Toni is obviously mistaking America for a country with a justice system that actually holds powerful people accountable.

I will take that bet, every single day. TFG won't spend 1 minute in prison, let alone the rest of his life. Keep dreaming.

Whether convicted or not, TFG will be charged and appear at a booking.

I don’t believe for a minute Merrick Garland fears the MAGA bullies who have tormented his soft-spoken and quiet demeanor all his life.

It’s people like him who shine at the moment they’re needed, fuck the detractors—think Fauci or even the reborn Michael Cohen.

Garland isn’t finished with TFG, but only after he’s wiped out the Deplorables. Right now he’s at the part of the campaign where he’s dividing the opposition into two groups—Republicans and MAGA-Republicans.

After Joe is finished, nobody but a deplorable will want to remain a MAGA—their obese, redneck, non-Park Avenue looks are the antithesis of the Trump Tower beautiful people like him and Jeffery Epstein. And so the remaining weak-minded, snowflake, sheeple Republicans will turn on the MAGAs because, God forbid, their friends and family think they support insurrectionists and poor interior decorating choices.

And everyone will play along as if they deserve to change their spots. It’s theater, I’ll play my part..but I’ll never let them forget it.

He will be convicted in the court of public opinion when all the evidence is out and the others are convicted.

tRump may even be tried and convicted, but delay everything on endless appeals.

But as to him spending time in prison, his age is a factor as he might die any day. He is likely to die before he exhausts all proceedings before going to jail.

not. I just want anything to happen that will keep him from running in 2024, and I don’t care how.

Since the Mueller investigation got under way. Glad that's looking more like where it's going. The only realistic path to take for accomplishing the task of ringing accountability.
