TRUMP CONVICTED

When the jury in DC delivers its verdict or the SCOTUS disqualifies him. If he weasels out of both then maybe the Magats are right, he is divine and capable of miracles! However, he has to also get a pass on Georgia and possible future criminal charges in NY over his tax and banking fraud, then the is the secret documents case... All while his cronies and minions are pleading out, squealing their heads off or going down in flames like Rudy.
I don't think he is getting disqualified,don't think SCOTUS has the balls not to mention 5 arch conservative agenda's having asses in 5 seats(it will be a bad look though ,the vote won't be a 9-0 harmony verdict,depending on CJ Stevens it's 6-3,5-4 ,so the split along ideology remains).The Jan 6. case is the only one w/a chance to effect the election IMO,I'd prefer the document case personally because he's dead to rights on that docket but this one and the others will be delayed by stalling,jury haggling,and every legal tactic known to man considering the source,like you I can't wait for the rats to show themselves.Anyone considering going down in honor of this "man" has undergone a lobotomy and only need the scant intellect to ask themselves what would trump do if the roles were reversed?

Another rant? Trump will not be in prison after this spring. You have no sense of how long this is going to drag out. There will be a trial in late spring. It should only take a few weeks but probably will drag on for more than two months. After he's found guilty of election interference by a jury then the appeals process will begin to unwind. As long as he has money to fund his legal effort, it will drag on, probably for years. During the whole time, he will be free to talk and say whatever he likes. Gag orders mean nothing to him. Go ahead and charge him with contempt of court, enforcing THAT will drag on for years too.

Until his assertion that he's free to commit whatever crimes he wants as long as he thinks it is in the official duties of the office that he still claims to hold is proven wrong. By proven, I mean that he has nothing more to appeal and SCOTUS has shot down every stupid argument that he can possibly make -- and that's a long list. Until his assertion is proven wrong, Trump will be the leader of the GOP and a threat to free societies everywhere.

Or he'll die before the process is done, leaving open questions that another wannabe dictator will try to exploit. .
I agree,knowing the sources involved this is going to be a "slow boat to China" in resolving all these cases and a dizzying array of stall tactics,appeals,and any other obstructions deemed necessary will certainly be employed by a guy so at home in courtrooms it's akin to sitting in his lazy boy w/the fireplace glowing and rover at his feet. With all the hatred and division going down and impending potential violence that seems capable of causing civil disruption that will make the 60's look like a "love in" pre and post election .I'm starting to throw around the thought that if Biden is victorious he should consider a pardon for this asshole,while as unpalatable as a teaspoon of castor oil it would squash the martyr complex that surely will be employed,blow up all the conspiracy theories before they are born,reduce the chances of extreme violence,hopefully promote healing,Biden showing mercy might well be the potion America needs.Maybe I'm nuts,but the way all this is trending.....???

I guess I'm an optimist, but the tea leaves don't look good for Donald, IMO he is going down for everything and on time or close in DC. The great thing is we won't have long to wait for a couple of key rulings that might seal Donald's fate. I'm done with Donald until something happens in court.

… the thought that if Biden is victorious he should consider a pardon for this asshole,while as unpalatable as a teaspoon of castor oil it would squash the martyr complex that surely will be employed,blow up all the conspiracy theories before they are born,reduce the chances of extreme violence,hopefully promote healing,
Biden doing such a thing would set a bad precedent whose downside greatly exceeds any imagined temporary political gains. It would have the opposite effect of healing the nation.

- it would cheapen a criminal conviction of that insurrectionist
- it would not change maga minds, not elected ones nor the base
- it would strengthen maga’s belief in their own legitimacy/righteousness and prolong the national crisis.

I think the chances of Biden pardoning that man or any of his coconspirators are zero.

give ya an idea of his rant....oh this is good:

NEW: Chris Kise asks for permission to have Trump speak. Engoron, “Do you promise to just comment on the facts and the law?” Trump starts talking immediately without agreeing.

“This was a political witch hunt; we should receive damages for what they have taken our company through. They have no documents—they have nothing!” The only thing they have, Trump concedes, is the triplex, which was a mistake.

“I am not sure the dollar amount would have been that far off, if you want to know!” But Trump continues, “I am an innocent man. I have been politically persecuted. . . . This statute is vicious.”

“What has happened here is a fraud on ME. . . . The amount of taxes I have paid over this period is close to $300 million. They don’t want me here anymore. I have a problem; they want to make sure I don’t run again.”

Trump goes on — without any interruption from Engoron or her team — and attacks James, accusing her of election interference. “You have your own agenda,” Trump angrily says to Engoron. “You can’t listen for more than one minute!”

Engoron pleads with Kise, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” Trump nonetheless accuses James of going after him for her political gain, including an allegedly “failed” run for Governor, at which point Engoron shuts it down.

But it’s too late. Everything Trump wanted to say was said. And now, having said it, he has left the courtroom after insisting James should pay him for the havoc she’s wreaked on his company.

No pardon for attempted overthrow of government. No pardon for Trump or other insurrectionists. Pardoning him is weakness toward people who despise weakness. Nixon should not have been pardoned either. It was made in the interests of healing division and nothing of the sort happened afterward. In the next election, the majority of this country will vote for Biden and for democracy. The people we vote for must follow through with our mandate to protect democracy.

I view the trials of Trump and the pace at which the legal proceedings are going as "deliberate speed". We can take delays, deflections and Trump's diatribes. They are mostly harmless. What would be harmful are missteps that end in miscarriages of justice. So, I'm listening to gadflies like DIY as the counterpoint to Trump's MAGA posts. Both are wrong. Let our politics be what they are -- messy, noisy, confusing and dynamic. Let our justice system be none of that. Both are necessary.

No comment really required, but if he tries it with Chutkan...

One thing needs to be said, about the press more than Trump. Every time the fucker gets in front of a camera to bitch and whine the press should ask loudly, "Mr. Trump will you tell your supporters, no violence". Keep pressing him and republicans on this point.

you should have heard him after the fraud trail.....wanted to ask him if he wanted some cheese for that whine...
