Dare I wonder if we are getting close to Critical Mass...

[Tommy Carcetti]

…when it comes to Trump.


For years, it feels like the keys to his downfall have always been just over the horizon, but all the signs over the past month, the past weeks, everything…it just seems like finally he might not be able to avoid facing justice. For at least some of his crimes, even if not all of them.

But it feels closer now. It really does.

1. Lady Justice will prevail. Yes. she. will.

[COL Mustard]

12. I hope so.

But remember it only takes one MAGAt on the jury to vote not guilty, no matter what the evidence may show to fuck the whole process up.

[mobeau69]

13. Not in NY fraud case.

[COL Mustard]

15. From your lips to God's ears

Or gods, or Goddess's, or just into the ether. I hope you're right!!!

28. Cool!

I wonder what size handcuffs he needs? I know it's a civil trial but I'd still love to see those tiny hands in cuffs.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. Excellent info. Thank you

[Walleye]

2. Two federal criminal investigations, two different states investigating his crime

I would think one of these has got to hit. We still haven’t heard from Fani Willis’ grand jury

[tinrobot]

7. Plus two additional referrals from the NYAG

I'm sure the IRS might want to take a second look at those taxes he was trying to hide.

[Walleye]

8. Oh yes the mighty IRS will come down on his ass.He can't fire anybody in there

[Joinfortmill]

30. I thnk the IRS is going to nail his ass.

[dchill]

3. Justice is coming.

[Brainfodder]

4. The list from NYAG yesterday, and specifics, if true pretty cut and dried case of TAX EVASION!

How long did Wesley Sniper do for what was it, 10M?

I don't see bail offered either, since FLIGHT RISK!

BYE BYE SHITTY GUY!

[vlyons]

5. Oh he is in deep do-do now

Certainly up to his ankles, but not yet up to his knees. No matter which way he turns to step, it's all do-do stretching out to the horizon and beyond the beyond. I suspect that now Ms Leticia has turned over a criminal referral to the DOJ, that the IRS has some busy bees buzzing over his past filings too.

It wouldn't surprise me if his kids commit him to a mental ward as incompetent to stand trial. Seems that would be his only out from prosecution. Of course that won't get THEM off the hook.

[Solomon]

51. LOL That was fun to read!

[dalton99a]

6. His fall will be as spectacular and terrific as his rise

[Evolve Dammit]

33. So Down the escalator this time (into the depths of HE double toothpicks)?? Perfect

[Skittles]

9. what makes this all the more sweeter

is the idea of a STRONG BLACK GAL bringing down that vile orange POS

[Walleye]

11. Yes somebody needs to call him out on that peekaboo thing

[Skittles]

14. I....er......

I confess that, being a night worker, I am often very much out of the loop....do I need to, er, google PEEKABOO

[Walleye]

17. No it is a corruption of a racial slur. Don't know if I should write it here.

Popular with racists in the 50s. Starts with a j. He called her Leticia peekaboo James

[Skittles]

20. OK, I googled

WTF, he calls her that while calling HER racist - the man is just plain fucking VILE

[Walleye]

22. Yeah he hasn't called Merrick Garland a racist yet. I wonder what the difference is Hmm

[rubbersole]

41. Having a BLACK WOMAN nail his ass to the wall...

has got to chafe his tiny balls more than anything. Sure hope it doesn't bust an artery in his skull.

[Skittles]

46. oh you KNOW it

[Walleye]

10. The harder they come, the harder they fall one and all. Love Jimmy Cliff

https://m.

[Skittles]

21. great song

takes me back, I remember my dad playing it when I was a teenager

[Walleye]

24. I just love everything by Jimmy Cliff, always makes me feel better

[Skittles]

26. you may be on to something

my dad suffered from serious depression (ended his life at age50)....the only times he seemed at peace was when he was listening to his vast collection of 45's and albums

[Mr.Bill]

40. Music had gotten me through

a lot of tough times.

[Skittles]

48. music can be very powerful

for example, I grew up as a GI brat, moved constantly - if you mention a year to me, I have to think about where I was....but play a song, and I remember exactly where I was / how old I was when I first heard it

[Mr.Bill]

50. It's always been an important part

of my life, even though I can't really play an instrument. I have a guitar I fool around with once and awhile, but I am my only audience. Just trying to play it gives one more of an appreciation for those who do it well.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. "One and All". Perfect. "As sure as the sun will shine."

[Otto_Harper]

16. I really hate to be the Gloomy Gus, but

If I were to have been found to have mis-appropriated and illegally stored and shared one single page of the hundreds of pages of documents, I would have been, IMMEDIATELY, arrested, placed in handcuffs, leg irons, body shackles, holding cells, held incommunicado in solitary confinement and questioned for days at end to discern each and every movement and contact I made during the time that that single page was in my possession. Then, I would be immediately placed in solitary confinement in a Federal dungeon for many, many years.

Until I see any evidence of such a reaction by the officials in charge of protecting our National Security, I will continue to believe that the fix is in, and he will skate with trivial charges at best.

[Resistance1]

18. Call me sick, but

I would love to see him have a nervous breakdown in the middle of a faux news interview

[Initech]

27. Last night wasn't a nervous breakdown?

I've said a lot of stupid shit in my life, but I can thankfully say that I've never been able to change the status of a document through telepathy!

[CharleyDog]

37. it was just a ploy for sound bites

some audiences will only hear "declassified" or "Hillary emails" and that's all they need to know. the dotard is secure in their hearts as god emperor.

[rubbersole]

44. Well you don't have what it takes to lead today's republican party.

So there.

[Initech]

45. I will definitely say that you're not wrong!

[Marius25]

19. My concern is still his supporters.

1 MAGA cult member on a jury of any of his trials and he gets acquitted. There are still tens of millions of idiots in this country who will refuse to believe Trump is guilty, even in the face of undeniable proof.

[Initech]

25. Oh the MAGA bubble is going to burst. And it won't be pretty when that happens!

[FSogol]

31. It'll pop like a festering boil.

[Initech]

39. Well it is a festering boil so we're halfway there!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. It won't burst, but it is oozing pus badly and it will only get worse

I was an enthusiastic supporter and gave him a pass on way too much
until he sold us out with his cowardice on COVID
you’re just not intelligent enough to process that real Americans who
were never ever anti-Trump have real problems with the guy
I’ve spent nearly three years fighting the problems he left us, while
you’ve probably been playing fanboi sitting on your ass doing nothing
the entire time
60 posted on 2022-09-21 by thoughtomator

and to be perfectly clear, I didn’t turn completely sour on the guy
until very recently when I found out what he did with the $250 million
he raised for election integrity
that’s what’s paying for his lawyers and his big rallies - he stole
the money, almost none of it went to election integrity
then I started to review the other things I gave him a pass on and
realized he’s been doing us dirty for quite some time now

[Joinfortmill]

29. I agree. Looking forward to the perp walk for this treasonous bastard,

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. There are a lot of uncharged crimes ...

[Upthevibe]

36. Kick. N/T

[llmart]

38. I will feel a whole lot better about my country if this truly happens.

No slaps on the wrist.

[stopdiggin]

43. I think the thing with classified docs

really kind of put the 'stink' on things for a lot of people in government, current and ex-military, etc. (old style 'my country ..' patriots, et.al.)

On the other hand - I would have sworn those same people would have been completely put off with playing palzie-walzie with Putin and Kim. I run into a lot of folks that readily admit they think Trump talks a lot of sh*t - but were ready to give a pass, because of 'the things he does.' Screwing around with national security and secrets - that's different. And I'm not sure if giving the middle finger to 'the establishment' is going to work for him this time. Guess we'll find out.
------- ------ -------

[DownriverDem]

47. Yes it does

It is so exhausting to read even the headlines with it comes to trump.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. Hope so! But his disapprovals been dropping unbelievably!

Down to 53% jhc. And Rs don't think ANYTHING he does is bad

[Warpy]

52. I hope so

I'll believe it just as soon as I see the first TFG crazoid get told to shove it with as much ferocity as they turned on us.

I suppose that makes me uncivil, but that's how I will know the tide is turned, when the tired and fed up turn fearless.
