I grinch-smiled at this. |
While I would prefer to see him have to sit his butt in the courtroom(s) for all of his multiple trials and, ultimately, have to live out the rest of his life in prison, him fleeing in absolute cowardice would be a nice treat, too, if only for the joy of watching his equally cowardly followers explain how that action would be an action of strength. |
The saddest statement of our society is that people like my sister-in-law walk around saying, "Just you wait, there's a lot of information still coming, there's a big report ready to be published next week and we'll all find out what's really going on! You're gonna' find out what Biden's really been up to all this time! You're gonna' see that this has all been a set-up and the Republicans let it go so that they can make a Really. Big. Announcement. Soon!"
The fact that there are more than 10 people in this country still supporting him is a depressing demonstration of delusion. |
They are waiting in the bushes for the Great Pumpkin, too. |
And you know what's sad? Even if he were hiding under an assumed name in Moscow, he'd still win the R primary. And he'd have essentially a 50/50 chance of winning the general. I am generally an optimist but the R party's descent into madness, and so many millions of Americans joyfully joining along for the ride, has really challenged that. |
Me as well. I hope he acts as his own attorney. While, of course, giving Trump valuable legal advice. |
Wow. Surprise. Another New Yorker. |
Deplorables come from every part of the nation, but it is true that their current orange rapist leader is from NYC. ![]() |
So here’s a question. I’m sure they will release trump following his arraignment. He’s not realistically a flight risk. But what about the other characters like Guiliani, Eastman, Clark, Meadows, and Ellis? Anyone know what GA bail practices are? |
Totally stealing this expression. |
It all stems from the same root cause, an inability or outright refusal to examine the facts and evidence out of a fear it will contradict your worldview. Trump is not a criminal despite decades of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary? No problem, I feel like Trump is our savior therefore he is. Biden/Hillary/Obama is a criminal despite literally zero evidence whatsoever including thousands of man-hours wasted on sham "investigations?" No problem, I feel like they're crooked therefore they are. The worst part is that there's literally no cure. As Mark Twain said, "you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into." The best we can hope for is that they'll lose interest and shift their delusions to something less damaging to the nation. |
cnn has the indictment here, annotated:

And it's state court. No corrupt SCOTUS to bail his orange a$$ out. |
Yep. Trump. Fitton. Giuliani. Cuomo. Spitzer. Weiner. Quite a group. |
