(32,653 posts)Just hearing about all the breaking news. Lock him up!! It's been a SUPER LONG journey, but I think we're getting closer to where we need to be. I truly believe it's because we truly believed that it had to be done, regardless of politics or what's convenient. trump is facing justice, again. And possibly again in Georgia. I feel satisfied and calm. Like relief. I'd like to thank Merrick for stepping aside and appointing Jack Smith and not some clown stooge who would dither and fuck everything up *assuming the rumors of indictment are true.

Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)barbtries
(28,774 posts)prosecutors don't bring charges unless and until they are practically certain to get a conviction. It's still 2023, time to get this to court before any election. and: trump is going to spend the rest of his pathetic horrific life in a world of hurt, terrified and rage filled, as his cult shrinks and shrinks to nothing and eventually history records him with a series of asterisks after his name for all the crimes, lies, bodies (unnecessary deaths from COVID and others), impeachments, incitements, lawyers, etc, etc, etc. EVEN if he doesn't get locked up, which we all hope dearly that he does. or dies. he could die and that would be okay too.

(632 posts)Strictly related to classified docs/obstruction. One if not two more shoes will fall - J6 and *possibly* what impeachment #1 didn't have to nail the pussy boy pukes vote to be "guilty". This one or two will be filed in DC. So if on the very slam chance TFOG walks in FL, he'll walk to a cell in DC.

(15,534 posts)But I just had to call my sister who lives out of state and we spent three hours on the phone CELEBRATING! We laughed and joked and rehashed all that we've been through with this mfer squatting in our White House and just hung up saying now we can't wait to see the next steps and next indictments. You'd think we were having a long distance party or something.
He better end up serving time is all I can say.

(42,770 posts)offensive to rational, thinking people on DU who are labeled downers just because they are realists.
Love u of course, but hate title of post. Amen.
❤️
NJCher
(35,625 posts)proves you're not a realist.
This is real. He got indicted.
Constant negative, hopeless comments indicate that some people don't realize that words and thoughts have power. Think negative? Life and outcomes are negative.
I have always wondered why anyone would engage in such self-defeating behavior.
There's a term for it in psychology: the self-fulfilling prophecy. This is not woo (not that there's anything wrong with woo). It is in college textbooks in first and second year courses!
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)ever see "CONSTANT" negative remarks. What site are you referring to?
Ha... Was the first to say, take a night and just enjoy that he got indicted for sexual assault!
Please post 3 DU links that show constant negative remarks

(42,770 posts)who complained that it all was taking so long was a Debbie Downer. That trump has yet to see justice. Maybe you're referring to something else?
Downers not related to trump? Maybe taking wrong and it was just joyous ! Hope
Bottom line - no one not ecstatic that trump indicted - just wish you hadn't added that veiled diss.

(25,380 posts)"American Dream" clip again, collapse, "screwed," corruption, anger, etc. Of course such persons might be a little touchy.
Did not appreciate the mocking legal experts received. The rule was, if I don't know something happened, it didn't because I'm right about everything.
This is an extremely powerful frightening international criminal organization Trump/Republicans are part of. Don't know why anyone thought it was going to be quick or easy.

(11,560 posts)On election night, 2016, she cried all night. Her politics aren't front and center; her tears were mainly for her two youngest grands, who are half PR.
Happily, they never suffered any ill treatment, and were too young to get the inherent danger of it all. I'm happy to say that they are not only flourishing.
They are passionate about their interests (dance, music and cheerleading) and are crushing it scholastically...not a single bit of all that thanks to any Republican.
