inside of a cell, unless maybe it’s a padded one.

But having no chance at holding Federal office again? Probably the best we can hope for. Then we have to fight off DeSantis and the rest of the goblins.

...to remove any pesky details that make LordGod Trump ineligible to become and remain President! (And to make abortion and voting as a Democrat illegal.)

Best to be clear-eyed about what and who we're up against. Nancy MacLean's book Democracy in Chains illuminates the long-running plot to achieve one-party rule in America.

1) The Constitution defines the requirements for office and aren't going to be subjegated by US Code.

2) Knowing that the DOJ is willing to make the President an object of criminal prosecution is going to frighten the hell out of the entire cabal of sychophants. That is going to be the real blockbuster effect.

Could this mean that we could nullify his Presidency and not have to pay him or protect him anymore?

Wish him into the cornfield, Billy...please!
